Are CBS Determined To Ruin Person Of Interest?

The Best Show TV Has Seen In A Long Time Could Be Headed For The Scrap-Heap

Love me some John Reese

Now I don't usually rant and rave about TV on this blog, but given that I have many reader who enjoy this blog, I decided this was the place to publish my outrage at what is being done to this show. Below is an article I wrote earlier for Persona Paper regarding this awesome TV show.

The best show hits TV screens four years ago and it has been critically acclaimed for all of it's four seasons, what TV network in their right mind would then push it back to premiere  Season 5 in January and only order 13 episodes. It sounds as though CBS think Season 5 will be the last, but anyone who watches this show and the slow way the writers have drawn out this story, it can not be wrapped up in 13 episodes in a realistic way. Some fans are wishing they had never watched this show, simply because they are certain they will not get to see the story the creators had planned over six to seven seasons.

If you love this show, then jump on Facebook and join every Person of Interest group you can find and join in the Twitter blasts that are happening regularly to save this show. The more fans that do this, the more likely it is that this show will be saved and the creators will get to tell their story and the fans will get to see this story play out on the screen.

Person of Interest; Masquerade, Season 2 - 3 Review

It's Back to Business for Finch and Reese


Reese is looking through some files in an attempt to track down Root, when Finch arrives at the library. Reese quickly puts the files aside and tells Finch that they have a new number. Finch glances at the information on Root; possibly wondering if Reese has a lead, but decides to let it go and focus on their new Person of Interest (POI). 

The new POI and her useless bodyguard

Reese sets off to find his new POI and in doing so sets up her bodyguard to get caught for shop-lifting; knowing full well that the man would be fired. Not Reese's problem when someone's life may be in danger. He manages to get himself hired as Sofia's new body guard. Sofia is the Prime Minister of Brazil's daughter and this young lady is a handful. She is no match for Reese and Finch and their methods of surveillance and tracking people down. What was interesting in this week's episode was Finch; it would seem that the ordeal with Root has affected him a lot more than he realizes. Finch looks to be suffering from some kind of panic disorder that is affecting his ability to do certain things. More about that in a moment.

Finch attempts to meet Reese at the park

It look as though Sofia has unwillingly and unknowingly gotten herself mixed up with some kind of mafia gang. Jack, her boyfriend who she is seeing behind her father's back is in it up to his neck. When Sofia's best friend turns up dead in the city morgue, things start to fall into place. Paul; another man who was in the penthouse the night Sofia visited there is mysteriously murdered. Sofia shows Reese the video footage of Paul going over the balcony. Detective Carter discovers a type of marking on his body which is how they link him and the others to a group called the 14th Street Mafia. Later on they go to a night club in the hope that Sofia's friend Gaby will meet them as planned, even though Sofia had not been able to get in touch with her by phone. As they are wandering around looking for Gaby in the crowd, a group of men start shooting at them, Reese pushes Sofia out of the way and tackles the men, he manages to get Sofia to safety. It is not long after this that Carter calls telling Reese she traced Gaby's phone to the morgue.

Sofia is very upset and blames herself for Gaby's murder. But Reese tells her it's not her fault. She tells Reese she does not want to go to the consulate and play hostess and wants to help find Gaby's killer. Reese says no, and contacts Finch to come and keep an eye on Gaby. He takes Gaby to the park to wait for Finch. Finch decides to take Bear for a walk, he grabs the leash and some treats and walks out the door. He gets halfway across a pedestrian crossing when he suddenly stops walking, and stands frozen in the middle of the road. Cars are honking and people are yelling abuse. He suddenly snaps out of it and runs back to the library, panting loudly. He calls Reese and tells him he can't make it. Reese says that's okay, he'll get Fusco on it.

The reality of his recent abduction hit Harold hard

Fusco arrives and Reese tells him not to let Sofia out of his sight. While Sofia and Fusco head to the consulate; Reese goes after Gaby's killer with Detective Carter. After finding some of the gang in a bar, Reese goes in to talk with them and ends having to take them all out. Carter states the obvious to Reese, that they are all out cold and now how are we meant to get information. In the meantime Fusco and Sofia are at the consulate and Sofia asks Fusco to give her a moment alone. He takes her to a private room and closes the door, leaving her essentially out of his sight. Bad move, because she sneaks out again to meet Jack who has been sent to kill her, because she is a loose end. Fusco manages to get there in time, however Jack gets away. Not for long, because Reese and Sofia track him back to the penthouse, and Reese dangles him over the balcony. He pleads that none of this was his idea, however Reese hands him over to Fusco, and he is arrested.


Meanwhile the investigation of Alicia Corwin's murder is still on-going. Carter goes down to inspect the body and notices a cut on Alicia's arm. The medical examiner tells her it was made after the autopsy was done. It is revealed by someone working for the Special Council (these are the people responsible for keeping the machine a secret; and they have orders to take out anyone who threatens the machine) that Alicia was carrying some kind of memory card underneath her skin and it had been cut out after the autopsy. Agent Snow is also there investigating Corwin's death, and Detective Carter runs into him at the morgue. He tells her he is not chasing John Reese anymore, which surprises Carter, and he is also walking with a very awkward limp. Later on when Carter tries to call Agent Snow, someone else answers his cell phone. This person insists on knowing when Carter had contact with Snow. Carter asks who she is speaking with, and they tell her they will be in touch. Not long after this a female CIA agent shows up at the precinct asking questions about Snow. Carter tells the woman that she needs to take care of her own business, Carter is suspicious of their questions and reminds the agent that one of hers turned up dead five weeks ago. 

Agent Snow, has been chasing John Reese for a while now, well not anymore

John's partner; Stanton from the CIA turns up again, and it appears she has Agent Snow working for her. They meet in a basement of some kind. Snow swears he does not know who ordered them to go to China, however she's obviously not buying it as she reveals the explosive vest strapped to Snow's upper torso. One writer speculated in a review of Season 1's; "Matsaya Nyaya" that Stanton could be Root; I thought the same at one stage too. Until it was revealed in the finale, that they were two separate women. These two women are double trouble and it would not surprise me if she and Root are somehow connected, now we know they are not the same person. Root is definitely not their only problem, this ex-partner of John's is trouble, not to mention the Special Council. Do Reese and Stanton know they both had orders to kill the other? Snow gave those orders; so I think his time is limited, unless Reese can save him. But why would he? Snow tried to kill him twice already. We still don't really know what Root is after when she told Harold she wanted access to the machine, there is still a lot of mystery going on. What is on the memory card that was inside Alicia Corwin arm? Do the Special Council know what Finch and Reese are up to? All these questions to be answered. I cannot wait for the next episode.

Person Of Interest Season 2 - 2 Bad Code - Review

The second episode of Person of Interest; Season 2 went to air in Australia on Monday night; John and Harold were re-united. 

After travelling all the way across the country to Texas; John and Detective Carter finally piece together the mystery that is Root. John is certain that Root is or was Hannah a 14 year old girl who disappeared over 20 years ago from a  town called Bishop; and was never seen again. It looks as though this may be the case until her body is dug up in someone's backyard. Turn's out, the library assistant's husband murdered this young girl and someone else assumed her identity for the next two years. Who and why is a mystery until we get to the end of the episode. Turns out Root had a bank account in this girls name and claimed some kind of reward for helping solve a crime.

The man who abducted this 14 year old girl was murdered a few years later; however this happened because Root made it look as though he had stolen money from drug dealers. She obviously knew or strongly suspected that this man had murdered her friend. Root turns out to be a blonde, and her real name is Samantha Groves. She was also the one who called 911 to report seeing Hannah get into the car on the night she vanished.

Missing, Hannah; is she Root's real identity

Every year on the date that this young girl disappeared, a copy of her favourite book was sent to the librarian. Not wanting to believe her husband was responsible for the kidnapping; she hid the books. John finds a receipt in the most recent book and traces where it was bought, and the credit card number. Seems as though Harold did teach John some computer hacking skills before disappearing.  John tracks the book to a store in Seattle, and then traces the credit card; it isn't long before Root uses the card and John realises they are in Relton, Maryland.

Meanwhile Detective Fusco is following Hersh, the special council's inside guy who was sent to tamper with Alicia Corwin's murder. Fusco jacks his phone and manages to get the address where he thinks Root is hiding out. He passes this information to John who goes to the house. He finds Week's body and Harold's cufflink and a code that Harold entered into the phone while Root was dealing with Weeks. John decodes the message and deduces that they are at the train station. 

John arrives at the train station and immediately spots Root. Root has a gun pointed towards a station staff member, when Harold jumps out of the wheelchair and pushes her to the ground, she gets up and runs out of there, while John races over to Harold. Harold complains that John was not meant to save him. 

They return to the library and Harold meets Bear. Bear has one of Harold's rare first editions in his mouth. John apologizes that he can't have Bear at his apartment. Harold tells John that he owes him a debt, John is about to say something when his phone rings. It is Root; who thanks John for solving the Hannah case and giving her friend a decent burial. She also tells John she will be coming for Harold when the time is right, John warns her to steer clear or she will be sorry. Root is undeterred and replies "We'll see." Root watches as the special council's men take away Denton Week's body.
