Of all the Shaw replacements, I'll take her thank you. I wasn't happy to see Harper back, and i definitely don't like the idea of her being a more permanent fixture on the team. Solid episode though. Nice to see other people show up again, even if it was Harper.<br /><br />Never been a fan of Iris, so seeing John reciprocate her feelings was unfortunate for me, though inevitable. It just made it sting that they introduced the awesome of Frankie with a potential hook up, but then have him go right to Iris.Freemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-48343942518973639292015-04-01T18:25:50.335-04:002015-04-01T18:25:50.335-04:00Whatever Shaw brought to the show, I think we can ...Whatever Shaw brought to the show, I think we can all agree that TPTB were not as well prepared for Shahi's absence as they made it seem in earlier interviews. The team feels fragmented with everyone off doing their own thing. Feeling it more so with Reese, whose personality is really suffering without an equal partner. (So do we<i> really</i> need Root off-screen anymore than she already is, especially since her presence basically guarantees a tightening of the numerous plotlines left for dead at this point? The Brotherhood? Elias? Hands in too many cookie jars.) I have faith in the writers to pull it all together and compensate us for our temporary sufferings in the end--and this ep was a step toward that--but yeez, am I missing Shaw.<br /><br />Loved Finch/Root as usual, and Amy played her role brilliantly. Rewatched her scenes and she let nothing on. (Adored "Good day"!) <br /><br />I agree with Anon, though; the device may yet be in play, although who knows if Samaritan will still be using her algorithm with it being discredited and all. Also I think Root ruined Beth in order to keep <i>Harold</i> alive. Burning any connections between Samaritan and Prof. Whistler and whatnot. She couldn't care less for the woman. But great comment on what this implies for Root/Machine. And very punny, sunbunny! :)trippernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-25919503159591628542015-04-01T14:13:10.927-04:002015-04-01T14:13:10.927-04:00We don't actually know that Root destroyed it....We don't actually know that Root destroyed it.

Of the various "not-Shaws" we've had, she's definitely been my favorite, due in no small part to the actress playing her. Katheryn Winnick is lovely, and a legit badass(seriously, look up her background sometime, her martial arts skills are for real). What I DIDN'T like was seeing Harper again. I don't care that they tried to make it look like she was kinda on Team Machine by revealing that The Machine was helping her, I can't stand her. <br /><br />Even though they handled it a little clumsily, I thought the bits with Iris were cute, and I actually thought it was a bit appropriate for her to handle things awkwardly with John. I like them together, and John deserves a little happiness after all he's been through. I'm curious to see where they'll go with it. One thing I REALLY wish they'd get back to is when Iris told John she knew he wasn't a cop. They've sorta breezed right past it. I'd love to see her look at John at some point, with his hero complex etc., and put it all together that he's the infamous "Man In The Suit" that the police were hunting a while back.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943327351499919454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-65084458392607561972015-03-31T09:56:18.935-04:002015-03-31T09:56:18.935-04:00Finch was always the heart of the show, yes.

But Shaw added that indefinable something that made the show for me, and I'm deeply missing it now that she's gone.

But the rest of the episode, I agree that it was blah. It's like the heart went out of the series along with Shaw. Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
