The first two eps are tied together more than this last one. If the previews for next ep are accurate, this ep and the following are more of a single unit than the last two and this one. I wonder if it this came from the show creators themselves or from marketing/other network people.Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-40812013739964089712015-01-17T21:10:25.353-05:002015-01-17T21:10:25.353-05:00Michael - you're definitely not alone.

For my part, I can't separate Root from Amy Acker which explains my love for her.sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-20071600830715526072015-01-17T20:28:02.013-05:002015-01-17T20:28:02.013-05:00I'm in the minority here, I know.

I root (pun!) every week for her to suffer a dramatic death, yet I know in my heart she'll be the last one standing. As a result, I like POI less and less.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04469448997139436175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-6890718891652466442015-01-15T09:09:53.898-05:002015-01-15T09:09:53.898-05:00As much as I like Camryn Manheim, I also found the...As much as I like Camryn Manheim, I also found the first half hour frustrating. But I got that they're setting up something massive.<br /><br />Amy Acker is wonderful. Have I mentioned that lately? What I took away from this one was the fury and grief on her face. I thought for a moment that Harold wouldn't be able to talk her down.

Since she checked out Harold's story, I'm hoping she's figuring things out. I don't want her to join the team, but I do want her as an ally.

With that much menace she should become a cartoonish villain — but she didn't. In fact, she is more like Reese counterpart: willing to hurt a lot of people in the name of greater good. I can see her becoming a reluctant ally, but it's not something you do in one episode.<br /><br />Finch called Control "foolish". I believe he's wrong. She is quite smart. She knows that Samaritan is a threat; she just hasn't figured a way to fight it. And joining the team of vigilantes on the spot is definitely not her option — especially since she doesn't have their protection.<br /><br />I like that we were spared watching Root falling apart and weeping over Sameen, or Reese trying to cope with both physical and psychological trauma. Instead, when we see them, they are composed, determined, and kicking ass.<br /><br />And Bear. This episode has Bear!migmithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06981055611018991476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-60805806596613805282015-01-14T17:40:32.590-05:002015-01-14T17:40:32.590-05:00-My takeaway from Control's confrontation with...-My takeaway from Control's confrontation with Said was that she believed him, but was acting under the assumption that Samaritan was watching/listening (She thought she was safe in the park, but was mistaken, and learned from that mistake), and managed to get some information in the process. I'm not 100% sure on this, though.<br /><br />She's has more Waller in her than Arrow's Waller, atleast.<br /><br />-Root was looking pretty scary doing nothing but looking through that fence.<br /><br />-I wonder why Samaritan's agents don't use [Google Glass equivalents], it would certainly enhance their effectiveness if Samaritan were able to feed tactical information directly onto their field of view.
