Grumblings and forebodings

[litlover12]

I had a long and elaborate dream about Finch and Grace from Person of Interest last night. Basically, he found out she was a secret agent. Freaky. (Probably the fault of all those IMDb posters who suspect something of the sort, though when I'm awake I don't put any stock in those theories at all!)

I hope the actual episode with her will be better than that . . . but after my initial excitement, I'm now getting really nervous about it. I have this feeling it's not going to go well. It's just been that kind of a season.

At least Root wasn't in my dream. I am SO SICK of that smug little brat. I came up with this LOTR analogy the other day, where the Machine is Tolkien's Ring, Finch is Frodo (because he's responsible for it), and Root is Gollum (because she's utterly obsessed with it). Thinking of her as Gollum has made me just barely able to tolerate her . . . but I still hate the way she's taking over the whole freakin' show. And it's probably not going to end any time soon, because rumor has it that Jonah Nolan loves writing for her. I can't imagine why, because she's the most one-note character there ever was, but that's the rumor. Bleah. Why is that TV writers' favorite characters are always the characters I hate??

I have no idea who she is so...

*checks intertubes*

*gasp*

Amy Acker! She's the cutest! And apparently has a time machine because she still looks pretty much the same as she did on 'Angel' a zillion years ago.

O.o

Yeah, she is a good actress. I liked her in "Dollhouse" and in the recent "Much Ado about Nothing" film. But this character on POI is just AWFUL.

I like Root, but I think she's best in small doses.

Exactly -- she was fine in small doses. But now it seems like she's taking over the place. Like kudzu. :-)

LOL. I did kinda like the episode - I forget how recent it was because I watched a whole bunch this week to catch up - with the janitor whose life she had screwed up. She's become so smug with her connection to the machine that it was refreshing to see some of that emotion from her. (Not that the other characters are particularly emotional, but she and Shaw both have a long ways to go in terms of character development.)
