The Birth Child Of If-Then-Else Becomes POI's Best Episode
Wow, I'm at a lost for words. This episode had a lot of hype and promise going into it but holy crap did it live up and much more. Sarah Shahi's performance was too show stealing to put into words. the fact that this was a simulation, much like If-Then-Else was, is entirely intended, and as such, doesn't feel as lazy as the "all a dream" trope could make the whole thing seem. This was confirmed by Jonathan Nolan in an interview over on IGN - the goal was to make a parallel of how Samaritan could use it's own predictive abilities in a way meant to subvert rather than save, as The Machine's goal was back during If-Then-Else.
Just an outstanding showcase of human study into the mind of Sameen Shaw. Luca O'Connor and Denise The delivers and so does Sarah!
