Person of Interest 1.23 "Firewall"

Post-season one fic is currently a go (in spite of my abject terror at the idea of SO MUCH PLOT); I'm now collecting music for a writing soundtrack.

So far I have several songs the show has used (by Unkle, Massive Attack and others), but it turns out that there are a few bits of Person of Interest's soundtrack that I do like. Undecided about The Machine's theme but I quite like Root's theme. (The finale version of Root's theme has some interesting changes in it.)

Moving on to the final episode of season one! I don't have the mental energy to do a point by point recap, but I will say that it was fantastic.

Corwin! Her steady, careful monitoring of Finch, her paranoia-- how much of that is justified? Finch doesn't believe the Machine itself was responsible for Ingram's death, but rather the people who know about the Machine. Corwin's point about making God still stands, though.


Aaaaah, she's in the Library Lair of Loneliness!




Amy Acker's calmly calculating villainy as Root! First the calm, professional psychologist, then the potential victim... and finally we get a full smile as she reveals who she is. I'm assuming she's had previous experience with firearms; certainly her demeanor didn't reveal any dismay at committing murder.



Finch's completely freaked-out expression! (Heh, not a good day for Finch and the ladies.)

Carter and Fusco and the whole bathroom conversation...




"Hello, Detectives."

and then the car conversation in which Reese was a total troll...




Zoe Morgan--ahahaha, that line about how no woman alive could fix him. Hee.


John: so pleased to see her! Thinking, "Must. Not. Smile."

Breaking and entering on her own! So is that another case of Reese setting a bad example (heeeee!) or was this already a skill set/habit before she met Reese?



Fusco sends an anonymous e-mail about the corrupt cops in HR. Oooh, initiative from Fusco!


"I did good, didn't I, Carter? Didn't I? Yes?"


Corrupt HR cop Simmons was walking away near the end. Did Fusco not manage to include him in that anonymous e-mail or was Simmons making a get-away? Hmmm...

And then Reese is all adrift, only the Machine calls him! Well, we assume it's the Machine, anyway. Could be Root, I suppose. Or one of the other people who knows about the Machine's existence. Or a random phone call, heh.




Random stuff! Taraji P. Henson at the wheel, driving past a billboard of her movie Think Like a Man. Bwahahah! (I can't claim credit for noticing this first.)



And Reese, looking fine.
