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.
