First off, I want to say that I love the first new opening sequence with Finch and Greer going back and forth.
It does reemphasize the Machine Wars aspect of the show.
The shift back to more “number of the week” wasn’t a surprise either considering the Machine still isn’t 100%.
But it’s still giving out numbers that Team Machine need to look into.
This week’s number belonged to Alex Duncan, a cyber security guy who quite honestly, isn’t that interesting.
But he’s digging into the death of his brother, an Army Intelligence officer, by stealing classified documents, which gets the CIA on his tail.
And the Head CIA is Keith David’s Beale, who just happens to be John’s former boss.
Ooops number 1.
And it turns out that that Reese and Kara Stanton were the CIA Operatives who were ordered to look into the older Duncan and John shot him dead.
Ooooppps number 2.
So while we don’t care that much about Alex Duncan here, it’s a fascinating look again into John Reese’s past and his psyche and while he may want a normal life, deep down, he doesn’t think he can have it or deserves it.
Hence, his kiss off to Iris the therapist this episode.
I must admit that I was little surprised when it did turn out that the elder Duncan was selling out his country but I suppose that I can’t really argue with John’s decision to give Alex what he needed instead of what he wanted.
Meanwhile, Finch and Root manage to intercept and copy one of Samaritan’s malware installs and they are (cautiously) seeing what it does in a controlled environment.
Always glad to see Keith David and he didn’t disappoint here.
I also found it interesting that Beale has decided to keep the fact that John’s alive to himself (at least for now).
