Here are the official promo pics for ep 3x07:

Ok saw it live again but missed some things.
I like watching live due to the quality of picture, but dont enjoy it as much  with commercial breaks and missing things. So may stop that.

Now.... 1st the previews for the next show/shows.
It said it was a "3 episode event", meaning, I guess a story that will cover the next 3 eps.
but it also showed the title "Endgame "
53     3-08                12/Nov/13   Endgame
54     3-09                19/Nov/13   The Crossing
55     3-10                26/Nov/13   The Devil's Share

In the previews it shows that maybe Fusco gets killed off ! which is a possibility, but however one I dont care for.

Now tonights show was a good one, we had some root/ finch conversations, a good story with a twist at the end.
But now to play "Losa" , also some flaws.
1. Harold says root is in "library" jail because she hurts others?
 Shaw is way worse than root, especially since the machine reformed root.( Shaw and reese killed 4 cops tonight!...oops  
 Also it is for her own good??
2. Way too many cops killed in this one (6?) , and they act like it is nothing.
  Even if they are HR cops, they are still cops, and if one cop is killed, they go bonkers trying to find out who killed them and catch or kill that person.
In the scene where shaw shoots 2 and then reese hits the 3rd with chair, That was use of deadly force, and really they should stun them for it to be more realistic.

Ok now the end, 2 more cops dead, and one is the kid who had turned good! wow that was unexpected and  I think a little too soon, wait longer and make the audience really like him.
and now carter knows who the head bad guy is finally.
Well that is all for now.

So the other things I would like to know is
1.what the machine thinks about root not being in contact?
2.Will root go back to her previous ways if locked up too long?
3.Will or can the machine help root escape??

Well, T5000, you playing "Losa" might have been the flawed thing ...   But at least you admitted it right from the start ... "missed some things" ...  Indeed you did!
Maybe you really shouldn't watch it live then ...  
Your body count for the cops is completely wrong. If you have noticed, Reese only uses knee shots to bring down his opponents/enemies since quite some time (except there's absolutely no other option than a deadly shot) and Shaw adapted to that procedure.
Now, the two masked dirty cops who tried to kill the con man at his office are not dead at all. One got shot into his knee/leg by Shaw (just look a the angle of Shaws gun when she fired!) and the other one got shot into his shoulder by Reese and then additionally knocked out by Reese with a fist punch (why would Reese knock out a guy, who he - with his fine skills - already had hit with a deadly shot??).
Then Terney and the two dirty cops, who were with the con man checking the authenticity of that ball. The two again clearly were shot by Reese and Shaw into there knees/legs from behind (come on, T5000, Reese and Shaw just don't kill someone with a shot in the back!). And Terney was knocked out by Reese with the chair, what wasn't deadly at all again, because how would a dead Terney have reported to Simmons shortly after that and finally showed up at Carter's and Laskey's meeting???
And finally Carter killing Terney?? You seriously have a problem with that?? If that wasn't self defence (and trying to defend Laskey), then I don't know.
So the correct "body count" of cops is ... one dirty cop (Terney) killed (while shooting/killing Laskey) in self defence by Carter and one (Laskey) murdered by the dirty cop (Terney).
That is what you call flawed, because two many (6) cops killed by Reese and Shaw? Well, no offense, but you seriously have to re-watch the ep ...

Also, even if (what wasn't the case) e. g. the two cops at the con man's office were dead, I don't see HR having the police go bonkers on that case, because then they would have to explain what these dirty cops had to do at the con mans office shooting everything into the ground. No, they just would have cleaned up the mess and that's it. But that's just hypothetically, because they are not dead. Rather maybe killed later by Simmons on order of Quinn for failure on a "job" (killing the con man) ...

Whoa ... that looks damn exciting, but don't think it's Fusco to get killed ... would be way too obvious ... no, I guess it might be Carter     !!!???
The question for me also is, how do I manage to spare up these next three eps to have the outstanding joy of watching them all in a row ...

Well they dont say anyone gets killed , but if one character was to be written out it would be fusco.
To be honest Shaw has been a little boring, I think she had more impact as a occasional guest star.
I think they made Amy a regular to keep her on the show, but dont know what do do with her as a regular.
Amy has way more personality than shaw.
Fusco I like , so I think they should keep him around.
By bringing in new people they have maybe alienated the original core audience that like the show they way it was in the 1st season.
I can see where shaw has taken away from the reese character, he gets less screen time and has to share the bad ass role
with shaw.
to be honest I am surprised at the screen time of shahi, she might get more than any of the others?

Ok I will get back to topic, the next 3 eps I was sort of guessing that it is a 3 ep story, and it would be nice to see all 3 at once but that would mean waiting until Dec to watch them ! lol
Actually the best thing is just wait until S-3 comes out on dvd and watch them all in on week or 2.
but if you do that you have to forget talking about it.
I am just a little miffed they killed laskey just as I was starting to like him!

Oh and about the shootings, yeah they were not kill shots, one even looked to be in the foot, but the guys just drop silent like that would knock them out too??
I think the HR story need to be wrapped up, they dont need that and it is getting old.
Heck all they need to do is tell shaw and root to eliminate HR and Root can go back to machine, and shaw can kill as many as she wants to. they would wipe out HR in a very short time.
