Person of Interest 1x14 Unedited

Wolf and Cub- Thank you so much for another great episode and reaction, Mega! I enjoy this episode a lot, and how Darren originally starts out to be the perpetrator. I'm glad that Reese forges a bond with the kid as he tries to teach him that revenge is never the way to solve a problem and that if he keeps going down his current path, he'll only wind up in prison, or dead. I understand Darren's drive for wanting to see his brother's killers dead, but I can't help feel Darren annoys me a bit throughout this episode too because he constantly keeps going off on his own against Reese's warnings about what will happen to him if he keeps walking down the path he's going down. He would have gotten himself killed over and over were it not for Reese and Fusco saving him every time. Nonetheless... I still like his character overall. Next... I also love the moments between Reese and Darren, when Darren talks about how Reese is like a Ronin warrior... someone who parted ways from his former employers upon being betrayed by them, and who now fights to protect the innocent from harm. It's absolutely true. We've now learned that Reese had been lied to about who he had been sent to kill, and that he had killed both bad people and innocent people as well, which we know Reese deeply regrets. And you can certainly see so in his eyes. Short of Reese carrying a samurai sword as his weapon of choice... he is a Ronin warrior, and I love it! Also... I like that Darren hires Reese to fight for him, then how Reese accepts only a quarter for payment. I really like Carter and especially Fusco a lot in this episode too. I feel this is the first episode where Reese and Fusco come to a better understanding between one another. And Reese is starting to consider Fusco as more of a friend than he ever used to. Reese even admits to Darren in front of Fusco that he does consider him a friend. And lastly... I love the moment between Reese and Darren in the end when Darren tries to assure Reese that one day, he will find a home too. It's quite a beautiful sentiment, and once again from the look in Reese's eyes... you can see that he doesn't believe such is possible for him. Reese has definitely come to find a family in his friends. But for him to believe he will one day find a happy ending... I can only imagine how difficult it would be for him to believe it. He certainly deserves to be happy once this is all over, because he's so much better than what he knows, but for someone who has killed good and bad people and who believes himself to be a monster, I understand why Reese can't believe it. Thank you again for a fun reaction, Mega! I can't wait for more like always!!! Until next time...
