"Point taken ..."

Well, can't wait for the new episode ...

I love when Finch gets in on the action. Michael Emerson was the reason I started watching the show.

I am more than ready for my shows to come back on regularly. I'm getting bored at night.

Indeed Michael Emerson is the perfect actor for Finch's character. He was already awesome as "Ben" in Lost.
But by now I love the whole PoI cast. The "old" ones as much as the "new" ones like Shaw and Root.

Awesome thanks for posting the info tscc1000!!!

I am ready for my shows to come back as well

youll notice we tend to follow LOST characters around to their new shows all the time lol

They do keep popping up everywhere

Saw this, and it was ok, standard ep. One big flaw at end, when the woman stepped into the water to get the guys gun all he had to do is grab her and or the gun!
With her in the water harold could not drop the cable.

I am getting frustrated at no root, and no mention of root, or the 2nd machine.
No mention of any odd behavior by the regular machine.
I like the serial eps more than the stand alone eps.

I was wondering why she got so close to him too.

I'm starting to miss the other storyline too.

Maybe root and the 2nd machine are linked to the kidnapper... considering how quickly he called Harold

1) Oh come on, you nitpicker!     I didn't care about this "big flaw", because overall ep 2x15 again was a pretty nicely entertaining and also suspensful ep. Actually I think it's even more realistic, that the hired shooter gave up instead of risking his life. Even if he had tried to grab Sandra, there would have been quite some risk left. He also said "Please. I just work for the guy. I don't even know his name." So why die for him?? I would have much more issues, if he had rather died for some unknown bad guy. Imho it happens far too often in TV shows, that some low level criminals rather would die for the "big boss", when they get caught, what seems to be ridiculous, because they must know that their "boss" doesn't give a shit for them.

I think, after those epic episodes around HR and then Control it's good to have two or three more or less standalone eps just to take some breath. PoI for me is fun to watch already because of the excellent cast. I just like to see them acting. And Melissa Sagemiller played that 911 operator Sandra in a very likable way. Good guest cast again!. Nice of Finch to meet her and to give her conclusion with Aron.
And we probably will hear again from the mysterious guy, who called Finch at the end of the episode.

2) Don't worry, Root will be back!

I don't think so regarding Root. Root wanted always to free the machine, but never seemed to be the type who would sell her skills to criminals.
Also why would Greer and his organization "Decima" ("The new Gods") steal Samaritan just to commit usual criminal stuff like covering an "irrelevant" murder like common hired mobsters. I think they are in for a much bigger plan.
Personally I guess, the kidnapper is kind of a professional cleaner with quite some resources, who lost a "case" for the first time, so he's personally pissed and fears for his reputation. He just wants to get even with Harold, what may be a story arc for several eps. It could even be, that somehow Harold ran over that guy already in the past.

Edit: Could it be that this kidnapper/caller is the one from ep 2x07 "Critical", the former MI6 agent, who together with his team of ex-SAS operatives tried to assassin a CEO during secret surgery by threatening the surgeon's wife. He got away and also had a phone call with Reese/Finch, where he implied that he knew at least Reese from the past ...  

I think this was a good episode too. And I'm definitely looking forward to seeing Root and reference to Samaritan again.
