Well, we know which side the new lady's on.

Some interesting new snippets, kind of showing that wherever they headed off to at the end of S3,
it wasn't very far from NYC. Could John actually be a cop :lol

Do you guys know any great trailers or articles to sell people on the show without giving away any spoilers?
I've recommended it to some people, but I didn't have much luck. The show takes a bit to long to become truly great.

Also helpful would be a guide detailing which episodes can be easily skipped without missing any of the important stuff.

I don't remember the article, but I remember an article NotTheGuyYouKill posted that compared PoI with 24.

24 is about revenge and hard feelings towards the enemy.

Person of Interest is about the mistakes the characters did, not about the enemy, which makes it an excellent show. It also captures the post 9/11 atmosphere of the USA. What Harold says "after the attacks, the government gave itself the right to read every email, listen to every phonecall" is not fiction, it's actually true.

On September 12 of 2001 (I think it was that day), the President told the NSA director to have whatever he needed to prevent another attack of this magnitude. This documentary is actually pretty good watch on this: http://video.pbs.org/video/2365245528/

Don't know what else I can recommend for you.

EDIT: Also, I wouldn't skip any episode. Every episode (even the first ten of season 1) has some background on the characters, or advances the plot someway. What might seem like a procedural episode might end up being one of the important episodes of the season. Happened several times through S2 and S3.

Sheeeeeit...is Reese
working as a 'legit' cop or is he pulling the Detective Stills gag again?

Whatever, Root and Shaw could be working at Walmart and I would watch that ALL DAY.

Given that they can't just do anything, I think he must be working legit.

I would say 24 is stuck in the era post 9/11 where everything was fearmongering about terrorist attacks and "At any cost" mentality, while POI is more up to date with it's reflection of the world.

Both shows are very fun, but as much as I love 24 it is a bit of dinosaur in it's approach to things.

But if you like 24 chances are you will enjoy this show.

John as Fusco's partner? Although that might come across as a bit contrived. Although it is the machine we're talking about here.

That would be nice and connect Fusco closer to the team. He really should become offical part of it, instead of on and off support.

A thought on Elias

Maybe they need him so they can still operate while staying off the radar. Harold did say they lacked resources.

Right!
This is actual a cool thought. I was a little bummed out last season, that Elias is such a small fish compared to the other stuff, but maybe that is what makes him important again next season. He is powerful and can do a lot on his turf, but he is no immanent threat for national security and probably not very important for Samaritan.

I hope Sober comes back in time for the premier. Either way, I want Chariot to work on those OT images. :D

Those are all good, and I'm also partial to my shortened version of the Hope statement: "All You Need is Hope"


Secretly, it's an underground war to see who wins the battle of "Most used Season Titles", and I'm hoping to get my 2nd victory, to go with my Season 2's "Not For The Weak-Kneed" title :p

I really like Deus Ex HR.

Where is "It's not the end of the world... but you can see it from here." from?

There's a song I love that goes "The end is near, on a clear day you can see the end from here".

I would gladly do. Changing the title into something else is easy as pie, but if some gives me usable pictures, I can insert someone else.

Not cut out very well, but I'm not good at cutting things out of pictures. Here's also the blank, if somebody wants to play around for himself.

Will the Irrelevant Seven even be a thing in the fourth season, or is Root's hacker team just assumed gone into hiding and never to be heard from again? In the promo trailer, Root says to Finch that their resources amount to five people, six if they count Bear (so Reese, Finch, Shaw, Root, and Fusco?).

Either way, pretty hype trailer. Can't wait to watch this season unfold.

So in the trailer there's a shot of a young black guy entering I think a pawn shop... new cast member? They didn't see to show any other random people, but I don't remember seeing any casting information for the character.

I wonder about this as well. I was hoping they'd come back because I thought they were pretty cool, but that trailer doesn't give me much hope based on that line.

It's Jamie Hector, "Marlo" from The Wire, and he'll be a recurring character. Sounds like
a villain. I'm glad they're giving Wire alums love, but do they have to make em all villains?
