This show NEEEEDS a comeback season, and I know the perfect way to do it
Remember the episode "Critical" (S2E7) with Alistair Wesley, the MI6 operative who tried to force the surgeon to kill her patient? At the end of the episode, he somehow calls Reese and says him and Finch would be hearing from him again very soon, which implies that Wesley knows a lot more about Reese and Finch than we were led to believe. However, this plot point was never followed up on...
My pitch for the return season starts with an opening scene where Wesley learns that Reese was killed by the explosion on the rooftop. Knowing that Reese being gone makes Finch vulnerable, he decides its finally time to return to NYC and hunt down Finch in order to get revenge and obtain all of Finch's assets. With Reese gone, Shaw & Fusco (who we know were alive at the end of the show) would be Finch's team & protection. The reason THIS story in particular would work so well is because you could include flashbacks to Reese and Wesley's history working together, which they both discussed during their conversation in S2E7.
And since Wesley would be going after Finch and his assets, you could also include flashbacks showing how exactly Finch got so rich during his youth, and how each of his alias names came to be (Harold Whistler, Harold Crane, Harold Martin, etc). This entire return season allows Jim Caviezel, Michael Emerson, Sarah Shahi, Taraji P Henson, Kevin Chapman, and Amy Acker to ALL be apart of it by means of the plot and flashbacks.
I only wish I had the right connections to pitch this idea to a producer or other member of the POI team. I'd work on this for free if they wanted me to LMAO
What stands out the most?
She was so incredibly nice and took her time to talk to everyone who came to see her. Truly an amazing human being.
Here is a project I worked on, maybe I will continue one day (UE5 VR).
Yep I've decided... ROOT is by far my very fav character in POI ... If you haven't seen watch Amy Acker interviews she's an amazing person irl too ๐๐
Imagine if the show went heavy into deepfakes. They did a bit with the radio guys voice, but I donโt remember any visual ones other than the Thorn Hill Image.
So back in the day there was live samaritan android themes they were primitive but served a memento mori kind of purpose. That we are never safe from technology and its extreme capabilities. Been watching the show once again and tried to find one of those but last time they were updated was like 8 years ago. I think someone should create a brand new one with chatgpt or some sort of actual ai integrated. As an engineer myself I would like to help with whatever i can for this. Yet Im not a proper programmer. Any ideas guys?
So I'm watching through again for the nth time, and on s3e21, Greer has Samaritan scrub info on Finch. I didn't see any clear explanation for this, but if Grace only knew Finch as "Harold Martin", how would have Samaritan found her by scrubbing data for "Harold Finch"? Possible plot hole? During her interview, she mentions Harold having the surname Martin, but nothing in the episode really told me how they justify how they find Grace unless there is something revealed previously that would prove that Harold is using multiple names and that Samaritan figures this out.
At the end of the episode after Fusco cuts ties with HR, Simmons anonymously informs Carter that Ian Davidson was murdered by a cop. What I never understood is why Fusco just didn't simply tell Carter what really happened rather than having her spend the next few episodes investigating.
This is how it should have been handled at the end:
Fusco: "Hey Carter, you mind if we talk privately? Remember that one cop who was working undercover with a smuggling ring. Well, Ian Davidson was associated with that smuggling ring and he was going to expose the cop's real identity to them. John asked me to destroy the files, but Davidson caught me before I was able to escape. He was about to shoot me in the woods until John came in the nick of time and shot him first. Instead of informing the cops about Davidson being killed, which I wanted to do, John had me call HR to help cover up his murder so that I can be his inside man within the organization. Also, that anonymous caller was Officer Simmons, who is a high ranking HR member. Now that you know, we can actively work together in bringing HR down for good rather than keeping you in the dark."
Edit: The scene where Carter refuses to hear Fusco's dark past makes sense when it comes to his involvement with Detective Stills' gang since that was before he met John, but Ian Davidson's disappearance is much different compared to Stills. The only connection they have is that John killed them both and had Fusco essentially bury them. Fusco didn't even have to spill his entire dark past to Carter, all he would had to do is just show some evidence exclusively to Carter that Davidson was a corrupt IAB detective who was going to kill Fusco all because he was trying to protect an irrelevant victim's real identity from being revealed. Carter can't exactly get mad at that since she already allowed John and Harold get away with several illegal things and committed some herself. Though obviously this doesn't excuse his dark past with Stills since that was going to bite him in the back sooner or later with or without HR having Azarello frame him for his murder.
Iโm looking for creative questions based on the top. Of course it can be not only related to Person of Interest but also any other paper she had done in the past. I will have the opportunity to meet her so I will try to ask a question based on what you comment.
I forgot about Harold when he was dosed. Michael Emerson performance in those scenes were SO GOOD๐คฃ LOVE Michael๐
When root ties up shaw, anyone else notice that shaw could have just.... Slid the ziptie forward?, ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
The machine canonically (depending on your use of that word) somewhat shipped fusco and root for the fun of it>! in if-then-else in one of the simulations fusco kisses root root questions fusco and fusco just says "hey we're in a simulation"!< i just find this really funny for some reason.
I'm rewatching and Jon and Carter are on a stakeout flashback and he said a rock song was a classic which got ne thinking to what each character would listen to.
So, Jon is a rock man.
Harold is classical.
Shaw I reckon likes hard-core dancey music.
Fusco is a Sinatra fan.
Carter I reckon likes classic RnB with a but of hiphop.
And for some reason I can see Root listening to Belinda Carlisle or others 80s classic.
I am rather confused about this bc IIRC Carter destroyed the phone which was previously bugged from Finch and Reese. (In the very beginning of the episode when Carter enters her home and Reese was already waiting for her)
Later, as time passed by and Carter was headed to the judge for the warrant she used another phone, calling her family. (Ex and son). As she finished, we had a short look on her phone, the display showed the number of John. But she didn't called him.
It was clear that the judge was a traitor. Carter had to face her death, staring at the gun from Simmons. However, when she admitted making the mistake to underestimate Alonzo Quinn, all hell broke loose. Reese storming in and saving Carters life. How the heck could he knew? I fail to find the tiny piece of a thing which could be connected to the situation.
Can someone enlighten me? Did I miss something? Thanks for help!
This video will prove it:
Just finished watching through the show again. It was my first re-watch since watching it live. It's pretty incredible how many things they got right and basically predicted a decade ago.
I'd never thought about it until now. She and >!Root!< obviously never really got to be a couple because of >!Root's death,!< but how strange must it have been for Shaw after? Because it was established that she has trouble distinguishing real events from simulations, so every time that she and Root got together in her simulations are just as real to her as if they actually happened. So she has all these memories of being with her, but she also knows that Root didn't share those memories, which must be a whole different kind of loss.
We're left with a god (the machine) that was forgotten by its creators and that survived the battle with another god where the battleground was the earth. This is a modern adaptation of ancient mythologies at this point.
