Well, I just finished season 5 and yes, the final two episodes were simply AMAZING and very satisfying. I knew one of the team had to go down, so I think losing John was the right call. He did what he was made to do- be a hero.
However, I was still left unsatisfied with the season as a whole. I think the Samaritan storyline just wore me out. It got comical with 20 Samaritan soldiers always being shot in the kneecaps by two people. Too many gun fights that bordered on absurdity.
But what gave me the most pleasure was knowing the Machine survived! Yeah! Even though Harry never unleashed its powers, it still was able to defeat Samaritan up there in the satellite. Maybe the Machine was able to win because Samaritan was compressed in some zip file, I believe, and this reduced its power. Not sure though because I am not a techie. I also believe all those simulations the Machine lost to Samaritan was purposeful and ultimately equipped the Machine to win the final battle.
I'm glad some people loved seasons 4-5 much more than I did. As much as I loved the show, you know I wanted to love it all.......but it just got a wee bit over the top for my liking. Oh well, it's just me. Having said all that, this show will still go down as one of the most amazing tv series I have watched and definitely is in my top 10, along with Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Fringe, X-Files, Breaking Bad, and Stargate SG-1.
Lol. I actually liked her speech to Nick telling him she is happy with the person she now is and doesn't want to go back. I was surprised by that because I didn't think she was content being a hexanbeast.
So I guess we all agree. Grimm can do no wrong! These final two,episodes should be great.
You are absolutely right. It still is a great show with great new vesons and Team Grimm are fun to root for. It will be missed.
She is Eve, not Juliette.
Why would she need bullwhipping?
So what do you think they will find at Ganeymeade when they get there?
Yes, I remeber that conversation. She did correct him a few times, as I recall. Yeah, he said he was from poor immigrants or something similar.
Seth gave that awesome encouraging speech to Emily when she came in for a drink because she was all down about what had happened with Aaron. He was so happy and encouraged because of Kirkman and all.......you felt soooooo good about him for saying those encouraging words.
Hmmmmm, but could that be misdirection?
Thanks for reminding me about those small details. They might mean something.
I lost a little interest in POI after season 3 as well. I watched the rest, but did not really enjoy many of the episodes in season 4-5 as I did when Carter was there. The show took a few turns that obviously alienated some people. Yet some other people liked the turns. Samaritan v. The Machine seemed to drag on too much with so many redundant gun fights that looked comical after a while.
Loved the whole Elias part. Dominic was okay too. Shooting the bad people at the kneecaps just wasn't as satisfying for me after a while.
Much of seasons 4 and 5.
I definitely didn't get that impression. We are talking about Control, right? She became one of my favorite characters when she made a turn to stop Samaritan.
Shaw didn't seem like she could love anyone once she got into the spy business. She was really a little bad a**.
So, to answer your question, I don't know. I think Root brought out that side in her that was probably dormant for a long time.
I'm not aware of her from past shows but I don't consider her the angel of death on this one. Now, I am on episode 6 season 5 (Netflix) so maybe I will change my mind. I'm not 100% sure what you mean by angel of death. People die around her or the show dies when she comes on board. If the former, then maybe I should wait until season 5 ends.
I liked Root a lot at first, then I cooled toward her, but I always did like her love for The Machine. That was her "baby" and she would have done anything to protect it and let it grow up.
Harold to me is tooooooo cautious. He doesn't want to hurt a fly and often is discouraging his mates from harming someone, but he is not looking at the big picture. That someone will probably end up killing a bunch of people, including your loved ones, if you don't stop them.
That aspect of Harold did frustrate me, I must admit.
I'm not sure what to expect on Ganymede but I can't wait to find out. I don't think it will be another Eros though. I still would like to know about Venus.
Yeah, that decisiveness was a breath of fresh air for sure. I believe this show has lacked just that - a favorite protagonist- for us to root for. However, I do not believe her role will increase much.
Holden and Miller just didn't do it for me. Naomi has been the closest one up until now. Let's see where we go.
Clearly there is a mole in his office. Who is it? Who don't you trust?
I just watched episode 12 having recorded it from last night. I'm still shocked at the conclusion. This show just stepped up its game. We obviously have many more levels to uncover, don't we?
The only think I know for sure- Kirkman, Emily, the Press Secretary, and I hope his Secret Service Agent are the only ones I could trust. I don't even trust his WIFE. Did I say that?
I think it will, it has to. You don't think it stopped at the VP do you? No, she killed both him and her because the CAUSE is greater than their own lives. Yes, I think this goes very deep. I'm enjoying the ride.
Hmmmm, interesting. I like the show more and more each episode. You know what they say, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Cheers.
