      @@serhio4275 If that's the case, and the Machine was indeed 'alive', then it could be argued that the 'THREAT TO SYSTEM' message was a systematic interpretation of something like _'I don't like that man, Daddy - he wants to get inside me!'_ with Finch immediately reassuring his 'daughter' (as Root refers to the Machine as though it were female in later episodes) with _'There, there, sweety, I'll fix it so he never ever does - I don't like him either'..._

      Same here, too bad there isn't such a system in operation today. But who would get the numbers? The Government or someone like Finch and Reese? For National Security, I suppose the Government would be OK, but for the Irrelevant numbers, definitely someone like Finch and Reese, but a pair in every State. A great show, too bad it didn't continue with Shaw and the other two that showed up later at the end.

    I think Nathan Ingram and Arthur Claypool are the most underrated characters on Person of Interest. Most of the audience doesn't even know that Nathan is the man who built the ''backdoor'' which has been giving the irrelevant numbers since beginning of the show. Arthur, on the other hand, is the man who created Samaritan.

      Basically agree.

      @@Minecraftrok999 well, it was actually left with some potential for a spinoff/expansion, iirc. There are several individuals besides Fusco, Shaw, and Finch who are not only aware of the machines existence, but also privy to what Finch and company were up to with the numbers. They also were taking directions from it in order to rescue Reese and Finch from various tight spots in that last season as well. There was the young computer guy entrepreneur, the wily con lady, and another soldier type, right? It could conceivably be rebooted (no pun intended) as a new series with new players on the same premise...Sadly any appearances by Reese would have to be flashbacks of some sort, but it could still have participation from the old cast as such...
      But yeah, at least the series had closure and got to finish the story it started. That would have been terribly frustrating otherwise. Great series!

      To be honest that's deep neural networks function. Deep neural networks are Machine learning algorithms that are currently state of the art in almost every task and are infamous for their lack of interpretability. You can make educated guesses based on experience and intuition as to why it makes a certain prediction but you will never know for sure as to why it made that prediction with a 100% certainty. It's been compared to a black box before as well. Of course the way AI was portrayed in the show was very different and frankly doesn't exist to the level in which it was depicted but it's still a wonderful show nonetheless.

      A bit too late maybe but... Finch essentially crippled the machine. All we see the machine doing before being "freed" later in the series is within very narrow constraints that Finch put in. It couldn't just do whatever it wanted. It's actually a major plot point in the series.
      Even after that, with complete freedom access-wise, it was still encumbered by the morality and restrain Finch essentially programmed in it. Samaritan was not.

      The machine did eventually recruit more people without telling finch (no way just 4 people could do all the numbers)

    He/she appeared at that school, Family Ties. She has a set of Irish twins seventeen months apart. That place has paint peeling off of the walls, prison fencing, windows that don’t open and a basketball court with only five or six lights working. It is a real school during the week. A place that they send troubled kids, imagine that. What Orange County is doing is breeding the next generation of criminals, fact not fiction. Nevertheless, it is your right to pay for and receive a private facilitator, as did I. Judge Murphy denied my request which violated not only the law but my civil liberties as a United States citizen. It was not in his jurisdiction to deny shit. That was Sweeney behind the mask of Plummer, understand? If you think this is over, you are sadly mistaken. I haven’t even really begun.

      WTF are you talking about? This has nothing to do with Person Of Interest.
