It seems like just yesterday I came to the end of ‘Deus Ex Machina’, knowing that it would be four months until the next episode of Person of Interest. Now, the season premiere is just days away, and I’ve got a preview to whet your appetites ahead of the premiere.
This episode brilliantly balances the difficulty between the team surviving and helping the numbers. Obviously, attempting to utilise the information the Machine gives puts the team in danger, but are they willing to let bad things happen to stay alive longer? There’s some nice scenes that discuss this dilemma.
Elsewhere, Cara Buono’s character makes a first appearance. I won’t say very much about her very important role, but with a seemingly bold and sinister personality, she makes quite a first impression.
I loved this episode. The writing is, as usual, intelligent and the acting is superb. The episode sets up a lot of paths for the season to follow, which is what I wanted from the episode.
Some dialogue teases:
- “It wasn’t my weapon.”
- “Please be quiet.”
- “I could stab you with my stiletto.”
- “Make yourself at home.”
- “You taught me that.”
Excited? Watch an extended promo below, and make sure to tune in to ‘Panopticon’, Tuesday September 23rd at 10pm on CBS, then check back to SpoilerTV for my full review of the episode!
