Person of Interest S02E17: Proteus (Full Reaction)

Proteus- Another excellent reaction! Thank you so much, Reds! I really enjoy this episode! I love the look and feel of this episode, as well as the whodunnit vibe. And I love how it's set up in a crazy storm on an island where Reese and Finch are on the hunt for a serial killer and chameleon. Proteus is eerie, dark, scary, and entertaining. I really love the moment in the end when Finch is saved from the serial killer by Carter when she shoots him in his chest, only for Finch to remember at the last second that the killer had been wearing a vest, then seeing Cal Beecher suddenly shoot the killer from behind in the back of his head to save both Carter and Finch. Brilliant moment! As for Cal Beecher... I really like his character a lot! And while he's shady and appears to be a dirty cop, I keep feeling like he's really a good guy. I have all along ever since his character has been introduced. I like his character, and I really like the idea of him and Carter together too. The question is... Can he be trusted, or not? And then... I love the scenes between Reese and the smuggler who is suspected of being the killer. I like how the drug smuggler manages to overpower Reese and knock him unconscious when Reese becomes momentarily distracted upon finding the real dead FBI agent in the trunk of the killer's car, only for Reese to awaken a short time later as he's being dragged towards the end of the dock to be thrown into the ocean. And I love seeing Reese take this drug smuggler out by knocking him unconscious again with the oar from one of the boats nearby. It's really interesting to watch Reese and Finch work to figure out all the mysteries going on, on this island within the middle of a storm. And I love Reese's interactions with Finch like always! As for the serial killer and chameleon himself... I like his character a lot. He is so creepy, especially when he is attempting to become Finch. I like his voice and just the overall eerie vibe of his character. I love how Beecher kills him to protect Carter. But I also think that it would have been interesting to see him survive and escape so he could have been a recurring character and threat for Reese and Finch throughout this series. :) Overall... I love this episode. I love the eeriness and feel of it. I missed seeing Fusco, but it's okay that he isn't in this episode. Carter is really great throughout. So, thank you very much again for another fun reaction for Person of Interest, Reds! Until next time, my dear friend... Sincerely, Heidi
