I actually really love each season equally for many different reasons. The storylines from season to season certainly progress and become more and more intense, but season one is definitely just as good as any of the rest of the seasons are. I love them all equally.

2021-02-05 15:38:57 +0000 UTCMany Happy Returns- I absolutely love this episode, and how it takes place on Reese's birthday. This is easily one of my favorite episodes, not just from this season, but from throughout the entire show as well. And Jim Caviezel's performance in this episode is absolutely phenomenal throughout. Jessica's husband and the U.S. Marshall are two very different people, although both men are abusive husbands. Both are very bad men, whom Reese beats severely and then we are left to speculate that Reese has put them both away inside a Mexican prison where neither of them will ever be able to hurt their wives or anyone else ever again because they won't ever be freed. And upon the revelation from the prison's warden that at least one or two other Americans have been brought here by Reese as well... we can now believe in the possibility that the rapist Reese had taken care of to protect the doctor back in episode four... Cura Te Ipsum, is also one of the Americans he brought here to protect the doctor, which I very much love too. Now... Finch is afraid to tell Reese about Sarah, because she is an abused wife terrified of her abusive husband, just like Jessica was too. He knew this case would be extremely personal for Reese. And while Finch wanted to protect Reese because he worries about him, I do believe a part of Finch is also afraid of how Reese would react, and seeing how he does react... Finch has every reason to be worried. I too would have been okay had Reese killed the marshal, and wouldn't have thought any less of Reese had he done so. But I absolutely love that we learn he didn't. This shows us just how good he really is, and how strong he is as well. What happens to Jessica is tragic, and my heart breaks for Reese upon seeing how broken he becomes upon losing her. And not just because he loses her, but because he fails to be there for her when she needed him most, even though he really isn't to blame for her death. Reese blames himself because he didn't leave right after he spoke with her because he felt obligated to fulfill this one last mission. And if this wasn't bad enough... this is when Reese learns that his agency has been lying to him about everything, only rubbing salt in his wounds so to speak. Lying to him about the good he's supposedly been doing, and about the people he's killed. Like we learned in the previous episode... Wolf and Cub, Reese has killed a number of people who were really innocent, all because those he worked for lied to him about who is good and who is bad. It's terrible. I understand why Reese is now on the run and why everyone has believed him to be dead until he's started working with Finch in New York. But sadly... his agency still aren't the only ones looking to take Reese down. Agent Donnelly with the FBI is looking for him now too, and it's not good. Fun fact... the actress who plays Sarah, the woman who Reese saves from her abusive cop husband, is Dagmara Dominczyk who stars alongside Jim Caviezel in The Count of Monte Cristo just like you believed. Nice work, my friend! I love Dagmara in The Count of Monte Cristo as Mercedes, and I also really love her in this episode of Person of Interest. And I really love the chemistry that these actors have between one another. Their screen time together in this episode is short lived, but you can tell there's a bond between them and their characters, especially when Reese assures her she is now safe and free to live her life again. And their chemistry in The Count of Monte Cristo is phenomenal and beautiful too. Not only do I love Reese throughout this episode, but I love Finch and Carter throughout it too. While it's tough that Finch doesn't tell Reese about the woman in trouble and it might be wrong for him to have kept Reese in the dark in spite of Reese later finding out about her later on anyways, I can also understand why Finch didn't tell him. Because he was afraid for Reese. Not just because he was afraid of how Reese would react and what he might do, but he also was afraid of what might come of him. Finch and Reese may not openly state how much they've come to care about one another, and for both Carter and Fusco too. But they do care and they are friends. So, of course Finch is worried about Reese and he wants very much to protect him, as does Carter. Not so much that he would become a monster, like the man Reese always sees himself to be. And I just absolutely love this. And I love how Carter receives a call in the end from the prison warden down in Mexico to let her know about the Marshal being locked away per Reese's request, so that she would be assured that he didn't kill this man like she feared he might have done. I love Carter's investigation into New Rochelle, that leads her to discovering the truth behind Reese' past and the death of the woman he loved. And I love that in the end, she destroys the evidence she collects on him in order to protect Reese from the FBI"s investigation into him. While Carter is afraid of breaking the law she's always fought to remain on the right side of because she's good, she also understands that Reese is a good man fighting to protect innocent people that are failed when the rules are followed. And to her, she's come to realize that the world needs men like Reese and Finch in it to keep these people safe. I love it!! And in the very end... we see just how long Finch has been keeping an eye on Reese, upon him having received Reese's, Jessica's, and Jessica's abusive husband's numbers some time before Finch and Reese came to work with one another. I love that we see Finch in the hospital in the moment Reese finds out that Jessica had been killed, as he then whispers a sincere apology to Reese after Reese walks away from him, showing how sorry he is for failing to protect the woman Reese loved. Overall... a phenomenal episode! So, thank you so much, Clint! And thank you for your continued reactions for this phenomenal show! I can't wait for you to continue watching on during this amazing binge!!! Until next time, my friend... Thank you! Sincerely, Heidi

Season 3 being the epitome, while season 4 and 5 still being better than seasons 1 and 2, which is saying a lot considering how good seasons 1 and 2 are. You have no idea where this show will take you. :D Can't wait.

2021-02-05 15:26:06 +0000 UTCThank you for the reaction. One of my favourite episodes. The ending is amazing and it looks like John is a better person than everyone gave him credit. At the end there when the warden from the Mexican Prison called, Carter asked if there are any other Americans there asking to see if he delivered anyone. He said 1 or 2. Meaning we find out what happened with both Peter and the guy who raped the doctor's sister in episode 4, the one where we didn't see what John did.
