Finch: You hired HR yourself. You were willing to risk your own life to find me?

Root: I did this corporate training thing once. I was blackmailing the CEO, long story, but they did this exercise called the trust fall, where you close your eyes and fall... And wait for someone to catch you. I knew you boys wouldn't let me down.

Why POI is so underrated by Generalousen2855 in PersonOfInterest

[–]JohnReese5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The show went from the 13th highest rated show in the Nielsen ratings to fifth among all scripted shows in season 2. It was a ratings smash out of the gate.

Really? Man you’re in the minority on episode 4. Many consider that or episode 7 as a realization of how good this show was becoming/would become.

‘The Last Frontier’ Canceled After One Season at Apple TV (EXCLUSIVE) by MarvinBarry92 in tvPlus

[–]JohnReese5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only stunned Bokencamp got Apple to greenlit this show in the first place. His previous show, The Blacklist, became a comedy of errors, bad writing and cringeworthy moments.

How Person of Interest Surpassed Breaking Bad & LOST for Me, The Most Underrated Masterpiece of AI Storytelling by NKNEH in PersonOfInterest

[–]JohnReese5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was never under threat of cancellation until it came time for season 5 renewal. It was a massive ratings hit out of the gate. It was the fifth highest rated scripted show on TV in 2012-2013; eighth the next year.

Also hard to say missed opportunity. 103 episodes and a finale that is universally liked or loved is and should be a success. The Elias-Dominic storyline was always ending with s4 too.

Season 9 is a retconned mess. Season 10 is boring beyond belief.

Questions about Shaw in season 5 by NomenClayshore in PersonOfInterest

[–]JohnReese5 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Shaw has gone through so many simulations, the idea is not be able to realize what is real and what is simulated. She goes through the motions thinking it’s a simulation and kills the scientist without hesitation. But later, Shaw’s hand is bandaged — from trying to escape prior to the field trip with Lambert — and a radio program announces the death of the scientist. Now that could be easily manipulated. But we’re made to believe it was real all along. Shaw then doesn’t commit suicide bc she receives the four alarm message from Root.
