Thinking about his show again, and gave it a shout out here:
Season finale had The Machine surviving albeit at least transiently diminished as a version of itself on a satellite still working to fulfill its mission. It’s having grown in ways Finch never intended. And having been raised by Finch, which also presumes having curiosity.
Where do you think a sequel would go, from there?
This really is the show’s time, for where it went more than where it started.
(I feel weird spoilering a show this old, but … and apologies that even linking the thread I mentioned it in is a spoiler.)
