Person of Interest
I am caught up on POI and loving it. I'd watch it live if it started at 9 o'clock, or even half past.
2.2 Bad Code
The road trip with Carter and Reese was as enjoyable as one would expect it to be from discussing sleeping arrangements (I don’t ship them, but I enjoyed the nod at the trope) to the bar brawl to ‘Why is there a crossbow on the bed?’ (Answer: Because Reese, Carter.) I grasped that Root was Sam more quickly than them, which made me feel SMRT.
But it was interesting given that a big revelation for Root was about the location of The Machine that so much of the episode was out of the city. We’ve been out of the city before, but not for so long in present time. And The Machine was ever-present.
Acker was fun as Root – proof of her own argument, but the second she tried to claim dibs on being Finch’s partner was quite silly, because even if she hadn’t abducted him and made him watch someone being tortured, JOHN REESE. And she did make mistakes and leave a trail, but I liked that she was working her mission from the Government side at the end. I want her back, with her smarts and her crazy.
Nice to see Carter and Fuscoe’s camaraderie and the various ways Team Machine or whatever we’re calling them were underestimated and proved that evaluation wrong.
2.3 Masquerade
I got really excited by the tweaked credits.
A kind of frothy The Bodyguard referencing number of the week, if a lonely girl who’d never known home losing her best friend and being badly betrayed by her boyfriend can be called frothy. She was fun and nice and pretty, although the handling of top level Brazilian politics was daft – and wouldn’t she and her father speak Portuguese to each other?
But the real heart was the regulars: Finch and Bear, Finch not dealing with what Root had done and his panic attack. Carter not following Fuscoe’s advice and investigating Corvin’s death, which has led to all kinds of interesting developments. I had expected Karen to come back in the season 1 finale. But that’s a possible link between Karen and Reese and The Machine in its government job. EEE!!! I also liked the look of the CIA lady – so, they’re after Snow and, at present, that seems to have nothing to do with the very secret, high-up cover up around Corvin. Very interesting.
Carter’s attitude towards Reese’s four minutes with the gang was amusing. And it may not have to be beer, but it has to be beer, Finch.
(Sorry.)
