the 'Can you hear me?' 'Hell yes' moment is one of my favorite POI bits, ever.

Please make a top 50 characters list. I want to see more characters from Lost in there 😂😁

This was the reaction I was waiting for. Were it me watching, my tears couldn't be held back. "Father" just kills me every time, and then it gets worse and worse. Such epic storytelling. The machine, in my mind, is one of the best written sci-fi "alien" characters to date. Sure, Yoda is cool, Gremlins and Mogwais are fun, and Aliens and Predators are damn scary, but even Drac from Enemy Mine is a pittance of a "person" compared to the machine IMO.

I can't watch the scene without tearing up. Truly incredible writing and portrayal. People talk about GOT weddings and I'm like "pfft." Nothing compares to the end of this season and the amazing use of my favorite band's song. The only thing that comes close is Luke falling in Empire Strikes back after being confronted by Vader.

His thoughts about the finale are in a separate link beneath the video.

I'm still hoping you one day give us a top 10 or 15 anime characters list ;)

God damn I can't believe we made it to season 5. I'm so glad you've loved the show so far and that you're also reworking on your top characters list!

I said it one and I'll say it again. I do feel sorry for Control. Damn...that was harsh.

Oh man, I remember the desperate wait for any word from CBS. The whole year that followed was 'CBS hate' time for me.
Having to live with that final shot as the last thing we saw of POI would have been awful and awesome simultaneously.

And Jimmy, if Finch is on the list, does that mean a double whammy for Mr. Emerson? Because surely, the Great Ben Linus should be on every GOAT character list ever!

Had forgotten just how obnoxious Greer looked throughout this episode. Good job, Uncle Nolan! Control really should have shot him on sight.
Love that this episode is titled YHWH, which means the one true God. On the surface, the winner here is the false God, but the one true God still has a heartbeat.
I love how you called Harold The Machine's dad in the last episode without knowing what was coming. Proof that this was earned!

Loved this finale. And after this, we had to wait so long for the next season, and if there even was going to be one. There was no announcement for a renewal for a while and I think we were all getting pretty nervous. Finally, to our (mostly) relief, it was renewed, but for only for half a season - and we knew that that very likely meant it would be the last.

That scene with Harold and the Machine is hands down my favourite scene of all POI. It always gets me. Harold finally realising he loves his creation and wants it to survive is beautiful. The fact this show made you care so much for a machine is astonishing. Proves right the words of Arthur Claypool (remember him?), it's all electricity, we are all electricity, does it make you laugh, does it makes you weep? What's more human than that?

Me: I never get emotional from a TV sho-
Machine: Father
Me: I'M NOT CRYING, YOU ARE! ;_;

Probably my favorite season finale of the show, but they're all great. Can't wait for next episode.
