Person of Interest: Batman Jesus Meets the Daughter of Jason Bourne and Catwoman
Reese and Finch track a lethal and most formidable operative on the run
“Relevance” – A lethal and sexy government operative who tracks and stops terrorist threats before they occur finds herself on the run – and the new focus of Reese and Finch’s attention. However, their pursuit proves to be their most formidable when they discover that her remarkable skillset equals their own, on PERSON OF INTEREST, Thursday, Feb. 21 (9:00 – 10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Series Executive Producer Jonathan Nolan directed the episode. Sarah Shahi (Life, Fairly Legal, The L Word) guest stars as government operative Samantha Shaw. Also guest starring are Ken Leung (yasssssss he’s back) and Paul Sparks (who, btw, is the real-life husband of Annie Parisse aka Kara Stanton).

Sneak Peek:
Person of Interest: Sarah Shahi previews her debut
If Jason Bourne and Catwoman had a daughter, it would be agent Samantha Shaw, Sarah Shahi’s character on this Thursday’s Person of Interest. Her words. And with a description like that, Shahi says “it was kind of impossible not to do it.”
So what exactly brings Shaw into the fold? That’s hard to explain without ruining a few secrets about this special episode, but what Shahi could say was that Shaw crosses paths with Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Finch (Michael Emerson) after her number comes up. But their first encounters don’t go exactly as planned.
“The first couple of times they try to save me, I don’t know who the f— they are, so I try to kill them,” she laughs. But her survivor’s spirit is a result of Shaw’s damaged past, she explains. “All she knows is that she’s has nowhere to go. Her own country has turned against her and she has no idea who these guys are. She feels like she can’t trust anybody but herself.” (Tease: By the end of the episode, Reese and Finch might work their way into her good graces.)
Thursday won’t be fans’ only taste of Shaw. The character is set to return, and Shahi says she’d jump at the opportunity to do so. “The dynamic is great and working with [Caviezel and Emerson] is so great — even the tiniest look is full of so much,” the former Fairly Legal star says. “There’s TV and then there’s Person of Interest.”
MICKEY DOYLE ON POI, I CAN’T HANDLE IT TBH. The press release better not be lying to me.

I will never not miss Life :'(
I AM FULLY CAUGHT UP AND SO EXCITED ABOUT IT
AND YASSSSSSS. Now you can watch it as it airs and freak out with everyone else, lol. And just in time because tonight's episode looks amazing. I can't waitttttt.
I cannot wait for the season finale, it's all ramping up to be totally amazing.
Root's return was semi-spoiled for me though :( I made a graphic of her in 1.23 and someone reblogged it and added a "she's baaack" comment but tbh it was inevitable so I don't really care much
he's just so cute okay
lol it's funny because I was just thinking the other week that neither Lena Basilone nor Kara Stanton would have ANY time whatsoever for Mickey's bullshit. <3 But I love him and he & Meyer will be the only ones left standing at the end of the show, lbr.
I might be missing the ep tonight, sadly, but flawless OP remains flawless.
I almost missed it because there aren't any pics or anything and his name is just in the press release randomly. As I said, they better not be lying or sth, I need to see him. I NEED IT. If he giggles at some point, that would be nice too.
And aw just make sure you catch up, if only for Mickey Doyle :')
ilu bb <333
this little family right here, I just love'em <3
:)
And I'm soo here for Mr Mickey Doyle. OMG.
And ikrrrrrrr, I am excite :D
idk how to feel about this new "Reese-like character". I hope she wins me over, because apparently she'll be recurring?? right now I'm not feeling her.
as for the last episode omg!! Zoe + Reese. Good job Zoe, get it!
But bummed about lack of Carter and Reese interaction for the 2nd episode in a row. I hope they at least talk in this one. smh.
Also ew at Cal Beecher costing Carter her FBI job. not cool. /lots of POI feelings up in hurr.
idk, I'm happy to say I trust these writers with female characters. And after we lost Stanton I think we need another kick-ass female presence. The way I see it is, the show is delving into this whole cyberterrorism/relevant numbers thing and they needed a new character to flesh things out. Instead of adding another dude, they added a woman. I like that. And the actress was really good on Life so I hope she fits in.
lol Zoe/Reese is hot, ngl. I think Carter was/is purposely keeping her distance a lil' bit but I hope tonight that gets sorted out.
And ugh Beecher seems shady. Or it's a set-up. I hate that it messed up things for Carter too, but as a storyline it totally intrigues me, ngl.
/even more PoI feelings, lol
Do you guys think they'll die or will it be more of an Angel "let's get to work" ending?
/this has been a happy comment
But this season has been more optimistic imo; Reese is healing slowly, Finch has Grace still out there. idk. They may just do that "let's get to work" thing. Which I always like. A death is certainly intense and final (and the only true closure), but I'm always moved by the endings that have the characters just keepin' on (like Third Watch or, like, L&O Criminal Intent).
I would be fine either way tbh. And I think that hopefully we'll have a few seasons before we have to worry about that.
Finch and Grace were so cute in 2.08 I wanted to die of feelings.
Oohh, a third possibility/ending-style, like The Wire.
Yeah, POI's doing excellently ratings-wise, isn't it? It'll probably last forever haha.
I don't know Ryan outside of FL but his character was too unlikeable and part of the reason I stopped watching.
