It's not a big episode when it comes to the "mythology" of the show, but it's a very solid episode with a well-written primary story and a nice mythology tease, plus some very strong guest stars. It's a shining example of this show's true strength. That simple and straightforward can still be compelling television when you have good writing and actors who always bring their A-game.<br /><br />The other thing I was reminded of is that I wish the show would bring back two of this episode's guest stars. We've never seen Julian Sands' character again, that's a shame. And while I used to think Leon would be annoying if we got too much of him, now I'm not so sure. Almost like how Fusco seemed to find a purpose in Season 1 while helping Team Machine, Leon seemed to really enjoy himself in this episode. He reminds me a little of Hardison & Parker from the show Leverage. Sure, he likes making a buck, but he's also in it for the fun, and I think over time he'd discover that helping people would start to mean something to him.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943327351499919454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-57739686236832565842013-09-27T04:50:22.761-04:002013-09-27T04:50:22.761-04:00I loved Finch getting all squeamish during surgery...I loved Finch getting all squeamish during surgery. For someone so sanguine, it was a fabulous character beat.<br /><br />Leon is a hoot. I hope we see a lot more of him. When he fed Bear the rest of bowl of noodles, I burst out laughing. Everyone finds a way to bond with Bear.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-78066374909325442942013-01-04T11:11:21.371-05:002013-01-04T11:11:21.371-05:00Another great, intense, edge of y seat episode.
(...Another great, intense, edge of y seat episode.<br /><br />(LOL about the CBS Gods. SO I can safely assume that NBC is run by Devils, especially with Community's treatment ????)<br /><br />(LOL 2 with the doggy Skype) (poor dog)<br /><br />(LOL 3 for the Lost references)<br /><br />Finch's reaction to "You're the boss. LOL Payback for last week.<br /><br />"The latrine's passed down the periodicals." Oh nice change : shooting now in the foot. Another bird reference : Dr Crane !<br /><br />Yes, that would be great to have the return of the Brit. Awesome foe !<br />celticmarchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018881585193380762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-41884572743194725382012-11-19T05:46:46.139-05:002012-11-19T05:46:46.139-05:00Allo, Josie.
Nice review.
It was great to watch Ju...Allo, Josie.<br />Nice review.<br />It was great to watch Julian Sands again.<br />He was great and downright frightening and of course so creepo in Warlock.<br />Hope he comes back in PoI.<br />As for Enrico Colantoni (Elias), i guess he comes to PoI more often once his series Flashpoint finishes its final season.<br />Have a nice day, Josie.PlatinumRosebudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11426871129709203669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-82207292976143274262012-11-16T22:42:30.369-05:002012-11-16T22:42:30.369-05:00What makes Person of Interest so amazing?
I was w...<i>What makes Person of Interest so amazing?</i><br /><br />I was wondering exactly the same thing as I started watching this episode. This show should be silly. In some ways, it is silly--but it embraces it campiness in a way that allows us to enjoy the silliness while maintaining ironic distance. That's all I can figure out in terms of my increasing love for this CBS show.<br /><br />The Hot Pockets might be a <i>Lost</i> reference: Hurley threw one at Ben in the fifth season. But that's a stretch. I'd hoped that the book Finch gave Leon would be a <i>Lost</i>-related book, but it wasn't.<br /><br />I think they should have just called Alistair Wesley "Julian Sands." Because that's who he was playing, wasn't it? <br /><br />Great job noticing the parallels, by the way. I was just so happy to see someone thrown out of a window in the very first scene that I missed them entirely.Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.com
