Anybody catch the premiere of Person of Interest last week?
I really liked it. Ben Linus and The Prisoner vs. Predeterminism.
I'm willing to go on another journey with JJ Abrams. Are you?

First they came for Han and slowed down his draw And I did not raise the cry for I knew Han was badass
Then they came for Anakin and made him and made him a whiny turd And I did not raise the cry for I knew his son was also a whiny turd
Then they came for Yoda and cut his strings And I did not raise the cry for I saw how strong in the force he was
Then they came for me and there was no one left To raise the cry of Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Yep, I've watched it as well since it has a great premise and Ben Linus...come on! Everything with him is watch-worthy. The show has to prove itself how it'll fare on the longer run though.Originally Posted by wolfbyte

I frakkin missed it. BTW, I passed Michael Emerson on the street on Monday. I totally choked, though. He was keeping his eyes front and I was trembling with excitement. I was on the phone with my wife. "I just passed Benjamin Linus." My wife asked, "Did you make eye contact?" My reply, "No. I'm scared of Ben. Uh-huh. Ben scares me."
This has become one of my fave new shows. Loving it.
Me too. I think it is missing something though. It has very little emotion in it. All of the investment in the characters is bound up in the mystery surrounding them. I want to see some mythology built in too. Like if someone discovers what they're up to and turns off the nightly feed or plants their own social security numbers in there or something. Also, I wonder if their actions are messing with the machines learning algorithms. I.e. is it getting worse at predicting violence because of a lack of positive reinforcement? Will there ever be an actual terrorist attack that they have to thwart? That is what the machine is for.
It's early days yet

I am really enjoying this show as well. I was meh on it until I saw the pilot a few weeks ago. The pilot was great. Right up Sean's alley I would think.
But, I looked for this thread under "Non-Science Fiction". If this is SF, then the standards for my beloved genre have eroded far too much! It was different when I was a kid! We had deep snow, miles to walk to school, sack lunches, and spacemen.
I'm watching a Season 1 marathon (episodes 1-22) on WarnerTV now!
I love the banter between Reese & Finch, while nowhere near the level of Gilmore Girls, is still fun & entertaining.
Like the odd comments here and there Reese makes about his boss' eccentricities to the POI of the week.
There's one line Finch makes in episode 118 which is gold(!), "I'd be first in line [to buy a novel], but meandering exposition is kind of my thing" This is definitely a 5th-wall wink to the audience in relation to "Lost"

Just so we're on the same page
Nice find...there were some other LOST references like an advertisement for Oceanic Airlines if I remember correctly.

I just caught up to this show recently and had the fortune to watch my first live episode last night S02E11 2piR. This is definitely a great find and a worthy replacement for me for Fringe. I'm loving the cohesion of all the characters and how they have been intertwined unknowingly in the past. I'm loving the AI (aka "The Machine") showing that it is sentient too this season. I expect to see the machine learning about it's boundaries more and more as the show goes on.
Is anyone else still watching this amazing show? Each episode is riveting and the overall story arc is amazing.

Seen it since day one.
It is part of my Thursday ritual.
