Person Of Interest - Part 2

[Kaleb]

I see Amy Ackers has a guest role in an upcoming Agents of Shield episode, cant be surprised by this ,it was only a matter of time before she reunited with Joss.

Peter Collier using the opening line of the shows intro....wow

last production meeting of the season

 

[Hunter Rider]

The ep had a bit of everything, some cool action mixed with humour (Reese spearing ther guy out of the window. ) a good story and all tied into the overarching plot at the end via the awesome scene between Root and Greer.

I love the dynamic between Shaw and Fusco.

Cool to see Nazneen Contractor again.

 

[kvz5]

Fusco had some really, really funny stuff at this week's ep. Is it bad that the first thing I thought at the falafel joke was Batman Begins?

 

[Man in the Suit]

I think about BEGINS every time I hear somebody say falafel. lol

 

[The Sage]

This week was great. I laughed at the henchman on the elevator. They've rolled out that actor several times over the seasons. I think he was used a few episodes ago.

Is John Reese competing with Steve McGarrett in tackle warfare?

When did Lionel learn Shaw's real name?

Is John Greer a boss or what?

 

[#root]

Shaw and Fusco are great together. Every scene with them has been great. Also, Root continues to be awesome.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

I found it funny that either Shaw or Fusco called Root "the cochlear cuckoo" or something along those lines.

Interview with Michael Emmerson

Mr. Emerson went on to tell the interviewer, towards the end of season three there is a darker side to Finch than we have previously seen before. In a courtesy clip from CBS from the previously aired episode 3×15 “Last Call”, the perpetrator was a mysterious voice over the phone who Shaw (Sarah Shahi) described as being Finch if he were evil.



While most of us do believe Harold Finch has been a truly good guy, everyone on POI has been shown in shades of gray. What events will happen as we head to the conclusion of season three to bring out more of that evil counterpart? Not necessarily bad, but harder.

I can only assume what he does involves is caused from what ever happens in episode 3.21 ''Beta''

Grace makes a return. I can only assume the title ''Beta'' is some sort of reference to Decima doing a test run on Samaritan,Decima tries to locate Harold with Samaritan and determines that the only way to get to Harold is by Grace

pretty interesting theory on what might happen in the final

So I've heard other users around here asking about why the machine considers Samaratin could be a threat. Fact of the matter is, Samaritan would be a pretty formidable target if it were indeed strong AI, or, as they call it in the show, genetic programming. One would think that the machine would be able to surmise ways to nip Samaritan in the bud--it has not done so. Is this a flaw in the machine's abilities, a second-too-late incompetence from our protagonists, or is this something the machine actually intends to happen?

My prediction is that at the end of the season, it'll become clear that the machine--having had so many multiple generations of reprogramming itself, improving itself with hard AI--has anticipated the events that are unfolding this season and has allowed Samaritan to be built only to assimilate it. Think about it, the machine has a clear software advantage over Samaritan if it was built and put online in 2005: it's has so much time to rewrite itself. Samaritan is only a baby in the software department but now has state-of-the-art hardware. Samaritan is the perfect target for a predatory machine to advance itself and maintain dominance.

Essentially, Decima Tech has become a pawn for the machine. They're a means to acquire cutting edge hardware and allow the machine much greater performance. If the machine is indeed a sentient being, what else would it strive for but progress? Perhaps we will come to see that in some ways, the machine values its own personal progress over the safety of human beings. That would be some strong AI.

looks like some serious S*** is about to go down.

 

[Snow Queen]

I'm curious what the multiple mass casualty events are and if they will be touched upon.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Sounds like the excrement will hit the fan if the Machine is forced off-line or the team is cut off from information. Makes me curious as to what Root is tasked with doing now. I'm thinking the team of hackers she helped assemble will come into play soon.

 

[#root]

I was laughing all through this episode right until that ending. For a second there, I thought the machine had been turned off and mu jaw was on the floor. But then Root got that weird excited look and ran off. I wonder what her new mission is.

 

[Kaleb]

I'm guessing that team that Root assembled will now come into play , obviously the Machine knew this would happened so it got root to assemble her team.

Info on Roots Alias ''Augusta King''

born Augusta Ada Byron and now commonly known as Ada Lovelace, was an English mathematician and writer chiefly known for her work on Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. Her notes on the engine include what is recognised as the first algorithm intended to be carried out by a machine. Because of this, she is often described as the world's first computer programmer.

Judging from the image Kaleb posted and her reaction to that moment, I'm assuming she's getting all the numbers that would have gone to the government now.

some SPOILERY pics on the set of the final episode

Spoiler

looks like Hersh has teamed up with John and Fusco

 

[Calavera]

has anyone here heard of the game watch dogs? i am really hyped for it and someone told me if i like that game's premise i would love person of interest. is it that much seeing?

 

[slimshady247]

Sorry to barge into this thread, but if I'm a big Nolan fan, would this be a good show to start watching?

 

[Snow Queen]

Sorry to barge into this thread, but if I'm a big Nolan fan, would this be a good show to start watching?

Absolutely. It's phenomenal. Just be sure to start from the beginning.

 

[slimshady247]

Oh yeah, for sure. I just need(ed) the push to watch it really, haha. Thanks.

Though if anyone else has a response, I'm open to those, too.

I may just start watching this though.

If you like sci fi and crime genres, go for it.

 

[slimshady247]

Haha, indeed I do. I guess I'll probably start watching then.

Plus I love Jonathan Nolan so this should be fun. How is the show formatted exactly?

 

[Kaleb]

This shows writing is just great, its something that you would expect from a full length film and not a series.

 

[Snow Queen]

Haha, indeed I do. I guess I'll probably start watching then.

There are stand alone episodes with a case of the week format, particularly in season 1, but then lots of over arching arcs and seasons 2 (particularly the second half) and 3 move more in a serial direction with almost every episode adding to the overall plot in some way, I'd say.
