the thing with feathers

My head is a bit scattered today (see below) but I must at least register the WOW at the Person of Interest finale. Talk about game-changers! I'll need to watch it again (next Tuesday will be the first opportunity, I think) but really: this is the show that hangs "procedural" out in the wind and lets the birds shit on it. When it's good it's very

PoI was SO GOOD that I can't even process it -- my brain is just one continuous high-pitched wail. The show has totally becomes its own dystopian AU and I am so there for all the fic that results. And all the Finch/Reese and Root/Shaw was so glorious and practically text. And they smashed up the library! T(he one big game-changer they did pull back from was Harold's revelation to the world, but there's no way the storyline would have worked if that had been real. Oh, Harold. His distressed little face of "no these bedfellows are too strange for me"!)

True, but he said it anyway, thinking the world was listening, even if everyone who heard him either already knew or is dead now, so that's pretty game-changing on its own. (Not that we didn't know Harold was the bravest of the brave.) And I liked the way it set up the betrayal of Collier by Greer. Not to mention that Control owes Harold one (or several).

Ha, I've been thinking about "All I Know Is Flight" too, because it's the closest I got to what happened a year later, not that it's very close, and in my story THEY ARE TOGETHER. Ow.

Oh yes! It reminded of astolat's story where he comes out to save the earth from being hit by an asteroid? Which is such a fanficcy turn-over-the-table setup, and yet the show was giving me all the same satisfactions in this episode. <3

Control was so great -- she's still wrong and occasionally evil, but I love how this show doesn't stop at cookie-cutter villains. See also: Hersh.

The final parting was heartbreaking it and all, but I don't remotely believe in it lasting once their covers are more secure. I mean, for logistical reasons next season will have to get the gang back together, but meanwhile, I want all the fix-its and surviving on the run.
