During his initial introduction I was half-expecting the handsome stranger to try and kill Joan as soon as he turned her back. Watson had just pissed off a drug kingpin, after all, and he did use the old "help me find my friend's escaped bearded dragon" line…

It was good to get his appearance out of the way early on, the kind of fanservice that acts as a welcoming handshake to returning fans.

First thing I thought of, too.

- The Jedi Academy could use an interstellar space port…

Man, Linda's life kinda hit the skids after being laid off from Veridian Dynamics.

"It's time we had a talk, you and I."

Person of Interest was pretty damn good last night.

Definitely bunkworthy.

From in front of her own dorm, too.

I just replayed that game last week, and it holds up amazingly well.

I saw the first villain reveal coming as soon as the agent mentioned that she thought that Dominic had an inside man in the DEA. Everything I've learned about the laws of narrative convenience screamed out that she was secretly a baddy.

He smashes the bone in the mortar and pestle, tastes the dust and is pleased.
Clearly there's (yet) another mysterious evil plot added to the mix by Henry.

My favorite is still Mr. Kingfisher, from last season.

They've done Downton Abbey, Homeland and True Blood, so I wouldn't rule it out.

It's only now occurred to me that PoI is now a three Sam world:
Sameen Shaw, Samantha Groves (Root) and Samaritan.

Another funny echo was that Reese transferred from Narcotics to the Homicide task force so that he could work with Fusco. Which is exactly what happened to Fusco in the first season, in more or less the same way (earning a commendation while helping an irrelevant number).

The writers hedged their bets by saying he was also known as Conquest.

Both hats are rumored to have been cast in a reboot of Steven J. Cannell's 1992 series The Hat Squad. The network is allegedly also in talks with James Spader's hat from The Blacklist.
