No. No. I refuse to believe this.
I'm not crying, not yet. But I have this horrible, cold, twisting sensation in my stomach that usually means I'm nervous. Right now it means that my worst nightmares have come true.
I can't say that I didn't expect Root to die, but I didn't expect it to happen before the series finale, and even then, my silly, naive heart still hoped against all hope that she'd miraculously survive.
Root died protecting Harold, fighting for a cause she believed in. She transcended death and became The Machine's voice. They couldn't have possibly come up with a more fitting end for her character, but that doesn't mean I'm the tiniest bit okay with her dying. I feel sick, to be honest. I can't breathe. I don't know how to process this. Is this what heartbreak feels like? It sucks. It sucks so badly.
It's no secret that I loved Root. I absolutely adored her. She was one of my favorite characters of all time, and her journey from an antagonist to a hero was nothing short of extraordinary. I feel like a part of me died with her, and I don't think I'll ever get it back.
I can't focus because my feelings are overwhelming me. It was a brilliant episode. Great action, great Harold speech in that interrogation room, great Root/Shaw scenes... I need to scream into my pillow. Root just got Shaw back! It's not fair!
How am I supposed to live after this?
Everything hurts, and nothing matters anymore.
I think I need a hug.
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.
Well that was pretty interesting. I still think zoom is Barry's dad tho. Also, I like Earth 2 Iris more, she's pretty bad ass.
Lol. Y'all will never be satisfied with any episode, will you? The episode was perfectly fine.
THIS is how you slowly build up your characters and world to a satisfying payoff. If you have an entire episode that takes place outside of the main universe and put all the main characters into completely different roles yet still manages to retain the core of the show and give viewers enough familiarity to hold onto, then you really do know how to write. Even if the series ends here, what a brilliant, intelligent, and enjoyable adventure The Orville is. Anyone still out there who looks at this show and thinks "Family Guy in space" is in crippling denial. This show is reaching Stargate levels of storytelling and character development now. What started as a chance foot in the door, to get the fleeting chance to stand in the shadows of science fiction giants has evolved into something that actually has the potential to be one of those giants some day.
For this episode in particular, what a delightful blend of TOS movie and Star Wars musical cues, the new ships and places that are a departure from the typical Union aesthetic, and the very best special effects I've seen on this show so far. Effects that are very detailed and eye-popping while still allowing everything to be well-lit and easy to follow. A very bold and dramatic way to cap off a season, especially the second season, and a very enigmatic ending that deliberately left threads hanging while still being satisfying and positive.
THIS show is the hopeful vision of the future we need right now. Not something that just reflects back what we currently are (because, let's face it, what we currently are is embarrassing), but one that shows up what we could be if we could stop resenting ourselves and each other for five freaking minutes. We'll always have our precious mistakes, our warts, our weirdness, but it's wrong to let those things define us. In the past, this kind of love and awareness came from a different show. A show that has sadly decided to move away from the wisdom of the human adventure. Now, thankfully, it's coming from this one. Hopefully, for a long time to come.
I knew Cole was the fucking witness. That mother fucker
Very good Start for the final Episodes!
After all these years...
The Swede is gone!
you guys were saying it is bad but that was quite a enjoyable episode compared to some of season 1 episodes so leave it be. i really hate negative comments on a show it what inadvertently causing the show to cancel. (eg for you people who cant recognise. bad reviews mean people will read it before watching the episode people go into a episode with a negative mind set thus those people wont enjoy it as much as they would if they didnt know anything about it). ANYWAY good episode would like to see flash move into the arrow alittle more which would be perfect but other then that very happy and excited for the next episode.
Absolutely beautiful in all sense of the word. I am speechless at how perfect this show was from start to finish. Max do the right thing and fund anything and everything the creators want to do going forward!
I am a sucker for silent artsy moments in shows. Particular animated ones. Loooove itttt
They cannot possibly not give us more seasons. My god, please don't do that to us.
Insane how you fire Justin Roiland and the following season gets more funny.
Didn't expect The Kang Dynasty
If this is what A Haunting in Venice is based off, the movie changed a lot. Though it was still good. Since I saw the movie first, I didn’t see anything coming in this.
Even the victims were different than in the movie. This is more of a straight forward mystery without the elements of possibly being a ghost story as well.
Hallowe’en party is surprisingly darker than the Haunting in Venice movie. With more than one victim being a kid. As well as it being graphic. I know A Haunting in Venice definitely had more humor as well.
A tryly letdown of a episode. One or two kind of funny puns amidst one million lame cuck jokes.
Hermes deserves better. Give that man more manwiches and less wife cheating tryhard jokes. Also Zoom segment was painfully streched out. The best they could do were silly filter and underwear jokes, really?!
I couldn't stop laughing when Flex Mentallo flexed the wrong muscle and everyone just came lol
finally, Darvey! Been waiting for that since the beginning
Really enjoyed the episode, the end of an era with Joe white dying but man what a lovely way to go. that sunset - spectacular.
lmaoooo paula's a whole ass therapist and yet can't recognise that if she's that insecure of herself and harvey just bc donna exists the two of them never had a real shot in the first place
Oh, I'm sorry! Did insecure, self absorbed, annoying, whiny, and not at all special Paula think she was more important than a 13 year old friendship? She was basically ASKING for him to break up with her after giving him the ultimatum. Good riddance. Even though I'm not that big a fan of Donna right now but I'm glad about what Harvey did. It was the right thing.
This might be the best ‘Rick and Morty’ episode ever.
are u telling me i spent all this time watching two seasons of this show so that u can just tell me none of it actually happened ????????? hELL NAW
Love Eve. Not happy they are making Adalind a Hexenbiest again. Now that Sean has Diana will she leave Nick? Who knows but I hope not!
Kind of like it but this week's villain wth, he is the most forgettable villain in the whole series. He was just a means to an end. He is just used for next week's plot episode.
I loved the development of the story. Barry and Harry back together. I liked the fact that noe that Wally is part of the family, Barry had to Look for a New father, and that means Wells. He is the bad guy always plotting against Team flash but, hey, you cannot help but love Wells. He is one of a kind.
Wally saying he likes fast was pretty subtle. One way or another he is gonna enter the Speed Force so, hey, why forcing it?
Harry's confession was pretty cool but not as much as Barry saying he would do the same if he was in his position.This shows how much Barry has advanced in being a hero. He has grown up.
And what about Iris. Since Eddie "died" she has been forced to be on the spotlight and hells yes, she has been very good at it. Now, unlike Last Season she doesn't mess thing up and that is cool.
As well as Harry, Joe was brilliant tonight and I liked the way the West family development was handled.
No words about tar-pit. He was a horrible villain and so easy to defeat, just through him something, Joe hits him and that's all. Ackward. Besides, a Man whi was killed the night the particle accelerator exploded and that seeks for revenge is old so, come on, develop something new. Plus, I am a Big Supernatural fan, and seeing Clay, the guy who killed tar-pit at the very begining was funny like, ok come on, he is a leviathan you dorks, he cannot be killed hahaha.
Anyhow, I liked the episode (aside from the villain), but the development of West arc and Barry/Harry/Joe was awesome.
Looking forward for next week's episode. That is going to be crazy like the Dingo até my Baby crazy. Can't wait!!!
