Man vs.machine

[astri13]

My crackpot theory for Person of Interest Season 2? The first episode will start with Nathan Ingram at the other end of that phone call.

Other than that, I really have no idea what's going to happen. What does Root want with Finch? I mean, they seem to be going for some parallel with Sherlock and Moriaty from Sherlock, the consultant for the crime-solvers and the consultant for the crime-doers. Only here we have Finch using the ultimate knowledge for good and Root using it for evil. However, for a true paralell that would mean her having the same powers/knowledge re: the machine that Harold does. And, I kinda don't think so. She must know OF it and see the potential and to truly seize it, she needs Harold? Hm.

Thankfully Carter and Fusco know about each other now. While the subterfuge between them made for some funny scenes, I wouldn't have wanted for it to go on longer.

Also, kudos, show for creating a nice sense of suspense there all throughout the episodes. And with very minimal measures to boot. It was just a couple of people chasing each other around and trying to outsmart each other at every turn.

My hope for the start of Season 2 would be the machine itself being the dominant player in taking down Root, showing that it is a powerful entity onto itself now. And one which should be, in all honesty, more powerful than ANY human by now. Not sure how they'd be able to physically show this but I have faith in the show.

You're so enthusiastic about this show that I keep thinking I have to give it another try!

I'm not sure if Root doesn't have access to a machine of her own. The Chinese seem to be in possession of one, she might have access to that one so she knows what its capapable of. However, what good does such a machine, if you can only use it on the Chinese. What she would want is access to an American one. She already told Finch she's into blackmail. So she could use the SSNs for blackmail, or she could be trying to use Finch to get further access.

You think Nathan is still alive?

I think it's the mashine itself is calling.
I'm intrigued by the finale but i hope the mashine isn't the more powerful than any human. I don't want it to become new terminator. What i do want to see though is the mashine being worried about its creator. It'd be so sweet :)

I had the same thought about it being Ingram on the phone but I'm thinking that might be too obvious.

I'm not sure what her role will be in this but it should be interesting.

I loved the scene with Fusco and Carter, them finding out about each other was pretty hysterical!
