Person of Interest was the last truly great TV show. We shall never see her like again.
I HURT MYSELF TODAY

>ywn murder your way across NYC with your ambiguously brown not-gf to avenge the death of one of the few people that ever gave a shit about you.
That entire arc was pure revenge porn and I loved every second of it
I love how the Machine always knew he wouldn't kill Simmons because even though it watched him when Carter died, Finch didn't get his number until Silas found out what had happened.
Agreed
turned to shit when root was made a main character and shaw was introduced
That's a pretty fucking aberrant opinion. Root and Shaw were brilliant.
True.
I miss it so much, bros...
>started watching POI last year
>fell off at the start of season 4
>started picking it back up last weekend
kneecapping jesus is best boy forever. I already know mostly how it ends since I watched the final season as it was airing, but I don't remember any of the finer details of it.
>watch final season first
???
I used to keep CBS on every night as background noise and it happened to coincide with it.
Well its all better in the proper context. Unironically one of the best shows in years.
Remember when Samaritan actually went online? That show was kino
Indeed, too based for its time
WELCOME MY SON
Another case of PoI using music really well

cringe and plebpilled
The episode when they introduced Shaw mostly works as a pilot episode as if the show didn't exist before that point and was so fucking cool as a result.
I can't believe there are some anons who don't like Shaw.
You'd think this board would appreciate a turbo autist like her.
/pol/ zoomer incels are far too obsessed about gender politics to appreciate a good old fashioned hot grill doing action stuff
>they dont like watching two hot girls kung fu fight and then lez out
where did it all go so wrong?
where did all these slack jawed faggots come from?
They were born too late for xena

no they fucking sucked
Dunno... political seething ruins everything. Can barely watch crap on tv lately, media is obsessed pushing diversity, come to Yea Forums see a thread about it, and it's just seething /pol/tards lashing out at everything.
Wish we could just have comfy kinos like PoI. Did it have girls lezzing out? sure, but it had that lost "hot" feel that nowadays is completely lost. It's not "what happens" but "how it happens" and the reasons why it's part of the plot. None of the stuff that happened on PoI felt like an agenda driven event where showmakers try to use gender identity as a shit substitute for character personality.
Person of kino
Bear and Fusco are best boys.
show was pure kino but man carter was boring as shit. Shaw was a great replacement.
Why was Harold's relationship to the machine so kino?
>but it had that lost "hot" feel that nowadays is completely lost
Probably because the girls were actually hot. That's a lot to ask of hollywood in current year

I liked Carter well enough but I really hate her actress.
Even moreso now that she's done interviews complaining about her time on PoI. In other words, her newfound fame went to her head and she got uppity because Carter wasn't the main character. Fuck her.
Because it was a very wholesome father/daughter relationship in the end and those are always nice.
>her newfound fame went to her head and she got uppity because Carter wasn't the main character. Fuck her.
Simmons was right to kill her
>Fuck her.
I would. up her ass.
thats gonna be a yikes from me
wtf. really?
I liked all characters... even Carter, but the actress shitting on the very kino that started her rise to fame is just disgusting.
I'm not usually one to binge watch shows, but started this thing and couldn't stop watching marathons of episodes for days. Considering, it's probably the best way to get a real understanding of what happens on the greater picture, since there are so many details that connect to previous ones and ultimately build for the end game.
>Considering, it's probably the best way to get a real understanding of what happens on the greater picture, since there are so many details that connect to previous ones and ultimately build for the end game.
Yeah, it lends itself well to bingewatching, and also to rewatches. Because there's tons of tiny details and callbacks to said tiny details that are easy to miss.
Yes ma'am, I'll seal the thread.
Reminder that Control had one of the best character themes on a show where everybody already had an amazing theme.
Wtf was her problem?
>Civilization is based on the principle that we treat our criminals better than they treated their victims
No it isn't. It's based around organizing ourselves so as to be able to catch and punish criminals.
nothing. she was a patriot who only ever wanted to protect her country
>opening narration by someone other than Harold
you know it'll be a good episode when that happens
>that punch-in to the Samaritan screen to the opening beat
doesn't get better than this
I wish S5 was longer, but what little we did get had so much good shit in it.
Post yfw this finally happened
How is this show so kino and no one knows about it?
Judging by some of the posts in this thread some of the posters from the old semi-regular PoI threads are here.
Feels good.
Always.
There's rarely any PoI threads anymore. This is likely the most underrated kino to ever go unnoticed. I just want more people to watch it so more people know about it.
speaking of kino scene
youtube.com
Jesus fucking Christ that was such a good scene.
Harold, arguably the most powerful man on the plant, who created AI (God really), and has been struggling to be moral and good, finally cracks.
>how his voice shakes
>the underlying rage
>how he doesn't even notice the agent in the room until he speaks and tells him "I wasn't talking to you"
>the Machine taking Root's voice
>deciding to go God-Mode
>the music
Criminally underrated fucking show.
>I wasn't talking to you
Finch borrowing one of Root's lines, fugg ;_;
When she calls, and then the confusion, followed by realization of who he's actually talking to and what that means hits him... It gets me every time. Michael Emerson is such great actor.
Holy fuck, so many extracts of this show are pure kino.

Just to add - even the machine and samaritan get their own themes and it's glorious.
Also:
>when you cast the perfect anti-Finch. The Devil to Harold's God
Not even just main characters, even Claire had her own theme and she was only in 2 episodes.
>It's a Samaritan's theme is just the Machine's theme reversed and it's fucking creepy and kino at the same time episode.
>And when it turns out to just be Nolans Uncle
Based nepotism giving us god tier casting
Samaritan could have and should have been able to find and kill them all at any time but repeatedly failed because its only as smart as the plot demands.
You seemed to forget root saving a select group of guys who are called on again to help setup servers to keep the team hidden.
>Samaritan's theme is the Machine's theme reversed
.... you just fucking blew my mind. I youtube'd that shit because it was too good to be true, and I'm listening to it.
I didn't know that but that was perfect casting.
The Machine was creating shifting identities for them constantly. Remember when they got into one of Samaritan's server bunkers, and inserted something? It was a code the Machine made to make Samaritan blind to the main characters.
It's been explained many times, and why it needed human agents to recognize the Machine's people, because it(the Samaritan) couldn't see them.
Only Root had the shifting identities. Harold, John, and Shaw each only had one that Samaritan was programmed to ignore, which is why them playing the part and not burning their identities was so important in S4.
Ah yeah, you're right. It's been a while. I just remember Root went to a Samaritan server farm and inserted the code which made Samaritan blind to the main characters.
But I remember now. It's why they had to stick to their new identities and couldn't do anything considered abberant behavior.
Harold a school teacher, Reese a NYC cop and Shaw worked at a perfume shop and was a bank robber by night.
>wanting absolute to the smallest detail realism on a fictional story
>finds something he considers a "flaw" and thinks his superior intellect can't accept it anymore
Sounds like one of the regular zoomers using muh realism excuses to shitpost on good things
Dont get me wrong, I love the show, and I consider it one of the greates underrated kinos ever made, but it had its flaws. This was not one of them though.
>ywn dance with Root
Agreed. I barely remember anything after that, just that they were a couple for some reason.
Until then it was a great show
The machine already exists, goy
