Here's To Hoping Nobody Gets Serial Killed.
I thought I might make an entry that wasn't about Person of Interest today, but no; you're still exclusively getting Person of Interest coverage from me. I'm up to episode 3.16, 'RAM'.
The opening sequence of 'The Devil's Share' is wonderfully done. Very, very striking, from the opening shot - panning out to Reese in the hospital bed, to Bear pining for him, to Finch watching over him - to the look on Reese's face as he walks away from the burning car, which I can't even find the words to describe.
The thing that really broke my heart was seeing Fusco at Carter's funeral, though. I really loved their relationship!
Reese is scary as hell in this episode and I love it.
I love both Finch holding a slowly dying Reese while trying to talk him out of killing Quinn and the fact that it doesn't work; Reese still tries to shoot, multiple times! I wasn't expecting the big emotional speech to fail; that's a really interesting outcome.
It's also interesting that Elias liked Carter!
Reese pouring a glass for Carter is very touching.
Holy shit, Finch personally buried his first assistant. He tried to say something to his body but couldn't find the words. I'm getting emotional about this.
Am I imagining things, or has this show suddenly stepped up the homoeroticism between Finch and Reese? Very homoerotic conversation between them outside the café in Rome; very homoerotic scene with Finch helping Reese put on a tuxedo at the start of the next episode. Their relationship has always been intense, but I haven't been feeling specifically romantic tension between them. Until now?
And then Shaw walked in on the assisted dressing and described the scene as a 'mildly erotic moment'. Maybe I'm not imagining things.
Speaking of homoeroticism, there was some chemistry between Shaw and the gymnastic burglar in 'Provenance'! I found myself a little disappointed that they didn't kiss.
The trouble with really liking the cases of the week for a show, it turns out, is that I get restless if there are too many episodes with Actual Plot in a row. Stop happening, critical overarching plot developments; you're not what I'm here for! I'm here to a) watch confused people having their lives saved and b) be embarrassingly hot for John Reese, and, although the big plot episodes still allow for the second thing, they're often sadly lacking in the first.
