Scenes like this is why Person of Interest was one of CBS's best shows. The show started off as somewhat typical procedural and eventually became so much more than that.
Jinzo 2400 CBS shortened the series because they wouldn't order more than 13 episodes for s5. The writers did the right thing by recognising they should take that opportunity to conclude the story.
@@mymadcatdiary2957 That was because ratings were sharply declining,most fans point out the fact that the show killed off way too many important characters that viewers had a vested interest in.....the show ended way before its time.
Jinzo 2400 no, CBS weren't making enough money because the show was owned by WB. It's only because WB negotiated with CBS for a short final season that POI had a chance to wrap up the story. It had nothing to do with any fan reaction positive or negative to any character(s) (though I'm sure that people only ever mean Carter) dying. Ratings declines year to year were 32 & 2% for s3&4, slightly average to slightly above average. They were not "falling sharply".
@@mymadcatdiary2957 Thank you, exactly! PoI was a critical success and ratings wise was very decent. The production was owned by another studio, so CBS was not making a lot of money from it, compared to productions that were in house. Carter is the only major character I remember being killed that was a loss and sort of sudden (at least prior to the end of S05). The others (government guy in the nuclear reactor, Mark Snow, Kara) felt earned and like they played their part well and to the end. And regarding Joss Carter, Taraji P. Henson wanted to leave PoI so she could do other things (Empire for example). All I have heard about it was that they parted on good terms and it was a mutual decision. So you can't really fault the writers for that one alone.
The Root Shaw thing felt like bad fanfiction to appease the fanboys on the show. Shaw was a bland and unlikeable character the entire time. Why she was a main character and not Elias is beyond me. And Root was mentally unstable and abusive - while they managed to make her a complex character, she shouldn't have ever been in a relationship with anyone. The first 3 seasons had great writing but from 4 onwards it went downhill.
@@ofsevim JJ Abrams isn't exactly the benchmark of great creativity. He's decent, but gets too bogged down in making things look cool and PC to appease the executives that ultimately his work suffers from it. My guess is that the only reason S1- mostly 3 were good was because Jonathan Nolan and the others like Amanda Segel are good writers.
This show had more heart and more humanity than anything else around. I have completed 8 complete binge watchings of it from beginning to end. I will continue to enjoy it.
I'm watching every reaction video I can find so I can enjoy others feeling what I felt. Before this covid shit, I finished the series with my mom(her first time). Great Show!
Unfortunately, I have to say no. Jim Caviezel is a devout Christian and will not do sex scenes. Watch him in this series and in "The Count of Monte Cristo," every time his character is supposed to have sex they do a cutaway and if he is shown in bed with a woman there is always something, sheets usually, placed between them. That would not work for Bond. I've heard they are working on a sequel to "The Passion of the Christ" and he will again be portraying Jesus.
@@keithdean9149 So he won't do cheap sex scenes. What does that matter? It in no way lessens the brilliance of his work in this series. The finest ensemble cast I've ever seen in a TV series.
@@whooziss There was another reply that looks like it was removed suggesting he play James Bond. Wow I am sure his acting would be terrific the fact that he Will not do “cheap sex scenes” Means Hollywood will not accept him as James Bond because Bond sleeps with almost every woman in one of his movies.
@@keithdean9149 He will not only not do sex scenes, but as i have read he will not do anything wich does not conform with his faith, even simple kissing secenes are really hard for him apparently. I can imagine with these "limitations" there are extremely few big budget roles out there where he can make himself known. I think he was really good in this role, but I have a feeling he wouldn´t be as good in other roles, because I don´t think i have ever seen him as anthing other than stoic calm. The standout in this PoI was Michael Emmerson.
Her hands are shaking as she tries to pick up the coffee cup She thinks he is going to kill her but instead he persuades her to give the guy up This early in a series run you can see what you need for a hit show A great script a quality performances and depth Great stuff
Sadly Jim loves his wifes too much to even do sex scenes. Thats why there are not sex scenes with him in POI, and why he is not a really known actor. He said that himself.
This was a heartbreaking scene. She feels like she's losing the thing she wanted most, but in the end Reese is right. She wouldn't have been able to live with it and keep being the truly good person she is. Maybe she wouldn't have ultimately even been able to go through with it, and then what? I'm in the middle of a rewatch now because of these clips.
By far one of the best episodes of the series for me. Caviezal at his best. With the doctor he's remarkably soft; still aloof but with visual warmth and humanity. Later, with the guy in the van, he's the opposite. Cold and terrifying.
I think it's because he plays the cold and understated man of sincerity and good will perfectly. He fits our dream of what and who he should be like an old glove.
@@KITLEVEY This is probably the best show ever. I really wished I could be like reese and go and save and help people. I think in real life, there needs to be a real john reese out there to help people.
It is truly a profound and deeply underated episode of deep grief, regret ,redemption and power of forgiveness ( not so much for the baddie though). A second chance for the good doctor and even for the bad dude.
This scene 'hooked' me on the show. The next scene with John and Benton, 'reeled' me in. I was with this show to the very end. After 5 binge viewings of all seasons, I am still a big fan. Probably my most favorite TV show of all time.
@@kalyana9705 The guy who killed the women and Reese are sitting across a kitchen table from one another and Reese is deciding what to do with him. An amazingly powerful scene.
@@kalyana9705 idk but I'm assuming he killed him instead of letting the Doc kill him to protect her from the haunting and and such of taking a life. Idk, just guessing
@@jimreimers4213 the episode ends without a clear conclusion. But it looks like he's going in for the kill. However, some time later, it is shown that he also sends some people to hellhole prisons in mexico on trafficking charges, so he may have let him live in prison
She looks so hurt... And part of acting is drawing on your own life experiences to bring that feeling out again.. I wonder what she was thinking about? I just wanna hug her everytime I see this! 😢
I wish had a Reese in my life to take my burden away from me too. How lucky is Megan. Someone to save her at the last minute. I have been waiting 18 years and no one has come yet.
The strong-willed learn to save their self. We do not have to have burdens but the weak tend to hold on to them as they need the "poor is me" attitude to function.
I ranted and roared. Cursed and swore. Screamed and cried. Someone very dear to me said;"PRAY,David. PRAY " ! That really set me off. At last..........I PRAYED. Life will never be perfect..........it is now manageable . G_D Bless YOU.
@Karen Gonzales.....Awesome, THX a lot! Truly one of the best scenes, no doubt about it. Jim Caviezel is able to "speak" only with his facial expression and with his keen look. His eyes are like stars, I've never seen more beautiful eyes with such an intensity. I'm getting goosebumbs watching such scenes. It was not the only one, but one of the most impressive. Gorgeous!
I think this is one of my favorite episodes because you have no idea how it ends. We don't know if John killed the rapist or not. If he cut him loose or killed him and disposed of the body. All we can do is wonder and hope he made the right call, whatever it was.
Maybe the best single episode of all....... Linda Cardellini, who played Megan in this episode has been renewed for a second season of her show Dead To Me on Netflix.
Even though Finch said what are you going to do? Just like when he built the machine and handing over to who ever. You really don't know what they will do, with all that information. Harold knew that soon or later Reese would have to kill too pervent someone else to get hurt or die. That is why John ask," why do you do it" the numbers if you didn't what this to happen don't start something you can't finish. John though he was thou killing too. You really don't know if he killed him or not, but ever thing was right there and he knew what to do. Johns eyes where so cold. Chirp
You lose the part of you that makes you who you are. It may take 40 years to come back, even though it wasn't you fault. It still will haunt you. Sometimes I wish I could trade places.
This episode have 2 coincidences: Linda Cardellini plays a doctor on #POI, and she played a doctor for many years on #ER tv series. Here in Brazil is called Plantão Médico. After that, she made a original Netflix family drama #Bloodline (very good by the way), where the character she plays is called Megan.
When you take a life, you lose that part of your life that matters the most. The “ life takers” are the ones who know this. And they are the only ones who know this.
Amazing how he was able to teleport to that diner after escaping the cartel guys when she had a 2 hour head start. There's quite a lot of that in this series.
The next time we find a show that we really really like perhaps it would be appropriate to crowdfund it and buy the show so they can't stop it when they decide to stop it we stop it when we decide to stop paying for it.

She gets to keep her memory of you. What a damn fine writing this show had. Simple but elegant.
That line!
My favorite episode. Not a single shot fired, before Elias, before HR and before Root/Shaw. Just good writing and acting.
Ditto. And the last scene was one of the very best ever period.
The Root Shaw thing felt like bad fanfiction to appease the fanboys on the show. Shaw was a bland and unlikeable character the entire time. Why she was a main character and not Elias is beyond me.

@@MIDNightPT4 It is now 10 complete watchings. I have given it a rest for now as I'm revisiting Twin Peaks but I'll be back.

He would make a great 007 Bond.
I agree I would Love to see him play James Bond.
Way too real and empathetic. Remember Timothy Dalton, another great actor not quite right.
A Bond who wouldn't do sex scenes? That might strike people as odd.
Sadly Jim loves his wifes too much to even do sex scenes. Thats why there are not sex scenes with him in POI, and why he is not a really known actor.
He said that himself.
@@MrR3set That makes him an honorable man.
I miss this show so much.
It will always be one of my all time favorites.
I rewatch it everyday ❤️❤️
If i remember correctly, this is the only episode where we didnt see reese fight or shoot anybody. Yet, it was one of the most interesting episodes
Think he did small fight a creepy guy (well, when I say fight, its more like a quick beat down) when Reese think that guy have a gun in his holster...
He beat some cartel guys, if that Matter.
This is Oscar-standard script-writing, possibly better, and certainly world-class acting, by both of them. A truly marvellous TV show.....
I know I'm not the only one who love this tv series and can't wait to see it again 🤔🤔
This was a heartbreaking scene. She feels like she's losing the thing she wanted most, but in the end Reese is right. She wouldn't have been able to live with it and keep being the truly good person she is. Maybe she wouldn't have ultimately even been able to go through with it, and then what?

Linda Cardellini is so underrated...and so damn good.
Yes, totally believable. Sometimes we don’t think about the supporting actors/actresses. Thank you.
This was such an underrated program.
Wish this show never ended..best show ever made..
Still rewatching it every e❤️❤️
This episode was the point at which I knew this show was destined for greatness. SO GOOOOOD!
Dang. Reese was a masterclass in acting. SO good.
By far one of the best episodes of the series for me. Caviezal at his best. With the doctor he's remarkably soft; still aloof but with visual warmth and humanity. Later, with the guy in the van, he's the opposite. Cold and terrifying.
I thought that too
He was one of my favorite actors for a decade. I respected him so much. Then, he went off the deep end, & I couldn't anymore.
What happened to the guy? Killed?
A guardian Angel to Tillman, then an Avenging Angel against Andrew.
James Caviezel is phenomenal.
Jim*
Or Jesus works too :)
In this rare instance , they're both the same.
James Caviezel uses his emotion and reactions in a very understated manner. He is the genuine article from pathos to redemption.
Fell in love with Reese all over again! Why is he so awesome?
I think it's because he plays the cold and understated man of sincerity and good will perfectly. He fits our dream of what and who he should be like an old glove.
