Question about fingerprints?

I'm still on Season 1 Episode 18 but given bith Finch and Reese are supposed to be dead and givent he nature of what they do, isn't it weird they are so unconcerned about leaving their fingerprints everywhere?

My favorite episode so far

Season 1 episode 17, Baby Blue, where Reese and Finch “kidnap” a baby.

This episode’s cracking me up and I’m only 20 minutes in. Finch steals the baby and tells John in the car with the most shellshocked look on his face, and a hilarious detail I noticed is the headlights right behind him like he’s driving 30 in a 65.

The cashier congratulating Finch for having a kid, John showing up to a meeting with Carter with the kid in a sling and the kid has his black beanie on. This episode’s adorable🥰 and all I can think of is… “Dada…or dada?”

Edit: kid crawls off and finds a tear gas grenade, and Reese and Finch start arguing like a stressed, long time married couple 😂 I love how motherly finch is, his next alias should be Harold Hen. These guys are treating her more like a grenade than the actual grenade 🤣

Edit 2: oof the most upset I’ve seen either one so far is when that kid’s in danger, goddamn. Fuck Elias.

Music rights?

Who owns the rights to Ramin Djawadi’s composition? I’m trying to figure out if they’ll let me buy a license for a project.

The moment Carter and Fusco both realize

I'm re-watching the show for the millionth time, and I was looking for the moment when >!Carter and Fusco realize they're both working with Finch and John!<, and I just found it. Going to leave it here in case anyone else is ever looking for it: S1E23 at about the 32-minute mark.

Just finished again..

Finished the show for the second time, my first as an adult and god does it hold up. Beautiful story, well-developed characters, brilliantly crafted so that all the main storylines have the impact they truly deserve. Don’t have much to say analytically that hasn’t already been said but, definitely cried at the end. And in the middle. I love this show & everyone in it. Also, how did I just notice Root & Shaw’s names are both Sam?

What if

So I was thinking what if carter hadn't died when she did, how her interaction with root would be like after root became part of the team.

Because among all the characters carter is probably the 'most good' character, and she even sometimes question how john does things, and root is completely different matter , so do you think carter and root would ever get along?

Minor annoyance with PoI

Are we supposed to believe that it's too dangerous for this AI to give even 1 or 2 summarized sentences as to why it's giving the ssn? Coming from the IT field, there is such a negligible difference between sending a string of alphanumeric characters and a couple sentences or paragraphs. I just find it annoying this genius didn't have the AI send a summarized block of text for each person.

Is there any recap for the first 2 seasons?

Root was already flagged with yellow box

In S01E23 , when root was Caroline Turing and the machine already established as admin. I really love the series makers for taking the effort to keep these Easter eggs.

Season 2

Re-watching S02 and What do you think about root actually getting all her wishes at the end of S02 and you could say she won in S02. Because at the start of season she wanted to set the machine free and it's even better that now she has her God in her ears 24 hours.

Monte Cristo cameo

Season 1 Episode 7, the kid picks up a book he’s reading in school, the Count of Monte Cristo, says something about the main character being a survivor and John smiles- loved the cameo, I’m so glad they put that in there :)

Is POI worth a rewatch?

Let me clarify; it's obviously a good enough show to rewatch. What I more mean is, are there elements to it you can spot on a rewatch?

For example, Mr Robot. Mr Robot was INCREDIBLY thought out from the start. There are elements in Season 4 that were foreshadowed in the very first episode of the show. Does POI have anything like that, like things that foreshadow Samaritan's introduction to the scene in the first season, or the introduction of Elias well before the storyline of Reese's first encounter starts?

Just found this series!

SPOILERS BELOW

So came across this series at the weekend by a reel on fb.

I LOVE IT! On season 3 where Carter has just passed! Can’t believe it! Cried a little not going to lie but I am HOOKED! it’s so good and can’t believe there aren’t many seasons! Love Reece and Finch!

I love crime shows and have watched white collar and svu criminal minds etc but this one is so different to all of them!

Not really a question but just to say it’s fab!

Best scene (and best music) ever

One of my favorite scenes (and favorite pieces of background music in a show) is at the end of 1x9 Get Carter. When Carter looks out the window and sees John driving away on the motorcycle, knowing that he's out there looking after her. Love it.

Finch's bodyguards

Obviously shows change things around (and I acknowledge it's just a show :-)), but it always bugged me that Finch started off having these professional, 24x7 bodyguards, and then one day they just disappear and are never mentioned again.

Revisiting some moments from Season 1!

Ok, this scene was quite heartbreaking plus the song in the background was equally heartbreaking! I always say, POI has the best songs ever and this song perfectly complemented with "Wait for me, please" moment.

Elias and carter

Elias and carter really came a long way, from 1×09 where Elias paid someone to kill carter To 3×10 where he takes revenge by killing carter's murderer.....or should I say watches his friend kill Carter's murderer.

Prime

Like many others, I enjoyed streaming the show on FreeVee and am disappointed it's fallen behind an Amazon paywall and not offered as free streaming on Prime. Can anyone link a source that confirms it will, eventually, come to Prime streaming and not as a rental/purchase option and when that will happen? I'm not interested in illicit means of streaming the show, just wondering when it will legitimately resume its free streamability.

It's a Bummer

I mentioned on a post last week that I accidentally stumbled across this show after falling asleep while watching a movie ("Law Abiding Citizen [which coincidentally has same actor playing the "CIA spook']") on Prime Video, awaking to the beginning of S1E1 playing via Freevee (through Prime...it had ads, but like 30s per episode, so no problem).

I liked it and continued to watch, making it through the first three seasons and part of season 4 by the end of the week, listening through earbuds while working and watching before bed.

Then I woke up on like Thursday or Friday morning, went to find where I was when I'd fallen asleep the previous night so I could continue the series, just to discover that it was no longer on Freevee. I looked it up and all I saw were options to buy or rent episodes on Prime, YouTube, etc.

I was pretty bummed out. With partial attention I pay to content while working, I'll usually rewatch a series as soon as I finish to pick up what I've missed. I didn't even get to start season 5.

It was getting to that "how could things get worse?" phase, after escalating the tension and danger for 3½ seasons. With "The Machine" being so powerful, almost omniscient, they had to have an antagonist with comparable ability for there to be a real threat. The name is evading my memory at the moment, but the other AI, run by the old British agent, was filling that role. However, it began to feel like a stalemate, knowing that they can't just defeat the AI and end the threat, so they ran through episodes where it would send enemy agents or criminals, our heroes would defeat them, wash, rinse, repeat.

It did begin to feel a bit contrived (oh, now he's a critic), as nobody knows how a truly sentient AI like the Machine would work, so when they're writing for it and need tension, it's glitching, ignoring them, making rational emotionless decisions, making emotionAL decisions, etc. It kind of reminded me of Age of Ultron, where Jarvis and Ultron interact digitally. Jarvis is dead, no he's not, the plot needs him to reappear, whatever.

I guess my point is that they can write anything they want to progress the plot when the entities are digital.

Oh, and I guess my REAL point is that it sucks that it disappeared from Freevee before I finished and does anyone know what it might be on now? I have the basic versions of Prime, Netflix, and Disney+, Hulu with Max add-on, maybe Paramount (if I forgot to cancel), and I'd probably be willing to pay for a month of something else to finish the show, but I'm not paying $1 or $2 per episode to watch the remaining 25 or 30.

Streaming? Where do I watch now?

I’m US based and just started POI last month. Not really a binge-watcher, so I didn’t get that far on FreeVee. Any recommendations for streaming?
