1) Yes
2) Root is the 'Analogue' Interface
3) The goal of the machine is to protect people. Root gets the 'Relevant' numbers (SSNs of terrorists) and Harold get 'Irrelevant' numbers (regular people that are in danger or endangering others). The machine protects itself also, but it's hinted that it does so to remain available to protect others. I would guess it will eventually sacrifice itself to save Harold (but may only do so after it 'creates' a replacement.
4) The machine is still giving out numbers, but the government is just no longer 'listening.'
5) Samaritan
6) They want access to all information to sell/control, Harold is actively trying to stop them.
7) It's JJ Abrams... Please see Lost, Fringe, etc...

This show started with a very simple theme and I really liked it. Now the show is extremely convoluted and I can't figure out what's going on. So here is my list of questions:
1. Is the machine Root talks to the same as the machine Harold talks to?
2. If so why does the machine talk to Root differently than it talks to Harold?
3. What is the goal of the machine that works with Root?
4. Is the Northern Lights machine totally out of the picture at this point?
5. Does the machine run by the evil corporation (can't remember who that is) have a name?
6. Why do they want Harold?
7. Did they fire the original writers/producers? The show has a very disjointed and confusing format this year.
I could probably come up with a lot more questions. I'm very confused at this point.
