Yeah, I know. It’s been forever since I posted. But I just finished watching the latest episode of Person of Interest – Aletheia. Wow. Talk about a powerful episode. Beginning where the last episode left off – which was also quite extraordinary – the realization that there was more than one project to create an AI, Finch and Shaw captured along with the creator of this other AI, Finch’s friend Arthur. The secretive government agency behind all of the shenanigans now has a name – Control. Throw in Vigilance and Decima Technologies in this episode. Are you missing HR yet? Not hardly! We’re missing Mr. Reese, perhaps, although Shaw filled in quite adequately this episode. I know some have complained that she’s not as likable but I think she’s really coming into her own with the last few episodes. And then there’s Supergirl (Root) although she certainly seems just as wacky as ever. Curious to see where this story is going with Vigilance and Decima Technologies.
One wonders though if Harold isn’t feeling some regrets at creating the Machine. He certainly seemed to express some in this episode. Both he and John mentioned the cost of their quest and neither seemed to think it was worth it.
I’m going to try and keep this blog better over the next year. I’ll try and post a full review of “Aletheia” in the next couple of days.
