Person of Interest 5x12

[aragarna]

Only one episode left *sigh* I'm going to miss them....


Well, except for Greer. Mouahahahah Greer's dead!! *happy dance*
I'll admit it was kind of a little stupid... There was absolutely no reason in the world for Greer not to get out of this room. But I do like the poetry of Samaritan killing Greer. And at least he'll stop talking now. Why oh why do the bad guys always have to talk so much?

I loved the little glimpses of where would our heroes be in a world without the Machine. Nathan and Carter would still be alive (not sure *why* Carter would be alive...) but John would have ended killing himself despite saving Jessica. Which I actually found terribly tragic. The fact that he doesn't even appear in his own AU, just a number on a stone, added to his blatant absence in a world with no Machine.
No Machine, but still Samaritan, so it's probably just as well that the Machine is out there. If only for only a few more days...

Harold having to kill The Machine to destroy Samaritan was my idea of how it would come down since the beginning, so no surprise here. Though not sure why Harold had to voice-password protect the virus...

Bonus point for Harold speaking French and John's Willy Wonka reference. :)

But Fusco, oh Fusco... He gave me the scare of my life there! Apparently Samaritan doesn't recruit based on intelligence, cause really, not checking if the Detective was wearing a vest... It seemed a bit odd that they're only bringing up those dead bodies from the tunnel now, but at least there's hope we'll find out the end game of this plot next week.

And then we all go back to the opening scene of 5x01. The Machine calling, a deserted subway station... So something tells me Samaritan isn't going to go down without a fight.

You said you were afraid John would be killed off, so when the Machine said John has always lived on borrowed time, I was sure he was going to get killed. And then Fusco was shot. I was relieved to see everybody finish the ep in one piece :-)

For some reason, I was cautiously confident they wouldn't kill anyone else until the last episode. And certainly not John. He's too much of an important character. If he dies, it'll be in the last episode. They need to keep big emotional stuff for the finale. (so *now* I'm freaking out for next week!).

I wasn't expecting them to kill Root so soon (Root seemed to essential to the Machine's survival), but I'm guessing they wanted to explore Root-in-the-Machine for a few episodes, so that made sense.

I did freak out when Fusco was shot though because shot close range like that, it really looked bad. But never under estimate Detective Fusco... If there's only one to survive I hope it'll be Fusco (and the dog).
(I found his own AU quite sad, too)
