    This was ultimately the best episode, and the one that must have been the time they got an official pick-up and boost in confidence from CBS execs. It felt livlier and less generic than the others and I loved the end scene and the two side-by-side stories, as always the character development and procedural drama of the show were both balanced and full. So excited for the next episode in TWO WEEKS. Sad there wasn't a promo.

    Count me in the "no way in hell is Irene actually dead" camp.

    Best ep of the season for me as we got some great Sherlock/Gregson moments and you could see the esteem that SH has for he Capt. Nice to see Callie T onscreen even though it wasn't a lot... Nice twists that the perp was using his son/accomplice to get exonerated... Good bit of slow exposition of who Irene was for SH, and the slow build in the trust level for Holmes and Watson...

    This was not one of my favorite episodes like most of the previous comments.

    For some reason the writers of this episode felt the need to really spell out every detail to the extreme. From Carter reading the address aloud, mentally connecting the dots, pausing and then putting a slash between the "66" and the "11th" as if she could not visualize such a complex code or something. Who needed that slash to put it together? What detective would do that on evidence? Then the nurse saying she was the "back-up plan" as if anybody could have missed that fact. This was one of the most dumbed-down episodes of the series. It removed most of what elevates Person of Interest from the more generic procedurals on TV.

    There was not much real mystery since it was established early in the episode that this week's number was coerced. No danger elements for any of Team Machine... The episode suffered from the constraints of being a procedural. They play up the super villain as highly skilled and dangerous, but. how effective and dangerous could Wesley be if his detailed action planned far ahead of time, backed up by a multi-member team of professionals was foiled by a single operator working ad hoc. I guess he was skilled enough to escape in the end after his plan fell apart.

    The A-story was far less interesting to me than the B-story with Carter and Agent Snow.Even that was nothing new to viewers though honestly, but it did let Carter and Reese into the fact that Snow is being handled by "someone".

    There were some fun aspects of the episode though so it was not all bad.
    - Having Finch face his hospital phobia by diving into the chest cavity hands first was great!
    - Julian Sands was a fun guest star. I thought Sands was creepy when he was younger, but age has made him unexpectedly even more creepy! Ack!
    - Some comic relief with Tao and Bear even if it felt a bit heavy-handed to me.
    - I liked that they moved the Kara plot forward by letting Carter know that Agent snow is not acting on his own, but it was a baby step really...

    Over all this was just an "OK" episode for me and I hope that this dumbed-down episode is not the beginning of a trend....

    i mean she could be, like in the recent film. but having been brought up the "name" i feel like we would see or learn more of her later as flashback or a twist as u would say. im up for either.



    and yea i am loving Elementary every week. personally i like this modern take. Joan Watson does not bother me. and the UK series just doesn't do for me those short series are just not to my liking i like a series to have a lot of episodes. and the Uk is always 6-8 per a fucking year. too much to wait and by the time its season 3 or 4 if it goes on they fuck it up with character change.

    I really love how Jonny Lee Miller plays Sherlock, he is a terrific actor and the rest of the cast is really great too. The scene between Aidan Quinn and JLM are my favorite, I'm happy that Elementary gets more ep !
