So he did ok!<br /><br />I too recognised Amy Acker's voice straightaway and gave a little shriek of joy! Root's back!!!! Now, what is she doing with PT? Does she know he knows about the Machine? I'm guessing yes, it's too much of a coincidence otherwise.

You're right, sunbunny, I think it's just that I was expecting more out of Mira, given how mysterious they made the plot out to be. And loved the Zoe cameo, but disappointed that she wasn't really connected to the plot somehow :p I suppose given her character's job I thought she'd thicken the plot a little.<br /><br />I think Finch has some sort of means that generates a constant revenue stream for him. He seems like the kind of guy who'd have lots of failsafe measures on standby (e.g. him taking care of his fiancee's work, backup cover identities). I'm sure he wouldn't let himself get stuck just by running out of money.<br /><br />PoI's really smart: it always has a kickass ending. Even the most formulaic of the episodes (which are still way above average) have something at the end that just hits you and makes you wanna watch the next one.

That, by the way, was the same episode in which Alicia discovered that Finch, not Ingram, had created the machine and was probably still actively using it.<br /><br />So, whether or not PT actually knows anything concrete about Reese's connection to the machine, he at the very least suspects that Peck may have told him something about it...and he knows that Reese is a dangerous adversary, because he took out a three-man CIA hit team, all by himself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-13678838965872632702013-02-18T01:58:15.985-05:002013-02-18T01:58:15.985-05:00sunbunny, I do exactly the same thing with the not...sunbunny, I do exactly the same thing with the notes and the pens, so I don't think it's insane.<br /><br />I actually hadn't read your review when I posted my earlier comment, but now I have -- what a fun review.

He was all about containing Machine knowledge in Bad Code. Does he know Reese knows? Has this been explained?

Zoe! And Reese! Finch as a snarky concierge! A kitchen fight scene! Carter shooting the guy in the back! Mia Maestro! (We have similar coloring, and I like to imagine that, if I were to become a very beautiful version of my regular self, I'd turn out looking like her.)<br /><br />According to the PoI wiki, Mr. Pennsylvania Two (which also sounds like an old-fashioned dance: the Pennsylvania Two-Step) was one of the original 8 people who knew about the Machine. That's really confusing, though, since he clearly has linked Reese with the Machine, which seems like a really big deal: http://personofinterest.wikia.com/wiki/Pennsylvania_Two<br /><br />Speaking of the wiki, the page on Bear is quite fun, since it's written just like a page for a human: http://personofinterest.wikia.com/wiki/Bear <br />Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.com
