Person of Interest 5x13.
Next time I get too obsessed with a TV show, please remind me "what happened with WC and POI".
Damn I had forgotten how hard it was to say goodbye....
[SPOILERS! And feels! and tears! and very disordered ramble...]
*Sigh* I'm sad. I'm so freaking sad.
This finale episode was everything I was hoping for. It was intense, and yet mostly full of human moments. And we had this big Finch/Reese farewell. And it turned out not to be too much of the bloodbath they had been teasing about.
Samaritan is gone, the Machine survived. So did everyone.
Except John. *cries*
Strangely enough I think it would have been a little less painful if it hadn't been only John.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad for each individual who survived and it did feel right for each of them. The Machine lives on, watching over us. and Shaw is now in charge of saving the numbers (with the DC team, and whoever the Machine recruited). Fusco made it out, because Fusco makes it out of *every* situation. And if I could have had only one left, it would have been Fusco. And Finch got to see Grace again. He sure has a lot of explaining to do, but she'll probably understand him. And that was cute. And Root isn't really dead since she lives on in/as the Machine.
And this is exactly how John would have wanted it, too.
John did die a hero too. Which, if really he had to die, is exactly what I was expected of him. Saving the world, one person at a time. A heroic and meaningful death.
I knew it was coming. I knew I shouldn't have gotten to attached to John. Because it hurts.
And I like the open and hopeful ending. But it's not going to be the same without John. I mean, when I see a surveillance camera, I smile, because I know the Machine is watching me. And the Machine will continue to watch me. And I was so pleased to get my very own US social security number, because I knew that if I got into troubles, John will come to the rescue...
Sorry, enough with the tears. Because I did love this finale. For all the series finales I've seen (that's not that many actually), this one I think is the best one. It was perfectly in line with the whole show, and very emotional, and not without humor. I loved all the little bits between the characters. Fusco and Reese, Finch not able to say goodbye in the subway. Shaw crying! God her *face*. And of course the whole rooftop sequence. Finch and the Machine, Finch and Reese. Finch trying to save Reese, Reese actually saving Finch.
And really everyone ended exactly when they wanted/hoped for. Even John.
Not sure where Bear had disappeared when it all went to hell in the subway, but glad he got out safe. :)
All in all, it was a great conclusion to a great, engaging, though-provocating show. And it was satisfying. I don't feel the urge to go and write any "fix it" because everything seemed so fitting (yes, even John's death.)
Ah John Tal- .... by the way. ;)
Damn I'll miss this show. *snif*
