I have never cried to a series before, fuck i feel happy and sad at the same time
>Lionel finally got his yellow box
Dead before the finale, calling it now
>>70319072
I think my biggest question is whether Finch dies before he acknowledges his moral compromise
...and whether or not he gets back together with Grace.
>>70319558
>finch compromised his cover
>it's because he was thinking of Grace
aw man, i want him to have a happy ending...but i think it'd be fitting if he doesn't survive and never gets to reconnect with her
Post yfw the series ends with Samaritan nuking the planet and a seamless transition into the trailer for the new Terminator movie
>Jonathan Nolan is the first trillionaire
i'm going to be sad to not have Emerson on my tv weekly again...I honestly didn't think he could get away from Ben Linus as a character, but I've come to really like Harold Finch
>>70319626
>It's a Vincent Van Gogh episode
>>70319904
Is that the Doctor Who vincent Van Gogh guy?
rip Cocoa puffs
>>70319904
>it's a Lester Nygaard's brother whose life never recovered over being fucked over episode
>>70320000
No, he just looks the part
>>70319072
Everyone dying has begun, starting with Root.
Anyone willing to opine on who they think will die next/make it out alive?
>>70320534
Reese or Shaw will be next. Fusco will probably survive long enough for one of them to say goodbye. Finch will be standing alone at the end again.
>>70320534
Greer will survive, because spoopy last-second scene.
>>70319518
Naw man, he's going to be the only survivor and recruit the next series of assets. His whole redemption story from corrupt cop to legitimate cop to vigilante has been pretty sweet so far.
>>70320534
Shaw and Fusco will die, Finch will try and sacrifice himself to save John but The Machine won't let him die, she'll have been watching him too long and predicted all of his attempts to hand himself over to Samaritan or suicide and engineered an elaborate plan to stop them. She'll win without anyone's help and in the end, Finch will be an old man, the last man on Earth, alone in his library with the voice of root. Then his glasses break.
>DUN-NA-NA DUN-NA-NA
>>70320744
>new beat cop walks over to Fusco's desk
Newbie- "You wanted to see me detective?"
Fusco - "Sit down kid, I've been hearing some rumors about you, mostly positive."
Newbie - "Well sir, I'm just trying to do the best I can."
Fusco - "I also hear you're taking unnecessary risks, playing the hero. Those kind of stunts will get you killed."
Newbie - "All due respect sir, I signed up to risk my life to help the people of this city."
Fusco - "If that's how you feel, let me tell you about some real heroes..."

How does he find the time?

>>70321098
I was actually implying that it all was a simulation but then I realized how I made it look.
Finch despairing over the one successful simulation after everything was over would've been a hard blow.
>>70321434
saved
>>70319072
Why does Jim Caviezel's face always look so sweaty and greasy?
>>70321098
Harold actually died in the ferry bombing and everything after that point is just a bored AI running simulations
>>70321625
>>70321434
http://personofinterest.wikia.com/wiki/The_Machine/MPOV
i love this
People are saying it all might just be a simulation
>>70321760
Probably not. They won't do it us. They didn't do this to us before.
>>70321760
It's probably not.
It could all be a simulation of the chain of events that would unfold should they not kill the senator.
Final scene: The Machine resets to real time, as Reese puts a few bullets in the senator's chest.
>>70322019
Honestly, I'd be okay with that. I think we'll end up with the sad ending however, as it's just more fitting for the story. That we don't always get what we want, and even when we strive to do good, we can still fail.
However, I just want a happy ending.
>>70322019
That would be too far, The Machine never saw Samaritan's source code so she could never predict what it would do on this scale.
She probably did know that Decima was behind Vigilance though
>>70322206
>However, I just want a happy ending.
I think it will be
>Return 0
>>70322241
what could constitute as a happy ending though?
i just don't see shaw surviving without root, nor john making it to the end.
i like fusco, but well...he's a dad, and i don't think they'd go that far killing him, sadly.
>>70320534
Reese and Finch die, Shaw and Fusco (and Bear) live.
>>70322437
Greer will kill Bear and Finch will go on a rampage.
>>70322371
>what could constitute as a happy ending though?
Finch tells the machine to launch every nuke on the planet and detonate them in high orbit, EMPing the entire planet without harming humans
>It's time to live in a world without machines, John
>>70322241
>Return 0 after .exe
So either everything goes good (if it's from the Machine's POV) or bad (Samaritan's POV).
Or the Machine was never benevolent in the first place.
>>70322465
But he's already on a rampage.
>>70322241
>Return 0
For those that don't understand, most software programs tells the operating system (OS X, Windows, Linux, etc.) whether or not it finished successfully with a "return code": a single number indicating the status of the program during termination. Once a return code is sent, the program is unambiguously over.
A return code of 0 is universally understood as successful completion.
>>70322562
Something important dies, but not before completing its mission. It could be Samaritan, The Machine, Finch, or the Irrelevant Numbers initiative; no other things make sense in this context.
>>70322624
A huge rampage.
>>70321743
>SVGs
It's glorious.
>>70322514
man i wonder what kind of role Emerson will take on next.
Ben and Harold are GOAT-tier
>>70322639
Samaritan completing its mission would mean killing off the Machine and Finch.
The Machine completing her mission would mean destroying Samaritan.
Finch completing his mission would mean destroying Samaritan.
So the only thing left is the irrelevant numbers initiative, but what is its mission?
>>70322663
this is cracking me up more than it should
>>70322679
A telekinetic psychopath that's obsessed with a television show from his childhood.
>>70322639
root has uid 0 on linux. I think uid is actually compared to 0 in the kernel to check permissions.
>>70322241
Yeah, return 0; and all of that but, I just am having a hard time seeing it.
Root's now physically gone, that scene in the morgue was something else. Then she's almost like David Bowman from 2001 A Space Odyssey. She's "transcended" her being and becomes one with the machine in a sense. I know this is a super ASI, and has to some extent been in her head so maybe it's got a accurate vision of who she was and is.
Shaw and her whole space space, the idea of her having any form of life, worth living at least, after this is really hard. I mean it was just one episode before Root said she'd shoot herself if Shaw did the same. She wants to kill Samaritan, but then what's next?
Maybe Reese survives, but I really don't think he can make it. I don't know if he can ever return back, if he lives. It's possible, as there was a moment where he could have been with Iris, and the whole premise of the show is that these broken people can heal.
Fusco's got a kid, I really don't want to see him go after all of this, I feel he'll be one of the few to live, and may have his life saved by Shaw or Reese at some critical moment. But honestly, Fusco's witty enough to make it on his own to some extent, so maybe he lives on merit.
Finch however. He's fucking snapped, and I think he's long gone. It's like when the unthinkable happens there's a point where you have to make a choice about your future. What's he got left? Grace? I don't think in his state, he can ever feel he's truly safe, so I don't think he'll ever go near her for fear of hurting her.
>>70322729
The return code of a task and uid/gid don't have anything to do each other.
>>70322663
That's adorable.
RIP Shoot
>>70322794
int get_uid() {return 0;} :^)
But I was mostly going for the "return root" angle.DEFINE ROOT 0;
int main() {return ROOT;}
Hope I don't get banned for this.
>>70322718
what an odd episode

>>70322713
>Samaritan completing its mission would mean killing off the Machine and Finch.
That's not what it's doing full time though, it's mission is to control the human race or whatever Greer's metaphors really mean.
>>70321236
I dunno what this means exactly but fuck.
>>70322958
I was so upset last night. Like at some point I went outside to walk around the block around Midnight and I was actually stunned how affected I was by a TV show.
>>70322715
It's just so simple
>>70323076
It's going to be Synecdoche, isn't it?
>>70323118
You know nothing, onee-sama.
>Dammit Finch how do I get this Twitter thing to work?
>>70323180
I think he meant the day the world went away, that was probably posted while it was airing.
>>70323203
>gave up after two tweets
based jesus batman he really is reese
>>70323239
But that's by NIN. Didn't he mean an original song by Ramin van Buuren?
>>70322847
>return root
Does that make her a zombie process?
>>70323303
no he said that Ramin made the use of licensed music like The Day the World Went Away unnecessary for the last 3 episodes
>>70323304
Only if you don't pipe herto Shaw's standard input.

I am actually hoping he does something batshit crazy. Like the Joker from TKJ, except on a global scale.Harold: Hello, Samaritan.
Samaritan: You know you cannot win.
Harold: How about a nice of thermonuclear war?
Machine(w/Root's voice): Sounds fun.
Samaritan: ?????????
Shaw:This is fine.
>>70323918
Proof, Top right corner.
AUX_ADMIN is the machine's codename for Nathan

>>70319072
Is this worth a watch? I started watching the pilot and just couldn't go on after the retarded gun-shopping scene.
Now that it's almost finished, I might try to pick it up again. Is it over-the-top action wise? What's the plot format and pacing? Is it monster of the week?
An active PoI thread??? wat is hapenin
Since we're all here, can we agree PoI has probably the best score of any current tv show?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ksgw79s5vE0
>>70324663
It's because the final episodes have started, and the latest one was amazing.
Also, yes we can agree. Easily.
>>70319607
In literary theory, Finch is your classic tragic hero.Of course he is going to bite the bullet.
I miss the winter aesthetic for this show.
There was something cool and oppressive when everything was covered in snow is seasons 3 and 4. It seems wrong for the endgame to be all bright and summery.
F
Root and Elias are two of the only instances I can recall of a tv villain joining up with the heroes and it not be completely dumb as hell.
>>70324980 F
>tfw no more evil costanza
>>70324980
F
Weirdly enough I hated Root in the beginning. Her crazy techno zealot shit wore on me really fast, but then she ended up one of my favorite characters. Funny how that works.
Elias always been #1 boy though
>>70324980
>>70325071
I always loved Elias. The respectful, rational demeanor, his sense of loyalty. Man had a lot of class.
>>70324980
That headshot was a cruel way to end him tbqh.
>>70324663
I suppose.

That episode where they escape that gang through that building was GOAT.
>>70325386
Baby don't wipe me.
Don't wipe me.
No more.
>>70325408
I've already used the screenshot of the laptop wars to make a joke about 1v1ing a friend in vidya.
Guys, I need help. I just finished binge watching Angel a day before this episode of PoI, I've had to watch Amy Acker die twice in one week. Oh god it hurts
>>70325332
It more made me think of Rick and the phone in TWD.
I keep watching Finch's speech at the end. It's so fucking good, so powerful.
>>70325536
>Wesley, why can't I stay?
>>70325536
kek, that must be harsh. Fred's death was more cruel and hit me far harder than Root's death. Elias' death affected me more than Root though.
>off-screen death
maybe it's just another simulation
>>70325611
Mah nigga. I thought I was the only one. When he starts the "rules" part I just sit there and bask in the emotion he expresses.
>>70325646
As you wish.

We saw he cold dead body lying there naked and helpless
She's got it easy for the next few episodes
>>70325818
Probably never. Something fucky is going on here. It can mean only one thing... SAMARITAN!
>>70325837
For the next few episodes she was still on set, voicing the Machine just off camera.
>>70325827
kek, she was such a qt back in the day
>>70325818
well season finale coming up soon so not that unexpected
>>70322713
The Machine might be orchestrating things to make the government stop ignoring the irrelevant numbers.
>>70325611
Serious question, is it too late for this season to get nominated for any emmys or something? I know Person of interest would never win anything but Michael Emerson atleast deserves a nod. He's been fucking amazing this whole show, and he was perfect this last episode in particular
That speech was fucking terrifying
>>70326304
Am I imagining it or did he show signs of sadness when he saw his man William was dead? I mean he only had like 10 seconds from then before he died but I could swear he somehow portrayed some grief in that time.
Maybe it was just the music changing. F
>>70326304
DELET
>>70326429
Probably not imagining anything, Elias cared about his people. He was a great man.
>>70326177
Considering previous threads (even in its current limited-run final season) rarely reach 75 posts, this is extremely strange.
>>70326514
Just shows how great the episode was. I'm almost scared that they wont be able to top it and the last 3 episodes wont be as good.
>>70326429
Hard to tell, since we could only see the side of his face.
just as im getting into this show its cancelled already fuck me
>>70326564
I agree, but if there's any show that can top an unbelievably good episode with an even better one, it's this one with its current writers. Do I need to remind you the case with the episode of Carter's death and the next one, "The Devil's Share"?
>>70326739
>that "Hurt" montage
>that hotel scene
I can't believe I forgot.
Which artstyle/motion animations do you guys prefer more: Samaritan's, or The Machine's?
My vote goes to The Machine; that strange spiderweb of events and the disorganized splatter of video cameras just seems closer to the reality of AI than all those ladder/chain things Samaritan has.
>>70326858
I miss Terminator Reese. We need one more scene like this before the show ends.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyZTBYlvtuw
>>70326929
The guy that's coming after me, your men wont be able to stop him.
>>70326929
How did it all go so wrong?
>>70327061
These are the top episodes of POI, you can't get episodes like these every other day. Not to mention, judging from If-Then-Else, and yesterday's episode, it didn't go wrong after all.
>>70327116
Well, I didn't like yesterday's.
I didn't like many episodes since Samaritan desu.
>>70326886
Samaritan's is silly looking, it's like flashy over the top sci-fi.
The Machine is best. Simple, utilitarian, even in its flashier moments.
>>70327156
I love those VHS-like dates.
>>70327116
If-Then-Else, dont remind me. That episode was perfection. Michael Emerson emmy fucking when?

>ai-shaw flirting scene
Don't want to see this shit.
>tfw the only one left alive will be fusco
>>70327488
Fusco will die before Bear does.
>>70327488
I'll be really sad if he dies. Out of all of them he's the one that definitely shouldn't die.
>>70327554
fusco will live and take bear home for his kid.
>>70327555
Agree, Fusco is really more innocent than all of them.
>>70327634
Which is funny considered he was a dirty cop.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbqY3DsCpfg
>>70327773
Based. Fuck that drug dealer he had it coming.
>all this was because harold was a moron
>>70328228
He's just preventing age of ultron from happening
>>70325257
Supposedly Root and Shaw had a very physical relationship offscreen. Basically they had a lot of sex but it was never anything more than that, despite Root's feelings for Shaw and Shaw's hidden feelings for Root. Shaw kissing Root in If-Then-Else was basically Shaw, for the first time, admitting to Root that she actually had feelings for her.
>>70328228
I can't blame him really, he was just standing by his principles. It took the world coming to the brink for him to finally realize that you can't beat an enemy like Samaritan when you're limiting your side with those principles.
Once Samaritan is dead, the machine can protect and guide humanity into the future, but you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelette.Why do I feel like this is about something else entirely.
>>70328485
Maybefinch abused the machine sexually and he doesn't want it to realize what he did
>>70328461
what. some confirmation on that would be nice. sounds hot as fuk
>>70328461
>>70328703
The showrunners have suggested but not confirmed that it's possible that Shaw and Root have been having casual sex since 3x12 "Aletheia".
>Root: Oh, he's hot - I mean, not hood and zip ties in a CIA safe house for 10 hours to kill hot, but I kinda get it.
>>70328918
Oh shit how did I miss that? That sounds like the sort of thing that wouldnt usually get by me, dayum
>>70328228
Harold was right though. Don't want Skynet happening.
>>70325536
>Amy Acker dies
>Returns as a God for the last few episodes
This is a weird kind of type casting
How many episodes left? 3?
>>70329361
yes
>>70329303
>Amy Acker got cast for PoI because Jonathan Nolan and his wife were fans of her work on Angel.
>>70329303
Just her voice though, no Amy Acker in a catsuit again, unfortunately.
So Reese is confirmed dead by the end of the season right?
>>70326566
Why does this scene hurt so much? I think I would have actually lost it, if Fusco closed her eyes.
So next week we have Shaw and Punished Finch going nuclear on Samaritan. How good are these last few episodes going to be?
>>70329950
11 might be questionable, but the showrunners have said 4, 10, 12, and 13 were their favorite episodes this season.
>>70330134
>4, 10
Well they're right so far.
>>70329950
Will they have a funeral for root?
My predictions on who dies next:
Machine side in order:
>Shaw while taking out a ton of Samaritan mooksand Greer[/spoiler[
>Reese and/or Fusco
>Most likely Finch
Samaritan side in order:
>creepy kid
>Blackwell
>rest of the mooks
>Greer
>Samaritan itself
>>70330307
>It's another Hurt montage
I've heard that 5x12 will be something like"It's a Wonderful Life" episode, where it will show whatwould have happened if Finch never created the Machine.
>>70330411
Wouldn't it just a world with Samartian then? Since it was originally scraped when Harold finished the Machine first?
>>70330411
That would be so fucking bizarre but I feel like it could be a nice change of pace provided it shows that their lives are shit and the world is worse off.
>>70330477
>Harold and Grace are happy
>>70330411>Root and Reese lose themselves without a purpose
>Shaw gets offed by her former colleagues
>Bear is feed with cheap dog food for the rest of his life and develops cancer
Alternatively, everybody gets hired by Samaritan instead. Or Nathan collaborates with somebody else to build the machine.
>>70330411
So...a world with Samaritan in full control?
Cuz it wasn't made by Decima or Finch
>>70330450
>>70330565Claypool said he only got it to work briefly before his project was shut down and it was shown in 3x17 that a processor that was needed to make Samaritan work, had only recently been invented. But yes, following the overall theme of the show, they've said repeatedly that the creation of an ASI was inevitable (if not Samaritan, then some other ASI should come into existence eventually).
What was your favorite Root alias?
>Caroline Turing
http://personofinterest.wikia.com/wiki/Root/Aliases
>>70330712
Caroline Turing or Augusta A. King.
>>70330712
Tie between Sexy Secretary Root and French Nanny Root.
Fuck I just realized how much I'm gonna miss Roots constantly changing zany identities. Hold me, bros
>>70331020
There's a chance we'll see her again in episode 12 if that anon above was telling the truth.
Until then, have some cute
>>70331020
Sshhhhh.
>>70331280
Bill Cosby Root?
>>70331280
Why are their scenes so lewd?
>>70331352
Please sign me up for this. I'd take hormone pills and spend everything I have on plastic surgery for that.
>>70331364
Because Root is lewd.
>>70331364
Because they fuck IRL. The way they hang off of eachother during interviews and shit and how ridiculously enthusiastic Sarah Shahi in particular is about the whole Shoot thing, I am almost positive they atleast fucked once.
>>70322958
You have no idea how much I'm enjoying that either Root or Shawwould rather have had it be Shaw but whateverdied right now.
>>70331099
I loved how Fusco doen't even react to Root doing her ballerina stretches in his hospital room because either:
a. He's so used to her weirdness that it doesn't faze him anymore
b. He's out of fucks to give at that point
c. A combination of a & b
>>70321760
It's possible, and I suppose it could be handled well (as some guy said, this could be the very first win the Machine gets in the simulations), but it would probably be disappointing since it's just a variant of "just a dream"
>>70330411
>On one hand, Carter would still be alive
>On another hand, HR would still be going strong
>>70328485
>Why do I feel like this is about something else entirely.
It might be about how Harold was spotted by Samaritan at the start of the episode.
>>70331672
It wouldn't surprise me. The two of them are always all over each other during interviews.
>>70331801
jej, I almost forgot about that scene. I love the subtlety in the characters' quirks.
>>70331930
Wouldn't Elias have killed Carter in Season 1?
>>70331801
wait which episode was this? I don't remember this scene
>>70332280
Elias would have been killed in the episode they introduced him in.
HR would still have an iron grip on the city.
>>70331801
wtf why does this webm make my dick so hard???
>>70332332
The one after Fusco discovered the bodies and got blown up. Don't remember the number.
>>70332332
The start of 5x07, you might of missed the episode because of CBS's weird scheduling.
Did Shaw have wet simulations every time? I mean over 7000 simulations of having rough sex with Root will definitely leave something on the bed
Also this show seems pretty big in Asia
>>70329303
it works though, she really can play both a heartless killing machine and a qt the next.
oftentimes both at the same time
>>70332599
>over 7000 simulations of having rough sex with Root
I just realized that.
>>70332599
>Also this show seems pretty big in Asia
Wait, really? How do you know?
>>70332599
there is a nice amount of fanart yeah, i was shocked but then again : two hot women who are also badass killing machines
it makes perfect yuri bait
>>70332731
There's a fuckton of fan art from Korean, Chinese and Japanese fans (though it's mostly shoot)
And it's dubbed in Japanese with some well known vas
I'm wondering what role John's CIA boss they introduced at the start of S5 will play.
>>70332599
tumblr pls
>iphone/mobileposter
>tumblr image
>>70333023
>He doesn't use all social media to find good art
Japan uses Twitter, pixiv and tumblr
Koreans are mostly on tumblr
And Chinese are usually on weibo and tumblr too
>>70333023
It's just a platform. A platform which some artists (for a reason I can't possibly comprehend, since most of them aren't amateurs) use to post art.
Chill.
>>70333269
Then ignore I said tumblr, but my iHate stays the same, it led to the demise of this site.
I'll leave it there to not derail the thread.
>>70333317
>>70333269
>>70333177Also, as the person with the iHate, imagine all the disinfo the Samaritan/Machine could be shitposting at the speed of light. All the copypasta, saved and forever reposted.
>>70333317
It's all I can afford right now anon.
>>70333023
honestly don't get the hate for it, loads of great artists use it now for posting their work since it gets a wider audience than just deviantart
>>70333393
Resizes, no unified layout, no commenting function (reposting for commenting is shit).
No way to filter for just image posts on the dashboard, as far as I know. Nor on the artist's page. Archives are wonky at best.
Also, not all artists use a tag for their own works, so sometimes I have to sort through reblogs. Thankfully, only complete newbies are that retarded.
>>70333511
they've added a commenting function! granted i think it only shows on dashboards...it's a real reply type format, but its something. i do miss the interactions with others like on deviantart in terms of commenting/answering questions.
and true not all artists tag themselves, but thankfully i usually find their actual tumblr so i just follow those
>>70333619
>and true not all artists tag themselves, but thankfully i usually find their actual tumblr so i just follow those
Problem is, sometimes artists use their blog for both reposting other stuff and posting their art. And if they don't tag their art, you have to wade past reblogs, text posts, blog posts, etc. just to get to pictures you want to look at.
Pixiv and Deviantart may also have somewhat shaky tagging systems, but at least they don't allow artists to have somebody else's stuff on their page.
What show will alleviate my pain after this finishes?

Why else did you think Greer keep doing that?
Samaritan even knows how to depixelate video and improve video quality.
>>70333810
I'm thinking about Samaritan running 7000 simulations of pure sex just to fuck (heh) with Shaw.
Virtual reality future can't come soon enough.
>>70333810
That old bastard needs to hook me up with those videos. Hell hook me up with the gear I need to go fuck simulation Root.
>>70321811
It felt like a simulation. I don't want to believe that Elias died in one second after they went to all that trouble to reveal that they faked his death. I don't want to believe that Finch was that careless. It really felt like it was going to reveal the Machine vs. Samaritan simulation counter just counted another loss for the Machine at the end, but then it didn't. It looks like that's just what happened. :/

root was never supposed to be on the show as much as she was, but because shaw got pregnant irl they changed script

I've only watched the first of that. Whats up with the second?
>>70334084
It was dog shit and difficult to watch
>>70333754

So we need to get Samaritan working on decensoring hentai and JAVs?

No, they were considering killing Reese but changed it to Shaw after she got pregnant.

>>70334479
No idea.
>>70334479
it absolutely did, so did tumblr.
So is the show case of the week?
Kinda want to watch it, but case-of-the-week is getting stale for me
>>70333754
Watch dennou coil
>>70334589
Starts of case of the week but evolves before it becomes stale.
>>70334589
it starts off procedural but then the overall arc of the series is god damn interesting and it's brought up quite a bit. definitely worth it.
i hate cbs shows and htis is liek...the one i felt was so anti-cbs in its format.
>>70334679
>the one i felt was so anti-cbs in its format.
Must be why it's on it's way out after the next couple episodes.
>>70334589
That's how it begins, but it becomes more serialized as it progresses.
>>70334737
I don't understand why every show has to be so formulaic. Its not interesting and it cripples shows. Limitless was a great example. It had great characters, fun tone, but was bogged down by being case-of-the-week.
>>70334811
I enjoy case of the week shows with an overarching plot that develops throughout the season.
>>70334737
yeah... it's a damn shame, it's really one of the more unique shows out there but sadly yeah at first glance it looks like your typical procedural.
hell i didn't give it a try until s3 then watched an ep and was blown away by it despite not knowing all the character names and stuff. it forced me to go back watch the entire earlier seasons and i fell in love with it
>>70334874
>hell i didn't give it a try until s3 then watched an ep and was blown away by it despite not knowing all the character names and stuff
I've forgotten what that feels like, damn I can't remember the first time I actually watched tv. The internet is just way too convenient.
>CBS cancels Person of Interest
>Executive Producers wanted the last season's story to be more serialized

>>70334874
>hell i didn't give it a try until s3 then watched an ep and was blown away by it despite not knowing all the character names and stuff
Same here, the first episode I ever saw was the S2 one where Reese's old partner sticks a bomb on him and Doug Stamper and makes them commit crimes for her.
>>70335022
>>70335164
yeah i don't remember why, but i think i just left the tv on cbs for some reason on the background and the show came on. suddenly i started getting all interested by what i was hearing in the background then got so engaged with it and the characters.
the show has fantastic characters both good and bad. i was shocked.
>>70335259
forgot to mention the ep in question was the one where Control was torturing Root. Holy shit, that was an amazing scene.
Plus the bit they added with the high pitch frequency noise doing morse code...i knew then this wasn't the typical cbs show
>>70335335
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbbjYyXGxJ0
>>70335031
damn shame, man
looking forward to their next project but i am going to seriously miss all these actors and characters
Wait, Elias' death was actually 20 minutes into the episode.
But nah fucker probably means Cocoa Puffs.
>>70334874
>at first glance it looks like your typical procedural.
Yeah, definitely. I gave it a shot when it originally came out because Ben Linus and I dropped it after like two episodes.
Fortunately I got a recommendation to watch it until at least episode 7 before deciding. Needless to say, I stayed with it afterElias's number came up in S01E07.
>>70335515
Yeah, i have to admit even though i got hooked, the early eps was a bit har dto get through but then as it progressed it got better and better.

>Simmons: Then why the hell are you here?
>Elias: Well, there remains a debt. Civilization rests on the principle that we treat our criminals better than they treated their victims, that we not stoop to their level. But you and I are outliers; we're not really a part of civilization. We're something... older. Which means, of course, that we can do the things that civilized people can't. I offered to kill you for Detective Carter many times, and she always said no. She was civilized to the very end. I don't think she liked me. But I liked her very much. You killed her. So now I consider it my responsibility to fix the particular problem that is you, Officer Simmons.

after seeing the mpov boxes earlier in the thread, i'm hoping to see more fanart made for this show.
shame it's ending so soon before i think more people getting on board with it, but yeah ;_;
So, what do you think Harold will do to fuck it up for Samaritan?
I think he'll create a few more AIs running on the the likeness of those of the crew who died, the Elias AI would be a fucking nightmare to deal with. Or we'll be shown that he had managed to get the other AI projects that were on the work before the Machine won the race, and he was working on them
Something just occurred to me, what if Finch is planning on killing the President as a means to discredit the Samaritan program's ability to prevent terrorist threats and have the US government cut ties with Samaritan?
kek this is the first time I've actually had a confrontation with an SJW on twitter. They REALLY are this fucking bad.
>>70319072
Benjamin Linus now wear glasses?
I predict the person who kills Greer is...Greer. And then he may or may not wake up out of his own simulation. Or maybe our entire reality, everything we ever saw in the show, was just a simulation that the Machine runs in 2001, and the series finale events cause Harold to destroy all AI back in 2001. Harold leaves the building, goes to a coffee shop, and meets with Grace. Maybe Harold sees Reese or Fusco there, and gives them a knowing smile. Fade to black.
>>70335760
Hands down my favorite scene in the series. Sometimes I find myself reciting it in my head when I'm bored.
>>70319072
crying over a tv show
>fucking kill yourself u fucking homsexual
>>70336854
Hey i'm pretty sure everyone's shed a few tears to a show, either because it's really good at conveying emotions or just because it hits close to home.
I don't get how people can fucking bawl about it though.
>>70337097
this show has been pretty damn good at getting me misty-eyed and i do admit i've teared up over a few scenes (shaw's sacrifice, root and finch in the hotel room where she was going to kill that woman to protect him etc)
as for full on bawling, fuck, sorry but Lost pretty much did that to me quite a lot back in the day. Couldn't help it.
>dat sun and jin death scene
>>70336854
You messed up your green texting there, buddy.
>>70336714
They need they safe hugbox and everyone of their "likes" needs to be a mary sue or have plot armor.
Not that if anything, this centers that Root is an essential character to the series (unlike imo Carter) and having her voice chosen as the analog interface of The Machine.
They should be praising rather than bitching, but hey, its in their nature to be hypocritical idiots unable to see the bigger picture.
Finch gonna fuck this Samaritan little ass.
predictions on next deaths?
mines reese -> shaw -> samaritan -> harold -> machine
with fusco getting away

This.

>>70336579
Nothing so elaborate, beyond elaborate trolling of Samaritan's power structure that is. Strategic, almost chaotic strikes designed to take over as many of it's operates as possible, up to Greer himself.
You know, as a warning.

>people are actually giving a shit about a CBS show
Is this the true death of /tv/?
>>70338554
that's thanks to cbs rushing the entire season, the bastards. on one hand yeah it's great 2-3 eps a week but on the other hand, show ending so much more sooner.
fuck them, i'm gonna miss this show so much
>>70338725
that's the thing, it's so very unlike a CBS show, and that;s why CBS is getting rid of it. It's a WB show and not CBS made
>>70338741
>show ending so much more sooner
Eh, I tend to think that it's better when a procedural show ends too soon than drags on for years.
Story-focused shows are another thing.Damn do I miss Firefly.
Did that stuff actually happen? President authorizing assassination squads in Laos and having the FBI spy on his political rivals?
Is that even something that was suspected? Something that actually happened that the world didn't even know about? Was that a real truth bomb after so long or just fiction?

Never, happened, you can trust me.

There is one victim and one perpetrator, one good person and one bad.
>Which is which?
>>70328485
>Why do I feel like this is about something else entirely.
Because we've had Harold's POV the whole time. I think there's a strong possibility root's tampering plus Finch going immoral is going to cause The Machine to go off the deep end.
Remember when root said that Harold was the reason The Machine isn't evil yet?

Because procedurals can be broadcast forever in any order they want to fill up slots on the schedule, and that's why CBS bought it.
They're cancelling it because it went serialised and that's no longer possible, they just have a handful of episodes from each season they could do it with, but they won't because that would mean getting someone to watch them all and write down the episodes they could air out of order without being confused.

That's pretty depressing desu. Maybe if the crew wanted to do it, they could just make another series that's just pure procedural set before Samaritan, hell I'd still watch it. 40 minutes of John and Harold saving a number every week, and they can still keep it interesting for a few seasons I'm sure.
