If You're Gonna Do Something Wrong, Do It Right.
I'm four episodes into the second season of Person of Interest and still having a wonderful time!
I've been headcanoning that Finch was in love with Ingram so hard I keep forgetting it hasn't actually been explicitly stated. I wouldn't say I'm shipping it, exactly; I have no interest in seeking out Finch/Ingram fanworks. I just take it as a given that Finch was in love with him.
Reese both talks to the absent Finch and talks to himself as Finch when Finch is missing, and I find this deeply endearing.
He's so determined to find him again! Because they're friends, and he doesn't have many friends!
Okay, the flashbacks in 'The Contingency' definitely have me shipping Finch with the Machine.
Reese just clocking a guy off his motorcycle with a fire extinguisher is magical and hilarious and I cannot explain why.
Finch trying to pretend he's not playing with the dog!
Reese can cook; I wasn't expecting that! I also really like that, while posing as Sofia's bodyguard, he cooked his charge a meal to comfort her when she was shaken. I love the extra dimensions that details like this add to his usual 'unstoppable murder robot' demeanour.
I love Reese. He's so lonely and tortured and dangerous and secretly caring and prone to making bad decisions when he's got too many feelings and no good outlet for them. Do I want to kiss him? I certainly can't rule it out.
I'm fascinated by Finch's trauma. I felt he often didn't get much to do in the first season, so I'm glad the first few episodes of the second are digging into his character a bit. I love the subtle ways the show makes it clear that Reese recognises Finch is struggling and wants to help him, too.
At first, I wasn't sure about the concept of 'Masquerade'; if Reese is posing as the person of interest's bodyguard, you don't get that fun moment of bewilderment when they realise he's guarding them. But it was actually a lot of fun to see Reese and Sofia slowly bonding after their initial mutual dislike. Also, Reese grabbing a guy by his throat and shoving him over a balcony: disconcertingly hot?
'Put a dog in the base so Finch can occasionally be stroking or playing with it when the camera cuts to him' is an incredible addition to this show. (And of course Reese loves dogs. 'Reese can cook' was a pleasant surprise; 'Reese loves dogs' was a pleasant inevitability.)
'Triggerman': Reese taking it personally when there are two people in danger and Finch suggests prioritising the protection of the one who isn't a killer! Reese often doesn't have much sympathy when they're asked to protect murderers, but he's identifying hard now that they're protecting a murderer who's trying to do something good.
Finch calling Riley 'bad code', after everything with Root, is fascinating.
What a great concept for a show! It's incredible how much 'the murder hasn't happened yet, but the protagonists know either the victim or the perpetrator in advance' does for the case-of-the-week format; it gives each case its own main character and lets the protagonists get to know them, which you can't really do with all the potential suspects in a standard detective series.
