Person of Interest Season 2 Episode 4 Triggerman

Comments

Heidi Elizabeth Marcum

Triggerman- I really love this episode a lot! Especially for the main story and seeing Reese struggling to deal with whether or not he should save Riley, when he struggles with whether or not he's worthy of being saved himself. I also really like how Finch starts to call Riley bad code, but immediately cuts himself of upon realizing that he was using the exact words Root used to describe someone people not consider worth saving. And if you remember from the previous episode, titled... Bad Code, Finch actually tells Root that Reese is proof that people can change and be better men no matter their background. He's proof that not all humans are bad code. And I believe that by the end of this episode, after talking with Reese about Riley and how they should deal with him, Finch most certainly comes to understand that he had been wrong to assume the worst in Riley too. Because he remembered his own words to Root about Reese. I absolutely love this!! :) As for why Reese comes after the hitman in the end... Yeah, it's definitely because the guy killed Riley. While Riley is as much a perpetrator as he is a victim, Reese sees himself in Riley and it once again makes him doubt whether or not he too is worth being saved. So, failing to save Riley has become personal to him, and Reese felt he owed it to Riley and Annie to avenge his death. And I really appreciate this a lot. And like always... I absolutely love seeing Elias again too. A way to remind us he's still around and is still very much a threat and/or an ally. I also really love seeing Finch return to the prison to play chess with Elias upon making a deal with him to be his chess partner. It establishes a new relationship between these two cunning men who prefer to stay in the background of their operations. Very interesting. :) Thank you so much, Jay! Until next time... Sincerely, Heidi
