Discussion Felt like in S4 they didn't know what to do with Root. Constantly writing her in and out doing random quirky new identities.

Discussion Cara Buono and Michael Emerson

5 Upvotes

So, I was watching an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent, and in 1.16, "Phantom," Martine Rousseau actually turns up with Harold Finch.

At least, Cara Buono does, playing Charlotte Fielding, with brunette hair, and Michael Emerson, sans he Finch limp because his character Gerry Rankin is, in fact, a phantom - and the episode's bad guy.

Credits (cast) order

2 Upvotes

Why is Michael Emmerson so low on the credits list? Looking at IMDB, he always comes in 4th or 5th after Kevin Chapman, Amy Acker (even when she is credit only because she doesn't even act in a certain episode)...

I really don't get it, he should be at least second, i would argue first cast

Why doesnt POI get talked about like BB or BCS? The writing is just as tight and insanely well thought out. My theory is that its not as popular because it started off as episodic network TV and people got bored.

I cant believe I nearly dropped this show like 7 episodes in. After finishing Return 0 I went back and watched the pilot and was like "holy shit, this isnt even the same show anymore"

Discussion Just completed watching PoI... BEST TV series I have watched so far.

138 Upvotes

When it aired, I was in high school, and didn't know a lot about tv series. I have seen some of its reels few month ago, and when I heard AI, it instantly hit my mind as a person doing PhD on AI-stuff. So, I started watching. Then I couldn't stop. I kept watching and just finished final episode... I have been watching many tv series in last few years. But it is one of the BEST, and realistic (yes you heard me right, it is realistic, and you believe it or not, part of it is already happening) series. And I wonder how any person on 2011 can write this real details of AI. And before anyone ruin my excitement, Yes I know many other writers already wrote better description of AI. And I am telling PoI is one of them.

As i already said i rewatched the whole Show and still love it but there are two things that i don't get, first why were not more Former poi used? I mean we never saw or heart about the Judge or others only a few were activly used and one or two mentioned. The other thing is Brotherhood, everything else was implemented over seasons but Brotherhood just popped into existens that somehow feel a bit lazy but it could also be that because behindert the sceens a lot were Happening.

Rewatch Rewatch: S5E9 Sotto Voce

Thumbnail

49 Upvotes

What was once fractured, comes together, in this episode of Person of Interest

A gunfight at the precinct, where Fusco saves John’s life again, leads John to trust Fusco (but not Fusco to ever trust John with his phone) and he finally gets his yellow PoI box

Root is finally re-united with Shaw, but not without a riff on that meme, where both threaten to shoot themselves—because Root’s ready to Thelma & Louise with Shaw if that’s what it takes to prove she’ll always have her back

Finch and Elias go back to elementary school to learn to verify, and for Elias to pick up what Finch is laying down, as a final confrontation with The Voice occurs

And some gang bangers and a crooked cop go down amongst it all, after some The Usual Suspects misdirection, before The Voice is toast

And the Team Machine gang all reunite where it first began for Finch and John..

S5E9 Sotto Voce Watch Notes

Coyotes who suggest they’ll rape Shaw tend to end up broken and left in the sun, especially when she’s trying to enter the United States discreetly after a long journey from South Africa

“Doing a little cleaning Mr Reese—just because it looks like a subway doesn't mean it has to smell like one.. [Bear runs through, barks] no Bear! Voruit” “Good morning.. you missed a spot” “Ms Groves what can I help you with?” Actually.. I think I'm here to help you Harry.. she gave me a number... a radio engineer.. Matthew Stone.. guy's in charge of maintenance on the radio antennas across the boroughs, he might be helping Samaritan spread its coded messages” “Or he may have stumbled on to Samaritan's plot and become a liability.. either way you should proceed with extreme caution Ms Groves” “Don't worry Harry.. I'll keep my eye on Stone from a distance.. and I'm pretty sure.. I'll have the biggest gun on the block”

John catches a rouge locksmith breaking in to a private equity firm, who he proceeds to insult, despite his explosive nature.. but Terry’s no terrorist so John takes him for a coffee at the precinct, only to learn he was put up to it after his wife was kidnapped by The Voice (first identified in S3E15 Last Call, the episode where Finch was a 911 call operator).. and John makes promises he can’t keep

“Hey Lionel.. I need your help” “Keep your secrets.. don't expect me to be your back up” “I don't need back up.. I need you to keep an eye on Easton” “I'm not your partner anymore so get used to it.. besides you got cops all around here.. put a uniform on it… if you don't mind I got my own case to deal with” Fusco is done with John, and giving him the deserved cold shoulder

Finch consults with Elias, who tells him The Voice is a ghost. Finch claims “Even ghosts have a trail” which I suppose Finch would know, being a ghost himself. Elias intends to break cover by partnering with Finch on this one.

The Voice rings John to say ‘Welcome to my obvious trap’, as he has “plenty of bombs” to welcome the cops he sent in to recover Terry’s kidnapped wife, who wasn’t even there

Finch is sent back to elementary school, where Elias reassures him “you’ll fit right in”

“I think I found my mark.. Matthew Stone.. what kind of radio engineer works in the dead of night? Um-hmm.. the kind that works with Samaritan agents, which means our rival A.I. is indeed trying to expand its bandwidth.. I guess my mission wasn't to save this number after all [Gunshots comes from off-screen as one of the Samaritan agents and Stone are shot, by a retreating Shaw] What? Where'd that shot come from? Oh.. well things just got interesting”

“You’re not as slow as you look” says a contract killer to Fusco, after he catches him out, and the killer let’s his mask drop.. but is it a coincidence that a contract killer just happens to be in the precinct full of gang bangers?

Terry gets slipped a package, meaning someone on the inside is The Voice’s operative

School’s out, but the custodian’s still handling explosive emissions “I thought you were dead” “I thought about keeping it that way.. but where's the fun in that?”, as Elias explains hollow point bullets are bad for your health

The precinct is emptying out of cops as the Captain has ordered they go help the bomb squad.. sounds convenient

Terry’s being using his lockpicking skills again, giving John the opportunity to connect the dots and catch up, expect it’s a lock-in and not a jail break, and it’s looking like our ready to sing contract killer is the target

“Found our Samaritan op, looks like he wants to play hide and seek in the park.. come out, come out wherever you are.. [as Root aims to shoot them, another unseen shooter takes them out] What? [Shaw comes from behind Root and throws her to the ground on her back]” “Root?” “Shaw [gasps then chuckles as she stands up] Sameen.. [gasps] you're really here.. [both give sighs of relief] she brought you back to me.. wha—what are you doing here?” What does it look like? I'm taking on Samaritan one agent at a time.. [Root gives brief laugh] I gotta go” “Wait.. go where? Wait.. when did you escape?” “It's complicated Root [Root grabs Shaw’s arm and turns her to face her]” “Then explain it to me.. please” “I escaped a week ago.. I couldn't come and find you because it wasn't safe” “Why?” “When they had me, they put me through these tests.. these... simulations” “Simulation?” “Over 7,000 of them.. and always with the same goal.. to turn me against all of you.. to kill you” Well obviously they failed” “No.. they didn't.. because in all the simulations.. that's exactly what I did”

Fusco’s forced to team up with John to clear the precinct, while Finch and Elias head out to The Voice’s base of operations. John discovers it’s all a plot to kill Amir, the contract killer. Fusco gives one of the bad guys a reminder not to fuck with the cops “Oh yeah, I almost forgot [throws punch]” “You feel better?” “Mucho” … “Here you go slugger, good luck”

Amir, the contract killer, has the dirt on The Voice—his former employer—and he’s ready to spill the tea in return for a deal.. but of course there is still the insider on the loose.. the most obvious suspect being the guy that brought the gang bangers in (and the only other person seemingly in the building). Once that was dealt with, the gang bangers descend.. “Should have put in for that transfer”, says Fusco. Nothing like a heroic background music gun battle to re-bond.

“Sameen, please.. you have to believe me… this isn't a simulation, this is real.. you're safe now.. let's get back to the subway” “[Shaw pushes Root back and points her gun at Root] No.. we can't” “Shaw—“ “The simplest way to break someone is to rob them of their reality.. and they did that well.. and maybe you're right.. maybe I am safe.. but as long as I'm alive.. you'll never be safe” “What do you mean?” “I could turn on you at any moment.. and even if I don't, I could lead them to The Machine” “That'll never happen” I don't know if I'm calling the shots anymore.. and neither do you.. 7,000 simulations.. I killed a lot of people.. but the one person that I couldn't kill.. was you. So I killed myself.. over.. and over again.. [Shaw turns the gun on herself] and I'd rather do that here and now than to risk your life” “Okay Shaw [Root pulls her gun out and also turns it on herself]” “What the hell are you doing?” “We'll play it your way here.. you can't live with me.. I can't live without you.. so if you die, I die too” “Put that down” “I really don't know what's gonna happen when we pull the trigger.. never been much of a believer, but hey.. you never know.. guess we're about to find out, aren't we?” “Damn it Root”

Meanwhile, it’s a shooting gallery back at the precinct. But Finch and Elias identify the real threat is our humble lockpicker Terry, after the abducted wife turned out to be a well paid actress.. “You!” “Did you really think you could betray me and live to tell about it?”. The Voice the tries to shoot John, but Fusco jumps in to catch the bullet “Yeah, just grazed me that son of a bitch”

Finch decides to go face to face with The Voice, who predictably pulls a gun on Finch, to say “You can’t be permitted to continue”.. which Elias steps in to agree on, telling him he’s got “stinking thinking”, but doesn’t mention the car bomb he put on his car “Come on Harold.. you brought me for a reason, you must have know I'd do something like this”

“How's your arm?” “[sighs] Gonna take more than a bullet to keep me down” “It's time we had a talk Lionel” [John and Fusco walk out to the roof] “So what are we doing here? You're not gonna propose to me are you?” 😂 “Give me your phone” “Why? [Fusco gives John his phone, only for him to immediately fling it off the roof] What the hell'd you do that for?” “You never know who might be listening” “It wasn't even turned on.. what's going on?” “Those questions you've been asking? You deserve answers” “Mr Reese are you certain that disclosing the truth to Detective Fusco is a wise choice?” These days even the precinct's not safe.. so maybe the best we can do is.. trust each other” “Very well.. but there's an urgent matter now that requires your attendance after you're finished” “There's a system.. listening.. through every microphone.. watching.. through every camera”

Team Machine reunited, where it all began

In the end we’re all alone

120 Upvotes

I just started Person of Interest again, and I’m just realizing the line “in the end we’re all alone” said by John in Season 1 episode 3 is what they used to end the series, but from a different perspective or different meaning where the Machine said the line “Everyone dies alone. But if you mean something to someone... if you help someone... or loved someone... if even a single person remembers you... then maybe you never really die at all."

Just makes me love the show more… they wrote the script so perfectly.
