Day 8

In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much.

Here are some moments from Person of Interest that bring me joy.

Watch on YouTube

Mild-mannered bookworm Harold Finch is tricked by a woman he finds charming, who also happens to be the criminal he's trying to stop. And then. And then he dances. If this performance isn't the most adorable thing you've ever seen, you're lying.

Watch on YouTube

After 22 episodes of tentative buddy-cop friendship but total distrust, Fusco and Carter finally find out they're both working for the same people. Finch has been playing them off each other all this time, and he's terribly amused about it. This show gives you really satisfying resolution to plot points.

John Reese's friends love to make his life difficult. :D I am so here for Finch flirting with women on John's behalf. The computer nerd - who lives in a library - is smooth as butter while the handsome spy is useless at romance.

Watch on YouTube

Amazing Amy Acker. Root and the Machine being an impressive and terrifying team.

Watch on YouTube

Just like her soon-to-be girlfriend Root, Shaw is casually and competently badass, taking down would-be criminals. And then at the end John is quietly concerned about his (recently injured) Mayhem Twin.

There is kind of a theme about Fusco being kept out of the loop for as long as possible. But here he finally receives the trust he's more than earned. And then the whole team (minus Carter) meet up in an emotionally significant location. I love the music, I love that they gave us this moment, just to reflect on how the team grew and formed close bonds. They're a terribly odd family, but they love each other so much. They all found a place to belong, in a world that was cruel to them.

And last, because they're my OTP:

Bickering married couple takes (laughably bad) care of a sweet baby.

Thank you for the reminders!

That scene where Carter and Fusco figure it out will always be a favorite scene of mine.

I loved this show so much! I'm bookmarking this post so I can watch these vids at my leisure later. Thank you!

I love all of these! I crack up every time I watch the Carter & Fusco reveal scene. When Fusco just starts explaining to Carter and you can see the realizations wash over her... It's a great scene.

Finch drugged and dancing is hilarious, and John is so sweet, and then I want to cry when Finch calls him Nathan.

The baby one is adorable!

I'll be back for more later. *g*
