Best season opening.
3 May 2016
Warning: Spoilers
After crazy amount of delay and sad news about show ending with this season we finally get our dose of thrill ride, and boy was it worth the wait. Let's dissect the first episode of this epic drama/thriller and i will try to give as less spoiler as possible. So consider yourself warned:

The opening starts with a cryptic, chilling shot of the machine team's base of operation. The car is missing, the team along with bear is missing and the place looks like it had been an arena of a conflict. Root opens the chapter taking us back to what happened after they were surrounded with machine in the briefcase in the season four last episode.

Following that is package of action, drama and a few funny one liners. Fusco has a new side mission, Root is being chased and so are Harold and Mr. Reese with the Machine. Their agenda is to reach the subway before the battery of the so called indestructible briefcase dies and decompress the machine's data and setting it free again.

If your heart is not made of stone, the final scene in season 4 where Machine and Harold have heart to heart interaction for the first time we see, made us have major feels. Well it's not the first time they (machine + Harold) have had such conversation and this time we get to witness that epic emotional moment. I say epic a lot.

Will they be able to bring the Machine back to life? Is root safe? Is Mr. Reese still in form? What is Harold's current state of mind? Watch this to get these answers.

However, the most important question - Where is Sameen? is still unanswered.

To all the fans I urge you all to start a campaign by hash tagging #Root4Machine on twitter to revive POI for season 6. Thank you.
