“Why were you late in today?”

“Oh, I got tied up on the subway…”

I was always 50/50 on whether to reblog this but the last comment pushed it to like 95/5 in favor.

“What’s our stop?”

“You’ll get off when I tell you to.”

person of interest spent 20 episodes never forgetting that shaw was missing (4x12 through 5x09, inclusive)
twenty episodes of root searching for shaw
twenty episodes between shaw sacrificing herself for the team and her reuniting with the team
twenty episodes of emotional build-up showing how much root needed shaw in her life and how important root was to shaw’s survival
that’s 870 on-screen minutes of show
43 minutes of that was an entire episode showing how root is shaw’s primary means of distinguishing reality from simulation after samaritan’s torture
and after those 20 episodes, those 870 minutes of palpable angst and ever-present feeling that someone’s missing, after that emotional wringer of an episode demonstrating root’s importance to shaw, once shaw is back we get the following
shaw’s reunion with root in 5x09 lasts a total of 3 minutes and 50 seconds across two scenes and a shocker teaser at the end of an act
her reunion scene with the team at the end of 5x09 lasts a total of 50 seconds
shaw gets a grand total of 2 minutes and 18 seconds in one scene of episode 5x10 to interact on-screen with the entire team together, whole and intact
shaw gets 4 minutes and 52 seconds to interact on-screen alone with root in two scenes of 5x10 before root is killed
after 870 minutes of buildup and nearly a year of in-show time (well over a year for the audience), the sum total of the emotional payoff lasts less than twelve minutes
after 870 minutes of buildup and nearly a year of in-show time (well over a year for the audience), the sum total of the emotional payoff with root and shaw specifically lasts less than nine minutes
that’s a 99:1 suffering to happiness ratio
thanks for that
say what you will about being dicked around by cbs with scheduling and being forced to do number of the week episodes and the burying of gays
that’s just unsatisfying storytelling
oh jonah and greg, you say you wanted more root and shaw?
maybe don’t kill root with three episodes left to go after they’ve had less than ten minutes worth of a reunion
just a thought
