Person of Interest has finally returned from war! And as sad as I am that this season is the last one, it's always better for a TV show to end after 5 seasons and be remembered as spectacular than to drag on for 10 seasons and become an unrecognisable, unwatchable caricature of itself. It seems that they want to go out with a bang, and they're bringing out the big guns this season - literally and figuratively. This episode was fantastic. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Harold's moral dilemma and his interactions with The Machine made me emotional. Who knew I'd get so attached to an AI? And he called her "she"!

Once again, Root defied the dead lesbian trope and survived being shot at not once, not twice, but three freaking times! With LGBT characters dropping like flies on other shows (which is insane, by the way, and needs to stop immediately), I'm extremely happy that my favorite perky psycho is still alive. That could change, of course, with stakes being higher than ever this season, but for now, I'm just going to enjoy the fact that she's made it this far. The writers have always treated the characters with respect and I trust them to do Root justice, whether she survives this season or not.

"You can just call me Root, bitch."

I love her so much. So much.

Also, Root and John working together was a nice thing. She has built such amazing relationships with Harold and Shaw in the last few years, but she hasn't interacted with John all that much, which is a shame because they're so similar in many ways, and they make a good team. I really hope we'll see more of that.

I didn't pay that much attention to Fusco's storyline, but it's obvious he won't let go, and he'll probably find himself way over his head. Well, won't be the first time. We shall see where his investigation leads him.

Looking forward to next week. I have a strong feeling that this may just be the best season of all.

Who the the cares if a character is LGBT or a squirrel or whatever. Just leave this bullshit out of this! People are people, nothing more and nothing less.

OFF-TOPIC:
Ideal World?? You also not part of it, because it does matter to you! Do you even notice how mad you are? You are standing in your own way in creating anything near 'your ideal world'!
What is this bullshit argumentation with '16 lesbians TV characters killed'? It's idiotic to count it and even do conclusion on it.
Did you also count how many straight, gay, trans, bi ... characters died? (I guess not.) I predict, it were far far far more dead overall. In the end humans died, who cares what they eat to breakfast. (Do you even notice the black female main character was written out, or that not even 1 or more asian main character was in it? Also on the other side of the world people starving. That's not important enough for you to complain?) You get my point? You get now Marth's point?

It's this exaggerated feminism/lesbian feminism that annoys most other people/groups. Gives them the impression, they think they would be better than others. Look at what happened at the company of "Yahoo!", the female boss, a feminist with some psychic disorder, established a dictatorship, the STASI couldn't make better. In the end it was against all workers, not just her hated males.
Most people, I guess, are against killing, still people kill. So also there will always be people, that don't like you. Who cares? Just stick to the people which do!

So don't start such an childish argumentation. If you want equal rights, behave like all would have equal rights - without nonsense 'wouldn't matter if, so I do'-talk and exaggerating, as if you could ever persuade 100% of all people. Just behave like a good human.
