2023-05-02 14:52:02 +0000 UTCThe Contingency- Yay!!! I really love this episode! It's definitely one of my favorites within season two. And you've now met Bear!! He's so cute!!! I love him! :) First, in answer to your questions regarding why you recognize this episode's two main guest stars... Leon Tao, Reese's number he must fight to protect throughout this episode, is played by actor, Ken Leung. Who is best known for playing a big role in the TV series... Lost, which I know you've watched and love too. And Byron, the blond hair leader of the Aryan Brotherhood group Reese is fighting all throughout this episode to protect Leon from, is played by actor, Terry Serpico. He has guest starred in a ton of shows I've watched over the years, and in at least one show that I know for certain you've watched... Cobra Kai. I've never watched Cobra Kai, and I don't have much interest in it. But Terry Serpico guest stars in three episodes. So, I'm guessing this is where you would recognize him from. And now... I absolutely love Reese all throughout this episode, and I love that he finally admits to Lionel that he sees him as a friend. Even though while Reese never acted like he cared for or respected Fusco before, I know it's nothing more than just a tough act. Reese doesn't trust or let people in easily, so I understand why he has struggled to trust Lionel up until this point. But I absolutely believe he does now. Just like he completely trusts Carter now too. I also love how hard Reese is fighting to save Finch. You're right... Reese is absolutely afraid. Afraid of not only losing his one friend, but he's also afraid of what he himself will become without Finch around to keep him in line. And I love that he tells the Machine it has to find Finch, because Finch is his only friend and because Finch saved his life. Thankfully, Reese is eventually able to convince the Machine to help him save Finch in spite of its training and rules that Finch gave to it after refusing to take any steps further towards helping anyone, like Finch would want him to do. Reese having proved to the Machine that he's willing to die to save and protect Finch. Absolutely love this about Reese! It truly says a lot about his character. He's a fierce friend, willing to sacrifice everything, including his own life to protect those he especially cares about, as well as everyone they fight to save. Oh... And I love Reese's fight against the really big gang member, and seeing him get himself badly beaten up by the brute until Carter and Lionel arrive to save him. And thankfully, Carter saves him. I love the humor between Reese and the brute when Reese demands that he try fighting some his own size... or rather someone closer to his own size. I also love the banter between Reese and Fusco too, when Fusco teases Reese about enjoying watching him get beaten to hell for once. As for Root... She's a fabulous character, and she's also all kinds of crazy. She certainly makes for a very dangerous antagonist. I love her because she's so mysterious and she makes you excited to see just what it is she's going to do next. And Amy Acker plays Root brilliantly! And now... Root is also holding Denton Weeks hostage too. Next... I really enjoy the flashbacks with Finch teaching the Machine. It is all very clever. I'm so excited that we're beginning to see that the Machine is more and more a character in its own right. Because it absolutely is. As for the scene when the Machine saves Finch from being hit by the driver drunk and asleep at the wheel... Finch is angry because the Machine only worked to protect him by convincing him not to cross the street in that moment, but it didn't alert him about the man driving in time to try to help him, or any innocent bystanders who might have been around and in harm's way as well. And I really love how this is Finch's reasoning for the Machine initially refusing to help Reese to find him, until now. Both Fusco and Carter are also great in this episode too!! Like always. I love seeing them working on the same side now, with Reese to save Finch. They all make a great team. And now Bear has joined with Reese too! Yay!! I love this dog so much! And I love that Reese speaks Dutch to turn Bear against his former owners. :) And lastly... I absolutely love the overall storyline with Reese being Finch's contingency plan should something happen to him, which is why the Machine sends him to save Leon instead. Leon is hilarious and I love Reese's and Fusco's interactions with him. Thank you again, Jessie! I can't wait for more Person of Interest!!! Sincerely, Heidi
