Yeah! That immediately clinched it for me that they were gonna get a private comm system by the end of the episode. Great touch.

Awesome season premiere. I like the theme music of the show. MARLOW! Da wire!
Awesome premiere. I hope that they work more often together with Elias with him and Scarface as their extended team.
And yes, I really hope for a batcave. Last scene was missing some scared bats when Harold stumbled.
edit: I made a few screenshots. I tried to find every shot of Samaritans view.

I love how they have marked Crimea and the East Ukrainian conflict.

So many great moments and lines
"It wasn't my weapon"
"Appears to be some kind of traffic accident"
The Bat cave
Also..that Shaw's look of utter happiness when they got the numbers, like a kid waking up on Christmas day to see presents stuck under the tree
Great premiere and it will be very interesting to see them forced to work in more covert way.

I think my favorite line from the episode is when the son is talking to his dad on the phone and his dad is like "We are the store." Doesn't really translate to text well but just the way he said it cracked me up.
Fusco is more of a Robin. Shaw as StephBatgirl and Root as CassandraBatgirl, hrrr~
Finch can get some Riddler attire.
Also:
Still, that line served a great purpose. Basically, that whole conversation could also be geared towards Harold (who is sitting there).
We have to realize,that Harold's also "down/depressed" because he lost his own store (The Library), but hearing that little bit, that the physical store doesn't really matter, the people that run it do.
Losing the Library doesn't matter, Team Machine does. Anyplace can be home.
Though, having an AI make up an entire thesis paper, add in code disguised as little typo's, have it given to an anal-retentive school administrator that actually would go to the trouble and proofread the whole thing, leading to the discovery of the ReeseCave, well....that's pretty special.
I do hope it's actually more than just "a new base." My first reaction was The Machine's servers. But, thinking on it, if Team Machine had access to the full data, ala Samaritan, the procedural pieces kind of go away a bit (From knowing who is a victim and who isn't).
We're gonna need to come up with various names for the new Base, though.

I actually enjoyed NCIS NO more than the LA branch. It was a pretty down to earth case but set in motion some pretty big plotlines. They definitely put a bunch of New Orleans references in, but it worked just fine, IMO.
Also, they replaced the lab tech from the pilot crossover with some nerdy white guy.

I thought it was a defunct subway station?
I think it's their own Batcave.

That is exactly how I felt when I watched the episode.
Spoilers:
I suspect what Finch found was the computer.
amazing premiere, as expected. Show is ridiculously good. Could have used a bit more Root, but im a Root fanboy so...
also, at the end, that had to be

The Machine correct? It did relocate itself back in season...2? 3?

It's kind of sad that he is playing essentially the same character with the same motivation even the same downfall as his character on The Wire. That is one typecasted dude.

Just realise we never actually met 'Dominic'. Could it be Elias starting back up?
Also on a rewatch I noticed when John and Fusco are on the roof with the body, you can see one of the routers in the background. Nice bit of foreshadowing.

It's great, but how many times can u shoot someone in the knee.
Will she? I thought the Machine send her on a date with "Romeo". Samaritan fights terrorists, not common thieves. Greese agents won't hunt down some team of burglars. I mean, she isn't targeting alias or any of the organized crime in NY. She won't care for some thieves.
It's important for her cover to maintain it, surface with criminals will ring some bells on Samaritan.
But ok the machine set the date maybe the machine has some plans
I always thought Samaritan only judged on base of threat to national security, opposed to the machine who also looked into threat to single members of the public. Maybe Root and the Machine wrote a certain tendency to criminal behaviour in Shaw's persona. So Samaritan sees: "yup, person is a latent criminal, percentage of her falling into crime was very high, but she is no big threat to the system or the country. Disregard."
It's just that John tend to do overkill. While some burglars, even bankrobbers won't draw much attention, some single guy taking out an entire gang certainly will, especially with the legend of the man in the suit. Nobody talks about the hammer lady.
Yeah, I liked that they didn't feel the need to show a flashback, or have a piece of dialogue to remind the audience whose desk it was. Just another subtle fact showing why the show is one of the best.
About the body on the roof with the wirecutters: Was that ever really solved? I mean, John sort of used the fact that the store had a similar version, to imply the stores involvement with the body, but, that seemed like that was it.
Was the guy up there cutting something? Was he installing the router? Trying to destroy the router? The POI doesn't seem like the guy that would already be killing folks messing with it, and The Brotherhood wanted the network, so they wouldn't have a guy up there cutting. They'd kill someone messing with it.
So, if the dead guy was killed to stop him from stopping the network, who would send a guy up there to do so?
Why do I feel like it's a seed for a plotline in the future.
Also, Scarface grabbing what looked like one of the Network Phones. Wonder if that was part of John's payment to Elias, or was it something Elias (thru Scarface) planned on grabbing. I'd feel like an underground Mob Boss would like to have access to an untraceable phone network (since he definitely knows to keep phones out of earshot)

My guess was that it was one of Samaritans agents. I don't know who else would have the knowledge, the assets and the will to kill someone who is in a small window of time without a hidden connection. Then again, I Samaritan would have a easy time tracking the store down from the gang, seeing how they just walk into it.
In any case its something to watch out, yes.

This season gets off to a very good start, best premiere for the show. Elias joining the team was the peak of this episode.
Martine looks threatening, can't wait to see her fighting against Shaw.
I first thought she was Sarah Rafferty from Suits, they can be twins.
Person of Interest is back!

The machine has its reasons for everything. It's likely that gang is going to get something important that the machine needs.

I'm just going to say that I'm incredibly happy this show is back. What a terrific start for a new season.
Oh man, when did that happen? :lol

That all felt like a soft-reboot. Reese and Fusco partnering up together "officially"? Why not. lol

The fact that they didn't show the entire place makes me think you are right.

Oh shit, unlucky dood. I'm still confused as to why whoever gave all of us tags didn't give you one. Though I do still find it somewhat amusing. Sorry >_>
The machine knew this was coming so relocated/acquired computers simular to finiches past setup and hes just walked into a room which is like his old library and is god snapped.
Alternitively a dead drop laptop for him to communicate with the machine.
