This is the episode I joined the patreon for. Shaw is my absolute favorite & Root is a close second. Thank you so much for a wonderful reaction!

My compact Persian sociopath is here! One of the best intros to a character, ever. Root & Shaw are by far my 2 favs. Can’t wait for the end of the season. It’s so so good!!

Relevance- Yay! Thank you again for another great reaction for Person of Interest!!! I really enjoy this episode overall, and you've now been introduced to Sameen Shaw, played by actress... Sarah Shahi, who is a great actress whom I really like in many shows and movies too. And I absolutely love Shaw's character the most out of any role she's ever played, as well as her partner's character, Michael Cole, played by actor... Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
I was sad when Shaw's partner, Cole, was killed off, but I loved the moment in this episode when Cole immediately jumps between Shaw and the bullets to protect her, giving his life for her. He definitely cared about her very much, and while Shaw tells the drug dealers that she doesn't feel emotions like everyone, from her reaction you can tell that she really did care about him too. I love Shaw's determination to go after their boss upon finding out he set them both up to be killed.
Also... I love when she shoots him to get her revenge in the end. What a brilliant moment for Shaw! And yet she also understands that she's done good for the government and protected good people, or killed bad people, and therefore I love how she still wants to protect the project, no matter how the numbers she's been getting are given to her.
Unfortunately, Special Counsel orders Hersch to kill her anyways, and they would have succeeded were it not for Reese, Finch, Carter, Fusco, and Tao all working together to fake her death in order to save her life. Had Shaw taken Finch's advice, this might not have happened to her.
Like you... I love how this episode was shown through Shaw's point of view, making Reese and Finch more like secondary characters throughout this episode. I love each of their interactions, especially in the very end after Reese, Finch, Fusco, Carter, and even Leon Tao save her life when she's supposedly killed by Control's number one thug... Hersch. Brilliant!
I love how they save Shaw, then how Finch offers her his card for a second time, which sets up the possibility for Shaw to come back into the show at some point. Like you... I love that she's someone who can fight like Reese and that there's a good chance of her being a recurring character in the future. :)
Overall... this is a brilliant episode! And I love it! So... thank you so much for another great reaction, Mega!!! Until next time...
Sincerely,
Heidi

Her name is Shaw and she's a badass. Such a great episode and character. You weren't the only one confused about what was going on in the beginning. The way this episode came together was amazing. The writers of this show are the best in the business in my opinion.
Also, I noticed that you saw the glitch from the machine. Any thoughts on why the machine is have these glitches?
