Is it actually good or am I being meme'd here?

It was great, can't really think of a live action production to get AI so right.

Just had never seen a thread about it except for two today.

Totally over and done with, right? Might give it a watch when I'm done with The Shield.

Never heard about it until this thread. 6 seasons.. is it worth the investment? Its premise sounds interesting

and holy shit, 20+ eps per season?

>it's the right building, Finch

>FOR YOU

BRAVO JONATHAN NOLAN

totally worth it

show was great.
last episode was great.

>you're kind of screwing up the big guys plan

now this is pottery

Honestly, the initial three seasons are absolutely worth the watch.
Seasons 4 & 5 have its moments, but sadly few and far between.

The A.I. concepts, morality and surveillance aspects of the series are on point.

you also get to watch her

press f to pay respects

he's alive. he survived much worse

I know it's illegal to say you liked the last seasons of a show on Sup Forums but I preferred them since the Samaritan storyline was so much more engaging than the typical case of the week episodes

"Her" style erotic romcom sequel with Shaw and Machine!Root when?

F

Shame seasons 4 and 5 didn't live up to the standards set in season 3.

For you

>drilled into us that Samaritan would kill the team not long after going online
>whole team survives until 5x09, 1.5 years later

>1x01 sooner or later both of us will probably end up dead
>only reese dies. harold gets super happy ending.

>kill Shaw with an implied headshot
>jk shes totally ok (minus a little whats real, but thats also ok at the end)

>root - most influential character with harold and machine
>dies offscreen after shot by random mook. plays zero part in the end of samaritan

>13 episodes to wrap up series
>spend at least half on number eps and then introduce virus not mentioned previously in the very last couple of eps to deus ex everything

>samaritan vs machine simulations. a trillion to zero in favor of samaritan
>'This time, I don't have the option of losing.'

It could've been so much more.

First 3 seasons are gold, but then starts turning to shit in the 4th as it goes from the bad-guy-of-the-week formula that makes it so good to a storyline/plot type of show and the storyline is shit. Don't know about the last season, haven't watched it, but people keep praising it for some reason.

Yeah but Fusco lived right?

1. its set up how it cant find them in season 3 finale

2. he deserved it, while reese always had a death wish

3. the actress got pregnant so they needed something to write her out

4. root essentially became the machine, her wildest dream come true

5. it had already been established the AIs were vulnerable to viruses

6. the machine still had its restrictions in place during those simulations, Root hadn't convinced Harold to take them off

>the bad-guy-of-the-week formula that makes it so good

Fusco was the only one I expected to live. It makes sense that the guy that asked no questions ever would get through relatively unscathed.

Good to hear, great actor and even better character.

plus he has a son to look after

>tfw Shaw continues the vigilante work but without the pussy no-kill code

we Punisher now

any more rare Benjamin Luns?

I don't get Sup Forums's supposed hatred of stand-alone episodes, many of /tv's most beloved shows are stand-alone. Some work better stand-alone with a thin overarching plot, some work better as as a story. Why can't we have both?

In the case of PoI, the stand-alone formula worked much better for the show. Switching to a story style series is half the reason it was cancelled.

>juggling vigilantism with restaurant reviews

Woman has a bottomless stomach.

>he deserved it for literally creating all the problems

>Switching to a story style series is half the reason it was cancelled.

Yeah, because PLEBS can't follow an on-going story every week and need muh procedural.

I mean he deserved his bad ending of ending up with an ugly bitch like Arlene and not Reese

1. Cover identities that would've been broken if Greer wasn't retarded. He's got pictures of thier faces. Samaritan can compute irrelevant numbers so its a matter of just seeing which random people turn up at these numbers often enough and then send human agents after them.
2. Harold did not deserve a happy ending. Played with fire and got his friends and large numbers of randoms killed.
3. Yep thats why Shaw was 'killed' instead of Reese. Still didn't need to bring her back though.
4. Doesn't refute my point?
5. The only virus I remember is an unnamed one Kara sent John and Snow to fetch. The shutdown in season 2 was by code leaked by Harold.

Well bros. I've decided to take the plunge on this show based on the recommendations here. I've needed a show to turn my brain off and binge to to fight the crippling depression and this sounds up my alley. Wish me luck!

good luck, people are debating ITT if the first half or second half are better, but at least everyone enjoyed one half of it which is better than most tv

>join the military to follow your father's footsteps
>give up the love of your life to join the secret service to serve your country after terrorists attacks
>get betrayed by your country and your mentor
>survive and go back just to find you were too late to save your love
>end up working for this guy saving people
>protect and save him from his own past when it caughts up multiple times, even go an extra mile to save him
>lose your new potential love interest, which later an entire episodes about how you never opened to her in time
>finally find a woman that understands you by the end of season 4
>forced to leave her to protect her
>end up being the only one that dies outside of Root which honestly deserved it for being an horrible person most of his life
>can't even have the body to have a burial or something
>no one other than Finch will ever know what happened but he is too busy having his happy ending

he'll rise again after 3 days

>can take on 30 guys single handedly
>can dodge cruise missiles
>dies to 3 guys and a cruise missile

if they ever make a sequel they should just go full sci-fi and make him come back as an android

>implying he wasnt a terminator the entire time

3x10 for terminator reese. only stopped by bleeding too much on his gun.

at least Harold got over it pretty quickly

>Root's grave had been dug up

What did they mean by this?

It's good. It's like a live action anime done right. Like Ghost in the Shell.

Didn't you hear root at the end? She said maybe it's not yet over. She's hinting that another network is going to pick the show up.

They took her cochlear implant and its presumably how they found the subway.

Would've preferred this as a last season (even if its missing some eps)
>Fusco is told of the machine in the first ep.
>Bear given to Fuscos son early in the season so we don't have instances were Bear is left alone for a week or more. Plus it'll give Bear some plot armor.
>Shaw returns earlier in the season.
>Virus mentioned in first or second episode as nuclear option.
>PUSA episode in the middle of the season. Shaw dies during this ep which causes Root to blame Harold and gets her to modify the machine without Harolds knowledge.
>Machine takes Shaws voice to comfort Root and the team.
>Harold, Reese, Root and Fusco go on raid to release to virus. Fusco dies.
>Fuscos death is how Samaritan tracks down the subway.
>Harold, Reese hunt down Samaritan backups. Samaritan agents shoot Harold.
>Root protects the machine in the subway.
>Keep the satellite story but both harold and reese are on the same roof. Harold bleeds out after initiating upload. Reese keeps him company until cruise missile strike.
>The machine contacts Root to tell her it will all be OK after the machine dies.
>Final shot is a broken root with no friends and whose only purpose is to recreate the machine - the only thing she knows how to do to get some sort of Shaw back.

>when a show decides to be great and gets punished for it
fuck television

>implying I would care about a show with a different cast

For me at least, it's less that S4 and S5 attempted to be something bigger and I didn't like it. It's that they attempted to be something bigger while also still maintaining case of the week. Many were great such as the school episode where we learn that Samaritan is attempting to indoctrinate children. But a lot of episodes equally were just forced into the "yeah but Samaritan is actually pulling the strings" and we lose out on a lot of ethical discussion.

In fact the finale basically throws out all ethics. Finch's line of "but im going to make it anyways" is great but shows that S5 basically threw away everything discussed in the first three seasons.

They're all still alive, except Root and John

but John was one my favourite characters

>tfw even the series finale cant get two bump limited threads.

Meh, episode 12 was better

youtu.be/l5PSDmdGZ8c?t=157

>tfw

I think most people will agree that season 1 is a very dodgy season.

at least he went doing what he always wanted

But what made them so great was the teamwork. And half of the team is dead.

>when Jim didn't whisper all the time

...

The absolute madman

I thought the show got cancelled in the first or second season years ago.

Did they kill that autistic kid?

>autistic kid?
Which one?

I think he means the one Samaritan used to talk

It was cancelled because it was expensive and it was owned by WB not CBS. CBS pretty much only want CBS produced shows now. The ratings weren't great but they've worked with less. Also starting off procedural then turning serialized is JJ's usual bait and switch tactic, remember Fringe.

He appeared once during a simulation in season 5 but never again.

I thought I heard on the news somewhere that someone as coming up with a real algorithm to spot terrorists based on shit they do beforehand too. Maybe ti will also spit out numbers as a side effect.

It's actually good user. Season 1 is rocky since it's trying to escape the CBS procedural model but even that is still good compared to CSI-type shit.

>never again
Isn't it him on pic related? I honestly don't remember how he looks.

he was blonde, that was some random kid whos dad died

That's Reese in a simulated flashback dude. Do you even pay attention to the show when watching?

I must have skipped the episode where they introduced this kid as a child-Reese.

They don't introduce him as child Reese, it's mostly an ongoing implied backstory throughout the series. The episode where Reese goes to drink his sorrows away when Carter died sets up that his soldier dad died doing something heroic.

It might be setup even earlier than that but that's what I remember.

Finch has to throw out all of his ethics to defeat a power-mad open ASI. He didn't get there easily and didn't make the choice willingly. He still didn't fully trust the Machine all the way until the mid-point of S5.

Ah, nevermind, now I see it. He was shown in the beginning of the episode with no dialogue and backstory so I thought it was Samaritan's kid, but later he appears in a fullblown flashback.

Are you confusing it with CSI Cyber?

>they let Finch and the supporting cast alive

so this confirms the show is going to keep going on some other network

I'm retarded. Who was that guy whose deaths cops reported?

It was a random thing The Machine saw happen that taught it something important about death. I don't think the person involved was significant.

Ah, I see. Thanks.

Kind of a weird decision to include a random person in the flashback. Then again, it shows that not everything revolver around the team.

I'm sad it is over but when I think about it; it is a good choice. it wasn't the strongest finish but it was good. So many series go on for so long and turn to shit after few seasons. At least we have this.

>Fusco and Reese arrested
>not taken to jail but prisoner escort are executed by machine snipers
>Fusco and Reese presumably accused of killing the prisoner escorts
>One week later Fusco is back at work

hmmm

F

Machine probably did some paperwork

First two seasons were amazing basic cable/crime of the week tv.

After that it became just alright, but I liked the finale, it was a good way to end it.

>Bear survived unharmed

Bear is not a bitch, though.

It had a lot to do with how The Machine eventually came to understand how the so-called "irrelevant" events were important too.

Bitch just keeps having babies when her show needs her the most.

No, did that cancelled as well? Shame that show was hilarious.

I genuinely it's got cancelled years a go, there was tons of articles about how it was just one of many smart underappreciated TV shows that never had a chance to find an audience.

Well that's good I can watch I guest.

People also claim to have a way to make cars run on water so take it with a pinch of salt.

Yeah, it got cancelled after season 2 because of abysmal ratings. I miss it, like one would miss a retarded but loyal dog.

Anybody have the screenshot with the third "asset" box behind Reese and Finch in the Federal Reserve? I forgot to save it last night.

Bear is the chosen one. He's going to be the star of the PoI spin off, mark my words.

Some folks in the other thread theorized that it was just a glitch, another guy analyzed the color composition with GIMP and said it might just be a white box that looks yellowish because of blur.

Or maybe it was another asset of the machine (think some episodes back) they didn't know about and that was there to secure their way.

...

a bit clear one I guess

Did they ever show what happened to that female genius hacker they tried to save that started working for Samaritan?

Was expecting both Finch and Reese to die but I guess it's nice that Harold got to be happy again now that he's free of his creation.
