S01 Notes "What do you become then?"

Kallie 2022-11-18 09:17:45

Once the S01 is finished, it is difficult to come out. If you think about it, you should brush it again and leave some more delicate records.

The whole season is about trust issues, the relationship between people and artificial intelligence, and "When that person is taken from you, what do you become then?" Reese lost that fixed-point coordinate, lost the only emotional connection with the world, what kind of person he became. And Finch appeared and gave Reese a purpose. After a job, what kind of existence is Reese changing into? What has not been pointed out, and how did Finch become what it is today, dedicated to saving the irrelevant list? Is it the life and separation of his fiancée, or the death of his best friend Nathan? It's always a fog, a piece of it.
