Do335 Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) Season 5 aired today and i'm not disappointed at all. The show tackles subjects of computers, massive surveillance, artificial intelligence, bit of hard social sci-fi (especially season 3+, but for a tv show that is, and some of it for me is a believable reality) and drama/action and ticks good boxes for me. For a while I thought for sure it was gonna be cancelled. It seems good sci-fi never lasts long... like Firefly. Just glad to see it gets to be completed and audience can have a solid story, especially since season 4 the good guys have been constantly on the run and get beaten down until hanging on by a thread by the end. Good to see a comeback both for the show and story! bit of spoiler for first episode season 5: the "machine" was compressed into a single suitcase of RAM chips and they built a super computer consisting of 300 playstations where the machine decompresses into. The rag-tag super puter overheats and is about to fry, when Reese grabs a bottle of liquid nitrogen and cools down the whole thing. for a somewhat computer nerd I thought 'twas was very awesome!

+daddyairplanes Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 This is the last seaon, and only 6-7episodes at that. At least they will wrap the story up, rather than letting it hang like CBS did with Jericho. Quote
Do335 Posted May 5, 2016 Author Posted May 5, 2016 oh, for me, 2 or 3 seasons is the sweet spot, finish the story arc and be done, gets a solid finale and it's great. Longer than that it gets soapy. PoI is already a bit long but the 2 story lines are quite distinct. I think it's like 13 eps with some 2 eps per week schedule so it's tighter than usual. Quote
Do335 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Posted May 10, 2016 Turns out a colleague also watches it. I alwasy think the show has a bit dark/black undertone but apparently according to her, Finch is called "house master", and his machine "machine kiddie". names seem fit Quote
