Big as in WxH pixels is fine.

But it's been reduced in quality so that it's only 60 Kb. Normally an image that size will be in the hundreds of Kb.

Very nostalgic episode this week. Back to the old days of just Harold and John.

Btw, I was curious what happened to Zoe. Looks like might be setting up some sort of relationship triangle with John, Zoe, and Psychiatrist.

awesome! PoI is one of the first shows I have ever watched that was extremely serial, but yet I absolutely loved the procedural episodes. In fact the wife and I always talk about how she would like the show to be more like season 1 more, and I have been really enjoying the ride of season 3-4.

Does not matter though, I've actually been craving some of the procedural type stories again here lately, because they have gone so serial as of late, so I'm happy to hear this and look forward to watching the episode tonight!

They definitely need to get Fusco back into the mix. His backstory and character development has been the best on the show IMO.

Back to the last episode, though it was nice going back a "procedural" episode I feel the handling of the situation was very poor for them.

Spoilers obviously....

1. Jumping to the conclusion at 1st that the husband was trying to fix the trial bc basically he was probably guilty was very odd.

2. The case was over the min they found the hidden email talking about the dangers of the new cell phone towers. All they had to do was give that document to the defense attorney and the motive immediately changes to a cover up murder.

I think the only reason they jumped to the defendant being guilty was because that's who Zoe said it had to be, and Reese was too hot for her to think straight, and Harold was too worried about his acting skills to tell Reese to put it back in his pants.

Solid theory.

I assumed they got charges based on testimony of that hit man who would probably take a plea deal. But maybe it was the email, not sure.

Yeah I'm not sure why Zoe was there. I think the show needs her back for an arc though.

I loved how the machine was fighting Harold's efforts early in the episode without him realizing it.

I think Finch really wanted to believe her against his better judgement. Glad to see bad arse Root back!

Yeah, it's great to see Root kicking arse but it seems that they missed an opportunity for some character growth with her crisis of faith but it seems she's fully bought back into the Machine.

It seems that Harold did at least cover his bases with the tracking device on the computer so he was suspicious to the end.

I would really like to see an episode from Samaritan's point of view. The show is doing a good job of showing that it's not as simple as Harold's "Evil AI" analysis. Samaritan and the Machine seems to have similar goals, they just diverge on how to achieve them and at what short term cost.

I also do think there is room for her doubt. Even if she doesn't believe I can see her agreeing to help Harold and shoot some Samaritan operatives.

don't forget, even in season 1, everyone about Root was an infatuation with Harold. If it means saving Harold, or helping the team achieve their goals, even if it means following the "god" she has lost faith in, she will, because of how much she idolizes them.
