He always seemed a little odd but damn, he's full on looney tunes!
Wanted to post a Twitter thread about what some POI crew members have said about working with Caviezel, but there are f-bombs in it.
But a short summary: he refused to do a scene where he would save a gay couple, he couldn’t be trusted with sharp objects so the crew would put Reese in a balaclava and have a stunt man do what needed to be done and on several occasions he actually needed to be told to stop bringing up Hitler.
That’s not entirely true.
He refused to do it at first, but relented when the producers explained to him that the firefighters at 9/11 (who Jim idolizes) didn’t ask the sexuality of someone before they saved them.
There is zero chance Root isn't alive. They drop so many obvious hints about it. Even if you hadn't told me, I would have figured it out.Five years since the last episode aired and I'm just finishing up rewatching the series again. Love this show. Never going to forget Michael Emerson showing up to an interview to drop that there was a deleted scene of someone riding off on a motorcycle. Give me the scene, damn you, Nolan
**** Jim Caviezel while we're here though.
I wish it would have been the usual 23 for odd number seasons. You can tell they left a bunch on the table for Elias, Root/Shaw and no Clare. Also I am pretty sure Control would have returned. But they made it work overall. Especially the bookend.The shorter final season made the final season that much better. Virtually no filler.
I will repeat it until I'm blue in the face: there are too many weird things around that supposed death for me to buy that was how it was intended to go when they wrote and shot it.There is zero chance Root isn't alive. They drop so many obvious hints about it. Even if you hadn't told me, I would have figured it out.
God, is this show good. The way they constructed the final scene is special. That they did it with only 13 episodes and short shooting schedule is amazing. Root is the TV GOAT.

It depends on what you do with the episodes. Season 3 and 4 are pretty close to perfect television for me, and that includes the majority of the "fluff", By the time the got around to those seasons, they had so much in play, so many characters and plot lines, they made it work effortlessly imo.IMHO shorter TV seasons > longer TV seasons.
Season 4, episode 9 The Devil You Know.Anyone remember in which episode Shaw poses as a make up seller and it ends in a shoot out ?
Season 4, episode 9 The Devil You Know.
Ehhh… kind of.IMHO shorter TV seasons > longer TV seasons.
Ehhh… kind of.
I think there’s definitely greater quality control, but it’s gone a little too far lately. Falcon and Winter Soldier being six episodes? Are we British now??
22-24 episodes is a tall order and with very few exceptions, there end up being a few stinkers. But as far as shorter runs go, 13 should be the standard. 10 at the very least.
