Fuck CBS for cancelling this.
>the big bong theory still running
Did they at least finish it properly?
>>71564612
They rushed it because CBS gave them 13 episodes to work with instead of the usual 22. I feel like they could bring it back on a different network considering the deaths of a few characters weren't really shown on screen, but I doubt that they will.
I'm really torn on the finale.
>>71564498
thank god!
>>71564612
it was a damn fine finale, honestly. lots of feels, but the season was rushed so some characters/storylines were kinda forgotten.
that and i'm still not overRoot
webm is spoiler from finale
>>71564911
you should probably delete this
>>71564498
Why? They show should've ended instead of going on forever and turning into crap.
And, to be perfectly honest, it was starting to worsen since the start of season 4.
Besides, how could they top Samaritan after going on for ~3 seasons. It was time to end it anyway.
>>71564911
i don't care, this lead up to a fucking heartbreaking scene.

Fuck you guys for posting this. I didn't even know the Season Finale was on the 21st, I started watching on the 14th and binge watched it. The pain is still fresh.
>>71564993
The writers said they had a lot of ideas that they still wanted to run with but CBS was cancelling it so they had to rush a series finale and kill the show. It was not what the show deserved.
>>71564498
You can tell they didnt have much time to make season 5 the final one. It felt so rushed.
Mediocre as fuck with some interesting parts but overall shit. I wish I could watch shows that make use of technology like the nightmare of some paranoid soccer mom but I can't.
>>71565328
I know. Really brings in the feels. Hopefully they make a spin-off or something considering they left it open.
>>71565328
>No mention of Control's fate
>No follow up to Root's plan regarding that missile base in Dvina
;_;
The man was a hero.
>>71567199
Honestly, I wouldn't care if they found a new network and pretty much overwrote half of season 5 so they can keep going. They said they had many more ideas to go with but couldn't because of CBS. Fucking hell.
>>71567199
my god this finale was amazing. this scene, the ending, and the one with finch and the machine conversing made me fucking tear up. any webms of that scene?
>>71564728
Eh. Giving them more would have just dragged out the Samaritan plotline even longer. Whole thing started to feel like Namek.
>>71567436
I don't know I thought they said they had ideas other than Samaritan. I mean at this point I love the characters the most and I would like to see them in this universe more than anything.
>>71564498
Fuck CBS, but even with the shorter season they atleast wrapped it up well. The finale was really fucking satisfying
post webms
>>71567741
I don't know I just finished it and all I feel is emptiness because of it. It seems surreal that it's over and I just started watching on the 14th.
>>71564911
The way the characters handle weapons in this show is cringe-worthy. Reese and Shaw are supposed to be these badass operators and they have zero trigger discipline or know how to shoot a weapon.
>>71564498
I think the show had a good run but they really did all the plots they could have done imo. It's one of the few shows that got better with later seasons. It was pretty standard monster-of-the-week stuff at the beginning had some good plots later on. I also like that the writers didn't mind killing off characters regularly,
Fuck them for making it all about Root in the end. It's suppose to be about Reese and Finch not their damn waifu.
>>71568773
I guess it's just that end of series feeling that you get when you don't want to say goodbye. Out of all the shows I've watched, including Breaking Bad, I'd say this one has been the worst. It was just so good.
>>71568848
Yeah but personally I really liked Root's character development. I felt like a part of me knew that she would die eventually but damn, she really was my favorite.
>>71568773
>It was pretty standard monster-of-the-week stuff at the beginning
It was, but it was somehow better back then. They still dealt with sci-fi aspects, but through a more grounded feel that was very engaging.
Plus the flashbacks were on fucking point. Felt real.
After that it just became flashy visuals, quips and lesbian waifu teasing.
>>71568773
It was monster of the week at the end too, it's just that instead of interesting independent monsters it was "bullshit backed by Samaritan".
>>71568901
This. I enjoyed her character's story as it progressed.
Fuck I just saw her first episode again the other day, man, to think I thought she was just going to do her usual guest star role.
I love Amy.
The finale was OK. They managed to have a hundred episodes without the show becoming shit. Would watch again in a few years.
Great series. The way it started out as a standard CBS procedural and then turned into something much much more complex.
Every season was better than the one before, until the last that is. The reduced number of episodes definitely hurt as it felt so rushed at times. I'm not saying there weren't some good moments and a few good episodes but it wasn't upto the shows usual standards.
Was I the only one who also felt that the actor playing Reese was just going through the motions towards the end? "Oh I'll just stand her emotionless and fire a gun for the countless time"
Root and Shaw were fantastic this season though.
>>71569029
I know, I thought that she wasn't going to be significant. Why did she have to die of all characters? Even if they decide to do a spinoff, I'm fine with no Reese but Root was just so great.
I doubt they would go as far as faking her death for some reason like to send Harold over the edge, but as shitty as that is, I'd accept it just to have her back in a spinoff.
>>71569510
if they did a spin off, i'm not sure if i'd be okay with just Root Machine. Sure they could do the physical representation thing with the actors not seeing/interacting with her, but it wouldn;t be the same to me.
>>71569152
Reese had some good moments but honestly, it's just the way his character is. Hell even Jim in interviews seem the same way.
I did love that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory reference though from the penultimate ep.
>>71569629
No, I meant like actual root. I doubt they could convincingly fake her death considering the circumstances but anything is possible. They're doing it in Prison Break.
I probably wouldn't watch a spin-off if there was no root.
>>71568308
I know, I feel the same way. I miss these characters so much already ;_;
>>71569718
oh i get you, also i totally thought she was faking her death too considering we never got any pay off or reference to that plan she had a few episodes back with that dvina missile base.
but man, just reminded me as well, i'm pretty pissed that they had Samaritan agents dig up her corpse.
>>71569761
Like it's crazy. I thought this would just be a villain of the week show so I kind of rushed through the first season. Now after it all, I realize I've liked it more than shows like breaking bad and prison break which were hard to say goodbye to. It just doesn't feel like it should be over.
>>71569809
I feel that it's still possible to get past it all. She faked her death to push Harold over the edge, and they never did get to her corpse. Maybe she tipped them off of their location instead of them getting the cochlear implant? Not sure how they would deal with Fusco seeing a body though.
Would be a challenge, but I would buy it just to have that cast again.
>>71568600
You wrong, Root know where the samaritans agents are without seen
The machine talk to her
>>71569809
Pretty sure the missile thing is just something the show planned on doing, but ran out of time to make it happen, and never got around to cutting that scene or something.
![person-of-interest-root-dies-amy-acker[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/BxO6xFL.jpg "person-of-interest-root-dies-amy-acker[1].jpg")
>>71569908
Person of Interest is my favorite show, easily. It might be the only show I've ever seen where I loved all of the characters. There wasn't a single "Scrappy-Doo" type character in this, they were all lovable as fuck.
Also this show had excellent eye candy
>>71569908
as silly as it sounds, i would just gladly accept any explanation they'd have to bring her back to life.
also, it wasn't evne Root's death that pushed Harold in the interrogation room, he ha dno idea what her fate was but he for sure knew he lost Elias.
But yeah, fuck, I miss all these characters so much now.
>>71569951
bah yeah i have a bad feeling that was the case too...it just seemed so interesting especially since there was a "phase two" for her plan.
Would have fucking loved for the Machine to use the shelved AI projects to raise a cyber Elias/Reese and even an Carter
>>71570017
Yeah, they were pretty qt, but their characters were also so interesting.
>>71570096
I liked Elias too as a character. Literally as soon as he died I thought "19 minutes in and this happens? This is going to be a big episode" I didn't think it would be as sad as Root dying. Also, when Harold picked up the phone and heard Root my heart skipped a beat. As soon as the machine said "No" I almost closed the episode out.
i gotta say i was just happy seeign PoI threads on here leading up to the finale.
>>71570207
that phonecall fucking got to me. and the callback to when Root heard from the Machine for the first time too.
So good.
>>71570207
Dont get me wrong, i aint saying they were only good because of eyecandy, just that having Amy Acker on a show definitely helps. In addition to her being a great actor playing a fascinating character.
>>71570226
PoI threads that regularly hit the bump limit too, for the last few episodes. It was beautiful
>>71570106
>>71570226
I don't think the graphics design for this show gets enough praise. Everything was so well done and made it so clean each concept / AI / person hitbox color etc it was trying to depict.

>>71570334

way to go, anon.
>>71570226
I wish I could have been apart of the threads over the years. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that if this show was not backed by CBS, and was not played on Tuesdays at 10PM, it would have blown up.
I bet years down the line on Netflix or something people are going to watch it and wonder why it got cancelled.
>>71570269
Yup. I went through all of the big scenes again after I finished and it feels like a lifetime ago.
>>71570313
>>71570317
Really everything about it was good. The only problem in my opinion was CBS.

Her death was actually pretty shitty too. Some random painter moron snipes from a roof, and you don't even see where she gets shot? For all we know she could have been shot in the fucking elbow. Then she just dies.
>>71570714
kek, every time. was waiting for this to get posted
>>71570676
There was a time where I actually sympathized with him thinking he was going to turn his back on Samaritan and help the gang, but yeah, fuck him.

>>71570719
Ugh don't remind me... offscreen death for the character driving most of the stories of the show. What a shitty ending.
>>71570719
that's exactly what made me think she was faking her death, for scenes like that they usually show a close up shot of her gunshot wound in the car.
fuck.

You never know guys. If they see the support that people have for the show (which probably won't happen unfortunately considering the audience isn't that big) they could realize the potential the show still had and revive it. Crazier things have happened.
Though I feel it is best to not hope for something like this and be disappointed later.
Rest in peace Root.
>>71570985
yeah on one hand, i'm kinda okay with how it ends, but on the other i'm sure as fuck on board with some kind of revival elsewhere. but only if it also involves a lot of the same actors.
I loved this show. So underappreciated. Season 3 and the first half of Season 4 remain GOAT.
Also Root was one of the best, most fascinating and complex female characters to be depicted in a telly show.
>>71570954
Fuck, that scene made my eyes so sweaty. I wish there was a Root Machine looking after me irl
>>71571016
Yeah. I don't think a spin-off with Shaw, Bear, and Fusco would be all that interesting. Fusco and Root were good together because Fusco would just make fun of her. Shaw and Root, well that's kind of obvious. With Harold in Italy and John (presumably) dead, it would feel like there's a large void.
I think they'd have to bring some of the characters back for it to work, which is definitely possible.
>>71571021
they play blocks of episodes on i think true tv or itv or something and it's been great watching the development of her characte again.
>>71571082
Amy Acker deserves an Emmy and top quality show.
>Super smart
>Good sense of humor
>Fun loving
>Haxxer skills
>Hot as fuck
>Probably super kinky in bed
Is Root the best waifu of all times?
>>71571108
she is legit one of my most favorite genre actors. she wow'd me on Angel when she switched from Fred to Ilyrria, I honestly wasn;t sure she'd be able to pull that off.
And then thinking her as a badass was just going to be a one-time thing, she was excellent on the final season of Alias (basically she was my only saving grace on that shit show at the end) and now her role as Root.
>>71570985
I love this show more than Ive ever loved any other show, but I don't want a spin-off. For me it ended perfectly, and as much as I love Shaw and Fusco, I'd rather go on imagining what adventures they got up to myself, instead of seeing it in a poorly thought out spin off that would tarnish the shows legacy.
It had 5 amazing seasons, let it rest. And in 10 years it'll probably become a huge cult hit.

>>71571211
I just feel like so much potential was wasted. Root, basically the entire series, worshipped their ASI and dedicated 2 seasons to tracking down Samaritan and destroying it. Right before it dies, she dies. Also right after her and Shaw are reuinted, she's just gone.
Just feels like a waste.

She deserves a lot more recognition than she gets, she's a suberb actress. But that's what she ges for (mostly) sticking to being a genre tv actor. She made her bed.

I see it as a waste, but I get where you're coming from. Hell I would even love a prequel with just Root. That would be awesome. That's the show she deserves.
>>71571303
I dunno how I could have forgotten but man she was excellent on Dollhouse too. Of course she was the original "Echo" and was so much better than Eliza Shitku.
On top of everything else, this show also had an excellent score, that nobody ever talks about.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ksgw79s5vE0
its almost comical how severely fucking underrated this show is

So, nothing came to fruition from the spinoff bait episode?
>>71572432
Harper Rose is hnnggg and I love Jimmi Simpson. I just dunno if I'd be okay with Amy's irl husband getting a job over her.
>>71564498
The ratings collapsed once they introduced the lesbo garbage and having them both be magical female warriors. Serves them right. Finale was one of the most disappointing and anti-climactic ever.
>>71572505
Agreed with the finale part. I didn't mind them being lesbians, but hated how in your face the flirting was.
I'm surprised how delusional the fans in this thread are.
>>71572432
I think a spinoff featuring those characters would be really boring.
>>71572505
More like having a shitty time slot due to being backed by the shit network that is CBS. Imagine if it was picked up by Netflix instead. This show would still be running.

That's not really true for Root in the last couple seasons though, she was pretty well reformed by then, she regretted what an evil shit she used to be.

Chaotic Evil if anything, since she wants The Machine to be free and fights against Samaritan controlling people

>>71573632
She definitely did, just because she was willing to sacrifice somebody else to save Harold doesn't make her evil, especially given the stakes at that point, she or the Machine couldn't afford to lose him.
Plus, there was that whole episode where the Machine made her protect some dude who's life she ruined in the past. If any episode proved she changed, it was that one.
>>71573351
>you're kind of ruining the big guy's plan if you bleed out up here

she briefly seemed mildly rattled the guy shes protecting survived a MASS SHOOTING she arranged and the alternate reality scene that showed her working for Samaritan shows she really would just do whatever the first AI she learned of told her to do despite the moral implications one way or another
she deserved to die tbqh
>>71574291
so good.
man, i didn't think Emersen could portray a role that I'd love more than Ben Linus, but I think Finch even tops him.
>>71574291
That's actually terrifying. The poor machine.
>>71574315
but that's the point, it was Harold and the Machine that really affected her character. Yes she;s still willing to do extreme things, but now she's learned to care about thsoe close to her. It made her appreciate what she has and what she has to fight for.
With Samaritan, it only reinforced her skills as a cold blooded hitwoman.
>>71564498
it was time desu but I like how they did leave it open to it could continue if they had another story to tell.

I'd like to think in the alt reality, that Root and Martine would hook up.
>>71574489
I think that it will get picked up by a good network and continue on. I just hope they don't fuck it up if they do. Unfortunately, that won't be coming for a while so, I guess I'll wait for Mr Robot.
>>71574544
Yeah but you've got to admit, watching her getting her neck snapped was satisfying.
>>71574880
oh indeed, the moment she threatened Harold in front of Root that was it for her.
>Not even a peep
based Root
>>71574976
>she surrenders right after like a badass
>>71575199
Root best girl ;_;7
>>71575292
Yup. She wasn't even pregnant or anything. They just killed her off in some shitty way for no reason other than to tip Harold over, which could have been done by just Elias dying.
Literally why do they do this and instead put us on a feels trip?
>>71575318
because we can't get nice things. ever.

I'm not giving up hope of atleast a spinoff just yet. The chances of Root being in the spinoff are slim to none, but a man can hope.
>>71575434
I'll hold onto hope and not give up.
spoiler for finale
>>71575464
You gotta post this kinda shit man? I'm trying to get over this damn show and this thread is full of sad pictures.
>>71575318
Some things are too perfect to live, anon...

I'm hurting here, bro. I'm taking everyone down with me

There is a reason why Batman is more popular than Wonder woman
>>71575566
Did you just finish the show too? I started june 14 and binge watched it until yesterday. Didn't even know the season finale was not long ago. The hurt is real.
>>71575703
Batman's DC's only cool character?
>>71575795
Been with it since S1, but I'm still not over the finale. Fucking CBS
So when are we going to wake up from this simulation and realise the show is still on?
>>71575928
God it's crazy. Out of every show I've watched, this one has hurt the worst so far. It's crazy how attached you can get to characters, and when they're gone you just feel so empty. It sucks.
I'm just glad there's some anons here feeling the same way ;_;
>>71576348
The writing on the show is pretty stellar and they did a great job on making very memorable characters that you care about.
I'm gonna check out Westworld that Nolan wrote and is now focusing on...but damn I'm gonna miss all these actors/characters together.
This if the first fucking time in my entire life that I felt this way about a show.
I feel so attached to the characters. The only thing bad about this show is the action scenes.
>>71576405
Idk man. Why would they make such an open ended series finale on a show that has so much potential if they weren't going to do anything with it? I feel like it will happen, just not the way I want it with root back though.
Requesting a "DO IT FOR HER" edit with Root
>>71576560
this needs to be done
>>71576534
It sucks man. It's gonna take weeks until it's just a dull pain when you think of the show.
>>71576560
>>71576618
?
I'm glad they canned it.
Literally Fringe-tier.
In fact it was exactly as Fringe
Both:
Season 1 = Unique as fuck and has the perfect tone
Season 2 onwards = waste every resource on some stupid plot line that takes up seasons for no reason
Last season = Oh shit, we only have 10 episodes or so, let's make it good and leave it at that.
Both series turned schlock real fast.
Season 1 was GOD-tier and I occasionally rewatch it.
>>71576659
like this anon
>>71576747
Last season was short because CBS is fucking trash. I thought season 3 onwards was the best because Root.
>>71576761
Yes pls. This will convince Jonathan Nolan to bring them back.
>>71576659
I haven't finished even finished it yet. Just watched 6,714 last night.
I was unfortunately already spoiled about the death of Root and I have to share my pain with other people so I am participating in this thread.
;_;
For you, my fellow Rootbros.
>>71577186
6,741 was so sad.
Just wait until their actual reunion. It's really nice. The pain does not subside by the way. All you can do is hope that she faked it :(
>>71577186
>that number
fuck me, i wasn't ready for that reveal
>>71577207
SAVED ty you kind anon
>>71577207
The mad man actually did it.
Fuck man, it's not even that she's hot, her character was just so good.
Why can't someone from CBS just look at this ;_;

Holy shit I didn't even notice the text in the bottom left before. That's absolutely amazing. CBS cancelled this??
>>71577303
The best part is the Morse code does actually translate exactly as she said it does (telling her the guy has a bum knee)
>>71577362
that's the best part, it wasn't transcribed this is a fan vid doing it. the level of detail this show goes for is amazing
>>71577376
will we ever get a show this good again? ;_;
Should I start watching this?
Unrelated but I found The Americans really interesting
>>71577464
Americans is amazing.
And so is this show, go for it anon, but be warned first season it starts off typical procedural then the writers are like fuck it, we got a damn good story to tell. stick with it, it's worth it.
>>71577464
Yes. This show is absolutely phenomenal and it will take you on a huge feels trip in season 5. It's really good though.
What are you anons doing to try to fill the void? I'm attempting to watch House of Cards but it's so hard to watch anything else now.
>>71577464
First two seasons are pretty slow, but once Best Girl gets introduced and becomes a regular character at the end of the second season it becomes a lot more serialized and high-stakes and crazy as shit
The problem is sitting through the first two seasons, which is why you should follow this picture >>71577303
>>71577493
Yeah but there's still a lot of relationship building like with Fusco and Reese and Carter and Reese. So it's not that bad.
>>71577504
I'm into Preacher since I'm a fan of the comics and enjoying the actors involved a whole lot.
In terms of sci-fi though, just patiently waiting for more of The Expanse ;_;

>When you discover a new show you might really like, that is already 5 seasons in, 103 episodes released, and each episode is ~45 minutes long
>>71577532
Oh I agree, totally, just meant that as a warning in case procedurals may be a turn off for that anon.
>>71577524
Whoops meant to say follow this picture >>71577207
>>71577555
Nice trips man.
Be warned though, it will go by in the blink of an eye. I was watching like 6 - 8 episodes a day and I didn't think I was that hooked until it ended. Then I realized that it's all over.
>I just couldn't bear it if someone hurt you...I mean, besides me

I want Root to hurt me so bad ;___;
>>71578079
"He's pretty hot. I mean, not hood and zip-ties in a CIA safe house with 10 hours to kill hot, but you know what I mean." Holy shit.
So the evil corporate guys build their own AI to rule the world.
did the evil AI ever turn on the evil old white capitalists?
what was the evil AI's end game?
how did the kill the evil ai?
What happened to The Machine?
did the evil old white man get his comeuppance?

anon...
>>71578201
<<<<<SPOILERS>>>>>
Not really to rule the world, they just want an AI to worship and to bring order to the world.
Wat.
Nobody knows really. It started doing weird shit like creating outbreaks to get everyone's DNA in to a database. Its goals were unpredictable.
They uploaded a virus that killed The Machine and Samaritan (their AI), and in a last ditch effort it was going to upload itself to a satellite. They got the virus on it before it could do this but it had programmed a cruise missile to hit whoever was doing it.
The Machine ended up duplicating itself in the end, so it still exists, but nobody will do anything with it. They left it open for a potential spinoff.
Wat.
I encourage you to watch this show, it was fantastic.
>>71578240
I've seen a few episodes of every season. I'm just interested enough to get the meat of the ending, but not interested enough to watch it.
![latest[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/SJwWSrc.jpg "latest[1].jpg")
>>71578279
this guy and his cronies that built Samaritan.
Did they get justice, did Samaritan turn on them, or did they get away with it?
>>71577236
>>71577261
I was so hyped for the episode cause I knew it was therootshaw reunion.And that there was gonna be ashoot sex scene.
Throughout the episode you also feel that Reese and Harold seems to be out of character , and then THAT REVEAL. I actually thought that there was gonna be a "IS SHAW ACTUALLY SAMARITAN AGENT???" subplot.
>>71578338
They didn't build it. They stole a harddrive that was presumably destroyed with Samaritan on it.
Greer (that guy)'s death was really bad IMO. He kind of jsut killed himself to attempt to kill the creator of the machine. Greer deserved a better death.
Samaritan never turned on them. They worked together well. The main characters got justice, but it was very bittersweet. Not going to lie, I was very close to tears.
>>71578401
That scene was pretty steamy anon.
After Shaw shot herself I believed it until I saw the reflections. I was in complete awe. Shaw/Root are too perfect for the world ;_;
>>71578079
>>71578113
>>71578229
>tfw Shaw will never end you
>>71578522
So you actually believed thatReese was dead? I was thinking that they knew all along that there was still a microchip in Shaw's mind and that Reese had a bulletproof vest or something. But I also thought that he could also really be dead until that moment when Shaw killed herself and before the reveal. It was just too unbelievable that they'd kill two main characters in just one episode.
It was both believable and unbelievable at the same time. I didn't know what to believe.
>>71578640
I thought that it was fake at first then I thought maybe he didn't get a life threatening injury.
>2 main characters
Elias and Root???
kinda wish we got more than 9 episodes in the last season

I am the anon who haven't finished the series yet. I was the one who just watched 6,714 last night. You just spoiled two things for me. =(One, Elias is alive. Two, he will die with Root.
I am outta this thread. I'll be back after I finish it.
>>71578724

>amy acker will never lick your face
>>71573457
The machine didn't just tell her to stop killing. She taught Root the value of human life.
>>71579063
What is this from holy shit?
That must have been VERY uncomfortable for her to film.

I honestly want Shaw to torture me while she looks at me with a bored expression because it means nothing to her
Why was the show cancelled? Ratings? overbudget? Something better came up?
>>71580028
cbs didnt own the show and only broke even on season 4.
>>71580028
Because CBS was butthurt that they didn't own the show so they didn't get a lot of money. That's kind of to be expected considering that the show was broadcasted on a Tuesday at 10PM, yet still did as well as it did.
RIP.
>>71580056
>>71580086
Who owned it? Was it part of the original agreement when they picked it up that they wouldn't own the show?
>>71580184
Warner Brothers.
Probably, I'm not sure though. I definitely will not be watching any shows on CBS anymore.
CBS and Warner Bros. are both owned by Time Warner and they cannot agree on a contract that makes both happy and are acting like rivals for some reason?
It's retarded.
>>71580281
This is the full story? That's ridiculous. They cancel a fan favorite show because of their little feud. Ridiculous.
Well this has been a good thread everybody.

Also prepare for season 5, it's an emotional roller coaster.
Just watched "If-Then-Else" for the first time, holy shit, what an episode. It was like that one Community episode

michael emerson was the other winner on that sites poll
>>71569510
>Why did she have to die of all characters?
Because
>She never really redeemed herself
Harold once said that John had the heaviest heart of them all, but he was just following orders from his country, root was murdering people for fun and profit and she never paid for it
>She was The Machine's #1 acolyte
I think she would have been totally against Harold's plan to destroy both machines, and even if she went along with it she wouldn't have left John to protect the upload alone, which brings us to:
>She would have sacrificed herself anyway
I don't think root was being facetious when she called The Machine 'God' or told her that they weren't worth dying for, I think she believed it all and would have purposely given up her life at some point in the mission
>It characterised The Machine more
I think the last few episodes wouldn't have had the same emotional depth if all Harold's conversations with The Machine was based on the beeping audio clips voice, it needed a human voice to do that, and it worked perfectly.

I would've had the machine take different voices depending on who it was talking to.
Nathan's voice would be a good choice for Harold.
Carter's voice for John... or maybe Jessica's.
Shaw's for Root (cause in my ideal season 5 Shaw would've been found dead)
Root's for Shaw (for official season 5)
Don't know who would be appropriate for Fusco...
