You know, there are some characters that have never been alive in the "present", like Nathan.
The show finds a way.
Yeah but they aren't afraid to kill people off and that's one thing I like about this show.
They honoured her death well and they will never forget the impact Carter had on everyone. The Outliers episode was perfect and she won't be forgotten along the way.
If you haven't watched the episode following it, you really should. They killed her off but the show doesn't go "aw shucks, what a shame" and then forgets about her after that.

Personally, I'm over the whole "killing off characters" approach, but goddamn, was the aftermath epic.
It gets better.
That's the thing, when you are in as an extreme fight as these characters are, you have to expect them to have some loses. Here, you have a handful of people against a gigantic amount of corrupt cops. That's a tall order. That's why I feel the death was at least "earned" and so was the aftermath.
It's why I'm doubtful many of them survive the ending. The best case ending I'm hoping for, is just for Harold and Grace to end up back together. I figure the Machines will wipe each other out; Shaw, Root and Reese to fall along the way, and Fusco's up in the air.

If Fusco dies, I'm done. With everything.
Yep.

So, when does Person of Interest come back?
Is it scheduled to air after Limitless has ended?

The only thing I didn't love about
Carter's gloriously written departure is the romantic scene with her and Reese. I just saw them as cop buddies the whole time. Some scenes could have been interpreted as romantic, but generally they seemed platonic. And I liked that better, since it's so rare that two opposite gendered action heroes can be heterosexual and still uninterested with each other. I read somewhere that Reese just did it as a spur of the moment and it wasn't in the script. While that kind of innovation can sometimes really work, I don't think it did in this case and felt they should have cut it out.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Absolutely, the last minute romance stuff totally came out of nowhere and felt forced to me.
Yeah I agree. That shit came out of no where and I wasn't a fan.
Yeah, that really only works in retrospect, if that was always the plan, they didn't build that up good.

To be fair, all romance is terrible
In PoI or in general?

Yeah I don't get involved in "shipping" nonsense as a rule, but root and shaw are totally the secret best couple on TV.
that scene it's still the best intro the show had
100% agree.
I hated that aspect about her death. Reese and Carter were great friends and they really didn't need that romantic aspect thrust in there.
There were tiny little things, but mostly in the "reaffirming a platonic relationship" sense. See: "LadyKillers"
Think the kiss scene was nicely bookended with the Season 4 episode with Carter, with Reese coming to terms with those feelings (and regrets).

The actors improvised it. They tried editing a version of the scene without it but it didn't look right.
the crossing
The absolute worst part of that episode was that before it aired it was leaked that Fusco was gonig to die, I think the writers started it not sure, so during that scene I was legit so mad because I believed it was going to happen, plus that fusco wasn't in the show as much as he used to be. Root(Shaw?) saving his kid was like a huge moment of relief. I really thought they were going to go there when watching it. Fucking Fusco.
Interesting!
That happened because the previews concentrated on him and basically pushed in our faces that someone will die. But for the exact reason I didn't believe that he would die

Didn't we win best tv couple on some website or something?
yes I said we
Shaw likes Lionel though I think
I don't think Shaw is really interested in relationships anyway. At least that is how her character has been written. It's why I am not really into the Root/Shaw stuff, Shaw is a free spirit!
Does she though? Root defo has the hots for sensei when it comes to Finch, on some college girl/professor forbidden love type of shit.
I think so. The way she has interacted with him at several points in the show gives me that impression but who knows. She is an enigma.

Well that's what I read from a few articles like this one:
Then again, it could be wrong. I hope I'm wrong!
Shit guys, you'll never believe who's number came up this time.
Knowing how religious he is, I'm not surprised. But crap, that serious face looks as if he was playing Reese right there.
EDIT: Also, what Veelk said:
The kiss was very forced. The one flaw in an otherwise excellent episode. I'm glad that is touched upon on later episodes though.
He's conservative, so I imagine he isn't much of a fan of what the Pope has said these past few months. I could be wrong, knowing how religious he is.

Oh no, I think that's just the face Jim does all the time. That, plus what could be a photo taken at a bad moment. We all have those bad pictures heh.
I really hope he's not that conservative to dislike what Francis said.

Wait, do you mean romantically? Because there is absolutely zero reason to ever think Shaw has any kind of romantic interest in Fusco.
Which delay?
I've always seen Root as a creepy fangirl stalker that won't leave Finch alone.
That's what I said
Joke aside, I think she ascended goof from being a fan to being a sister. The two of them are more than friends, but also not lovers. That's how I see it at least.
