She seemes to be shot in the above preview video ... but you're right, she should be safe.

Well on these tv shows, getting shot is usually ok. LOL.
Seems like a long time since the last ep, I hate all these little breaks.
Even when you like a show it is hard to stay interested if it does not air every week, or has more than 1 or 2 breaks in that weekly rhythm.

Some on bates motel complained of the show moving so fast, but it is only 10 eps, and it airs every week, so it does seem fast, but no breaks!!!!!
It is good, you should have watched it and americans.

Samaritan is online!!

harold is the first target!

I fell asleep during the show, but I think the machine wanted them to kill the senator and they didnt?

No I was watching live and dozed off during a commercial.

I have now seen it and it was pretty good, harold is against killing, so we will see how this plays out.
I figure even if they kill the guy, decima would just find another way to get what they want.
The key is to take out decima and its leaders!!!!!!!!!!!
not much root but better than nothing.

I was over at the imdb boards, and shaw is not to popular there.

Well the dilemma of whether to take out the Congressman Roger McCourt or not was tough for Reese and Shaw and a no go for Finch. If Reese and or Shaw were alone with him I know they probably would have. But he and the Vigilance "Cochroach" guy were "saved". It will probably bite them in the bottom later. Then he helping John Greer convince Senator Ross H. Garrison to let Samaritan go. Wonder if Garrison will change his mind on Northern Lights now? I thought McCourts security man Dolan would be a problem.
When the union head Bruce Dunphy talked to McCourt I thought he was going to sock him.

On the escape Shaw getting shot I thought from what Reese said in the commercial( I know they mix things up) about "Sacrificing one to save many" I figured she was dead. Glad Finch took care of her.
After Reese and Shaw take out the drug sale, it was funny Root rides up and needs Shaw's help and called Reese, "Lerch".
With Decima's Samaritan up and going they may have to protect Peter Collier now? But I know Greer is after Finch first.
