It would tell Reese either where Finch was or was last seen. But for the machine to be swayed by Reese's emotional appeals and then dribble out clues to the background of Root instead of just saying where Finch is/was makes no sense at all.
I won't even get into the fact that no casino in the world would let Finch win hundreds of thousands of dollars while obviously getting clues from a buzzing cell phone.

I've been very disappointing in all the other stuff, Castle, Hawaii Five -O, Bones,Ncis, Ncis LA, Vegas and on and on. Some are getting tired, some so convoluted you need a score card to keep track of the players and weird plot twists. While there are some faults with this show I'm more than willing to overlook them when the overall action and plotting is first rate.

Yep, they picked right up where they left off and are in mid-season form.  That Aryan Nation badass was huge, though the riot gun was up to the task.  I like the dog as well and hope he sticks around.  "I bet you don't speak Dutch, do you?" 

Amy Acker has improved with age from her Angel days.

I liked the doggie too. He seems to be a four legged version of Reese.

One thing I'm wondering is if the next episode will return to last year's formula of the machine spitting out people in trouble and them trying to protect those people or something else? With the drama of the season ender and the first two episodes this year, it might seem anti-climatic to go back to that even though that's the formula we all like. Just something to ponder.

The old I'm going to kill you/do nasty things to you/whatever until you escape. At that point I'll disappear until I'm needed again.

You said it well. Not bad, but not great. Texas rednecks may have been the best part.

Okay, I'm a usage snob, BUT the word you want is anticlimactic, NOT anti-climatic. As was said by one of my teachers and drummed into my brain, "You are not opposed to the weather, are you?" and climate is a weather related term. Climax is a dramatic term, so an anti-climax, the word now coined as anticlimactic, properly expresses what you are saying.

Yes she is, and yes she is! I'm sure she'll be back eventually.
My wife is SOOO hoping that the dog stays. She loves the dog (Bear) and how it interacts with everybody. Fusco with the English-to-Dutch pocket dictionary really made her laugh--A LOT!

They had to show outside of the warehouse with some gunshot flashes while Reese, being an unarmed prisoner, killed all the bad guys who had guns and walked out with the two guys he came to rescue.
In a past episode, our "hero" Reese walked into a US Marshals office, beat up a bunch of US Marshals and walked out like it's a walk in the park. Eyewitnesses and surveillance cameras don't exist in this case. It's the US Marshal, the agency charged with capturing fugitives that he took on.
For fans of Burn Notice who have been complaining how unrealistic and laughable some of the actions in that show have become, watch this show and you might find that those ludicrous actions might not be so bad by comparison.

I adore Amy Acker, however I'd had more than enough of Root after 2 episodes, hopefully the character will never come back.

Just like The Terminator, she'll be back.

When they were showing the flashbacks of Finch in Vegas right after he lost all the money and was outside, did anyone else think when he was about to cross the street and the machine told him to hold, he was going to be hit by the drunk driver and that would have been what led to his injury? As soon as I saw that I said "Here it goes, this is how it happens." Guess they got me on that one.
