Alexa is reviewing POI tonight? Nice - I can wait until the weekend to watch it and not miss the review.

These 45 minutes flew past. In its final moments, Person of Interest is returning to the overarching questions that have pervaded the show since its inception (although much more so in the last 3 seasons). Roll the dice or serve a purpose you have no choice over? Freedom or security? Few narratives can make such a…

Posting it here as well:

Got my roommate into the show and we've watched the first 2 seasons over the past 3-ish months or so, so Joey is a bit fresher in my mind than it might be for others.

Can't wait anymore! Will re-post this when the actual review goes live:

Adding another disgruntled voice to the lateness of the reviews. I usually watch the episodes the day after, write the stray observations during the show, and then spend 5-10 minutes crafting 500 words on the themes/interesting bits. If there was another season on the horizon I'd send AVC samples to write the POI…

When I heard they were making a sequel, I thought the title would be the best part of the movie. But then they tacked on a '2' instead of finishing the phrase. It's like not resolving a chord progression. My brain. It's hurting.

Overall, Fox says that people “are plebeians that are brainwashed by the type of media they expose themselves to.” Huh, kinda works for both prominent Foxes. Foxi. I like Foxi.

This is a perfect example where a historically white character could absolutely be played by, say Idris Elba. It's not his white Britishness that informs the Bond, it's just his Britishness!

Certainly not discounting her experience and it's obvious that there is a flippant attitude toward racism and racist caricature in Hollywood (see: any one-dimensional gang member in any cop flick). However, could some of the 'white-washing' of traditionally non-white characters be a matter of demographics? Movie…

Emotionally arresting, action-packed, and suspenseful as all hell. First a moment of silence. Amy Acker filled our collective hearts as the reformed killer-for-hire Root and tonight, we were treated to one of her finest moments: driving a car with her foot, backwards, while firing a sniper rifle at a SUV toting a…

Exactly what I thought as well. It's beyond Samaritan's ability to understand the wild, illogical, sacrificial, beautiful love between professed soulmates. I thought that was a wonderful narrative touch.

Still kind of a case of the week, but a very strong one at that. The Voice made an immediate impact the first time we saw him and I'll admit to being well-fooled at Easton being the killer. Finch's line about the "real genius" being the faked phone call is very true and doesn't feel cheap considering what we've…

I play Limited exclusively. It's cheaper, demands a broader command of strategy, and a 3-round 8 man tournament never lasts longer than 3 hours. I'm not 100%, but I think Eternal Masters is supposed to draftable, right?

Oooohhh, good catch. I was so focused on the endearing awkwardness that I missed the pun!

What separates this 'in the dark' arc from those in say, The Flash, is the pervasiveness of the danger. While having your girlfriend know you're a superhero slightly increases the odds she'll let it slip somehow or become held hostage by a kook to get to you, the danger of Samaritan mobilizing spooks once it knows you…

Beat me on points 2 and 3 by like 35 seconds.

I read the "let them enjoy one more night" thing to be more about not wanting to reveal that one of the daughters/sisters was a murderous horse poisoner, rather than some imminent financial demise.

'Reassortment'

Was reading the review and thought, "where's Pete Hornberger?!"
