Show is coming on in 4.5 hours.
Let the hype begin.
>>70577867
OP I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you're the only person who gives a fuck, but you're welcome to talk to yourself in this thread.
>>70577867
Im gonna wait till the 21st and watch the final 3
>>70577903
>Wasn't around to see the two megabump threadssi the show must be shit
ftfy
>>70577867
OP, I love this show too.
The final monologue made be Harold was the pinnacle of this show for me.
>"I'm going to kill you."
>that glare at the camera
>Harold and The Machine unleashing chaos against Samaritan
Top-tier trolling from Harold. Samaritan is going to shit itself.
>>70578039
LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR
LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR
>>70578036
If we can get another 2 days worth of threads again Im gonna be so happy. That shit was magical
RIP ROOT
>>70578039
I feel like I missed an episode, in regards to the final Machine vs Samaritan battle.
With Harold (have we ever actually found out his REAL last name? I have this vague memory of seeing it flashed on the screen once for just a moment during one of the flashback things from the 70s but I don't know if that actually happened) having set up that minuscule version of the war that Samaritan keeps winning, have they ever gone back to it since that one episode where it ended with Sam's tally just raising like mad?
>>70582184
harold's real name is Harold Bird
Episode is out on pirate sites
>>70583106

Link.
I had given up on this show half way through last season, but got bored and picked it back up.
The last few episodes have been pretty good.
It almost makes it more frustrating because you realize they could have made a good show all along.
>>70583106
Downloading it now, has anyone seen it yet? Was it as good as last week?
>>70581027
rip
How the hell does this Machine cell survive, if Samaritan has blind spot for only 7 persons?
Why do the Canadians get these shows early early?
45 minutes!
>>70584475
maybe it has something to do with those other guys not knowing about samaritan, just helping the "normal" numbers
>>70585590
Because CBS sucks.
I'm watching live now.
Taking bets on who is behind the assassination attempt.
>Samaritan
>Harold Finch
>A concerned 3rd party
>>70586465
Same, I'll be extremely pressed if it tops last week
>Rest in peace, Coco Puffs. Lord knows you deserve it.
Damn...
>>70586487
Control, who busted out of her cell but is still being set up by Samaritan.
Shit he isn't crazy anymore.
>the Machine actually acting like Root
>Harold... Osprey
kek
Someone give me a greentext summary of this show. Is it watchable tier or good tier?
Also, post pictures of Root.
>still sticking with the birds
>More Root
>Root forever
I miss the days when this was about Finch and Reese, not the Root Show.
>>70586616
aw, sad Shaw.....
>she is wondering if killing herself will reset the simulation
>the Machine actually turned itself into a soft upload of Root in memoriam
>Shaw at the park
Aww.
>>70586613
It's great tier. Something you honestly have to get past the generic earlier eps in order to appreciate the show as a whole.
>Relevant One
>President literally has machine's highest protection priority
>>70586624
>blue means relevant
TIL
>>70586613
Overall good tier with frequent moments of great tier
>initially it was procedural with an intereting and timely gimmick
>eventually, but very early on, it escalated into a scifi allegory of two competing gods, 2 AI's, warring with each other for control over the fate of humanity with their two sets of acolytes killing each other on their behalf
>>70586767
The President in PoI isn't fucking Obama so that makes sense.
>>70586794
Considering how few relevant episodes were made, it's not hard a hard detail to miss
>POTUS isn't the victim, POTUS is the perpetrator
Have we met Logan before?
He seems familiar but I recognize the actor so I don't know if that is messing with me.
>>70586995
Obviously.
>>70586995
He's the dotcom guy.
>>70586995
I want to say he was POI from the third season, but my memory's a little fuzzy.
>>70586957
>the president just starts shooting motherfuckers
>>70586957
>Thinking it's anyone except Samaritan
Have they not been paying attention for the past month? Stupid Reese.
>>70586995
He's the filthy rich tech savvy guy who made a knock-off Facebook.
Yes Harold, unshackle the AI Godling.
Oh fuck it's turning into its own dictator!
>>70587341
When the opposition is an unshackled AI it's already at the point where everything is fucked and you need one yourself.
>Shaw will never threaten you in a low sultry tone
>>70587341
being a pussy in war doesn't usually end well
So is the machine going to finally be given its "full potential" by Harold or what?
I am going to be disappointed if Samaritan gets taken down in the end by just a virus.
Turn to nuke everything and go back to caveman times.
Congressmen perpetrating a false flag for more expansive surveillance? I'm surprised this didn't come up earlier in the series.
WHO COULD BE BEHIND THIS GUYS
>>70587450
Has to be, or humanity is basically fucked. Well, humanity may possibly be fucked anyway, but without doing do humanity is absolutely fucked. At least a human friendly AI God able to fully act in the war against the evil AI God means some humans might survive all this.
>>70587542
it'd be neat if it was a Control Loyalist faction
>>70587550
*doing so
What was that pause? Why is this commercial break going on so long?
>>70587633
America.
>>70586995
He gave John an expensive ass watch that had a tracking chip in it I think.
Or maybe Harold.
>Another random irrelevant
Uh oh...
I feel like this would make people want more security.
>Shaw's not going to shoot the drone
Aww man. I was waiting for that.
>>70587798
this, if anything it would justify more surveillance
>GET OFF MY TV SHITLERY
>>70587798
>>70587817
SAMARITAN WINS AGAIN.
>>70577867
That's show is still on?
Does a show still make a sound if no one is there to hear it?
>>70587883
6 mil viewers average for the season seem to hear it just fine
>>70587883
Ask the writers of Supergirl.
THE MACHINE PROVIDES
I miss regular numbers.
Machine busting out all the assets on this one
>Dat spinoff bait
>Ice 9
Really? Fucking really?
What the fuck did Finch do to that guy?
>He likes the Root voice
Fuck.
>>70585590
Nova Scotia/Newfoundland. They're one time zone ahead of the East Coast.
>threatening a child
spooky Harlod
>Finch blackmailing the shit out of this guy
THAT'S WHAT THIS WHOLE EPISODE SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
I don't like any of these people.
>not getting crazy chink for an asses
Machine please
>3 episodes left
>waste an episode on a backdoor pilot
>>70588041
And that was...a lackluster preview.
>>70588244
That spinoff would be garbage; there'd be no Machine backstory to satisfy the sci-fi portion of this show that kept it from being just another rambling procedural.
>>70588128
What? I liked that Cat's Cradle Easter egg.
>All this time wasted on filler.
>>70588344
JUST AS CBS WILLS.
>>70588414Bottom right
![eeApjJm[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/9v9VlpK.jpg "eeApjJm[1].jpg")
Why does hearing the Machine speak in Roots voice make me so sad? Is it because I'll never see Amy Ackers ageless beauty on this show again?
Yeah thats probably it.
>>70588414
>>70588445
Oh, what the fuck. Nice catch. I knew I should have been paying more attention to that.
>>70588450
Well, nowthey brought back her husband to the show (for at least this episode).
>>70588414
Is that from this episode or not?
>>70588450
Well, there's always the idea that it's using a dead woman's voice as a way to subtly and gradually manipulate it's shellshocked creator.
But no, it's probably the waifuism.
>>70588537
Yes,Reese was the Irrelevant number for this episode.
>>70588414
>>70588445
wait what
I just want the last episode to be Reese and Finch, like old times.
>>70588557
I refuse to believe the Machine has an ulterior motive. I think it really did love Root, and took her voice out of respect.
I'd be pretty disappointed if the series ended with it turning out the Machine really was just as bad as Samaritan all along.
Hey, I've never seen this show but I met the people on it. Me and my friends pissed off the guy in OP by asking him about batman when he was trying to eat his noodles and we annoyed the Jesus guy cause we wouldn't give him the wifi password
Little bit of trivia, Amy Acker was hiding in the backseat during this scene.
>>70588660
>Wanting Root to always be right
>Wanting Finch to be wrong
Waifu worshiping fans ruin every show..
>>70588660
the finale will be that Samaritan was the good one and the Machine the bad one and Finch fucked everyone in the long run
Calling it now.
Harold is going to bite the bullet while unleashing Ice 9 and the Machine being allowed to reach its full potential.
>>70588674
>Finch I need the wifi password to verify my Twitter account
>>70588766
It has nothing to do with waifuism, I want Finch to be wrong because I want this show to have something approaching a happy ending for him. How fucked up would it be if all along, after all he taught it about morality and how humans matter, his child ended up being just as bad as Samaritan? That he was right all along and that what he created would doom mankind?
Don't want all of his hard work to be for nothing. Fucker deserves a happy ending.
>>70588660
Well, I didn't mean to imply the Machine was necessarily as bad as Samaritan. Just that it was ultimately manipulating Harold for humanity's sake. That conversation about Swartz goes both ways now.
But if it makes you feel better, you can blame it on whatever Root programmed into the Machine episodes ago.
>>70588751
I knew I wasn't seeing things!
>>70588846
Or maybeIce 9 was already compromised. The virus is actually a portion of the Machine that's going to fuse with Samaritan in order to gain it's full capabilities.
>>70588933
Fucking lol, he's just Reese IRL.
>>70588846
I bet Ice 9 will allow the Machine and Samaritan to merge into one giant AI like the new season's intro alludes to.
>Episode wasn't all about Finch blackmailing people
>Instead, we get a backdoor pilot with Team Machine wannabes featuring a faceless president.
Shouldn't have been a filler episode.
>>70586794
light blue actually
dark blue is for the assets that care of the relevant threats, like shaw when she first appeared
>>70588751
I don't get it.
I look forward to everyone else dying and Fusco being forced to run the tencho-autocracy.
>>70588942
>Finch being fatally wrong about the Machine's moral capacity is a happy ending
What?
>>70589064
There's nothing to get, A-Cup Amy mentioned a couple days ago that she was delivering her dialogue lying in the backseat. Maybe it makes it easier for Finch's actor if he's actually... Acting with somebody, I don't know.
>>70589137
Finch still believes the Machine is dangerous even now, he's still hesitant to let it off its chain. Despite the years of teaching it to value human life, he still doesn't trust it. Him being wrong about it, and the Machine actually being benevolent sounds like a happy ending to me.
>>70589101
I didn't think the entire team would die, but now that they've established there's an alternate irrelevant-number team out there to carry the torch, I think it's a possibility.
Base on the cast list for the next episode:Four previous characters from the show's history will be appearing.
>>70589430
Is Zoe one of them? And what about that comedy relief Asian that was a repeat number a while back?
>>70589491Going by the press release, no and no.
>>70589491
They'd both be cool, but personally I really want Control to return.
I don't remember, did the guy that originally made Samaritan die? For a second I thought I saw Arty on the streets of DC.
>>70589624
Yes.
>>70588445
I don't get it
>>70588445
Bottom right "Enlist secondary assets 87.65%"
>>70588445
What's the deal with AUX_ADMIN here?
>>70589592
Control was fucking awesome. Perfect Amanda Waller character.
>Pierce
who the hell was he
>>70590253
http://personofinterest.wikia.com/wiki/Logan_Pierce
>>70589930
Looks like that may have been various possibilities connected to Root. It's mentioned in the "Hospitalization" section of this article:
http://personofinterest.wikia.com/wiki/Root
>>70590378
AUX_ADMIN has always been the identifier for Nathan Ingram, who was supposedly killed after the Machine got shipped to the gubbament
>>70590481
True, but I do think the instance in that picture was related to Root. Notice the reference to Ronald Carmichael, the psychiatrist who was treating her at the hospital in Season 3.
So The Machine just get itself assets?
>ending will be disappointing because they have to leave stuff for the shitty spinoff they foreshadowed in today's episode
>>70590590
Wouldn't it have referred to her as AUX_ADMIN elsewhere then? Like Finch's ADMIN tag, Ingram's AUX_ADMIN tag was always there, so long as he isn't a threat.
An anon some threads ago suggested that Ingram is still alive, and may be connected to Decima somehow.
>>70591078
According to the wiki page I linked, it was an analysis of various outcomes of the Machine helping her escape from the hospital. So it wasn't referring to Root as an Aux Admin, but evaluating the probability of her becoming an Aux Admin.

Clinical depression in human form
>>70591062
Han, the show's cancelled, who would greenlight the spin-off?
>>70591062
CBS doesn't give a shit about the show why would they try and launch a spin-off
>>70591534
>>70591662
Warner Brothers, who produced the show, could theoretically shop around a spinoff. It won't happen, but theoretically it could.
That's why CBS didn't pick it up for more episodes - because WB produced it, not CBS, so CBS didn't benefit as much financially as they do from their own shows.
Will it be a hit?
>>70591838
>they move it to CW
>we get Flash, Arrow and Supergirl in PoI
>>70591907
Naaaah. No mystery.
>tfw episode wasn't great enough for 2 bump limit threads
At least we got half of one ;_;
>>70592419
haven't watched yet saving myself
>>70592419
Sorry, anon. The ep just wasn't hype enough.Setting up a spinoff that will never be/some pretty lackluster replacements for the crew we've known for the past few seasons didn't help much.
>Finch is going to use FOXDIE to kill the Patriot system
>>70591463
Her safe place.
>>70591078
I always suspected Ingram of being alive. That kind of faded away with the ferry explosion, but Harold "died" that day, too.
It would be too cheap I think. His death was a catalyst and moved Finch to where he is now.
>I watched her die 12,483 times in the seconds before she expired. I couldn't save her but I kept trying. You can't conceive of my grief because you can't experience it like I do... but its there.
;_;
HOLY SHIT
Harold Ben Linus'ing that poor guy at the end.
Also, I'm pretty happy to see some of those past numbers being recruited. I thought for sure that was what was going to happen last season when TM was reaching out to people like Harper.
>>70592419
It jsut finished here in west coast, hopefully some more folks come in like I jsut did
>>70593105
>implying machines have feelings
>falling for the obvious emotional manipulation
>>70591463
Seeing that and then her declaring she wanted the simulation to end really got to me ;_;
Also, who is taking care of Bear?
>>70593342
Where the fuck has Bear been this season.
>>70593482
ducking out in the underground
>>70593482
I kind of wished that Finch would have went back and took Bear with him on his Roadtrip to Revenge, but yeah...none of the Team has gone back to the subway since before Root's death.
>>70593546
Machine probably diverted a truckload of dog food to the subway.
>>70591907
Not gonna lie, I'd watch it since I love Jimmy Simpson and Harper is qt af.
Also, holy shit the middle guy is Amy's rl husband.
>>70593700
Root Machine would so do that. Ok I can sleep easy tonight then.
>>70591949
>Felicity is shoe-horned into PoI universe as the best hacker
pls no.
it would only work if the Machine has her number up and the team has to take her down for killing thousands of innocent people with nukes.
>>70591907
I don't remember who was the black girl.
>>70594067
She was the thief chick from last season
>>70594067
Harper, she was a thief/con woman who worked at the medicinal marijuana place, remember? She also starred in the episode with Katheryn Winnick's character, double-crossing Dominic due to The Machine texting Harper to help
>>70594176
4x16 and 4x18
>>70594176
>>70594152
Oh yes, I forgot this episode.
So not much discussion for tonight's ep? Welp, hopefully the penultimate and the series finale will garner more active threads.
>>70594899
I haven't even seen it yet.
I don't want it to end
>>70594953
Ah no worries, it's nearly time for EU to wake up yeah?
But yeah, shame it took a last season to get some decent PoI threads on here. It really did suffer from viewers looking at it at first glance and thinking it was the usual CBS schlock.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbbjYyXGxJ0
>>70595039
That episode was so fucking uncomfortable to watch.
>>70595079
Yeah, same here. I loved this bit of detail though, my friend had no idea what was going on when I asked them if they could hear it too. They're 27 so maybe it doesn't work for some folks.
Also, fuck two eps left and no sign of Control. Samaritan really did get rid of her didn't they?
>>70594899
nolan did say eps 4,10,12,13 were his favorite so fingers crossed
>>70591907
"IRRELEVANT"
>>70595150
yeah tonight was definitely filler, though did have some good scenes with Finch and TM Root.
And seeing Shaw's form of grief and resolve to do what she knew Root would do : keep fighting.
>>70595136
Well, I'm 27 and I hear it alright, but then again I've been taking pretty much excellent care of my hearing.
Fuck, bros, why did she have to die?
>>70595224
>fanart of this
totally thought of her as a knight during that scene. love it. even that photog probably got a bit wet due to Root
I seriously love Amy getting roles as a badass.
I gotta say as cute as Fred was, I couldn't stand how weak she was. Was surprised as hell that Amy could portray Ilyria so well.
Then afterwards, a traitorous spy on Alias, Whiskey on Dollhouse, and now Root ;_;
she's become one of my favorite genre actresses up there with Gillian Anderson
>>70595469
;_;
>>70595469
I want Root to come back in the last ep and say she faked her death.
>>70595661
I don't care man, I'm totally believing this is what is going to happen. I think Root is taking the opportunity to not be on Samaritan's radar and will end up helping her friends in the end.
She and The Machine are working together on this.
>mfw i'm probably setting myself up like I did with Laurel's death on Arrow
>Root's message in the first episode was actually the machine
Well fuck it, bad/inconclusive ending confirmed
>>70595830
working title for the final episode 'everyone dies alone'
If Shaw survives, she could steal some simulation equipment from Samaritan to interact with TM Root or if Shaw dies, their TM versions could reunite within the Machine (if the Machine survives).
>>70596174
That still would be pointless.
>>70596174
>Shaw sticks herself in perpetual simulation to be with Root
Jesus Christ the feels
>>70596228
>>70596174
;_; oh man i would not be able to handle that, but i could see it happening.
>>70596216
From Root's perspective, the Machine is currently the only possibility in human history that allows for some form immortality or an afterlife. It's not perfect, but it beats being a tiny blip in chaos of infinity and then being gone forever.
>>70596228
Or only when she wants to have a more (simulated) physical interaction with TM Root, the rest of the time Shaw would communicate with TM Root through an earpiece.
>>70596523
>afterlife
Is it afterlife if it's emulation?
>>70596583
Root was an atheist before she knew that the Machine existed, to her, it's the only possible afterlife that can and has ever existed. It doesn't matter to her if it's an emulation, Root's conversation with Finch in the car (that the Machine knows them better than they know themselves) in 5x10 seems to support that.
This episode was trying to establish a PoI: DC pilot.
>No Zoe for the fanservice
>No Leon for the comedy
>No Caleb for the closest thing to a Finch character
>not even hinting that the Team Machine wannabes know of the machine, just the Thornhill persona.
>>70596890
man i dunno how i'd feel if this was CBS's way of having control of a PoI spin off...
>>70596890
>>not even hinting that the Team Machine wannabes know of the machine, just the Thornhill persona.
They know about the Machine. Reese mentioned it to them and they all have yellow boxes.
>>70596890
>>not even hinting that the Team Machine wannabes know of the machine, just the Thornhill persona.
they had yellow boxes though
>>70597052
>>70597011
>>70596984
Aww shit, my bad, they do know of the Machine.

You don't need a /general/ if there aren't multiples of the same thread you stupid fucking mongoloid fuck off
If Samaritan rules unopposed humanity is fucked 100%, so unlocking the machine's true potential still yields a 50/50 chance humanity won't be fucked.
I'm loving Finch like this
Also PoI captured the highbrow condescension of DC so well. Kudos.

>tfw I only started watching PoI because of the extra minute of slack I recorded on my DVR at the beginning of Elementary
I've watched S1 and S2 recently because it got a syndication run a few months ago that my DVR caught. But only every other episode, because it's paced at 2 per weekend and the station is only showing one of those nights.
>mfw "farewell cocoa puffs"
Is Control going to appear at all?
I know it's implied she was killed off screen, but still...
>>70599814
i hope not. theres no reason samaritan would keep a threat alive.
We are 2 episodes away from the finale and the progress in the Samaritan battle has been only freeing the Machine. I have no ideas on how it could possibly end, which is great.
>>70599814
control was shit, deal with it nerd
Honestly this episode felt out of place with only 3 episodes to go. Still no confrontation between Samaritan and the Machine, still no confrontation between Finch and Greer.
>>70600717
I agree, they have to resolve a lot of conflicts and close give an ending in only 2 episodes.
>>70600826
>only 2 episodes

>Leon Tao
It's kind of weird but his character only appeared in four episodes in season two.
I love this show because even four years later minor characters like Leon are still so memorable.
Punish Finch turned out to be fairly underwhelming.
