>>82012678
OP is talking bullshit because once she becomes a bigger part of the show is when it starts to get really good. She represents its turn from procedural with a gimmick to full blown sci-fi.

>its a root saves the day while wearing leather, flirts with shaw, calls finch harry, and calls reese a big lug episode

>>82011504
There was a period between her beginning arc and the somewhat redeeming ending arc that was a little cringeworthy. Though losing a character like Carter would throw any series into a tailspin.

>>82012724
She had nothing to do with the show becoming great tv sci-fi. That was the writers...but, yeah her character becomes great, especially when she dies and transcends her human body.

She was, too bad she was barely in it though.

>>82015909
I understand why people hated her when she was introduced; she was despicable and stood in the way of /ourguys/.
That being said, her guidance of the Machine and transformation/redemption through it easily makes her the best character (or at least equal to Finch) by season 4.

In the end, she is responsible for the Machine winning instead of being obsolete.

>Machine
SHE

>>82016699
She wasn't guiding the Machine though. That was Harolds fear, but it turned out the Machine changed her, not the other way around. So I don't know how she was responsible for it winning.

I once read a really interesting fan theory/explanation for how the Machine won, don't remember all the details, but it basically boiled down to The Machine was just better optimized than Samaritan. It had been forced to live in power lines and move around constantly and operate within all kinds of restrictions, meanwhile Samaritan was just operating on massive state of the art server farms and stuff like that.

Idk, I thought it was a neat idea

>>82016972
Well, she catalyzed Finch into accepting the Machine as a moral being instead of just some Frankenstein creature with some utilitarian purpose. Plus, I like to think that the Machine beat Samaritan because of what she actually did (hard-coding the ability for it to defend itself), because that makes the most sense narratively, IMO.
In the end, Root got what she wanted, released the Machine, and ensured the legacy of everyone.

>>82013342
As I recall, this isn't supposed to be real, even within the show. It's a computer working out scenarios. An enjoyable episode.

>>82011439
She seems like one of those (insert a quirky girl for no reason types) is she? I only watched a few of the early episodes of this show.

Root is definitely quirky, but it's not "haha so random xD" quirky. She's quirky because she's an amoral zealot who worships an AI as a god. Atleast at first.

>>82017717
It's one of the better episodes of tv, atleast a network TV show I've seen in a long time. But nobody would know that, because all that ever gets posted of it is that one admittedly pretty poorly done scene.

>>82017954
Ok thanks, I get what you're saying there, well explained.

I'm going to get around to watching all of this show when I'm in the mood for a marathon session. Because the few episodes I watched, I enjoyed.

>>82017966
In the sense that she was some sort of shut-in growing up who learned early on to hate people and only interacted with them manipulatively.

>>82015432
This is very John Hinckley and Jodie Foster.

Call it as I see it, whale biologist.

>>82018203
>shut-in
she was at the library most of the time
she had a friend she wanted to scissor
she only hates people because she thinks shes above them
>blonde 12 year old girl is a genius hacker
>this is somehow believable

>>82018300
She hated people because her friend she wanted to scissor was raped and murdered and when she tried to tell the nearest adult about it she got chewed out.

That would probably fuck a kid up pretty good

>>82018300
>she was at the library most of the time
When her friend was alive. Her mom became sick or something and had to be taken care of by her after IIRC and she doesn't appear publicly after.

She hates people because of what they did to her BFF or what they didn't do when she reported that librarian's pedo husband.
She just found an exploit in the game at age 12, not exactly some over-the-top display of impossible intelligence.

Its sad how underrated it is, but then thats what it gets for being on CBS. If a show isn't on HBO or one of the other premium channels it gets ignored now.
