Plus you can always lie to yourself that you'll ration them out yourself to 1 or two a week but actually stay up for a whole week binge watching the shít out of the show any ways as you slowly turn into a zombie.

Fixed that for you.

Followed by another two week break. It's really extracting the urine at this stage.

...and another two week break after the episode on the 24th.

don ramo

they dont know what to do without shaw, they would have been better off killing her off, the main story has to take a side track until she returns and samaritan can be central to the plot again, the last 2-3 episodes were pure filler,

but i dont know why they dont use the time to do some elias dominic stuff, or more about control,

'Person of Interest' is the worst of all the drama shows I watch for taking breaks. It's following an old old model.
Cable shows generally do a straight run of their 10-13 episodes with maybe a one week break for a national holiday and the flow is a lot better.

Other network shows though now also adopt the cable model despite having their 22-23 episodes. 'Agents of Shield' on ABC for example took an 8 week break, showing consecutive episodes in two solid blocks (and smartly inserting another Marvel show in between). The result means it's a lot smoother. They've done the same for another of their shows in 'Once Upon a Time', which also has two solid blocks with a long break in between. Far better and proves main networks can use this method.
CW also tends to have bigger gaps and more regular blocks for the likes of 'Supernatural' where you might have a four week break and then 4-5 episodes but not this nonsense that CBS are doing for 'Person of Interest'.

So just because it was the model that it used to be, doesn't mean it shouldn't change: Others have proven that it can be and work fine.

A great episode.

Good man John:D

Mr. G

Loved that episode but not the 2 week break again.

FreudianSlippers

Great episode!

Taraji P. Henson back as Joss Carter

At least we great 2 episodes in a row before another gap.

CastorTroy

Think Root and Samaritan agent need to take fight scene lessons from Banshee.

Mr E

Strange episode with an air of melancholy. Quite clever in a way (John turning up the heating every few minutes). I liked it, but didn't love it. Nice to see Carter again - she left a hole that hasn't been completely filled in yet.

Agent Coulson

It is another episode where we see John grow as a human being again.. He started out as a machine.

Mr. G

Personally I find John's personality boring. I found this episode boring.

I find Root and Martine much more interesting as characters

FreudianSlippers

An odd episode. Well done if not a bit on the boring side. I'm not sure if John's fate was supposed to be a cliffhanger, because he's clearly saved.

Strange episode for sure and _almost_ a clip show! It struck me as filler PoI style! It really was great to see Carter back. Seeing her again made me realise how much I missed her from the show. Taraji is a great actress. She's really a standout on Empire at the moment.

Nice to see John being a little more human but it was the first episode in a while that nothing much happened. They've certainly earned a filler at this point though. I've been so well entertained this season so far.

I can't help feeling though that the season has kind of lost direction since Shaw was abducted. It's almost like they don't know what to do while she's out of the picture. I had really expected Dominic/Elias to come back in focus for the rest of the season.

Mr E

...aaaaaaaand back to normal.

That episode was like The Empire Strikes Back. All hope is lost. :eek:

I fistpumped when something happened to a certain someone.

don ramo

wow that was some magnificent return to form, not that the 4 or 5 were bad, but they had strayed off story for a bit,

i just wonder how the hell their gonna pull this off, its either gonna epic or were in for a world of disappointment, but given the show record i expect the first option:), so much awesomeness for one episode,

and thank **** they killed that stupid robot bitch, christ shes been bugging me for ages :pac::pac::pac:

Mr. G

Loved that episode!!!

Lucas Hood

Did Johns hair look different this week to last week?
Lot darker or something.

FreudianSlippers

Given that they have confirmed

only one machine will make it through next week alive

, after this week I'm feeling like it'll be

Samaritan

, meaning next season is gonna be :eek:

I'd nearly go the other way. I think

The Machine will survive and next season will be all out war between Dominic and Elias. Elias has already shown he can prevent The Machine from knowing what he's going to do, and Dominic is copping on to it too.

Great episode! I don't know about anyone else but I almost cried when Root and Harold were captured and it looked like they were going to take Root out of the game.

Elias looks like he's leveled the playing field with Dominic after this. Although this storyline was good I found it less compelling than the main attraction.

The soccer mom cum Samaritan agent was a good foreshadowing piece.

They're definitely back on form. I'm wondering if the machine has actually given away it's location however. Once Finch and Root were free it could have told them it was anywhere as long as the location looked plausible. In fact, looking at things from the Samaritan point of view, the most efficient and reliable option was e the cochlear implant. While I could see the Machine giving a Samaritan agent a painless way out, Samaritan is cold, logical and uncaring.

It's a rare show that makes you care about it's characters so much. It's a shame that Sameen is now on Team Samaritan. I'm hoping though that she's playing a long game and still Team Machine at the core.

I'm hoping she might be as she did ring Root saying "I need your help". The best part of that last episode was this part:

I love the Root v Martine thing! In fact the whole "interchangeable" thing I loved. Can't wait for the next episode.
