POI26 – S5E0203 – Truth be SNAFUed

Author: Golden Spiral Media May 13, 2016 Duration: 1:54:47

There were 2 POI episodes this week, and we cover them both.

In "SNAFU", we get a little facial recognition problem, as the Machine tries to figure out who's who on the team. Hilarity ensures, but only until our favorite computer thinks the good guys are the bad guys because of all the harm they've caused. Finch realizes that the Machine is seeing all their actions all at once, unaware of the time component, how they've changed, and the context in which they were done. This brings up some questions to us about good, evil and forgiveness. Is doing bad things in the service of a good outcome always acceptable? Do the ends always justify the means, and how has Team Machine changed it's methods over time? The Machine takes matters into it's own ... I/O ports by keeping Harold from rebooting it. Not so hilarious anymore, eh?

In "Truth Be Told", Resse's CIA past comes back to haunt him, as he comes face to face with the latest number; a man who's brother Reese killed. Will this blow his cover? And can he truly lead a normal life while the numbers keep on coming? Meanwhile, Root, who once again has a Machine-supplied cover identity, discovers how Samaritan is getting malware into all that hardware. And we see again another difference between how Finch wants to approach defeating Samaritan, and how Root wants to do it. "No risk, no reward, Harry."

Doug Payton and Darrell Darnell have been following the intricate world of Person of Interest since its very first season, and that long-term passion fuels every episode of their Person of Interest Podcast. Produced by Golden Spiral Media, this show picks up with a deep dive into the series starting from its fourth season, where the stakes escalate with every kneecapping, every twist in the artificial intelligence narrative, and each layer of government conspiracy peeled back. Their analysis is rooted in years of fandom and a previous podcasting stint on the TV Talk network, which they’ve now evolved into this more detailed and engaging format. Each discussion feels like sitting down with two friends who not only remember every crucial detail but also understand how the show’s themes of surveillance, morality, and technology resonate within our own culture. You’ll hear their genuine reactions, thoughtful breakdowns of character motivations and plot mechanics, and an appreciation for how the series blends elements of crime drama with science fiction. It’s a podcast for anyone who wants to revisit the complexity of this landmark television show with guides who are as invested in its world as its most dedicated viewers.
