#person of interest #sameen shaw

[bookwormandsci-fifanatic]

this is their exact relationship dynamic

The Machine: Interesting fact. Root: Oh? The Machine: The name 'Sameen' means 'precious'. Root: *delighted gasp* A few hours later Root: Your name is Sameen because you're precious! Shaw: Your name is Root because you're the root of all my problems.

Shaw stole the grenade launcher so Carter could start a gang war between HR and the Russian Mafia

Reese didn't kill Peter Arndt, he sent him to a Mexican prison . that's what Reese does with people he doesn't like. he knocks them unconscious, smuggles them across the border into Mexico, and plants large amounts of drugs on them.

here are my favorite real things that happen on person of interest

the ai is lesbian coded

the main guy reese is widely known as "the kneecap guy" because he shoots people's kneecaps out

the other main guy finch lives in a library. reese at one point gives him a dog. the dog eats books. reese is aware of this when he gifts the dog

they kidnap a baby and then have to raise it for an episode

reese gets two cops who are partners to do things for him but refuses to tell each one about the other person, so joss (played by taraji p henson) and fusco (this is actually his name) spend an entire season going "john I think they're onto me. I think they suspect i'm working for you." and he just goes "don't worry about it". he does this entirely to fuck with them

the show's evil hot lesbian villain root threatens to torture the show's bisexual sociopath shaw with an iron. it is their meetcute

at one point the dog in question is being used to threaten reese’s life. so they adopt it. fusco has a ball gag on during this scene

the dog eats a first edition isaac asimov

the cia and the fbi have a turf war

the cia and fbi both completely fail to capture this one dude, whose name and face they know, for two years

some fucking guy spends an entire season trying to take down the mafia while fucking with the duo and then when he goes to jail one of them just straight up plays chess with him weekly

the aforementioned evil hot lesbian root tries to kidnap and almost kills finch in the first episode they meet. she becomes a main character

shaw and root steal reese's grenade launcher

reese's backstory is that he straight up killed a man for domestically abusing his ex

one of them gets drugged on ecstacy and dances to a microwave about to explode

they live in a subway basement for a year

the creator of the lesbian coded ai has entirely bird aliases

Early Person of Interest moral universe:

GOOD:

Doctors

The Troops

Taking care of/sacrificing for a kid

BAD:

Wall Street

Like the show uses 'investment banker/wall street' as a signpost for 'evil' so much

The CIA/NSA/etc

Around half the NYPD

So for example

A veteran whose robbing banks to put money in his dead squadmate's kid's college fund = basically a decent guy, let him ride off into the sunset

Doctor who has meticulously planned out the murder and body disposal of her sister's rapist (wall street banker) = too good, moral imperative to handle the murder for her and keep her hands clean.
