POI27 – S5E0405 – The Return Of Shaw-lias

Author: Golden Spiral Media May 20, 2016 Duration: 2:07:29

Two episodes again this week, and each let us know what’s been happening to a character we haven’t seen in a while.

In “6,741”, we find out what’s been happening to Shaw while she was captured by the minions of Samaritan. In an attempt to discover the location of the secret Machine lair, she’s fooled into thinking she’s escaped. But her loyalty to her comrades keeps her from revealing this key piece of information.

In “ShotSeeker”, Samaritan gets a new set of ears to go with it’s many eyes. But we hear once again that, while homicides are down, suicides and missing persons cases are up. Is this an attempt by Samaritan to keep these events off the Machine’s radar, since it only looks for murders? And it appears our heros get involved in one of these missing person cases. Will it lead to an understanding of Samaritan’s endgame? And then, at the very end, an old friend shows up. Nice twist.

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.
