    MIND BLOWN - AGAIN!! EPIC EPISODE!!! AMAZING!!!

    This was an amazing and epic episode. IMO, one of the top tier episodes. I am going to watch this episode again and collect my thoughts. But right now my mind is blown by the scale and epicness of this show.

    So many awesome scenes but the discussion between Reese, Finch and Shaw on whether or not to
    kill the Congressman was the highlight of the episode. Close second was Reese realizing that the Machine wanted them to kill the Congressman.

    I'm dumbfounded. All that I was comfortable and relaxed with about the show, its storyline, and its characters, has been taken to the top of a skyscraper, turned upside down, dropped off the edge, and its remnants crushed into tiny specks.


    But that's awesome though! The creative team just continue to up their game, time and time again. Bringing Samaritan online will test Finch to his absolute limit. He's going to have to think like a computer to avoid thinking remotely like a human, and to find the flaws in Samaritan so he can outwit it.


    Brace yourself. Things are about to get very, very interesting.

    I thought the same thing about Root being a better option for the Senator number. But maybe it would have been too soon for her to handle a situation like that after The Machine just helped her find her humanity. Probably would have been too confusing for her. lol



    But I do see what you're saying about The Machine kinda testing them. It's like The Machine was saying, "Real shit is going down. Either y'all in or out." Makes you wonder how it will handle the mayhem that's soon to come. Ugh, can't wait!

    Yea i was thinking or roots humanity and it would have been one a case of one step forward and two steps back if she had taken out the senator.


    We seem to be at a point now where everyone in the team has questioned or is questioning his place within the team and that will be interesting to see as we head towards the season finale.


    kinda pissed that we have to wait another two weeks before the next outing.

    I know! How are we supposed to wait two weeks (after already waiting two weeks for this one) after an episode like that?? They could have at least given us a promo! I see a lot of networks do "In two weeks..." Darnit!

    This show is bloody brilliant!!

    brilliant ep that as many have said was awesome in making the team face some serious ethical/philisophical dilemmas, mostly poor Finch, as he steadfastly held to his beliefs and Samaritan is yet more step closer to being fully online, similar when Finch chose to ignore Root and the hard drives that contained the Samaritan program ended up taken by Decima..... I wonder if the ep when Decima target his love to flush him out will be the tipping point forcing Finch to accept that sometimes the greater good must be served by blurring the lines a bit sometimes....

    "the ep when Decima target his love to flush him out" - I haven't heard that info before, so I don't know whether is it your speculation or not, but this twist is something which would perfectly fit into the show. And it's gut wrenching because the writers neither shy to make final decisions nor treat those decisions lightly in the follow up. Reese has already lost someone important in this season, I hope the writers don't want to even the scoreboard. There is a level of pain I can't bear to watch.

    Thought it started out OK, but then kicked into overdrive in the second half! XD


    Really interesting to see that Machine still gives them numbers and they are on overload with relative numbers too and that it is Root that seems to be taking over those!


    Love the prospect that the machine may have been asking them to be the perpetrators! It's a very dark angle and horrifically debatable angle and just adds so much weight onto Finch in particular. Obviously this is also SO scary since Decima has their 24hr Samaritan Beta Test on Finch up and running! I still wonder if we will see our Machine interfere and try to "mislead" Samaritin! Oh, and I totally didn't see Shaw getting shot coming! Now that I have come to really like, I hope they don't just kill her too! (I don't think I could watch Reese's reaction to that, especially since they also reminded the audience of Carter in this episode...)


    On a funner note, enjoyed the Miami bar scene! But on a serious note I'm totally freaked out about how the season is going to end! It's been SO intense this year!!!!

    Well, I don't think the Machine put so much effort to save and hide (at least) three top-notch hackers in this season just to have them some quality beach time, so I'm sure that there is a Plan B from her side.

  15. DarthLocke4April 16, 2014 at 4:59 PM

    It's from an upcoming press release Warning! Spoilers Ahead

    “Beta” – As Decima uses Samaritan’s feeds to hunt Reese and Shaw, Greer exploits Finch’s greatest weakness in an attempt to lure him out of hiding: his love for his former fiancée, Grace Hendricks, on PERSON OF INTEREST

  16. DarthLocke4April 16, 2014 at 5:02 PM

    Right! I forgot about that, but I'm still thinking given the finale episode title that something even more unexpected is going to happen...

  17. László HarsányiApril 16, 2014 at 5:06 PM

    Yeah, this is the curse with this good writing - saving those two (plus the Japanese guy) would have been the core plot moments of an ordinary show, while here they just melted back into the ever increasingly complicated puzzle.

    Now I know what Nolan meant when he described the finale as “f–king giant hot mess".

  19. mrotherApril 16, 2014 at 8:09 PM

    Ok, but why didn't she appear in this episode? She was in the recurring cast, wasn't she?

  20. DarthLocke4April 16, 2014 at 9:40 PM

    I don't know. I don't overly trust press releases too much anymore unless a character's name is in the synopsis part. Person of Interest in particular has been throwing us off the beaten track with cast listings! (Fringe's final season also gave a lot of not complete/faulty press releases to avoid ruining spoilers, especially around Henrietta's death...she was listed for several episode after in which she did not appear)


    Maybe It's possible that a scene was cut and nobody changed the information on the press release after it had been approved?

    Team Machine and Vigilance will join forces to defeat Samaritan.

  22. willofinterestApril 17, 2014 at 5:22 AM

    That was a little ridiculous. They have killed lots of people since the Pilot. Now they get cold feet? They kill "operatives" all the time. Sure, they had guns and could have killed them, but still, there's never a 100% need to kill anyone, yet they've done it time and time again. Also, the Machine was designed to "protect" people only? How do you protect someone if you don't kill/harm the one who's threatening that someone? They lost me with that moral argument, really.

    Yes, I understand the nature of television scheduling but it still sucks when you're addicted.

    My God, John Greer is really ugly and works well as a villain you just can't help but hate.

  25. mrotherApril 18, 2014 at 3:41 PM

    Yeah, it's possible. And I know that sometimes the information is incomplete to keep someone's appearance a secret (as it was with Root and Greer several times), but listing a character which does not appear in an episode is another thing and I believe it's just a mistake :)

    WOW! This was a mindblowing episode. There really is no other way to describe it. This show is one of the most well-done shows, currently on air, in every aspect of making a show. The storytelling is excellent, the acting is top-notch, the directing and action scenes are always well done, etc. I like how Decima has proven to be a real credible threat to the team, and perhaps to the rest of the nation. There is no predictable way the team, and The Machine, can defeat Decima and Samaritan, at least at the moment. I like how the show keeps surprising me with new, complex, but well-thought-out storytelling.

    I cannot fathom the "awful" ratings for this episode. It was breathtaking to me. One of the most mindblowing--this show just keeps upping the ante!
