Deus Ex Machina
That's how you do a
Season Finale! Everything that has come before and including the kangaroo court has been nothing but theater as we just how far reaching and powerful
Decima really is. Turns out that Vigilance was nothing more than a pawen constructed by
John Greer to further his agenda of not only getting military backing for Samaritan, but getting the public to think that they need this new machine after orchestrating a "terrorist" attack and making
Peter Collier the patsy, who unbeknownst to him was groomed to take the fall from day 1. NEVER saw this or anything like this coming at all.
At the end of the day,
Greer wins by activating
Samaritan as it goes live online. Immediately we see just what this new machine will be used for as
Greer sets about eliminating all the remaining members of
Vigilance systematically. But thanks to
Root, the gang of
Reese, Finch, Shaw and herself, they were able to escape
Samaritan due to alteration she did with
Samaritan's Servers. But the ending is what's intriguing as each goes their seperate way from each other and they go into hiding....wherever that may be. Loved the song they used to close out the episode
(Radiohead's "Exit Music (For A Film)" and I love that there was a picture of
Carter (who I still miss on the show). But just seeing her picture was.....a perfect reminder of who was lost during this season. The final scene was very eery. It reminded me of
War Games. When
Greer asked
Samaritan for its commands, I was half expecting to hear
Samaritan say "Shall we play a game?".

This is easily the best episode for the entire season. It's a game-changer and things will never be the same from here on out. Can't wait for Season 4 to start. This is going to be a long Summer. Ack! I easily rate this one a whopping
10 Stars out of 10. It's THAT damn good!
