Here we go. This might be the greatest episode of the series... it's certainly one of the best of all television series... but that doesn't make it any less of a gut punch. Brilliant and beautiful and tragic. (Sarah Shahi was pregnant with twins, btw, and couldn't keep working.)

"anyone who looks upon life as a game of chess deserve to lose." That who speech as stuck with me. So did "life is crap, welcome to the human race. But you're not alone." but for different morality reasons lol. The Crossing/Devils Share are my favorite episodes but this one was also absolutely brilliant. Fusco kissing Root was not on my bingo card, ever. Shaw... Damn. But at least the show runners treated Sarah and Shaw with respect, since Sarah was pregnant and high risk with twins. Unlike someone else did to another pregnant Queen during season 4 of a different Amy Acker show...

This is possibly the best episode of Television ever produced. Edit : You've said that timeloop episodes are pretty common, but this episode aired in like 2014, more than 10 years ago, and they weren't all that common back then. The past 5 or so years there has been a "multiverse" craze with it popping up everywhere, and with it a lot of "alternate story" episodes or movies. But back when this episode aired, there wasn't such a trend, and it's pretty incredible how novel the show kept being.

"Unlike someone else did to another pregnant Queen during season 4 of a different Amy Acker show..." Boom! And Fusco and Root's kiss is probably the most unpredictable thing of this episode, and we had Shaw go out in style :'D

Octavia

The segment with just descriptors for their usual exchanges is so amazingly brilliant & hilarious. And "Maybe someday" is a poignant touchstone for the Shoot fandom. It's Root's anguish that is so soul-crushing... with the way Finch & Fusco have to pull her away. My heart!

Love this episode for all the obvious reasons. This show can be incredibly cheesy with its dialogue and yet also has moments of absolute brilliance. As someone else has mentioned, that whole chess speech is really a great understanding of Harold's character, why the Machine is the way she is and just overall incredibly profound. Kudos to the writer. Then of course there's the Machine, all the simulations and that insight into how she looks at the world. This is why Root knows everything when the Machine speaks to her because the Machine has seen hundreds of thousands of different versions to not know but to accurately predict what could happen. I also love how there's some variables even the Machine can't account for like Shaw crawling through and using the guy's bomb to assist with their escape. Absolutely heartbreaking seeing Shaw go out like that (although beautifully filmed, kudos to actors/director on that). After learning what we now know about how the Machine operates, seeing her scrolling through loads of scenarios really fast trying to find a way to save her... chefs kiss* What a great episode.

I love the way their calculated odds shoot up when Shaw suddenly arrives... and the way the Machine keeps trying to desperately calculate for Shaw til the end.

In one of the subway simulations, Shaw foreshadowed the end when she said: "If you wanna die, okay... but die for something that you love." I adore how the real run included aspects from all the considered attempts. This episode is god-tier.

What made the kiss even funnier was the way Root/Amy went from confused to giving a tiny shrug as if to say "yeah makes sense" once Fusco went meta. I still crack up seeing it. It's since dropped to 9.8 but for a while this had a perfect 10 on IMDB, and I think it was the only episode of the series to briefly reach perfect score.

I look at it as a look into the mind of the machine too. I think it's a testament to how well they've made The Machine feel like a character. Finch's flashbacks are now pretty much serving as flashbacks of The Machine in its "youngest" form kinda like Finch's scenes as a kid with his dad. I don't think it's a coincidence they had Finch say this episode he remembers everything his father taught him, as we also see Finch teaching the Machine chess clearly stuck as the lesson of not valuing people more than others. However, in life we do that all the time, not in terms of Kings vs Pawns but we value the people in our lives differently. The Machine has formed attachments to our team and perhaps has even learned from them. Finch taught the Machine people aren't to be sacrificed but this group is made of people who would sacrifice themselves (and who were more willing than Finch to consider killing the Congressman last season.) The Machine was focused on the best way to get to the server room and the elevator, I think the over looking of Shaw also had to do with the scenarios never really getting as far as when Shaw arrived (and chance of survival of the group immediately, awesomely, went up.)

This is the best episode of the show and one of the most heart wrenching. I love how well everyone’s simulated deaths fit them. Reese going out in a blaze of glory while taking everyone with him, Root calling Shaw to ask her if maybe someday they can be together because she needed that closure (like when she asked Finch if he could give Shaw a message) and because she wanted to hear her voice one last time. And then there’s Shaw, who earlier in the episode told the guy on the train with the bomb to “die for something that you love,” who sacrifices herself after kissing Root to save her. What incredible writing and foreshadowing. Side note: I found it hilarious how the writers used the machine to give a meta commentary on each character’s normal lines. It’s one of my favorite parts of the episode.

Honest to God, this is the greatest television episode in history
