to Amy Acker coming back. Hope they keep her around.
Did all of you who said you would try to get caught up over the summer do so? The DVD/BD for season 1 is out.
IMO, the best new network drama last season (slightly edged Revenge) Hope season 2 keeps it up.

This was a case where the show really found it's footing in the 2nd half of the season.
I was quite surprised how many in this forum claimed they never heard of this show in the "Why aren't you watching....thread" I created about a month ago. I mean this was one of the most high profile new dramas last season. Unless those people have really tuned out on CBS.

It's cool to have this back and I liked this episode quite a bit.
I was only catching it every other week or so last season, I think I'll be on it every thursday this year.

Thursday nights are kinda crowded for me. I missed about half the episodes last season as well and hoped to pick up the dvd or blu but thought they were too expensive. Hoping the prices drop soon so I can catch what I missed.

Excellent episode. Pretty cool about the dewey decimal system and the SSNs. A lot of people don't use it anymore so it was a great code.

Not a bad ep, but I found myself hoping they would wrap up the Root storyline quickly. The hostage thing with Finch is a bit ridiculous. I would hope he was smart enough not to play into her "if you don't cooperate I'll kill someone else" routine. Obviously she's a killer and she probably doesn't have a happy ending planed for either him or whatever scheme she needs him for. Besides, I 've never liked evil Amy Acker.

Great to have this back, but I agree: They need to wind up the kidnap story and get Finch/John back to doin' cool stuff together. I don't liek the hacker/murderer either.

Absolutely loved the episode.
I don't know why you guys want this Root arc to end ASAP. I don't mind it playing out a little longer. I assume it will most likely end in the next episode. Reese and Finch will eventually go back to helping a new POI in no time. It looks like the plot of the show as a bigger arc, especially with the shady Government characters.
Reese had some really hilarious scenes/dialogue. I loved the scene in the warehouse where he got "captured" and then spoke Dutch to the dog, then the camera panned to the outside and you could hear to punches, slams, bangs and then he threw the Aryan brotherhood guy out the window. Reese is such a badass.
at Reese struggling to fight the giant Aryan guy and then Carter shooting him with the bean bag and tear gas gun.
The flashbacks scenes from 2002 were also great. I liked seeing the machine in it's early stages and how it helped Finch cheat on cards.

I started watching this when it first aired but due to a bad cable box and viewing conflicts I never saw the last several episodes. Last time I checked the box set was like $50 and with CBS not streaming anywhere I gave up on season 1.
So after all that and switching to Dish with pimetime anytime, I will be able to watch again. Will I be completely lost if I just started watching again with missing several of the last episodes? Really seems like I would be screwed picking it up now. Thanks!

Nice to have this show back. I really like the Root storyline; it'll be interesting to see where it goes.
Great scene. The way it ended reminded me of Tuco's introduction in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

Re: Person of Interest -- Season Premiere -- "The Contingency" -- 9/27/12
Here's a question - why the hell doesn't Finch just beat the living shit out of Root the first time they are alone and no innocent bystanders are around to be hurt? I haven't seen her packing since the murder last season so she apparently doesn't have a piece instantly accessible. I mean, she is a female and he is a male, even if he does have a limp - jump her, administer beating, call Carter and case closed. Of course this is Tv land where every 110lb. hotty villianess is the fighting reincarnation of Bruce Lee and easily able to best any 3 250lb. linebackers at the same time. So I guess my plan doesn't make sense after all. Never mind.
