This episode should have been called Terminator 2: Person of Interest
That. Was. Just. The. Best.
First, I'm gonna get my complaints out of the way:
- No Fusco.
Okay, done.
- Ok, first off, I am fucking loving Shaw. Flashbacks were excellently handled. Her interactions with the kid, John, and Finch were making me laugh and giving me feels in equal measure. Her continuing on after getting all messed up was awesome. So Terminator-esque. Explosion at the end was awesome.
- The POI was awesome! Precocious smart-alec kid that wasn't annoying and grating! Yay! Ha, 'ward of a reclusive billionaire'. Hope Shaw and co. visit her from time to time.
- John and the nitroglycerin. Oh yeah. That's my John. Fucking hilarious. So Batman it's not even funny. But it's hysterical. Only problem: John should have stomped on Simmons' knee before taking off into the night.
- Carter dealing with that flunkie partner. FUCKING BADASS HARDCORE.
- That final scene between Shaw and Jess. Feels.
- ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT OMG WTF HOLY SHIT GUYS SHE'S IN SHAW'S FABULOUSLY WAREHOUSE LOOKING UNDERDECORATED LOFT
- I am expecting so much raw sexual tension between the two.
My prediction:
Twenty years in the future, Jess takes over for Team Machine in the event the Machine doesn't go rogue and shit.
