Yes, the twist didn't come as a great surprise.
Count me fooled by Dominic as well. Well done. Lots of pieces being shuffled around. it was good to see Elias there.todd s said:I was fooled by the whole Dominic-Mini plot.
Completely agree with you on everything you wrote, especially the similarity to Terminator 3. I was also certain Root was a goner near the end of the episode since they had kind of built up to it all throughout the show. The flashbacks to early iterations of the Machine were terrific!Robert Crawford said:I think it was one of the best episodes of the series. Very enjoyable with my only concern to a small degree was Cara Buono mimicking Kristanna Loken's mannerisms in Terminator 3. It's going to be interesting seeing the father and offspring reunion.
The viewers have a lot more information about the development of the The Machine, and very little regarding Claypool's work on Samaritan so it is difficult to classify Samaritan (at least for me.) Certainly some of the lethality of Samaritan comes from its official reason for existence - identification and elimination of threats. How much of that lethality is driven by Samaritan and how much is driven by Greer and his operatives is not precisely known. There is no doubt that the two groups have different perspectives on the value of life.Samaritan will kill anybody that interferes with it's objectives. It picks gullible people who are easily manipulated. It builds it's base of support through fear, intimidation, and manipulation.
This is the main reason I'm still watching. (Besides nothing else to do on tuesdays after supper).Robert Crawford said:as each episode builds onto the main story.
