Is it true that CBS canceled “person of interest” because of “big bang theory”?

I’m so pissed off man.. like season 5 everything happened so fast.

End of s3e19 I’m confused

There is an episode where they go to find the machine and it has moved itself. Then s03e11 and 12 Control reveals herself and is looking for the machine and Samaritan. When does Control get control of the machine back? How can she shut it down in e19 if it has moved itself and is just spread out across cyberspace? Did I miss a plot point in a previous episode or is it just something I’m supposed to accept?

On The Best Series All Time

⚠️There are spoilers so if you haven't seen everything, don't read!

I finished Person of Interest yesterday and damn what a masterclass I cried like shit but damn it must be said that it was inevitable Reese knew from the first episode of the series that it would lead to his death, the anecdote enough funny by the way, I had seen a few episodes on Tmc around 14 years old (I'm 20 years old today) except that unfortunately before I didn't have the possibility of watching the entire series, well like an idiot I had seen on youtube a video of the end of person of interest seeing Reese's death etc... so overall I knew Reese's death but Root (whom I didn't know before because I had seen a few episodes of the season 1) well after watching a few weeks ago I didn't expect to see her die before and that it was only a representation of the machine at the end, in short this series will have continued for me throughout throughout my adolescence that I will never forget, it's a shame there isn't a spin-off or something...

Person of interest

I just finished watching the Season 4 finale for the very first time, and I am in awe of how beautifully it began and was executed. I loved the scenes where the Machine itself took care of John. The exchange, 'Can you hear me?' 'Hell yes,' and the heartfelt conversation between Harold and John were amazing. The last five minutes were phenomenal. When the Machine itself spoke, saying 'Father,' that entire conversation was brilliantly written. It brought tears to my eyes, especially with the song 'Welcome to the Machine' playing in the background. This was exceptionally well-done in every aspect. I never thought a computer program could evoke such emotion. In my opinion, this is the greatest episode in television history, especially those final five minutes. I also appreciated Greer's part. This show is exceptional. The writing and production are flawless. I am still reeling from the Season 4 finale. What do you all think?

Poor thing she was so starved of love and attention

The moment Harold asked her what was wrong, she immediately responded. Even when she was dying, she respected his wishes and kept her distance... The Machine is a better person than most of us

On my second watch through and it's even better this time

I started the show a few days ago for the second time after thinking about it a lot recently. Haven't been as emotionally invested in a show and it's characters like ever?? I just finished season two so you know how it is... I just needed to share my immense appreciation because I feel like I'll combust if I don't <3

Theory: The Machine is Remembering Some Events of the Show

Throughout the show, we can see the machine skipping through time. At multiple points however, we can see that the timeline extends past the "present" where the machine is viewing. For instance, in season one it is 2011/2012, but the timeline goes up to 2013. At the end of season 2, it is the year 2013, but the timeline goes all the way to 2017, maybe past that.

Therefore, it is my theory that at some point, the machine switches to telling us a story instead of monitoring the world.

At some point between season one and two, we transition from watching events unfold to witnessing a story unfold from some point in the future.

Maybe the machine skipping through its memories in the moments before it "dies" (I don't remember the year it was lore wise in return 0).

Just my thoughts. Criticism or comments welcome.

Looking for the "grace theme" halp

Greeting fellow assets, as the tittle says, Im looking for the song on the score with that beautiful slow violing that plays almost every time Harold sees Grace in contemplation or nostalgia. Hope you can be of assistance, thanks.

Just Finished My First Full Watch Through

WHAT. A. SERIES.

I remember when it was originally coming out on CBS, but never watched the entire thing through. I knew about certain things through different clips online, >!like who Root was and John's death!<, but I didn't know other things, >!like Root's death, the brotherhood, or Elias still being alive after being shot.!< Now that it's on Amazon, I have been watching it over the last several weeks.

I love reading science fiction, so this series kept me entertained the entire way through. I also loved how they brought back characters who they encountered, especially towards the end of season 5.

Great series overall, now I just want to watch more or something similar to it. Anyone got suggestions?

Why ShotSeeker (S5E5) is a special episode

The episode itself feels just like any other episode but if you think about it… it’s actually one of the most unique (this post could be considered as containing spoilers so if you haven’t watched to this point best not to read)

When you think of a “person of interest” as in the victims and perpetrators whose numbers Finch receives you might think of a banker or a janitor or a psychiatrist. We have seen many special persons of interest such as that young billionaire tech dude who John has to follow to a different country or that middle aged billionaire tech dude who had a hunch about Samaritan (there’s a lotta tech dudes in danger I guess).

However… these are persons of interest with positions of power rather than abilities. We’ve still had a lot of persons with unique abilities like assassins etc but I think Ethan Garvin was the first and only person of interest “born” with a special ability and skill. Especially if it must be required for the plot.

Ethan is far from the most interesting POI we’ve seen however again I believe he is the first POI with I guess a superhuman ability if you wanna call it that. But never mind Ethan. The ShotSeeker system itself is very impressive as I think we can all agree.

I believed this deserves its own paragraph so here it goes… The reveal of Elias’ survival of the season 4 finale meanwhile overall not really shocking even when viewers first watch the episode, it does make this episode notable

Overall it is pretty much just one of those episodes where it is just meant to be an average episode HOWEVER with Ethan’s superhuman ability, the ShotSeeker system (I’ve only just finally understood rn why that is the name 💀) and the reveal of Elias’ survival do make this one of the most notable and special episodes without really any Samaritan, the machine, shaw story developments.

In terms of enjoyment I’d say it’s in the bottom half of episodes for me personally as despite these things it feels more grounded than most episodes with less action however yeah still an episode that really does stand out. Wouldn’t be surprised if some people here would say it’s their favourite

Watching the series

I am watching season 1 and it kind of feels like leverage except more crime, more serious, less romance though I am watching season 1. It might get better. I don’t know much about the guy who played John Reese but judging by the tv tropes page, he had some interesting moments on set and with some other coworkers. What do you guys think about the show?

Question

How The Machine can access all kind of video/audio devices while Samaritan needed permission from the Government to access the feeds? (I'm at the start of season 4)

Noticed on rewatch

I’ve just noticed that this is Angel Batista (David Zayas) from Dexter. There’s quite a few actors I’ve noticed that make appearances in both shows, there’s one in the very next episode and also 1x09. Possibly more, but it’s really cool to see!
