Trivia

Tulsa, OK is mentioned for the third time in the series when it is stated that Laurie Granger is from Tulsa. It was previously mentioned in Person of Interest: Root Path (2014), when Root accesses a nuclear power plant in Tulsa and in Person of Interest: Death Benefit (2014), when Reese's Secret Service alias was from Tulsa.

Goofs

While Reese is pinned down by the hit woman he has a phone conversation with Finch. In the conversation Reese tells Finch he is out of ammo and the scene clearly shows his handgun with the breech fully open indicating the weapon is empty. In the next sentence of the same conversation we see the handgun again with the breech closed. See more »

Tows The Line Between Good And Evil

9 May 2016 | by awoolfork – See all my reviews

Its hard to describe this... im trying hard to give a decent but spoiler free review but the level at which this episode operates is great and i mean great! Watching the machine trying to find its way and tow the lines between who's good and who isn't is marvelous. If last week showed us how scary Samaritan can be, then in many ways this was The Machine flexing its muscle also. The cast were awesome, style, experimentation, everything. Episode took the awesomeness from Episode 1 and turned it up even more. This is the best early start to a season the POI writers have ever written.

Everyone go watch this episode!
