I suppose you're right, @drdarke:disqus. Still, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that Finch has some offshore accounts set up "just in case."

Don't forget "inexcusable grammar/spelling mistakes" and "inability to use punctuation to break up *long* run-on sentences."

Put it this way: one of my immediate family members works for Scandal (I haven't watched Suits), and I'd still recommend Person of Interest. Other than maybe The Good Wife, it's the best network drama on TV.

Well, they don't pay Carter or Fusco either (I think). They probably should pay all of them. Finch has the money after all. And I agree on Ken Leung. When I saw his name in the opening credits, I was very happy. He didn't show up until the end, but he made the most of his brief appearance.

Great reference to the best episode of The Simpsons ever (yes, I know that's covering a lot of territory, but that's my pick.).

Yeah, this was a great episode. At first, I was a bit confused by the distinct lack of any of the regular cast for the first several scenes. It almost felt like a backdoor pilot for a future spinoff. But it was great when the first mission was over and the guy mentioned the numbers. Suddenly, there were lots of…

I liked this episode quite a bit. As with "The Leviathan," I liked that the episode did not revolve primarily around an opening murder. It's always fun when rich people hire Sherlock to figure things out for them, and I loved that Sherlock finally accepted a rare bee as payment (it was hilarious when he suddenly…

Agreed. Out of curiosity, I plugged the first three sentences into the Flesch-Kincaid readability calculator. It scored a 2 (which is terrible) and a grade level of 27. He needs to mix in some periods next time.

Awesome episode. I can't remember the last time I handed out two As in a show's first four episodes. Game of Thrones, maybe? It's always nice when shows elevate the stakes, and in this case, the stakes really couldn't have been higher. Any false step (put perfectly by Nina when she said, "Both sides have their fingers…

Yeah, I realized that he didn't explicitly say that his story was false, but I interpreted the scene that way. I still do, though you're right that there is an alternative explanation for his statement, and I should have acknowledged it. I guess we'll have to see if the show addresses it in the future.

I'm surprised that the reviewer was so hostile. I may be in the minority, but I thought this was a nice encore to last week's season-best episode. It seems like the main theme of "Dodger" was trust, as that came up in just about every plot. There was a nice contrast between Oliver and Thea, two naive rich kids who…

I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to. In their last scene, it was definitely Alicia who said that. Even if it was a callback to an earlier scene (one that I couldn't find in this episode, though I guess it's possible he said that in an earlier episode, and I'm forgetting about it), that does absolutely…

This was a good episode, but it was also an uncomfortable one. On the one hand, I thought what Alicia did at the end was kind of despicable. She was the one who suggested that all the fourth-year associates band together, after all. On the other hand, I'm not sure how many people in her position wouldn't take the…

@avclub-7445cdf838e562501729c6e31b06aa7b:disqus Well, that's your opinion. From everything I've seen, I think Cary is clearly the better lawyer (my opinion too, but even if we say they're roughly equal, I'd rather have the one who is 15-20 years younger). Alicia has the better political connections. I'm not saying…

Agreed. Next up in the rotation (hopefully): Larry Gilliard Jr.

This was yet another strong episode for a multitude of reasons. First of all, I'm glad the writers finally decided to do *something* with Det. Bell. He's been a perfectly fine character, but he really hasn't done anything other than deliver generic detective lines. While the other three main characters have had quite…

This was probably the best episode to date. Dealing with the present day first, I was a little surprised that Oliver got shot, but I thought it was a smart way to get Felicity involved. The errands Oliver had her running (as well as his explanations for them) were getting more and more preposterous, so the next…

Seeing this episode made me simultaneously very happy and very disappointed at the same time. I was happy because it was such a good episode, but I was disappointed because this confirmed that the writers still had at least one more really good, largely self-contained episode in the can that they could have used in…

Well, it was below average by Person of Interest standards (Logan Pierce has to be the least interesting potentially recurring character in the history of the show), but it was above average by network television standards. At the very least, the flashbacks to Nathan and Finch salvaged an otherwise pretty forgettable…

Honestly, the SCOTUS thing was monumentally stupid. There's a zero percent chance that someone like Patty would be nominated, much less confirmed. Don't believe me? Check out the list of recent Supreme Court justices. Literally, every single one of the last 17 justices (including the current ones) all had judicial…
