Are there any POIs that you wish the Team Machine DID NOT save?

>!For me, it's Graham Wyler/Lloyd Pruitt and the Drakes. Most people either not notice or ignore it, but the truth is, the Machine's irrelevant numbers are predominantly people who are connected to or are threatened by organized crime, involved in banking, finances, critical infrastructure and enemies of the Machine like Decima Technologies. !<

>!Lloyd Pruitt... he's not exactly a bad guy, but the team wastes too much time and money on him, an ordinary thief and a safecracker. Nothing important was at stake there. Team Machine could've saved maybe a dozen or two of other people (I don't think Lloyd's friends would've murdered anyone else aside from him at the party) within that time frame instead. With Tomas Koroa it was justified, given what he stole. !<

>!The Drakes and the Watkinses totally deserved what was coming to them. In the Drakes's case, even John of all people questions whether saving them from themselves is a right thing to do. And Finch probably could've bought Drakes's company anyway if they died. !<

S2E13 Dead Reckoning, I have a question...

>!Why couldn't Kara Stanton just jump out from her car instead of wasting precious seconds trying to disarm Mark Snow's bomb vest? Okay, maybe he'd just follow her outside (although he does care about not getting innocent civilians probably killed in the process). Then shoot Snow and get out. She had at least 5 seconds to do so after Snow started talking and she noticed him. Also, while the bomb was powerful, it;s not like Kara couldn't have gotten far enough. Even the car behind hers would've protected her from the blast wave. Watch the security camera footage from the end of the episode, 17:11:24 - Kara closes the door of her car, 17:11:34 - the explosion. And don't get me started on how a trained CIA agent never spotted a person hiding inside the car from outside. Yes, she was on the phone and it was evening, but still! !<
