That's what I thought until I heard what Samaritan had to say. I don't think she would've been down for all that.

Well I for one welcome our new Samaritan overlord
Please tell me the Machine figured out where Greer is.
The animal suit says it all.
great tweet, or greatest tweet? you decide.
Damn. Really thought that Root was going to kick it there. I thought the kid would slam the pencil through her neck at the end or something (doesn't help that I just got through marathon watching TWD Season 4-5)
Someone will probably die in the next episode - I'm afraid that it could be Shaw. The scene with Bear at the end gave me really bad vibes man.

All of them blasting away behind Root something like 10 feet away, there's *no* way out of that unless they're just not shooting at her?! SOMEONE HELP. I guess they could be helping her destroy something? I dunno @_@
eeesh
Maybe with an episode title "If-Then-Else" maybe that promo is a bunch of simulations of outcomes.
I don't know...

Holy fuck, guys, hooooooooooly fuck. Ohhhhh my God, I can't even type up a proper reaction because of my terror and joy.
Fuck. This episode. Fuck. This preview.
The new year will start with a bang. Samaritan really let the kitty gloves go. Using a boy as avatar was chilling and perfect too. I was surprised when Lambert called Sam "him". I wonder how many more assets Sam has. It probably took already most the experts in every area in it's duty.
I hope they show what the Brotherhood and Elias do during this stormy days. They can't be uneffected by all this chaos and the world finances breaking down would threaten Elias off-shore accounts too, yes?

He isn't new, he was already with Greer in season 3 and in world since a while before Ordos. I know because I watched the ending of RAM a few dozen times and Greer talks with him over the phone, calling it name.
Fucking Real Life is spoilering the next episodes. The Machine prevented the US and most other countries from breaking, but russia was hit hard, which was a secondary target anyways. With an unstable and more dangerous enemy like russia, Samaritan could get even more power and spread to US allies. Their allies. And so on. Until everything is Samaritan.
Person of WHAT THE FUCKThey really should just rename it to "This Fucking Show: The Show"
Great episode. It's a small thing, but Young Greer's actor did such a good job of mimicking Greer's cadence.
The kid scene was pretty meh though. If you're going to try something like that, you need a great kid actor to pull it off.
fuuuuuuuuuuuck @ that preview

Shaw's dumbass is going to get Root killed

I just imagined a scene with Root being somewhere, suddenly hearing "Can" - "You" - "Here" - "Me?" from four directions, revealing four godmode soldiers aiming for her.
edit:
Damnit Lambert, don't look so damn happy.
I'd have the same reaction
All of CBS last night was down, at least.
Such a stupid idea, most shows midseason finales were last week, and these should have been as well. Hell, air the 1st 2 parts of this trilogy before the break (unless the big cliffhanger was what we got last night)

Am I the only one that thinks the scene between Root and the Kid was kind of stupid because the dialogue was written to sound like the AIs were actually talking instead of Root and the Kid relaying the AIs' messages to each other? I would have preferred it to be that way.
Well, we already know that Root can do that perfectly and for the kid... well, we are at least informed that he is not a normal kid, but some kind of genius. He seemed to taken pleasure to what he was supposed to say, so I think he was in alignment with Samaritan.

No, you're not the only one. I was thinking "Are the AIs giving them stage direction too?"
Between the dialog in that scene and the ridiculous amounts of speeches Finch and Root gave throughout the episode rehashing exactly everything they've said before I thought it was actually a pretty terrible episode. Felt like they got a couple rejects from the Syfy channel to write the episode while they gave the regular staff an early week off for the holidays. The only thing good was a little bit of Greer backstory.
He already has the ace inside Samaritan. Remember the virus he gave the woman at the conference?
Yea that's what I meant. Gotta love Finch and his cunning plans.
I don't know if that was a virus, sounded more like a surveillance bug, that would potentially open it up for tampering.
There has to be something going on that they haven't shown. From "We need to talk" and that laptop chip, Finch is on a mission.
Sort of have a feeling that POI he tried to save might be tied into whatever that mission might be. Something seemed off about that to me.
Just rewatched the scene. Finch only asked if the driver installed it. It could be everything from surveillance, over a virus to Internet Explorer.
But very interesting thought with the person he saved this episode. Yes, despite numerous flashbacks and insights in his thoughts, he manages to remain quite the mysterious man, this Harold. Sometimes I wonder if he maybe will be an antagonist, when his views get corrupted. I could not imagine a more terrible foe for Team Machine then a Finch that works against them or on other goals as them.

The root-kid conversation was a really wacky scene. They're still people. Not mind-controlled vessels. And yes, the rehashed dialogue (it especially reminded me of the election episode this season) was tiring too. It really is one of the worst episodes of the show IMO (and maybe even its jump the shark moment),

Is Sarah Shahi pregnant?
It didn't bother me. It was at meeting of the machines using their analogue control. And Root very much lets the machine talk through her. Root and the kid are interpreters; I think it would have been weird to have them relay the messages. It's probably even stranger since we can't hear the machines and it was happening almost simultaneously.

Did Samaritan naturally evolve to be a dick or was it programmed that way? It's possible the kid's interpretation of Samaritan's words came out more dickish than intended. But man, that was some Agent Smith-level dickery. I would have loved to see Root smack the smugness of his face and then the kid just started crying and she'd be like "Oh wait, he's not actually the machine."
Yeah, I don't know how Team Machine is gonna stop Samaritan. My guess is it involves a certain missile launcher.

Greer flashbacks were great. Was he burning his own file? I love that he was basically James Bond before the betrayalthon.

GOD DAMMIT. Kill another one, not Person of Interest. I need them to reach the whole 7 seasons Nolan and Plageman have planned.

So, I'm not quite sure if I liked that kind of hard left turn.
I mean, by all accounts, I should have. But in this show? I dunno.

That kid would have been a good in a flashback to a very young Greer but as the avatar of Samaritan I'm not sure. Didn't we have that episode with the game where Samaritan recruited people to act on its behalf ? This kid wasn't in that one and the girl that got through the tests hasn't been seen since.
