sarrenNow that my Hannibal obsession has waned (to manageable levels) I have been catching up on other shows.
Person of Interest was once my primary fandom, when it was all about Harold and John and Bear and Carter and Fusco. Harold/John was my OTP but Carter was my fave character, so when they pointlessly killed her off and made it all about John's manpain, and where did this '
you saved me' come from when the whole point of the show had been Harold saving him it took away my two fave things about the show.
I still liked it a lot - I love Fusco and Shaw and very much appreciated the Root/Shaw flirting but it fell off my priority list but I've finally got around to watching the last season, and it was suitably epic.
If it hadn't come at a time when shows are killing off such a high proportion of their lesbian characters, Root's blaze of glory would have been perfect, with her own perception of them as shapes, and the Machine taking on her voice. As for JOHN, the Machine and him colluding to save Harold at all costs was just damn perfect and tragic.
I was super happy to see these three show up again :)
I am happy the Machine is free now - am curious how many teams she has working for her - it seems unlikely the Washington team is the only one. Would love to see a spin off episode or two, I'd definitely read fic.
