its scary how Samaritan is predicting human behavior

 

[kvz5]

I hope Fusco will still be around next season. I'm dreading that he won't have anything to do. Anyone else laughed that the show now totally embraces the Shaw/Root flirting?

 

[Kaleb]

something worth noting is that when the Machine was first created there were exactly 7 people who knew about its existence and had to hide because of it. A good portion of that original 7 are now dead.Now, there's a new group of 7 in the know about Samaritan and had to hide from it again.

Yes, I absolutely love that.

Great use of music once again with Radiohead's "Exit Music (For A Film)". It was down right chilling.

 

[Snow Queen]

The comments on the Facebook page for this show are ridiculous. Half of them are just calling for the show to basically stop all the science fiction and AI elements, get rid of Root, Shaw and Greer and just have every episode be stand-alone and following the same format. Because that would be so much more interesting.

 

[Kaleb]

I really hope that next season or further down the series they will address the issue about why Reece and Finch were tasked with taking out the senator,instead of Root.Hopefully there is a reason for this, you have to think that Finch is now going to be in a very dark place due to those action(or lack of)

Because that would be so much more interesting.

I made the mistake of checking another forum after last night's episode and it's ridiculous how much they hate Root and Shaw. Basically, to them, any scene that has either of the two is trash and the show "NEEDS" to "bring back the focus to Reese and Finch". They make it seem like Reese and Finch are only in the episode for 5 mins. I understand not liking the characters but it seems to me that they are only hating on these characters because they have this delusion that they're threatening Finch and Reese in some way.

I've been wondering about that too. Root would not hesitate to kill the senator if the machine just sent her. Maybe it's a test for Reese, Finch, and Shaw but I'm not sure what that accomplishes.

 

[Kaleb]

Im done with reading other forum board comments about this show or any other.

by the way, I suggest you guys listen to the latest Nerdest Writers Panel podcast ft Jonathan Nolan and Greg Plageman, they basically discuss everything about the series from how Jonathan came up with the idea to why Bear was cast and where the shows is heading

I'm avoiding looking at places online about the show aside from here and another forum I'm on. Everywhere else seems to just be filled with what you mentioned and wanting the show to be just about getting a number and stopping a crime every single week. I'm so glad the internet doesn't affect things like this often, otherwise the show would be dull.

Oh, and I'm rewatching from "Death Benefit" through "Deus Ex Machina", and I noticed another clue:

Spoiler

When Garrison visits Greer at the end of "A House Divided", Greer seems to know exactly where Collier is at the moment in advance. Of course, knowing what we know now...

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm going to have to give it a listen after I finish marathoning a different show.

PERSON OF INTEREST Season 3 Finale Post-Mortem: Greg Plageman and Jonathan Nolan Tease What Comes Next

You’ve been upfront about not intending to do 200 episode of the show. As you look to arc season 4, are you going into this as, say, the start of chapter four out of a five chapter book? Or are you a little less sure about how long the show will last for?
JN: What do you think, Greg? How much more of this can we do?
GP: [Joking] I’ll probably be dead by the end of next season.
JN: Greg and I went into this knowing what the last episode would be, knowing what the last song would be, and knowing what that last moment would be. And the fun of television is when you’re having fun and working with great actors and great writers and an amazing crew — as we are — we get to chase down different paths and different ideas. And we’ve had these ideas of different waypoints, or chapters, as you said, and sometimes we adjust to this. -

I started to watch this series about last year when Shaw was introduced and I was hooked. I managed to catch up with the past seasons while season 3 was about to finish and I must say, this is surely one of my fav. network shows. I don't know why I didn't watch when it first came on.

 

[The Sage]

THIS WAS AWESOME! THIS WAS AWESOME! THIS WAS AWESOME!

Seriously, totally unexpected. I thought Finch's cover was blown. Kudos to who mentioned the satellites from last season. Greer was strangely calm during the trial, I should've caught on then.

I felt bad for Collier. Last week made him sympathetic despite his actions. And the finale made him even more. I can't believe Samaritan made it online. They paid the price for letting the congressman live, poor Finch.

Totally unpredictable, and I loved it!

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

Great final. Everyone was top notch even the Hursh ( spelling ? ) was funny
I like the slick Samaritan UI and how it communicate.

Person of Interest' Executive Producers tease Season 4 AI battles and the Root and Shaw 'ship

I don't know if you guys know about 'shipping --
GP: What? What is that?

JN: Don't be coy, Greg. You've been teasing the 'shippers all season.

Person Of Interest's Creators Had To Fight For The Show To Include A.I.

The big question is, can Samaritan develop a conscience?

It's going to be "a lot more complicated" than viewing Samaritan as the evil A.I. and the Machine as the good A.I., says Nolan. And one big question, in season four, is what Greer intends for Samaritan to do, and "what precepts and ideas he has altered it with, beyond its original coding."


But don't call Greer a fascist, says Nolan: "Greer's worldview has been framed by a life-long campaign against fascism. This is a man who grew up in England during the Blitz and joined MI6 and participated in all of the messiness of the second half of the 20th century — the Cold War, in particular, in which you had these massive regimes doing battle with each other." Greer came to the conclusion that "humans make terrible rulers," in part because of his experience with fascism.

 

[Jack Bauer]

I was like, "Aw, Shaw DOES care about Root.... or maybe she still wants to kill her and keep her alive because of that. Or maybe its both."

Person of Interest: Our Hero's now have secret identities

What does this mean going forward then?

Plageman: The series is fundamentally changed, but in a really interesting way. Our heroes are on the run. What Root did is what she said right at the end of the episode. That this was always about pure survival. And she's created a way, even though our heroes are on the run, for there to be a way for them to hide in plain site. And the interesting aspect here too is that there's now a proliferation of another intelligence. A more powerful one. A more aggressive one, certainly more so than The Machine. And how our heroes will be able to conduct themselves under that umbrella. I think it's going to be really interesting. We're still going to have numbers. Samaritan is now tasked with taking on the relevant numbers because of the deal that Greer made with the government. He's going to be getting those feeds. But the question then becomes what happens with the irrelevant numbers.

Nolan: Their mission continues. It goes back to what Finch said at the beginning of all this. I mean forget the neo-Orwellian state and the bigger problems at hand, The Machine is still spitting out numbers. The country, and the world, continues to be a place where chaotic s*** happens. And so they've got to spin that plate while trying to take out the God's head that has surreptitiously taken over and dug into the U.S. Command and Control. There's a quixotic mission at the heart of the show and that never goes away. The show is very much written in that superhero key. It's a world that I love. If our superheroes up to this point have been anonymous - I mean Finch has dabbled with having different fake identities - but whether it's Root or Reese or Shaw, they're these enigmatic figures. Well now the world has turned and they're going to need their secret identities.

They're going to need to be grounded. They're going to need to be normal people. And from a character and performer perspective, we just found that irresistible. And truly the only outliers in this world right now are those who don't exist online. Try doing anything in this country if you don't have a credit record. You don't exist. And the delicious fun of where we will find our heroes next season will involve what they'll be doing and what kind of normal lives they'll have to be leading in order to hide. It was an opportunity that we couldn't pass up.

 

[kvz5]

I'm excited to see them in their new identities. It'll be hilarious for sure.

[ravn0s]

fantastic finale.

 

[TheVileOne]

Are we positive Hersh is dead? His death did happen offscreen.

 

[Kaleb]

Are we positive Hersh is dead? His death did happen offscreen.

Well considering Control was reading the final autopsy report for Hersh, Id say yeah he's dead.

Quality finale, I did not see that swerve coming with Vigilance, I was as shocked as Collier! The ending had an ESB vibe to it, a bold way to close out the season with our heroes down but not out....just barely.

I'm looking forward to seeing them all in their new everyday existences, and seeing how they balance that with coming together to investigate numbers and start to come up with a plan to beat that smug fossil Greer.

BTW Did Hersh have the worlds most resilient flak jacket on or was he just no-selling those bullets?

I hope Fusco will still be around next season. I'm dreading that he won't have anything to do. Anyone else laughed that the show now totally embraces the Shaw/Root flirting?

Oh you'd get "pandering to shippers " comments in the Arrow forum. I love the Shaw and Root dynamic, I'm glad Root survived the season, I didn't think she would.
