Person of Interest [** Spoilers **]

Nalz

Root as the nannie... Oh lord what I wouldn't do!

CastorTroy

Ashur! Wonder if we'll have him join Team Machine down then line or if he'll be a mole.

The whole Root/Shaw relationship is great in this series. Root commentating on Tomas' seduction was brilliant.

Yep, and a fantastic one at that.
Oh Gosh, that last scene. So many possibilities.

How do you mean? Because the relevant numbers guy might switch sides and help them bring down Samaritan or because Samaritan has identified Shaw?

Agree on the Shaw and Root relationship. It's such good fun. There are so many well written, strong women characters on this show.

Those two, and how it could play out. I know some people are theorising that it could be a plot twist that Shaw is staying not because she cares, but because she's a double agent for Samaritan (or will jump sides because of her identity being revealed).

MOH

I'm a few episodes behind so avoiding spoilers, but just came across this, including:

Another Brit Adam Laurie of Aperture Labs also used NFC to bust a LG Nexus 5 through forced Bluetooth device pairings, a plot observers noted that was part of TV flick Person of Interest.

I'd seriously doubt both

Agent Coulson

Best episode of the season so far.

Ageyev

S04E08.....

....

Really good episode. Interesting development with Shaw. The Dominic stuff is a bit sub-The Wire.

I thought the overlapping covers/motives were a bit sloppy. Can't wait for the next Root vs. Rousseau shoot-out,; it will be tense. I expect casualties.

Mr E

Great episode, nice ending.

Alfred Borden

Still the best show on telly atm

Agent Coulson

I love the way all the sides are picking up soldiers along the way for the war that is coming.

Nice to see Reese flirt a bit as well and add a bit more to his wooden ways.

I can just see Fusco & Shaw having a drunken one nighter after a close call. The awkward moments that would cause after would be so fun to watch

Agreed. That was the best eposide so far. Can't wait for the next one.

I wonder what happens next? They said they want to make it a show where anything could happen (look at Carter when she died), Shaw is a just as much a beast as Carter, if not more.

Do you think Samaritain will ever be brought down?

Once again PoI is doing the sort of stuff mid season that most other shows couldn't quite pull off for a season finalé! This week's episode was cracking. The sense of danger with John possibly getting exposed to IA was great. I love how this show treates love interests in a standoffish way that doesn't detract or obstruct the plot. Looks like John will be in line for some out of hours private counselling sessions before long!

The dominic plotline is great. He's a good replacement for HR and I'm hoping the stakes rise quite a bit there. Next week looks like a cracker where they're going to have to protect Elias. That final scene with Shaw and The Samaritan agent was fantastic! I hope Shaw has more than makeup in her handbag! I suspect she does!

While I was watching this week it occured to me at one point how lucky we are to have this show. It's absolutely first rate and is one of the finest week on week shows I've seen in a long time. I think it'll go down as a classic.

CastorTroy

The undercover IA agent was like a Shaw in training.

As has been said, this show is great every week. And to say next week will be good as well is stating the obvious, but definitely looking forward to it.

Turtwig

Enjoying this season but seriously praying they won't pull a switcheroo and have the Samaritan agent falsely identify the woman buying the make up from Shaw as the target.

Really really hoping they don't. But I can see it happening. Tv shows do it quite often.

There is some fan speculation that Shahi is pregnant based on the way they've been filming her in the last few episodes(above chest, subtle blocking,creative angles for full shots) so if it's true and they're writing around it, the Samirtan storyline is probably set up to let Shaw go MIA for a few eps.

Having her alter ego's job having her stand behind a near chest high counter.

Could be very true

Loving the return of Elias, always brings a calculated, civilised and cold business manner to proceedings. He is played so well by Mathesar.

good series , whats with the flirting between Root and Shaw though , as one critic said, they should get a room and then let me in that room ;-)

Only caught a bit of tonight's episode.

interesting developments with Elias and Dominick. Samaritan baddies stepping up their game too. Looks like a serious war coming.

Turtwig

There was an episode?
Thought there'd be none for thanks giving week.

Nope, new episode this week. Haven't watched it in full yet but it looked like a good one.

Mr E

Great episode, action packed.

The next episode looks like December 16th.

Agent Coulson

Look like the fans are right about Shaw

wearing a big overcoat to hid the bump in this episode and looks like she is going to be writen out for a few episodes.

Mr E

I expect a big cliffhanger involving her at the end of the next episode (

a kidnapping perhaps?

)

Alfred Borden

This shows just keeps raising the bar every week!

CastorTroy

But I'll miss Root flirting with her. was thinking with the way Root kept holding Shaw in the lorry that if Root was a guy, Shaw would've felt it.
And Shaw wearing a great top for a shoot out.

Have said it before but the characters are great in this. The mutual respect Team Machine and Elias seem to have for each other, Dominick not being your typical street thug.

Good to see Fusco bring shown to be able to think quickly and catching the agent out. Do you think he should be brought in on how they know to help?

And Anthony clearly got to Dominick's man judging by the reaction when Dominick said they can get more soldiers

Mr. G

Great eposide.

I miss Root's teasing and how cool out she was without Samartain.

Likely. Shaw isn't going to leave it sit as it is.

I think Fusco may be problem in the next few episodes.

CastorTroy

Why do you say that? Or is it based on trailers? I avoid the trailers due to possible spoilers.

I was kinda disappointed we didn't get to see Shaw waking up and her reaction.

He is in trouble. Samaritan's agent knows that he is involved somehow and will keep an eye on him.
I think that Anthony did get to Link and I think that will be Dominic's downfall, you could see it in Link's eyes when Dominic casually stated "You can always get more soldiers". He is not a leader worth laying down you life for. I think that Link had massive respect for Anthony by the end.

Obvious view of "The Bump" when Shaw was getting onto the bike.

squonk

QUALITY! QUALITY! QUALITY!

So many shows could learn all kinds of lessons from Person of Interest. I definitely think this will be looked back on as one of the great shows of the Teenies and I'm delighted to be able to say I watched it when it aired!

I thought we'd finaly gotten our 'Shaw and Root in a cosy room toegether' moment when they ended up in the back of the furniture truck! Sadly not to be! . Fusco definitely looks to be on Samaritan's radar now as well and it'll be hard to see how John doesn't get pulled in very soon too, especially with the Samarinions doing the rounds looking for himself and Harold.

The Elias story was great. Intelligent as always and it was nice to dig a little deeper into his background and his closest associates. I don't think Link will be Dominic's rigtht hand man now in the same way Anthony was for Elias after that chat. I've a feeling Link will ultimately be Dominic's downfall. How that happens I'm not sure but anything can happen in this show.

Once again the stakes have been upped. Hardly 10 episods in and we've got the team's covers now in danger and the samaritan threat getting more and more serious. Really they should just cancel the Emmys this year and give them all to the show. It more than deserves them!

Mr. G

Next one is gonna be good!!

Samaritan shows its power by erasing crime from the city for a day in an attempt to force The Machine out of hiding.

Any one find anything else? Can't wait!

Are we on the mid season break now???

Back on the 17th.

MOH

One of the things I love about the show is how well they constantly weave in real-world stories. I'd only happened to read a follow up article about the cancelled California one iPad per student program a few days before I caught up with 4x07. Back tonight.

SherlockWatson

Holy crap I didn't realise that was a real story, that's deadly.

Mr. G

Was it good?

Agent Coulson

That was an amazing.

The sit down between the Machine and Samaritan wow wow wow.

DeWitt

Incredible face off, and to hold his own against Acker. He's gonna go far.
Loving team Samaritan overall too. They're all so effortlessly charming.
Looking forward to seeing how all of this plays out. Hurry up January 6th. I hope we're not heading towards some casualties.

Mr E

Great episode, the Samaritan kid was a great little actor.

SherlockWatson

Am I the only one who thought the kid being the voice of Samaritan was a bit far fetched?

Great episode and acting though, love this show.
