I think either the husband and/or rapist from the 4th ep of first season are in the Mexican gaol that we've saw Reese get the abusive Marshall locked up in, the warden told Joss that there were other Americans there.
Further confirmation that John doesn't keep grudges, and he doesn't really do revenge. The second Root wasn't a danger to Harold anymore, he was patching up her wounds and letting her go. I continue to not believe that he killed Jessica's husband, either.
WORD. Except I still kinda like him for Jessica's husband. It was the way he told the guy in Foe that revenge wouldn't work, because what about tomorrow? It makes me think he did kill Arndt and it wrecked him the next day, because he was still a killer and he still had nothing. And then it was *Finch* who made him change, to believe he *could* be better, so when 104 happened he made a different choice.
I'm not married to the idea, though. Either way, I love John's face so hard it hurts. ♥
That said. I still makes LESS THAN ZERO sense that Harold tied the admin power to the machine to whatever random person answers a random unprotected payphone. Okay, it worked out IN THIS CASE, but there were a billion ways this could have gone wrong, and Harold's paranoid enough to have thought
( ... )
Whoops, belay my last: they did definitely have admin access, because there was that graphic when Root's expired. Okay, so probably just a delaying mechanism.

True. And the show of trust for Harold was really impressive. I really liked that last scene, their bond is not easily destroyed.

Honestly, I was way too tired to think through that. But I think the machine doesn't even have anything important to share that needs protecting, to be honest. Except its own location and they mentioned that it cannot give out information about that. They did not try to change the machine in any way, so we have no information about whether they actually had the rights to do that. Answering their questions is nothing administrative.

I don't think it did give out Admin power. At that point, the machine was already its own Admin. It didn't need anyone anymore. I think the admin power through answering a pay phone was a carrot, Harold dangled in front of anyone who knew about the countdown to give the Machine some more time to take care of itself. I think he was hoping that if he would have answered the phone himself, he would still have some sort of control over the Machine, because he programmed it and all, and the Machine "recognized" him. But other than that, I think he knew if it's out there, it's out there and there is no going back.
