I love that Shaw feels better after shooting some people, and that Reese gets that.
I really liked that moment: Reese clearly recognizing that Shaw was grieving and letting her do it in her own way. Felt very much like him.
It's possible Fusco will make it out. I can envision a scenario with Finch as the sole survivor. I think Reese and Shaw are probably doomed, and I'm sad about that, because they're my favourites.
I remember that I was pretty convinced Shaw would make it, because after all the fake death and psychological terror she went through with Samaritan, killing her would have felt really wrong to me. Finch on the other hand? I was sure he'd die for the longest time, creator of the Machine who started it all and so on. John was up in the air, but once they'd established the other teams, I was pretty sure he would die. I was less satisfied with it than you were, though, and I still don't think it was necessary.
I wonder if what-if AU Root would have fallen in love with Samaritan, given her relationship with the Machine in our universe.
Given her personality and beliefs in the beginning, I'm pretty sure she would have. In fact, with her "next step of evolution" and "caring is a flaw" and being convinced that Harold crippled the Machine, I'm not sure why she was so focused on the Machine as her sole God in the first place. Samaritan seemed more up early!Root's alley and even though she met the Machine first, she could still have changed sides or gone for a "two Gods = better than one" approach instead. Then again, I guess at that point, she was too into being the Machine's chosen human, so her almost religious devotion decided her side more than any actual decision.
The suspense is killing me, in addition to the gunshot wound.' Bless Finch.
Hee. That was a favourite line for me, too.
(Meanwhile, you're going to have to adjust without my constant liveblogging.)
It was interesting to follow along! I hadn't thought this much about the show in quite a while, so this brought back some memories.
