My thought exactly. POI numbers hasn't had stellar numbers this season; in fact 4.19 hit a new low! I also don't think that has much to do with the absence of the Carter character; imo, the writing and stories have simply been subpar compared to prior seasons. And once a series is off the viewers menu, it's hard to get them back.
But it will only be a cat bounce if 4.20 gets better numbers. Which does not bode well for the show.
The promo focuses on Reese but I still feel that we will get some mythology arc with Finch and/or Root. But if it doesn't happen and we don't delve further into the serialized part of the show, I am still going to enjoy Carter's return in flashbacks. She was/is my favorite POI lady.
I am also interested in seeing Reese's frame of mind in this one. On one hand he is looking to form new habits and is taking some steps towards that (ex: relationship with Iris) but as we saw in E19, he is also resigned to the fact that he may die soon at some point due to their war against Samaritan.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
Cookie!! Oops, wrong show.

ReplyDeleteHope this isn't ALL the episode's gonna be about. Be a waste, especially this late in the season.
