I really love this episode a lot. I especially loved the main storyline with Joey and the team of robbers with whom Reese infiltrates to protect Joey as best as he can. Joey is a really good character and I liked how noble he was for taking care of his friend's wife and daughter after his friend is killed in Afghanistan. But I also love how Reese struggles to convince Joey to let go of his guilt. As for the scene with Joey's girlfriend, it was meant to help Reese learn if she is as loyal to Joey as he was to her. Because Reese is trying to figure out if Joey really does deserve to be saved. Reese knows Joey will have to go to prison if Joey doesn't quit, but he's looking for information to help him decided whether or not Joey deserves his help to leave New York under a new name and with a new life for him and his girlfriend. There were a lot of twist and turns like you stated and I love it that you weren't able to predict what was happening as well as you can in most of your reactions. That was great! As for Carter... I promise you that her character grows and gets better as the show continues. She won't be a wasted character for long. And Fusco wasn't in this episode, but he too gets better as this season continues. I love Castle a lot too, so it was great to see Captain Montgomery make an appearance in this episode. And he was not a good guy, who died at the hands of his own boss, which sets up a big mystery involving some named Elias, and upcoming story arc. This show's only getting better. :) Thank you so much for this reaction! I'm so happy that you enjoyed this episode more than the first two. I can't wait for more. Until next time...

This show is the definition of slow burn. Just be patient and keep paying attention to the interaction between the main cast and you will be rewarded. In each episode, there’s the story of the week which is resolved by the end or reveals something about an ongoing plot (like this one), then there’s the backstory of Reese and Finch and the machine that get revealed little by little. For example, something you missed the last time, was that the “irrelevant” number that Finch was discussing with his friend/front man, was the woman that Reese was involved with (the one we see with him in the flashbacks).

the definition of slow burn - totally agree. The writers snuck in a long form, high concept story under the door of a seemingly innocuous little procedural show. I think it was somewhere around the 6th or 7th episode that I started to get really hooked in. I know lots of people fell off this show after 3 or 4 eps - I very nearly did, I only kept watching for Michael Emerson (Ben LInus). So glad I did, and I managed t opersuade a couple of people who'd stopped at ep 4 to give it another go and they ended up big fans.

Also - be patient with Taraji - they're drip feeding at the moment - things start to interlace more as the show progresses and side characters start to come to the fore.

Agree with the others. You said the pilot felt a bit rushed which it kinda was. But with other things like Taraji, they're going at a slower pace. However they do so with a route in mind, they're not drifting her character.

I'd agree with the previous comments about the show being a slow burn, but it is important to understand what the show is actually about, thematically. It's an episodic crime show because those get ratings, and it's a serialized show with story arcs that are dealt with over multiple episodes because that maintains an audience, and it's character-driven in the sense that you understand the main characters better as you learn more about their histories, because you're more likely to watch a show when you're invested in the characters. That's the TV stuff. But it's not the theme of the show. The theme of the show is the exploration of artificial intelligence, and the implications of building machines that are so beyond human capabilities that we are not equipped to comprehend their functionalities. The algorithms that determine what shows up on your Facebook feed are already so sophisticated that Facebook can't explain them, for example. This show was ahead of its time in exploring these problems, and when you do get into them, some of the implications are horrifying. There are plenty of TED talks about the issues with machine learning as we continue to progress the technology in this area. Here is one. These are the sorts of questions that should be borne in mind while watching POI. https://www.ted.com/talks/sam_harris_can_we_build_ai_without_losing_control_over_it/discussion?language=en#t-848966 Great show, and not given enough credit for its importance, probably because at a glance it looks a lot like the dozen or so other "solve the crime with the assistance of some special ability" network TV dramas. It's definitely quite a bit more than that.
