Episode 10 has been the best so far, still bummed about Carter's death though.

Anyone has gif of Shaw getting electrocuted in bed. I couldn't stop laughing at that scene. I think I saw Root laughing her ass off if I'm not mistaken.

This whole recent arc starting with her and Beecher and the little war against HR felt like they kind of murdered the original purpose of her character and her final episode especially kind of drove me up the wall. Suddenly she and Reese are a thing when her apparent love for Cal Beecher had been her rallying cry to do whatever it took to take down HR to begin with? She just happens to mention offhand that she "figured out" that Finch has access to a supercomputer that cross-references media and surveillance feeds to predict targets of crime? It all just felt incredibly convenient.

This show is pretty decent. Almost done with season one.

Question: When does Reese stop treating Fusco like crap? The dude has the loyalty of a dog: no matter how many times he is kicked, he always comes back.

Man, Root and Shaw have such a hilarious relationship.

Keep watching. Things shift. Sorta.

But it looks like things are about to shift in that regard.

Yet another stellar episode and a fitting end to the three-parter, show keeps getting better and better.

I've noticed that most of the action scenes in this show give me major Watch_Dogs vibes. In a weird way, the show gets me even more hyped for the game even though they have nothing to do with each other. Guess it's the whole machine telling Root what to do thing not to mention the music (dat track in the above scene)

On Season 2 Episode 15 thus far. I really like the show (was not expecting that).

With that said, the crew really needs to start wearing gloves.

If you listen to the podcast the current episode is always the best episode yet.

For the most part, I find that assessment to be pretty accurate. :)

While drunk.

I believed the doctor reveal.

First episode where she appeared, she said she was a doctor for some time.

The best thing about this show is the large stable of characters that it can call upon in times of need.

Like that judge. I am REALLY looking forward to him coming back. And Zoey is always nice to have around.

Edit:

Season 2 Episode 21: Looks like we are going full Batman mode.

Edit2: Three-way tie between Shaw, Elias, and Fusco as favorite characters.

Finally caught up and GOD DAMN. I can't wait to see what happens. I'm sad Carter is gone but I liked the way it ended with her for the most part so I'm happy, plus seeing everyone rally around her was pretty cool. I really love Elias' character and I think I'm most happy about him returning to the spotlight, what an amazing way to end the last episode with him.

Three weeks of reruns, then a new episode, then three more weeks of reruns.

That's the life of the TV shows that start in September and end in April/May.

Lots of Breaks. I imagine the 2nd half will have lots of "2 episodes, 2 weeks break, 1 episode, 2 weeks break." March Madness will once again kill us, unless Tuesday's aren't a major night for that tourney, like Thursday was.

What.

I thought the series would continue normally after that. Why would anyone do that to its fanbase?!

TV shows moved back away from the 24/lost format, where they'd delay the start of the season till January/February. That allows for continuous episodes with little to no breaks.

Last I saw, they were filming episode 13 or 14 before thanksgiving, and the episode that just aired, was 9 or 10. We'd be caught up by Christmas with no breaks, but no episodes in the can. Having 1 episode in the next month, will let them be 7-10 episodes ahead.

In my country the entire series are just presented episode after episode, with almost no break. That's why I was kinda confused :/

To be fair it's really odd they are only coming back for 1 episode. I assume they wanted to give people a chance to chill before they give us glimpse of what the rest of the season will focus on.

March Madness should just be Thursday-Sunday. They do one round on Thursday & Friday, then the next round on the weekend.

These breaks. This is why I prefer the Lost method or more preferably, Netflix. Just give me the episodes weekly with no breaks or all at once.

As bad as it is for momentum a longer wait for a full continuous run would kill most shows here.
holiday season not many people watch tv so that gives them a gap along with summer which really doesn't have many viewers.
May-Aug(filming)Sep-Nov(Season pt1)Jan-Mar/April/May(season pt2)
repeat

Its actually a pretty good way to do it and keeps it from ever being off the air for over 3 or 4 months.
though when sports and award shows come in is when it gets stupid.

Yeah, that is the flipside to the decision. Doing the continuous January through May show, means it's off the air for 6-7 months (June-January). The other way, you'll have a month or so around Christmas, intermittent breaks, and then 3-4 months in the Summer.

Good to hear that March Madness might not effect the show, but I'll wait to see what the schedule ends up being before I fully believe they won't do a 2 week break during it anyway.
