"You can just call me Root, bitch."
Sad that it is ending but glad they are able to tell a good ending to the story on their terms.
This season is going to epic.
So so glad to have this series back. I had binge watched the first four seasons and was thoroughly disappointed when it ended with that nail-biting finish. Reading that Season 5 is the last one is saddening, but this blockbuster of a first episode of the final season guarantees that this show will end leaving a permanent mark. I'll probably watch the entire series again once this season ends.
This is one of those shows which will be killed off before its time. While I liked the initial plot lines better before the computer vs computer theme, the show is still a great insight into a world where we are watched by every government agency known to mankind. POI used to be like a higher tech "Leverage" show.
Maybe like Star Trek enough fans will demand POI be produced for a few more seasons.
Season 5...Episode 1....Well worth the wait.......
loveeeed this ep although i felt like they were overdoing it a little bit (but it's person of interest, they do this a lot). i love root so much. and WHERE. IS. SHAW
I knew from the cold open and the music at the beginning that we were in for a ride. Holy sh—
Great way to start the season! I am so curious to see how they got to that scene in the beginning.
Poor Finch, he's feeling so guilty over what's happened to the Machine. And I like that he has started calling it "she"
Root has grown on me
The machine equipment begins the season at their worst, they are screwed up, will survive?
Team Machine? More like Team Playstation.
Great return, really looking forward to see this season, and the finale of this great series.
That intro tho! DAMN! Missed POI so freakin' much!
it will started in May 4, 2016
No one knows when will S5 starts?
We need season 5 to be safe in this world
I wonder when will be started for the season5?

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.

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.
