SUMMARY: John and Finch discuss the machine
Now that Finch was back and Root was safely dealt with, John could vent some of his pent-up frustration regarding his ordeal and the machine's recalcitrance in aiding in Finch’s rescue.
John was surprised when told about Finch’s instructions to the machine regarding his safety (John would have to find a way to address that with the machine. Finch might want to be kept in the dark but John would certainly appreciate a heads up to any perceived threat)
He was amused when Finch shared a little bit about his “training” of the machine. Although John knew from bitter personal experience that Finch didn’t need any outside help to win at cards --the wily genius could count cards and calculate the odds almost as swiftly as his creation. Then he was struck by an idle thought…
“Hey Finch, did you ever teach your machine to play tic-tac-toe?”
“No Mr Reese, and we never simulated Global Thermonuclear War either”
“So, if the computer in the movie War Games was the WOPR, does that make your machine the Big Mac?”
