There's always a voice over, but there is a clue in each intro that leads into the upcoming episode. And sometimes, even the voiceovers change too. But nonetheless... it's completely up to you as to whether or not you wish to continue watching them. Just so you're aware, Jessie. :) Thank you! Sincerely, Heidi

2022-07-12 00:26:28 +0000 UTCGhosts- Thank you so much, Jessie! I really enjoyed your reaction for this episode very much. As always, this episode for this show is really great, and I am absolutely loving your reactions for these first two episodes so far. :) Reese and Finch are both such intricate and unique characters whom I really love, as I love the actors who play them too. Especially Jim Caviezel who plays Reese. I love how mysterious they both are and how much of a badass Reese is. Even when he loses, he's still amazing! I really love Theresa's character in this episode. She's got spunk, as well as a hardness to her that is most certainly understandable. And you can absolutely see that she is a girl who's been on the run, struggling to survive for the last two years, especially upon witnessing her family being killed in front of her. Regarding your issues with Reese renting out the entire floor of this fancy hotel... First, Reese tells Finch that he had charged the rooms on this floor to one of Finch's many credit cards, and if you remember from the Pilot episode, Finch had given Reese a number of credits cards all under multiple fake names. Which means that Finch must have multiple cards under fake names himself. Reese could have used any one of them. The hitman most likely didn't have the means or knowhow to look for unusual credit card activity. Plus... Calhoun, or the men who hired this hitman to take out Theresa upon learning she was still alive, weren't part of the government. They were a high level insurance agency. The same insurance agency pretended to work for when Finch went to talk with Theresa's aunt. They do take a lot of high risks, where they could be seen by countless and possible unknown enemies at any given moment. Especially Reese, because he's the one who is more out and about doing all of the leg work, while Finch remains inside the library doing all of the behind the scenes kind of work with the Machine and his computers most of the time. Unless Reese needs him to help him out in the field like he did for this episode. So yes... they do take a lot of high risks. However, it's always to help people. Because it's necessary for them to. They risk their lives constantly all in order to help those who need them, no matter the risks. Especially Reese. As for what Finch tells his friend, Nathan, about the Machine, and what they built it for within the flashbacks... Finch is saying that he built it to help save everyone... meaning multiple people by preventing terrorist attacks like on 9/11. Not for simply saving one person at a time. However, at some point later down the road, the individuals whose numbers keep coming up and then are getting erased every night at midnight, eventually comes to take too much of a toll on him as well, just like we can see that they had for Nathan very early on. Finch's guilt clearly has become too much for him too. Hence the reason why Finch has now hired Reese to help him save these individuals, knowing he can't do so on his own. Because Finch isn't faking his injury by any means, and he is not combat trained in any way. He's told Reese how much he hates guns. I completely understand both Finch's and Nathan's points of view regarding the numbers and how they should be dealt with. Me as a person... I would feel as Nathan feels. I would never be able to accept allowing a single person to die if there was any small chance I could save them. But at the same time... Finch is right to believe that it would be far too difficult for them to fight to save everyone, and that it's easier and perhaps even smarter for them to try to save multiple people and not just one person. As for this episode's main storyline with the young woman, Theresa... I really love how brave she is and of course I understand why she doesn't trust so easily. It's so sad, but I'm so happy that she still has family she could return to once Reese and Finch saved her life and stopped the bad guys. Such a beautiful moment in the end when she and her aunt are reunited. I love how Carter is still looking for Reese, otherwise known as "the man in the suit". And yet Reese is always two steps ahead of her. Then he later calls Carter to get her to come out and find the girl, knowing that she would be safe with Carter. I also love how Reese uses Fusco to get information. I love the banter between them. In regards to Finch's friend and business partner, Nathan, within the flashbacks... I really enjoy his character a lot as well. I know he's also from Lost, as you will come to see a number of the guest stars within this show are. And I remember becoming so intrigued by who Nathan is to Finch, as well as to the Machine. And as for who the bust is of shown in the ending... It's of Nathan, Finch's close friend and business partner. Finally letting us know who it was Finch claims to have lost, and who's death had caused him to change his entire attitude towards who he's now fighting to save. The question is... How and why did Nathan die? I really love the backstory with Finch and his friend who we learn was once the face of their business, and how his friend is the one who shows regret and sadness that Finch appears to be able to suppress any emotion towards those who are deemed irrelevant by the Machine. The mystery behind Finch's story arc is most definitely intriguing. One of my favorite scenes comes in the very beginning when Reese saves the cheating husband in the elevator. I also really love Reese's' scenes with Detective Fusco too. As well as the ending between Carter and Theresa, who is simply seeking to be protected and safe again at last. As for how Carter would have known to go up to the girl in the park... Carter catches wind of this case aside from simply finding the "man in the suit" was the uncle after the uncle wound up dead and she would have learned about the girl and possibly that she was still alive and being chased after during her search for answers. Upon seeing the girl from her case in the distance, Carter knew why Reese had called her there to the park was so she could help her, and she immediately goes over to do so. Plus... the girl is wearing a suit jacket, which is a bit unusual unless something traumatic might have happened. Carter knows that Reese is a very dangerous man, because not only did he take out the thugs from the subway train twice, but she's also discovered evidence of Reese having been involved in dozens of crimes in some way, upon his fingerprints being found at many crime scenes over the years. In regards to Theresa's uncle and him getting killed by the hitman for refusing to talk... while he is despicable for getting so caught up with these bad guys and because he allowed his brother to get in so deep with these other criminals who eventually come to killing him and his family, I still always wind up feeling bad for him in the scene towards the end of this episode. Not only because he's killed, but more so because I appreciate how he finally stands up for his niece and tries to protect her, in spite of recognizing he's about to die. He didn't deserve to die, that's for sure. I love Reese's fight with the hitman inside the laundromat, and seeing Reese even fail to outmatch him when they're fighting hand to hand, only for Reese to suddenly shoot him in his chest after being thrown through the glass window, showing us that Reese will definitely kill if he has to. And in his killer's case... Reese had no choice but to kill him in both fights, as the killer survives the laundromat fight because he is wearing a bulletproof vest, then is finally later killed inside the hotel once Reese shoots him first in the leg to take him down, then in the chest to stop him once and for all before he takes his chance to kill Theresa and Finch. This show is full of brilliant fight scenes. As well as the acting. So, so, so incredible. :) Oh, and lastly... I absolutely love the scene outside of the bar between Reese and Fusco, when Fusco questions Reese's plan to walk inside looking for answers about who killed Theresa's family. Reese is stoically humorous, while Fusco just looks back at him through the rearview mirror like he's crazy, as Reese looks at him as well. I love it!! I absolutely love the dry, witty humor all throughout this show!! Thank you so much again, my dear friend! I look forward to more reactions from you for this phenomenal show I love so much! :) Until next time, Jessie... Sincerely, Heidi
