I don't know who exactly had the idea of creating the Root character, but whoever this is, this person is a pure genius. Though I loved the show straight from pilot, I found it even much more interesting when Root was introduced (then gradually became on of the main characters).
This episode is focused on Root. Her major action is what is happening today and regarding tomorrow's threats, but also her past. The richness of this episode still blows me. It could have been directed by Mr Spielberg : there is EVERYTHING in this episode : (much) fun, (much) action, redemption, danger, violence, intelligence, strategy, etc.
It's in this episode one may realize that probably no actress except Amy Acker could have impersonated Root in this show. She acts it awesomely, at a point when one may wonder where does Amy stop and when does Root begin. She plays so naturally.
Great, great, great episode, including the starting point of a huge danger that is coming. This episode can be watched standalone if you didn't watch the previous episodes and seasons, but of course, having watched them will help understanding the subtle elements.
Producers : please bring POI back to life !
