Person of Interest: Season 4
Hey Guys,
here we come to the fourth season of Person of Interest. The finale of season 3 (POI S03) left has with a lot of questions and parting ways. Our four heros are now on different ways and have new covers. It left me in fear of what happens to Fusco and how all of this will go. The machine seemed to send a number to kill but Harold decided not to what made it easy for Samaritan get the power. This season is a war between the machine and Samaritan. It is about survivle.
A Purpose
Last season we saw John question the whole we need to save the people. He doesn’t saw a sense in fighting if you can’t win. John wanted to go away and all that behind him. But Lionel was the one in the right. Just because you can’t win you don’t stop fighting. The lifes they saved they mattered. Linonel made such a great developement in the whole serie and i love to see this. This season it is not John questioning their mission. He and Shaw find it really hard to stand down and don’t save the numbers.
The on questioning everything is Finch. He is disapointed in the machine. He built her to save people not to kill. He lost is believe that every life counts that this is as important or even more than ever.
We see Finch struggle this season between his believes, his fear of Samaritan, about what it means to be at war, sacrifices and guilt. But not just Finch is struggling this season. Because we see for the first time Root struggling. Root always believed in the machine. The machine was always the most important think in her life and she was ready to do everything to protect it. But this season all that is wavering. I love to see these two people that had clear believes struggling with them and find a way to life with themself and what they are ready to do.
Root
Root came a long way way from season one (POI S01). She was a hacker that was always interested in herself. She lost all her believes in the human race. Computer was so much more to her than human ever could. When she discovered that there is this machine. The machine became the most important think in her life. She made a machine that always try to save people the focus of her life. She never gave a shit for people (after the accident). But this machine saw all of the cruel world. She saw every murder, every war but she don’t waver. The machine believes in people, she wants to protect them. The machine thinks that life is something important. She believes that she can help but that the world belongs to the people in it, not to her.
This makes Root and the relationship to this machine so amazing and interesting. Yeah Root came a long way but her character gets even better this season. I love every bit about it.
More respect for Lionel
One of the best things these season is that everyone have alot more respect for Lionel and his work. In the last three season they always demanded that he has time for them. They never thought about him and his real work. But now that they have there life on their own they seems to understand how hard it is and what Lionel put on the line for them. Because he has a job, a job he can easily lose because of them. So i love to see all of them taking more consideration of is situation. Also i really love to see Lionel and John work closer with each other. Even when i like Fusco pairing up with Shaw is the best. I love the platonic friendship that developes between them.
Watching or not
I am sure everyone already know this answer. Go and watch this season too. It is amazing, we see our characters struggle and i am sure you will lose tears. I cried so much this season. It was so emotional and amazing, so sad and so funny. Being a hero and have a normal job is not so easy and i really like how they show a little of it. That John has problems at work or had to sit out for a number or even have to visit a shrink. Sadly Bear as much to little screen time because we all knew he is the real hero here.
