geebsTV commentary:
Person of Interest- Well, we finally have an answer to that question! Being how Shaw feels, if she reciprocates Root's feelings. Some Shoot/Raw fans were upset the ep was a simulation. Sure, they didn't actually have sexy times, but Shaw's feelings were real. Root was her safe place, and she'd rather die than have to hurt her.
In any case, Samaritan is pretty insidious, having Shaw go through the escape scenario thousands of times, trying to get her to show it where Team Machine resides. Shaw is strong, and I think part of her realizes its a simulation- before we see its a simulation, we think the flashes she's seeing is Samaritan trying to exert control on her. And it is, in a way, but more Samaritan being all, "Get on with this crap, lead me to the Machine!" But I do wonder how long she can hold out.
Because while it is torture, its incredibly indirect. They're not causing her pain until she reveals where Team Machine is, they're messing with her head and trying to get her to run to them. Like there were subtle things in the ep- like Root and Reese finding her, and her waking up in a subway car. But a random one, not the base. So the truth is leaking out, and how many more times will she be put through it before she accidentally slips.
Now, the 2nd ep of the night was pretty shocking. Apparently Elias is alive! Fusco alerted the team after he got shot, and they put Elias into hiding. Which I guess makes Fusco's annoyance in the first or second ep make more sense. It wasn't that he knew Elias died mysteriously and was covering it up, he was trying to cover up something much bigger.
Still, they really need to read Fusco in. I don't see how him not knowing protects him. Particularly now when he knows something is definitely wrong and is investigating and getting Samartian's attention anyways!
NCIS- Damn, they actually did it. They freaking killed Ziva off screen. Which is total BS. But apparently Tony had knocked her up at some point, so they did get together. (Again, off screen, which is BS!) And so that's how Tony leaves, he has a daughter now. Heh, a conversation with Jimmy makes it clear for him. Jimmy politely wonders if Tony is coming back to work, since he's a single dad now, with a dangerous job. Tony insists he can juggle it. But that's not what actually pushes Tony to leave.
Jimmy is giving Tony parenting advice, and about modeling happiness for children. He paints a picture of the future for Tony, guessing at Tony's life plan of staying at NCIS, getting Gibbs job when he retires, and he tells him Tali will see that he's happy and follow suit. Only problem is, we see from Tony's face that maybe that isn't the life he wants anymore. (And partly that maybe he doesn't want his daughter following in her parent's footsteps)
Indeed, when Mcgee calls saying they found Kort, his first thought wasn't to get his vengeance, it was to take care of his daughter. I mean, he did show up, because they had to finish it. But seriously, Kort didn't think Ziva was going to be in the farmhouse? I guess he truly might not have, because he knew that would've brought the whirlwind down on him as it did, with several agents (the way Nina from 24 and MI6 guy figured prominently these past couple of eps, I wonder if one of them will replace Tony?) surrounding him, ready to shoot him dead.
But that makes his plan incredibly stupid. He just wanted to destroy Eli David's files? A mortar attack on a farm house was a sloppy way to do it. He was looking to destroy something specific. He had no confirmation the files were there, and even if they were, that the mortar attack would take it out. And doing it that way would ensure people would sift through the rubble and possibly find the very files he was trying to keep hidden! I get he couldn't be there personally, but it still didn't make sense.
So in the end, having avenged Ziva, Tony quits, planning to take Tali back to Israel to "find answers" and then once that's done, move to Paris with his kid, since Ziva always loved Paris. I'm kinda annoyed they killed her off, but at least Tony got a nice sendoff, they didn't kill him off as well.
