And WHAT THE HELL is that stupidity with the payphone? Harold's so cautious about the machine, why on Earth would he do something as utterly and insanely unbelievably idiotic as base full-control access on something as random as who answers a PUBLIC GODDAMN PAYPHONE at some random moment in the future, with not even a password protect or ANYTHING?
Yeah, that was nonsense -- except I'm pretty sure there's something else going on. Like Nathan said: there's always two layers with him.
We finally have an explanation for the fact that they don't even get notice whether someone's victim or perpetrator!
You're right! We've known from the start that it was Nathan who built the backdoor, but I didn't really think about the consequences.
Although the backdoor works completely differently now than it did then. Nathan sent the numbers directly to one specific address, which is laughably insecure so Harold had to shut it down. But we have no indication that he changed anything - he just closed it. So are we to believe that the machine came up with the whole payphone library code thing by itself?
