Dont forget that Samaritan has also moved itself to live on like every networked device in the world. It might have been able to briefcase itself, but that might contain the data. Thats why it was using the airgapped backup in the federal reserve. V-Men posted:It's not as if it resided on a single computer that could be scheduled to be shut down and booted up after two weeks. It exists on server farms that are permanently connected. Even if all those shut down, the physical connections couldn't be cut and there's no promising that Ice-9 couldn't still infect a computer upon booting. Its airgapped, not light gapped. I kinda ignored it at the time because i was into the episode. But i could buy it had some kind of disconnected network connection the samaritan back up could activate. So when it determined it was being infected it flicked a switch and the cables got plugged in and then it could flee its secret bunker using its secret escape tunnel. Or maybe they were all purpose fiber optic connections and Samaritan had some way of tapping into them.

Nolan and Plageman did a big 3 page post mortem interview about the show as a whole with IGN. It's a pretty good read. http://ca.ign.com/articles/2016/06/25/person-of-interest-executive-producers-reflect-on-the-shows-five-seasons?page=1

So according to that interview, the last song -- before Ramin Djawdi rightfully beat it out -- would have been Bowie's "Heroes." I believe that they made the right choice, but I'd kill to see the version where the final montage is cut to that song. That would've been chilling and cool. EDIT: Peter Gabriel's cover might have been even better. I can see Grace laying eyes on Finch just as the orchestra goes apeshit and Gabriel belts out "I, I CAN REMEMBER..."

Speaking of music, what was the song playing at the end of 1x09 where John was ambushed by the CIA agents and Carter in that parking garage?

They defininately edited the finale scene to "Heroes". It lines up spooky well when you play it right from when the satellite shot begins. The "I, I can REMEMBER!" part happens right as all the boxes appear on the crowd shot. It's the Machine remembering its purpose.

Caught up with everything. Was really hoping for a "Everyone dies alone...but everyone is relevant to someone" callback, but the finale was pretty drat great as is.

Just did this using the satellite appearance after Shaw and Fusco's chat in the diner. It works really well. The 'I remember' on the crowd of boxes feels so right.

So, just binged the fifth season, hadn't noticed it had begun. I think it ended up being my favorite one by a huge margin, but it feels that this might be because it's the one season that really always stayed focused on what I liked about the show and always tried to develop the characters as well as simply show how they have grown. Even Reese wasn't the usual annnoying mess he usually is. Oh, and it also somehow managed to have much, much, much better dialogs than the show used to have, so I am wondering if they had completely different writers or something.

Same writers as far as I know. My guess is that the better dialogue is a side effect of the short season as they compressed all that cleverness into a smaller space so wasted none of it. Brevity is the soul of wit and all that.

The preorder prices for Season 5 on Bluray are being wacky on Amazon. It started out saying $45 a few weeks ago, then I saw it at $33 last night and today it's saying $27. Makes me wonder what it's actually going to be in a few weeks when it is released.

Amazon locks you into the lowest price after you pre-order, which means if you pre-order at $27, and then it goes down to $20, but goes back up to $45 before release, you still only pay $20.

So anybody figure out how Fusco got out of his troubles at the end of the finale? One month, paper work and Bear almost seems like an intentional joke on the writers part considering how much work they put into everyone else's ending. Maybe he had a really good Union Lawyer and he threw John Reilly under the bus.

I'm gonna assume that the Machine outed all the Samaritan-controlled cops as being dirty or forged a bunch of poo poo to get them all fired and/or jailed in order to save Fusco. But yeah, just one line like "I guess I should thank the Magic Box for clearing my name" would have gone a long way. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Jul 2, 2016 |

Just powered through this whole show in like 3 weeks. What a ride! Think I liked season 2 the most followed closely by season 5. Completely bummed about root that death felt a little cheap, and I think there could of been better ways to get her to be the machine than that. Also why didn't Gueer just shoot Finch rather than that dumb I'm gonna suffocate us both plan? Like he just dismissed two goons with guns? Other than those nitpicks I loved the show and will dream about a spin off.

The last season was great and they did good work with the number of episodes they had, but it's really obvious that they needed more time to properly tie things up. Seems to be happening to a lot of shows lately (see Banshee's last season). Still, this was truly a great show. Although I wouldn't mind a spin-off where Fusco, Shaw and Bear field numbers while awkwardly sharing an apartment, and Finch periodically contacts them through a speaker Charlie's Angels-style.

I'm almost through my own rewatch and just watched The Day The World Went Away again. Definitely the best episode of the season. Since they've said in interviews that this would have been the end of the Samaritan storyline regardless, I really want to know what they'd have done next.

These guys did a way better job at the last season than banshee did. I felt they tied everything up nicely. With room for more if we ever get lucky. God I hope we get lucky.

It's one thing for Samaritan to send its private goons after someone and conceal all evidence of its targeted killings using select operatives and tampering with computer records. It's another thing for Greer to literally discharge a gun in a government facility and then to have to dispose of the body.

Greer is working at Samaritan's behest as well. It feels very Samaritan to me for it to decide Greer is no longer important and telling him to sacrifice himself to kill Finch.
