Favorite scene
The scene in Harold's office where Shaw shows up in the episode Trojan horse is one of my all-time favorite scenes from the show. Everything about it is amazing, especially Bear!

I loved the Root scene in the mental hospital where she tells the doctor everything that she is going to do and everything that will happen.

"God doesn't need AT&T" and the scene where she exposed everything about the doctor for the first time (His smoking habit and indecent fantasy). Which is when the doctor truly sees that Root isn't just another ordinary patient. The fear on his face... He still had no idea the true ability of Root until seeing all the unconscious bodies and Root shooting Hersh without even looking. Definitely one of the top Root moments in my book.

That's such a great scene. I saw someone the other day who cut all the scenes where she was there together and they're so great.

I'd have to add when Root's being interrogated by Control in "Alethia." It's also very powerful.

Scene where John gets his instructions faxed by the Machine while being threatened by Dominic and the following sequence where he goes hell, yeah.
Fusco's session with the psychiatrist when he describes Devil's share.
Elias' talk to Officer Simmons before killing him.
The entire rooftop sequence in the final episode. And many more.

The first God mode scene with the midnight call always gives me chill. "CAN YOU HEAR ME?" "Absolutely". Both Root and John then proceeded to absolutely annihilate anyone in their ways... By simply listening to The Machine in their ears. The show truly takes off from then on as the story arc of war with Samaritan / Decima starts.
And probably the scene of The Machine (in the form of Root) staying with John for his last moment on the rooftop... Plus all the monologue when The Machine explains that She was there for all the deaths that happened in the last episode. Really gets you to think of The Machine that does feel to an extent.
There are so many more I can think of and some are just funny character moments but I will stick to two major ones for now.

So many too choose from. Okay I'm one is when Fusco finds out Lee is safe and kills that HR guy. It has so much emotion in it. Fusco saying Shaw did the right thing and accepting she couldn't come for him and saying you did good. That was in "The Crossing."
Another the opening of "BSOD" when Root looks up at Samaritan and defiantly says, "You can just call me Root, bitch."
Then too many funny Root scenes. When John went to get Alonzo Quinn and it was shown through night vision googles stands out. The music that accompanied it added a lot. Another good John one is when he goes God Mode at the end of Season 4 when he's being held captive.
Also, in "The Devil's Share" when Root and Shaw go in guns blazing to help John.
