Person of Interest S02E22: God Mode (Full Reaction)

God Mode- Phenomenal! Thank you so much for a fantastic reaction for season two's finale, Reds! This episode is easily one of my favorite episodes within season two! I love that both Reese and Root are given all access to the Machine, as they both use it for their own reasons. For Root... She hopes to find the actual body of the Machine so she can set it free from what she sees to be Finch's cruelty, and for Reese... He uses the Machine to fight to save Finch from Root, as well as to fight off any threats coming after them. I absolutely love the scene where the Machine gives Reese a time after time to reveal to him where each threat coming after them is coming from, as Reese shoots threat after threat. It's a brilliant and clever scene to help show just how powerful this Machine really is. It takes a while before Reese and Shaw finally save Finch and stop Root, while at the same time they discover that Finch was able to help the Machine so that it would be able to free itself should this threat against it arise. I love this idea. It's brilliant. And then... In the end, the man behind project Northern Lights known only as Special Council receives a call from his own boss upon failing to get his hands on the Machine as well, then turns the phone over to Hersh, who then is ordered to kill Special Council, who does nothing to try to stop Hersh from killing him. He knows very well how it all works, and that if he were to fail, death would be his ending. And it was. Crazy! And lastly... I really love the overall backstory that finally reveals how Nathan Ingram is killed for planning to go public about the Machine, and that reveals how Finch is wounded and how everyone including Grace comes to believe him to be dead, supposedly being killed in the same ferry bombing that kills Nathan. So very sad. The moment when Grace comes to search for Finch among the wounded upon learning that Finch had been there is tragic. Especially upon seeing how much Finch longed to go to her, only to realize he couldn't for his and her own safety. So heartbreaking. I feel so badly for her. Finch too, of course. I also love that all of this reveals why Finch comes to want to try to save as many of those on the irrelevant list as he can and why he hired Reese in the first place, after he learns that Nathan was one of the numbers that had been erased at midnight the night before his death. Fantastic! Thank you for your amazing reaction for this fantastic episode and season finale, Reds! I can't wait for you to begin watching season three!! The show continues to be exciting, and you're going to love all that's to come!!! :) Until your next reactions... Sincerely, Heidi
