Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved


* NotSoDifferent: Claire and Root (even {{lampshade|Hanging}}d by the latter).



* ShadowArchetype: Justified as Samaritan is recruiting its own version of Team Machine. Claire has Root's fearlessness and unquestioning obedience, Finch's hacking skills, and like Reese in the pilot she's DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife after a personal tragedy. The NotSoDifferent parallels are shown when Samaritan leaks the documents to the media at the end, just like Team Machine would.

Added DiffLines:

* InTheHood: Claire puts her hood up to try to keep the PrivateMilitaryContractors who want her dead from spotting her. It only serves to highlight her more as the weather is bright and sunny - but it also hides Shaw's face from the audience when she draws several mooks away until she gets in the elevator.

* DoWellButNotPerfect: Root warns Shaw that there are two things she must avoid in the criminal career that is part of her cover: Getting caught and being too good at ''not'' getting caught, as the latter will raise Samaritan's interest.

* HollywoodHacking: But of course, doubly so because Finch broke his compromised computer ''without'' taking the time to wipe the hard drive. At least he took the precaution of using a clean computer without identifying information on it.
