IGN:
Holy s***.
Okay, I'm still reeling a bit here, so please forgive typos and/or brain spasms as I attempt to dive into such a jolting, exciting, heart-wrenching episode. "If-Then-Else" was next-level inventive as The Machine attempted to solve a lethal puzzle in a matter of seconds with all of our heroes' - its "assets" - lives on the line.
Let's start at the end here. I was already a bit of a wreck after watching Root shed tears of joy just hearing Shaw snarkily tell her that maybe the two of them could be together if they were the last two people on the planet. That was enough for her. That made her so happy. And it made me bawl even though it was all part of a failed simulation. In fact, that made it even more divine.
Dinner with the Parents Review: It's a family comedy series following the Langers, who often turn their family dinners into a disruptively chaotic affair.
Bros Review: The series, as the title suggests, is about two adult men who want to behave like children and we are not here for that.
Going Home With Tyler Cameron Review: This is a simple, no-nonsense but cliched watch, with Cameron's boyish charms taking centre stage.
OMG! This was such a stressful show to watch last night. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I was just in shock at first when I didn't know that the machine was doing a trial run and Finch died. Then it rewinds and I was so glad it didn't really happened. Great episode...can't wait for next weeks to see if Shaw is alive or now...if she is...I'm sure it's barely and they are using her as bait.
Loved the whole Chess theme relating back to the Machines Chess game.
The Queen however...has been sacrificed
Why is this show not talked about more, it's basically the closest thing we'll get to a Batman series and it's pretty original when other shows seem to talk their content from source materials.
John Reese is the silent watcher protecting the city and cleaning up it's corruption. He is Batman...the Man in the suit
