I was right about the writers deciding who lives and dies by the end of the season at least...;_;
This is getting too dark, too fast.
I have stated my theories of who is head of the operation but only time will tell...
This episode is just the start of future long-term threads in my opinion. It reminds me of Critical in terms of plot development, an interesting non-relevant story that advances the season unlike any episode before it (let's ignore the Relevance episode).
Is it possible to deliver a convincing tale in three episodes?
Now we have to wait another three weeks?
CBS playin' with our emotions.

You mean "who is in charge" above Greer?
The only "big time" player that I could think of that isn't the Government (and appears not to be the Chinese, since only a small portion of the data went to them), might be
Was that who you thought?

the long thought dead Nathan?
Yes...yes it was.
Long shot but I'm holding out hope, kind of early for fan service but it rewards those who been watching since the beginning.
What interest me is that they are actively investigating for Finch. Should the organization discover his identity, subsequent moves could serve to indicate who is the mastermind.
It's either someone we don't know, or that theory, cause Root's a solo act, HR and Elias are standard (though good) organized crime, and it's not the Chinese (per se). Maybe the upper aspects of the Government cartel (The character listed as "Pennsylvania Two").
Still, the virus is aimed at The Machine, and the only parties getting info from it are the Government Cartel and FinchCo. So it'd be doubtful either would want it to be damaged.

If it's what we thought of
perhaps the incident that cause Finch's injuries, are the central point of all this. The Mystery company and the reason Finch started along his current path
This is very plausible to me just because I imagine Finch is hiding so much more than I think the audience notices.
Michael Emerson is a man with many talents, he was meant for this role.
This episode hit on all points for me.
I immediately went from this:
to this:
when it dawned on me that we have another long wait.
And when Shaw saw Roots pic and decided to pick up a hobby:
I'll subscribe to your theory @Lonestar. It really makes me wonder what we have in store for the next 3 episodes.

That was a great episode, pretty emotional at the end I actually wanted him to pull it through.
Yeah, it's strange. I started to hate him these last few episodes and then you find out he's a good guy after all and the next moment they kill him. It sucks when shows do that

I'm watching this one tonight.
I'm excited.
I need to get my ass in gear and start live-watching with you guys next season.

Probably fix the machine, and then when she has access set it free.
old guy is Chris and Jonah Nolan's real life uncle. In the show, he's a higher up (but not the highest up) of some unknown corporation/criminal organization, that is plotting something that involves/needs The Machine to be damaged/destroyed.
Ratings were a little down, something like a 2.7 rating. Still tied for the lead of that time slot. These long breaks with little advertising isn't doing wonders, though it's still renewed, so who cares.

Yep.
This is the only show I absolutely won't wait on someone to watch with me.
Makes my girlfriend mad but oh well.

Yeah I was hoping he'd make it/Reese would show up in time to save him. Damn.
This show sure is ramping up to something. Best action/drama show on TV. Might end up better than 24 overall, too.

That was awesome. So awesome.
First off, poor Beecher. I felt pretty bad for him. Finally getting to the truth, his love interest knows he's not dirty, then he gets blown away. Motherfuckin' Quinn.
Second, motherfuckin' Greer. The Nolan Uncle is still creepy and plotting something awful and I love it. What the fuck is his organization up to?
Third, motherfucking SHAW. God, I love that woman. I hope next she and Root meet, it is as hot as their last meeting. Gotdamn. That's a good hobby to have.
Liked Harold giving Jacobs a job (and yes, NYC's main job creator, hahaha) and giving Shaw and Shaw's partner's parents some peace.
Have we not looked up the blue screens last couple of episodes?

That's awesome.
Wonder if anyone's looked into if "Decema" or however it's spelled, means anything. That's the tech company this Data's going to.
Also, going by Greer's phone timer, 541 is probably hours (if the 50 is minutes and the last 2 digits were seconds), then that's around 22 days. Which, from the airdate of the show on 4/5/2013, puts it around 4/25 and 4/26/2013, and 4/25 is the next episode.
I'm not saying that's the implied date, or if the next episode features "whatever" it's counting down, but I thought it was interesting.
Seems like there are more and more blue screens.
Heh, that wiki page, with the speculation of the episodes blue screens, has some chilling effects. That last bit especially.

Wow, thanks for the embedded code updates.
There were far too many in the last episode, I wonder if the messages will become more specific to give viewers at home a warning of the current threat if they know how to decode it. Very exciting and terrifying indeed.
I'm wondering, the whole purpose of the virus is to slow down the machine. If "Control" discovers the threat in time and has no time to dispatch their own agents, would they alert the Pentagon? Because if they bring the US Army into it, I imagine they won't do anything unless they know where the intelligence is coming from.
This also leads me to my next line of inquiry of who else knows about the machine? Nathan said seven people, I imagine he and Alicia gave information to high ranking government officers who can act in the event someone was terminated/killed.
Far more questions than answers at this point...
As for Decima,

As for Decima,
the writers are continuing their roman mythology theme, one of the fates and the goddess of child birth.
Decima mythology spoilers:
Her Roman equivalent was Decima. Lachesis was the apportioner, deciding how much time for life was to be allowed for each person or being.[2] She measured the thread of life with her rod. She is also said to choose a person's destiny after a thread was measured. In mythology, it is said that she appears with her sisters within three days of a baby's birth to decide its fate.
Well that's certainly sinister sounding when combined with the machine.

That is indeed ominous. Is this other organization seeking to destroy the Machine or control the Machine for themselves? Choose its destiny, so to speak?
Spoilered, but just speculation with this Decima info:
hell, it's possible if they controlled the machine, they could "sell" salvation. Find out that a person could face death or life changing circumstances? Pay us $10,000 to save you.
Or, the opposite: Pay us $1 million to hide your criminal plans.
Become "Fate"

Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-
That'd be intriguing. But I think these people are already very well funded. Unless they want it for that power.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
And I was seriously impressed at how they were able to juggle so many different plotlines so clearly and effectively.
You guys think Shaw and John will ever be a thing? I don't see it.
But Shaw and Leon, I see that for some reason. It'd be hilarious.
If that is the case with the dates, wouldnt it be awesome if they did something in real life like making alot of the pay phones in NYC ring and the machine gives people who answer a code or something to try and figure out.
I do feel like there was some tension this episode between John and Shaw, I would like to see it though Zoey and John makes more sense.
As for Leon, Shaw would eat him alive.
I could see leon and shaw, in the hunt for Root. Shaw might need some tech support. John and Finch see Leons number come up again they go and look for Leon and all thats left is a note from Leon explaining Shaw saved him this time.

I honestly don't see any tension between John and Shaw. They're professional as fuck.
But my God, the potential for comedy between Leon and Shaw.

Ha, that'd be hilarious. But how would Shaw know?
I was thinking she was just searching for him so she can force him to work with her or something.

the latest episode was fantastic my god. this show is great.
Great episode. Really ramping up now. Dat hype.
Will miss
though. Nice guy in a questionable position. His relationship with
could have been a decent sub plot to carry on with, especially should whatsherface learn of said relationship. I guess she still could, ramping up to her delivering the final blow - the revenge if you will - against
. Would be nice, seeing as Finch and John are dealing with THE primary threat.
