Bingo. I don't trust her for a second. Easiest way for Samaritan to plant a mole in an attempt to locate where they're operating.
I am beginning to think this is a ploy by Samaritan to get the accurate personnel information on John Reese, Harold Finch, Samantha Groves and Sameen Shaw.
Probably also the three hackers they picked up last year.

This would be a good time for Root to show up
Time to bring her back into play.
Control should work in the shadows too but I have a feeling she'll show up later on this season.

It's interesting how they are slowly building up people on the inside questioning or disobeying Samaritan (Claire, Control and Shaws ex coworker who spared her life)

Yo seriously why aren't there more posts in this thread right now? Another fantastic episode.

Haven't watched it yet, bruv.
made a huge mistake and all that, etc.
I'm pretty sure the writers at this point are pretending that Fusco doesn't have a son.
As for tonight's episode, it was alright though the one thing that really irks me is the cliche' writing and shitting on geeks. Why do writers feel the need to essentially shit on themselves and confirm stereotypes about themselves?
I didn't see any shitting on geeks, more making fun of startup culture.
Yeah, It's straight ripped out of a little plotline in GTAV. Horrific Startup Internet/Computer businesses.
Hey guys, quit fighting over your comic books you nerds. I'm a grown up, listen to me.
I immediately thought of this as well and not in a positive way. GTA's humor is some of the lowest brow there is and has only gotten worse.
Why didn't Samaritan just use Claire as bait and snatch Finch up? Claire claims she was trying to make him an "asset" but that seems like a curiously inefficient plan when they've been trying to track down Finch and his team all season.
The number of the week plot did absolutely nothing for me. I miss Shaw.

Damn I thought Harold was going to have to play into Samaritan's game of being recruited. That would have made for some interesting episodes. I never trusted Claire from the second she appeared even after her sob story plea.
Yeah, I was suspicious of Claire when she appeared, but I really didn't trust her when she became so damn eager to "kill Samaritan" just after being told of its existence. At least the writers made it believable though because they made sure Harold never did let his guard down until she played on his emotions exploiting his character weakness. That's how you do good character writing (takes shot at the Walking Dead's writing 
)
But yeah, Samaritan and The Brotherhood are very much alike. Their leaders, the AI and Dominic are only concerned with their own power and think nothing about sacrificing anything and anyone to get what they want. But slowly and surely their own lackeys (Link, Claire/Control) are coming to realize their own worthlessness to them.

Good episode. Going to bed early, so thoughts tomorrow... but damn, Claire was really working that new hairstyle at the end.
This is the first time in a long while i was dissapointed in a POI episode. Everything was really predictable - the girls betrayal, Finch capture and Root showing up as a deus ex machina at the end.
I didn't care one bit for the number and that whole story.
EDIT: oh and i'm at the top of the page, great. Sorry for being a party pooper :/

Claire's allegiance was pretty obvious, but the genius is, that it was obvious even for Harold, but his obligation to safe people and the possibility of a new weapon against Samaritan. And her actual believing in Samaritan and showing Harold good that Samaritan does, was interesting.
Fatherly smiling boss Greer was oddly scary. When Greer smiles, puppies die.
The problem the show right now has, that the first half of the season set the bar so insanely high, that everything below absolutely amazing seems weaker than it is.

Pretty much, I like how they handled Claire. Finch wasn't buying into it until she played into his weaknesses, very smart of her.
Anyhow, I thought they episode was great.

Just watched the episode: thought it was great even though the Samaritan plotline was pretty obvious from the beginning. I'm left wondering what Root is up to now. I'm really liking how the show is showing the similarities between the Brotherhood and Samaritan. I can't imagine Samaritan is going to go down this season though, right? Samaritan feels like the Biggest Bad, I can't even comprehend what could be worse than Greer and the AI down the line.
I still wish that Samaritan wasn't the big bad AI, I want it to be true benevolent GOD. I gotta say if Samaritan actually existed in the real world I'd sign up with Decima in a heart beat over Finch and Co. That is assuming that Samaritan truly is a benevolent AI God like say Helios in Deus Ex (DX1 spoilers),
at which point I'd merge my brain with Samaritan and become a true GOD.
