sff: the Person of Interest is over for the summer edition

[lyssie]

May contain spoilers hazardous--LJ WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE UPDATE PAGE AGAIN. Uh, health. Right.

AAUAUAUASHASdfadkfghdkfgdfjkghdfADFKGJDFLKGJSFGHKJSNDFLKGJSAKLJ!!!!!

I don't know if I can articulate how hot that entire episode was--OK, I mean, like, the trial part was dull (Collier was always dull)

OF COURSE DECIMA WAS RUNNING HIM

(tbh, I was sort of speccing it was the Machine last week--to myself)

ROOT AND SHAW. They are amazing and THEIR FACES at the end. AND SHAW WENT TO SAVE HER. And they also kicked ass in their mission (I feel like making them all pretend to be normal people will only slightly hamper Root and Shaw, who are made of amazing)

And HAROLD. And Control. OMG, CONTROL, I LOVE YOU. Writers, thank you so hard from the bottom of my heart for doing that with her. For writing her as an AWESOME CHARACTER first, and then making her a woman. Because she was amazing, and her speech, her SPEECH in the courtroom, and saving Harold at the one point and OMG. <3 <3 <3 <3

I was so hoping we'd get Samaritan online at the end. I just wasn't sure how we'd do it--it was so inevitable that it would go online, and that we were screwed, y'know?

AND NEXT SEASON STARTS WITH MOSCOW RULES. MY FAVORITE KINK AND TROPE EVER.

(and the photo of JOSS,stop breaking, heart. STOP BREAKING)

And Hersch! I'm sad he's finally gone--I don't remember if I actually liked him until that time Shaw drugged him? But I appreciated him in a way. I think. BUT HE IS GONE NOW, nooooo. :(

I just. This was so amazing, and I am unsurprised at Decima.

However, however, I feel like the congressman (senator? idr) still has something up his sleeve. There was just something about the way he said stuff last week or the episode before that makes me think he's playing Decima in some fashion? idek. We'll see.

BUT CONTROL.<3

And Shaw and Root and Harold. And John. AND FUSCO. And Bear. Now we just need them all back for next season.

(I'm sad Carter isn't around. And I almost thought we would lose Finch at one point, there)

The end of the episode also killed me dead. I just. THIS SHOW. IT IS SO MUCH OF WHAT I WANT OUT OF TV.<3

It was an amazing episode, but I just hope the show is not going to become too dark.

I loved Shaw deciding to go save Root, they are so femslashy, and since this show is awesome, I keep hoping it will go there. And soon now, or it's going to go from slashy to queerbaity, and I have enough shows toying with my feelings as it is.

I'm half-terrified the show will actually go there, with Root and Shaw. Because I think they could handle it pretty well. But then the whole "no one's allowed to be happy!" clause might kick in. :/

I loved every moment of Shaw and Root.

I loved that last episode Machine, through Root, kept stopping Shaw from killing Control and now it paid off.

I loved how Control and Harold tried to save each other despite all that happened before.

I loved the whole thing.

This series and Orphan Black make now the best time for SF on TV.

I feel like the Machine is playing a very very long game, and Control is part of it. So I love that the Machine wants her alive (and also, that, in the end, numbers are still someone to watch out for).

IT WAS SO GOOD!!! Probably my favorite season finale this year.

ROOT AND SHAW!!! CONTROL! JOSS!:(

I, too, had a moment when I thought we might lose Finch. Very relived we did not. Though I wouldn't care if we never saw those 3 guys Root brought together again. They can disappear inside their new identities and just stay there.

What exactly is "Moscow Rules"? *embarrassed because this is clearly something she should know*

Root's tech boys were sort of hilarious (I don't really know that I care about them, either. But I was amused by them being there, just because they were furthering Root's plot and character arc).

Moscow Rules - I think I picked it up from Spooks? Anyway, it's the term for "everyone is after us and we're in enemy territory, so watch your back and trust no one but yourself" types of plots/situations. And I love it madly.

I enjoyed them well enough this season but I don't care if they ever return. I feel like they played out their roles and bringing them back wouldn't serve much purpose. Plus, I'd hate to see them get killed since Root went to so much trouble saving them/giving them new identities.

Ah, okay. That is a very good trope.
