Comments on: Person of Interest focuses on the human with an awesome premiere https://cliqueclack.com/p/person-of-interest-premiere/ Big voices. Little censors.

I think Reese chose Carter over Fusco, because she would be a better road trip companion…and she complains way less, and she is good at her job. And lets just be honest, Fusco is hilarious, but he is also lazy. Plus, Reese never sends Carter into the field to work…I honestly thinks he keeps her busy to keep her out of harms way and another way to look at the road trip, he will be out of town, so he will not be there to watch over her–so he will bring her along for support and to keep her close, he cant lose her too. Think about if Carter would have been captured by the Aryan dudes if he would have sent her to get Leon, Reese would have felt guilty and went straight crazy!

I assumed the dog came and went with dutch-speaking Reese and stays in his swanky new apartment. After all, I doubt Carter would take the dog and I suspect the dog will go on the road trip with them. It looked like Reese had been in her apartment for awhile as she dressed, which got me thinking. Yes, I know Reese is a trained spy. Yes, I know the dog is trained. Yes, it’s possible Carter wouldn’t hear anything in the shower. But, she didn’t hear anyone moving around her living room while dressing and get suspicious? Really? Then again, she might just assume it’s her son.

Regarding the Reese/Carter road trip, when HASN’T Reese impersonated a cop/etc. to another official (let alone civilians), I doubt that would stop him :) Also, keep in mind Carter will be in Texas unofficially, so she can only do so much legwork. It’d be easier for her to call from NY to Texas than pop up in a district/state out of her jurisdiction totally unrelated to an ongoing NY case without providing an advanced heads up. I’m surprised the head of detectives or whoever hasn’t commented to Carter/Fusco about their unexplained disappearances.

I’m also looking forward to this Thursday, especially regarding the room arrangement!

I have to admit that normally Reese treating Fusco and Carter like assets annoys me. But, this time around I didn’t feel it. Maybe it’s because he actually thanked Carter and called Fusco his friend his friend. However, what still annoyed me is that he’s basically giving assignments to NYPD officers. Um, doesn’t Carter have xx unsolved cases? Also, isn’t Carter the most ethical cop and Fusco one of the most connected? Isn’t that taking resources away from actual active crimes/ongoing cases? I’d be ticked if one of more respected officers on my case, suddenly disappeared on and off during the investigation.

I won’t read too much into Reese or Carter either (but I’ll enjoy it along the way ;) While the writers have clearly talked about it (because the fans have talked about it ;), I doubt anything will happen this year. All the same, I’m glad they’re showing more intimacy between the two (be it on a friend level or otherwise ;)

I agree, why was Bear in front of Carter’s room almost like a guard dog. I guess now it makes sense to leave Bear at Carter’s since both are going to Texas. Maybe Taylor will babysit the dog until Reese returns. Interesting to note that Reese must have been talking with Taylor for him to know that he was off studying with a friend. (Wouldn’t be a good idea for Carter to get a boyfriend now that Reese can come and go as he pleases–would definitely put a damper on things.) If you think about it, Reese really has some nerve to just break into Carter’s apartment not once but twice.

Hey An, Reese does need Carter in Texas. As a cop she can speak freely with the other detectives in Texas and gain information where Reese would not have that luxury because everyone and his mother is hunting for him. She can also get access to police records on Amy in Texas, valuable information to give to Reese. (I think)

Watched a very interesting interview where Reese stated that he (Reese) would be attracted to Carter because she is a beautiful woman. Then he said he wasn’t sure where the writers would take the relationship. Hey Nolan hint! hint!

Can’t wait for Thursday. Very interesting choice of weapon Reese was holding while sitting on the bed in Texas.

I think she should have establish some boundaries and unfortunately she missed the opportunity and I think he will come and go as he pleases from now on. Dont get me wrong, the more these two are face to face, the happier I will be…but the circumstances must be right. I will rather he break in because he cant help himself vs just because he can. I cant wait for Thursday.

Welcome Back! I was thinking that the dog slept at the apartment because it was too comfortable just sitting there, because it didnt come in with Reese. Did the dog look like it was guarding the door to Carter’s room, like it was suppose to guard the money? If the dog was suppose to guard Carter’s door from whom!? I am so excited you seen how Reese did not take his eyes off Carter until she handed him the bag and leaned in to say “thank you” too. Plus, Reese is having dialogue with Taylor, Carter’s son–interesting?

Then what is Carter? I guess Reese hasn’t figured that out yet. But based on the writers looks like Reese’s feelings for Carter are progressing and he loves having her around,

Love Finch’s integrity in the Casino with the Machine. He could have walked out with all that money, but he chose not to. Great lesson.

Amy is a natural for this role–beautiful and evil!

So glad I found you guys!!! I LOVED LOVED LOVED The Contingency. And I love it when I’m wrong. Never thought that Reese would seek out Carter to assist him in finding Finch. I find it interesting the way Carter submits to Reese. He invades her space twice and Reese wastes no time in cutting to the chase. Best line in the Contingency “Pack your bags Cater, we’re going to Texas.” The chemistry between these two is incredible. Loved that it was a short black woman who shot the big white Arian dude. And the way Reese never took his eyes of Carter until she handed him the bag.

By the way, did the dog sleep at Carter’s apartment and did Reese come in the front door or was he in her guest room. And where was Taylor?

Love the new spin on the Machine. Loved it when Fusco said to Carter that “Reese was a pain in his existence”–great linel

Love Amy–Finch is awesome. Glad your back An, it’s like coming home.

The best scenes for involved Root, Finch, and the machine, which stuns me because my favorite characters on POI are Reese, Finch, and Carter. The first apartment scene with Reese and Carter made sense because of the circumstances. But the second time Reese entered the apartment unannounced to tell Carter that she was going to Texas, it just seemed like Reese was talking to an asset. His tone was friendlier than when he speaks to Fusco giving orders but he was still giving orders. During season 1 even though Finch was technically Reese’s boss, as the season went on Reese was making as many decisions about how to protect the POI as much as Finch did. They transitioned more to a partnership, which is why it made sense for Reese to be the contingency. Reese is calling the shots and Carter & Fusco are along for the ride. So just from the season 2 premiere I’m not reading a whole lot into Reese’s interactions with Carter. However I reserve the right to change my tune come Thursday night. :-)

I think when the script cause for attraction then to be true to the character then actors/actresses would have to imagine each other as being attracted even if they do not think the person holds the attribute…but Carter is not portrayed in that manner; therefore why does Reese sees her in that way. She wears unflattery clothing and has a masculine personality. No one is hitting on Carter, so why does Jim thinks Reese is attracted to her when that is not the direction of the show. It could be argued that Carter personality is attractive, but Jim stated Carter’s physical attributes are attractive not her intangible attributes. Carter wears a pony tail most of the time and doesnt do any flirting like Zoe…Carter personality is the opposite of Jessica’s. That was the point I was trying to make, not that Jim finds Taraji as being attracted…the point I was trying to make is that Jim wants Reese to find Carter attractive especially when the writers/directors/producers have done everything in their power to portray Carter as an everyday hardworking cop of average looks with a man-like personality…hence, half of the fans wanting to call Carter a partner, brother in arms, and other masculine terms…again, her clothes!… and the writers have everyone calling her Carter, a guy’s name! So I was just stating that it is a discrepancy in how the show is portraying Carter and how Jim say Reese sees her…as beautiful and attractive.
I also noticed how when the first time Reese broke into Carter’s home and he was standing there in pain about Finch being taken and Carter did not do what the average woman would do…meaning go to him and comfort him by placing a hand on his back or something–she kept her distance, but Reese walked to her and closed in the gap and Carter pretty much stayed planted in her same spot. Taraji basically stated that Carter is not ready to find Reese attractive unless the writers write it in and thats what I got from the pre-screening panel and the times Carter had screen time with Reese her hair was in a pony tail, but at work when he was not around, her hair was down and she was looking feminine with her porn hair (lol)…but I can agree to disagree.
