After hearing about Jim Caviezel being an asshole on set, I had a brief thought about an alternate universe where the show killed Reece off instead of Carter and now I’m obsessed with this AU
John dies and in grief Carter tracks Finch down (also grieving and at a loss now he can’t help the numbers) to the library and demands an explanation. Finch explains and asks for help saving at least one number while he tries to figure out what to do.
The plot plays out in a similar way - Root still kidnaps Finch, Shaw joins the team, they adopt Bear (via Shaw rather than Reece), and Fusco is still here.
But instead of Reece, it’s Carter hanging out with Finch at the library and having to juggle her job as a cop with herding Team Machine like a bunch of cats while trying to save numbers.
I just like the idea of Finch and Carter bonding as besties

i was kinda hoping for mistynat to be a thing in yellowjackets because they reminded me a little of root & shaw from person of interest, but then the end of season 2 happened and they unfortunately are a bit too much like root & shaw from person of interest lmao
#ie they’re both doomed#anyone else watched both of these and know what i mean?#however yj also has canon wlw who still might survive the narrative. i like taissa and i just hope she lives regardless of who she ends up#person of interest#yellowjackets#mistynat#root x shaw#poi spoilers#yj spoilers#person of interest spoilers#yellowjackets spoilers#(<- i mean they’ve been out for a while now but jic)

Listen I told my self that I wasn't going to get invested enough in Person of Interest to talk about here but here I am anyway. It was chugging along being a good background show with Some really fun, if a little trope-y, cop characters and watching Harold Finch and John Reese act kinda gay and stop crime. I'm a big Amy Acker fan ( that's actually why I even started the show) so I wasn't upset about the shift in focus towards Root and Shaw a little bit as I entered season 3.
The problem I have actually run into is fucking season 3 episode 9: The Crossing. It just made me angry at a show's choices in a way I haven't felt in a while - please note I haven't watched past that episode as of writing this but I will eventually do so.
An the assumption that she really is dead( that looked pretty fucking fatal) I will miss Joss Carter a lot but that's not necessarily what made me angry. It seemed to me that the writers knew that the actor wanted out of the show from the start of the season as the whole season 3 arc was a seemingly slow moving suicide. It wasn't poorly written but it was obvious that this was a different type of Joss Carter than season 1 & 2.
No my problem wasn't necessarily her death. It's the "romantic" declarations of the episode. Now before you look back at the start of this and post and think I'm just mad because it wasn't my very unlikely to ever be a cannon ship that got confirmed, well you're only partially right.
Yes I'm a Rinch shipper( if follow my blog at all you've probably put together that I often root if the queer ships) but I genuinely would have been fine resigning myself to fanfiction while they get hopelessly paired up with some unsuspecting women. I understand that's how crime drama TV operates. And you know I actually like John and Zoe as a ship, if they were developed a bit more I think they could've been a lot of fun.
My problem is not that the whole you "saved me from commiting suicide" speech John gives Carter is equally, if not more, applicable to his relationship with Finch. Well, okay my problem is not only that. My problem is where was any of the romantic build up between Carter and John, like literally anything? They work great as narrative foils when Carter was still on the "the law is the only law" train. And they work great as friends as Carter steps more into the "some minor crime for the greater good is okay" camp. But not once did I think " oh these two are about to fall in love". Not even when Shaw asked about it earlier in season 3 did I think the show was going to actually pair them up like this. Now I hear you when you say that there are examples of characters with less chemistry have become couples. It's just, I'm not sure what the narrative gain is here. They had to know they were killing off Carter that same episode and this "revelation" doesn't add anything to the character. If anything it doesn't make sense with the revenge for Cal Becher (Beacher? Beecher?- You know who I'm talking about) angle that the writers have been using all season. And if it's about furthering John's character that's just dumb. I wouldn't consider it fridgeing as I'm pretty sure this is an actor who wants an out of contract situation(feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), but that doesn't excuse it as a narrative choice. John unequivocally cares about Carter and would be upset about her death regardless or romantic inclinations, as would Lionel and Finch. They already have an in on the revenge story line (which is where I assume they are going with this). Why bother with the romance especially when John already has the lost love story in his background. Like what Jessica isn't enough of a dead romance they needed to shoe in Joss as well.
Anyway I also wish this was like a mid season finale not episode like 9. Like bro why are you putting away one of your biggest villains so far and this is only a third of the way in the season.
And I wish that Lionel wasn't just suddenly back in the plot, like I know you have a bigger cast now and I m glad he's here but build the guy up a little bit better please.
I also think the Root in a cage thing is a little weird like I know all of these people are chugging the " the ends justify the means" juice but it still seems like there are other options Finch would choose. ( that being said Root and Finch's conversation about the machine somehow come off like " I had sex with your daughter, and I don't care if you know” which was hilarious to me)
Anyway sorry for the rant thanks for listening and I do hope the show gets back into a groove.

Person of Interest spoilers: throwback to when I watched ‘Bury the Lede’ for the first time lmao
*Alonzo Quinn shows up being all sweet and kind*
Me: haha I bet he’s the villain that’d be funny
Him: *isn’t the perpetrator*
Me: oh well
Him: *is actually the head of HR and one of the main villains of the series*
Me: 🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨
#my intuition goes crazyyyyy#I’ll have a thought and go ‘nah that’s silly’ but then it’ll happen and I just sit there feeling dumb af but also the smartest person alive#if that makes sense#lmao#I’ve even had weird premonition thoughts irl#like one time my dad was driving us home late at night#and I had a weird thought that he’d miss our turn and instead of making a u-turn he’d just go into reverse down the street then turn right#but I was like ‘pffft he wouldn’t do that that’s reckless’#and then LO AND FUCKING BEHOLD#THE EXACT THING HAPPENS#I sat there in shock for a good thirty seconds before I blurted out that my brain provided an image of this exact scenario happening#and he just laughed and said ‘doesn’t count if you don’t call it’#and a) fuck you? but b) if I said it out loud it probably wouldn’t have come true buddy ever think about that?#anyways uh yeah I remember seeing a tarot card reader and she was like ‘you have experiences with claircognizance dont you’#and I was like ‘IS THAT WHAT THAT IS????’ and honestly idk but either way uh my intuition is pretty damn good I guess lmao#person of interest#poi#person of interest spoilers#poi spoilers#🎶song sings🎶

Desperate to know what the Bear custody arrangement is between Reese and Finch in season four. How long were the negotiations? Did it get emotionally heated?

i only watched poi last year and even going in knowing spoilers, hated the ending. i knew they’d have losses but reese was enough to me. plus shaw finally escaping and her and root finally starting something only for root to die—shaw told her to leave too! ugh talk about extra pain—like that? CRUEL! i think if Shaw hadn’t been taken and they’d gotten a season or more together i might have angrily accepted root’s death how it happened really pissed me. it just felt like extra trauma for no reason. or i guess i should say their “reason” (i read the showrunner said root was meant to die form the beginning 🙄) didn’t move me.
Right, and if you watched live, these few moments they got before again something else awful happened were stretched out over so long, people waited through whole seasons of disappearances and hiatuses, just for that ending? I feel like it's not a bad thing to realize that sometimes a character or story has evolved and maybe it's okay to go with something other than the original plan. They would have gone down in history if they'd picked an ending more true to where they'd arrived at that point, they would have literally been that slow burn well written f/f story people could recommend that we're still having trouble with!
Can I ask, if you watched last year and you knew the spoilers, how much did you know? That major characters would die? That Root would die? That she'd die but not the context?

do you guys ever think about how Wyll is introduced as an archetypal fantasy hero, but then it turns out he’s a warlock, who made a pact with a devil. Do you ever think about how Ansur is described as this fantastical dragon of myth, but then when you find him, he’s turned into an undead monstrosity. Do you think about how when Wyll does the right thing, he is punished to become more monstrous. Do you think about how as Wyll’s warlock powers grow, his spells get more horrific. Do you think about how Ansur was killed by his closest friend. Do think about how Wyll was cast out by the most important person in his life. do you guys ever think about Ansur and Wyll.

Going through Person of Interest fan clubs and comment sections and seeing the old posts of everyone thirsting over Jim Caviezel is so strange to see now, considering all the reports about him being a Very Weird Man.
Meanwhile Michael Emerson, Amy Acker, Kevin Chapman, and Sarah Shah (and the dogs) were off elsewhere on set being goddamn delights.
Additional: Thinking about those comic con interviews with Jim and Michael, where Michael is the one answering the questions and Jim mentions he’s ’never seen him talk so much’. But Michael is known for being a sweetheart and always happy to chat (maybe a natural introvert at most), so it’s like… no Jim, he was just avoiding talking to you on set and doesn’t want you rattling off Cavortex conspiracy theories to these poor tv journalists.
#Thought about Michael and Kevin reuniting on Evil#and Michael Emerson mentioning in an interview that he hasn’t seen or spoken to Caviezel since the show ended#it makes me not sad John Reese died at the end of POI#Person of interest spoilers#Person of interest
