Fuck you CBS why did you have to end it.Goodbye my beautiful show and what a wonderful finale
I'm not sure what to say. I don't know how I expected this show to end. On one hand, I'm okay with this ending, and I think it was a good way to conclude the show. On the other, I feel completely empty inside. It's strange to think that we're not getting another episode next week.
I was sure that John would be the one to die. It made the most sense. He had a good death, fighting until the very end. Still, I cried my eyes out when it happened.
I'm glad that Shaw is alive, and that she has Bear by her side. I loved how she smiled in the last scene. She totally heard Root's voice on the phone.
Finch is finally reunited with Grace!
So The Machine was talking to a version of herself all along. I'd kind of suspected that.
This was a great episode, and the last few minutes of it were bittersweet but also hopeful. The Machine's final monologue was epic. You know how sometimes you hear something so profound and powerful, something that speaks to you so deeply that you have to fight the urge to get it tattooed on your body? That's what I felt like when I heard that monologue. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the way they tied it all up.
Now, it's time for me to say goodbye.
I discovered Person of Interest quite late - just a few months before season 5 started. I wasn't hooked right away, but I stuck with the show because I'd read stellar reviews online. It took me almost an entire season to really get into it.
And then Root showed up, kidnapped Finch, stole my heart in about 0.2 seconds, and I was officially obsessed. It took me only 10 days to binge-watch seasons 2-4 (after all, who needs school? Who needs sleep?). This show was a wild ride, and I'm grateful that I got to experience it.
Thank you, Person of Interest.
Thank you for giving us compelling storylines, jaw-dropping plot twists and intense action scenes.
Thank you for exploring fascinating themes, such as AI and the true meaning of humanity.
Thank you for gorgeous cinematography, spectacular score and special effects that blockbuster movies could be jealous of.
Thank you for phenomenal characters, fantastic relationships, consistent characterization and incredible character development.
Thank you for starting my obsession with Amy Acker, which resulted in me binge-watching 19 episodes of Angel in one day (no, I do not possess amazing impulse control).
Thank you for making me laugh, making me cry, making me think, making me lose sleep over you.
Is there something about this show that I'm not happy with? Absolutely. I wish CBS hadn't acted like dicks and had given us a full season instead of measly 13 episodes. I wish Root hadn't died, and a part of me will always be bitter about it. I wish Shaw and Root had had more time. I wish they had paced the final season better (Root and Shaw are reunited after 10 months and over 7,000 simulations, Root dies in the following episode, and then we get a case of the week as if nothing happened? That's just bullshit right there), but I also know that the showrunners tried to do the best they could with a reduced number of episodes. And overall, they succeeded, making Person of Interest one of very few TV shows that were just as, if not more, exquisite in their last season as they were in their first.
Goodbye, Person of Interest. You will always be one of my favorite TV shows of all time. I don't think I'll ever get to watch something as engaging, thrilling, smart, thought-provoking, heartbreaking and powerful as you again.
— It’s Gordon, right?
— And you are?
— I’m the guy who kills Gordon.
i refuse to believe monty ever agreed to killing an innocent village thank you very much
Too much unnecessary complacency on the rape scenes (via TVShow for WP)
The closer we get to the season finale, the more stressed I become. Partly because we still haven't heard anything about a renewal (although I'm holding on to my possibly naive belief that they would've given us a heads-up by now if they were going to end the show this year). There is so much going on and we only have 5 episodes left to resolve it all. I'm not ready.
I've been waiting for Daisy and Little Miss Murder to finally meet. It was a good fight. I have to say, I'm really enjoying Dove Cameron. She's doing a fine job with this character. Ruby is genuinely terrifying, and you're never quite sure what she's going to do next, which makes her a very compelling antagonist.
This is a sci-fi show, and I generally have no problem suspending my disbelief for just about anything they come up with. Inhumans? Gravitonium? Rocks that transport you to another planet or to the future? LMDs? A fear dimension? Sure, why not, seems legit. But Mack and Piper operating on Deke without immediately killing him? Nope, that's where I draw the line. Piper reading what looked like a S.H.I.E.L.D. equivalent of WebMD during the surgery was pretty hilarious though.
Deke is in love with Daisy (but who isn't?), which I knew was going to happen. He's a good-looking young guy, that's the only criterium you need to meet on this show to become Daisy's love interest. At least the way he confessed it while being heavily sedated was funny.
May said she loved Coulson! I mean, we been knew, but I didn't expect her to say it out loud. Phil looked like he was about to have a stroke.
"- I'm sorry you never got the honeymoon you dreamed of.
- Nonsense. I'm protecting England from evil robots with the man I love."
Yeah, if I ever stop freaking out about FitzSimmons, just assume I'm dead. I'm surprised it took them so long to establish the "not leaving each other's side" rule. They've been ripped apart so many times that they should just handcuff themselves together. They're in so much trouble now with Ruby. I hope the rest of the team gets there fast and rescues them from her clutches. Daisy is not going to be happy about Jemma and Elena's stunt. But in their defense, at least it wasn't fruitless? They did find the machine that Hale wants.
Of course Talbot was brainwashed by HYDRA. Of course. I guess the Lighthouse will be compromised soon. Where is the team supposed to go? It's not like they have a lot of options at this point.
Good ending to a excellent show. I can't give it a 10 because this episode means it's over.
Agents of Shield is a weirdly uneven show - you get a few episodes that aren't that great (enjoyable, sure, but nothing special) and then, when you least expect it, they hit you with something excellent, thrilling, action-packed and intense. Something that leaves you with goosebumps and your jaw on the floor. This was one of those episodes.
Where do I begin this mess of a review? Let's start with less exciting stuff so I can pull myself back together a little.
May calling Coulson out on his bullshit was nice. Phil's a problematic character for me in general, so I'm glad they addressed the fact that his methods can be controversial at times. The murder vest as a precaution actually made sense, but seemed unnecessarily elaborate. What happened to a good, old-fashioned bullet to the head?
Kudos to Brett Dalton for making my skin crawl with disgust. That rarely happens with villains, I usually just straight-up hate them, but he's something else entirely. He reminds me of Kilgrave on Jessica Jones. They're on a similar level of creepiness.
James' powers are pretty cool, Lincoln's a whiny baby and Daisy breaks my heart. Just give her a lot of hugs and puppies, please, and get her the hell away from Hive.
Now, let me take some mild sedatives and let's talk about FitzSimmons.
Jemma was amazing in this episode. Not getting fooled by Hive, no matter how much she wanted to believe him? Shooting this almighty ancient being and living to tell the tale? Stabbing someone in the eye with a syringe? Fitz also got to kick some ass. When did this happen? When did these two sweet kids turn into badasses? It's impressive and so sad at the same time. They've only learned to fight because they've suffered and lost so much. They started off as two scientists who wanted to get out of the lab and have adventures. Innocent. Inexperienced. Naive. And then the real world and Hydra and a bunch of other shit happened and now here they are. More mature, stronger, changed, scarred. That's some damn good character development right there.
Also, 2 episodes of happiness. That. Never. Happens. Dear God, one of them's gonna die, aren't they?
This episode was filled with Inhumans and transhumanism (which reminds me a lot of Neolution on Orphan Black, by the way) and yet the strangest, most surprising thing of all was that these two got to finish their conversation for once.
Oh, and then they banged.
What a glorious day to be alive!
Great episode. Really a turning point in the season. Bellamy and Pike seem to be running things now, which isn't a good thing bc Pike has a vulnerable Bellamy wrapped around his finger. It's going to be interesting to see if Bellamy is able to be saved bc what he and Pike did to the ppl that were there to help was pretty unforgivable.
Season finale and I'm disappointed and ecstatic after watching the final episode draw to a close. I wished there was a sneak peek even after Shaw smiled at the camera. I was hoping the end credits wouldn't roll, but that I would hear the machine speak once again. I hoped for one more glimpse of everything before it all ended. Ah, hopes!
It was a brilliant episode though I was looking forward to some more AI vs. AI action. But they tied everything up beautifully. I am definitely going to binge watch the series again and relive the experience. It was fun while it lasted.
To misquote what the machine remembered:
A show will never die till at least one of us remembers it, and then it could live forever.
The email reading sequence was one of the best things that has ever happened on this show.
Really angry. I can't believe they killed Robin and brought Killian back instead. We had already accepted his death and it made perfect sense, but now Zeus rewarded him for helping to kill Hades? Bitch please, if Robin hadn't sacrificed himself for Regina, Regina wouldn't be there to convince Zelena to kill Hades (which Robin wouldn't have been able to do). Killian being brought back didn't make any sense, even though Emma already lost Neal and it was starting to seem she was cursed or something. But all Killian did was putting some pages inside a book, Robin gave his life. Who's the real hero?
Ok, you can say "His death was permanent, there's no way to bring him back" but the truth is they shouldn't even have killed him in the first place. I really can imagine where next season is going: Regina trying to get revenge on Emma, for she always gets a happy ending and Regina doesn't. And she has every right to do it. Emma is so damn lucky it makes me wanna throw up, while Regina, who has to fight for a happy ending, never gets it. Really, this is getting so repetitive... It's time for Regina to get her happy ending. Next week we have a double episode, which means they have plenty of time to find a logical way to bring Robin back, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Really disappointed with this season.
Londo is a fucking asshole. I don't know how anyone could like him. All his possible redeeming features and actions pale, because they always seem to be motivated by selfishness. Making sure Vir doesn't get send away? Londo doesn't want to feel alone and friendless. Coming to Lennier's bedside, when he's in a coma? He feels obligated to, because Lennier saved his life (and possibly he would lose face by not showing up). Nothing he does is sincerely kind, he is completely egotistical. He's a pathetic power-hungry bastard.
Commander Sharon Raydor deserved so much better
Continually blown away by Alicia Denham Carey. She brings such subtleties to the role. Lexa was amazing this episode.
The Pike storyline is frustrating but unfortunately realistic, and the scary thing is people are easily led by strong talkers like him. This will not end well at all.
I've been a big fan of once since day one, and this episode showed new promise in this season....until the last few minutes... i mean come on again with the memory loss i am so over that, can't they come up with something else for a change? Do hope that this memory loss won't kill the whole season cause it really had an amazing start!
have i ever cried this much watching an episode of containment? no. i did not.
I'm trying to like this show, but the characters are just so damn stupid. Not scared stupid though, it's more of an 'allowing the lift to come up even though it just stopped on a floor full of murderers' kind of stupid.
I love shows like this and movies like Contagion. That movie messed me up big time! I still flinch when someone around me sneezes, etc. We know with recent events of Ebola situations like this is very much real. I love Jake and his Zombie Apocalypse comment. That made me laugh. Watching how we as a people react to such a situation is pretty by the book. I mean going into riot mode isn't a far stretch in my opinion.
Based on the previews of up coming episodes I am looking forward to seeing how the sh** hits the fan!
