I would have been hustling out of there and calling the bomb squad, HAZMAT and SWAT.
SO. MUCH. THIS.
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
We never really came to a firm consensus about Person of Interest, did we?

IMO, I think it is kind of the show's fault. About 80-90% of the show is (has been?) squarely procedural. But then there is the 1-2 eps a year that focus on the computer. We don't even know (really) what the computer *is*, its capabilities, and how that will drive the story.

Yes, I am completely willing to blame the show.

If it ain't broke, don't fix. Let's just leave it, and if someone posts in Boxed Set, direct them here.

I agree with this, and at the same time, I don't see a problem with talking about the sci-fi elements of the show here, if people want to discuss them. I thought the Root parts of this week's episode were particularly interesting, and also kick ass.

Ok. I am extremely intrigued by what The Machine is doing with Root. I also wonder if The Machine read a lot of Asimov, and has willingly absorbed the Three Laws of Robotics (or if some analogous subroutine is an inherent part of how Harold designed the program).

All is well that ends in pizza.
The machine created a false identity that was male. So who knows if there is a particular gender to which the machine would like to be referred?
I was wondering if the writers had read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
What a fantastic episode of Elementary that was! Great character stuff, fun case, sparkling dialog -- one of the best the show has done. And that letter at the end, oh my.
