Something I love is the fact that nobody is telling Root to move on. None of these guys are telling her “snap out of it, we all miss Shaw”, because they understand that Root misses her the most. They understand her heartbreak, and they respect it. They are giving her the time and space to grief in whatever way she needs to, while keeping her grounded to carry out the mission, to make sure she doesn’t lose herself. They are not falling into the tired cliché of “men don’t do feelings”, and I think that’s amazing.
I killed the bastard.
“skewed too female for the network’s schedule” nice to know CBS still really cares about women!!!! (x)
“It tested well with audiences.” Who do you want to watch your show? An audience. So what should matter before you decide what to pick up? The audience’s opinion! And who are 50% of the world’s population and thus 50% of their potential audience? Exactly, WOMEN! Will they EVER learn?
The PoI writers:
- make Iris Campbell into a love interest for John Reese. Possibly just for the purpose of making the episode with Taraji Henson more resonant.
- Carter’s… whatever (guardian angel !) tells John to be more open.
- We never actually see any of that between Reese and Campbell.
- They bring back Iris and have the force of Stanton’s memory make John break up with Iris.
???
look, the straight guy is unhappy (and I love John)
The four times Root got shot in the arm/shoulder
3x05 // 3x10
i think there’s something wrong with the kid
you’re different, aren’t you? … they can’t spot what you really are
- There is a bone in the back of your ear. It’s the stapes… or stirrup. It’s very small. It’s very important. Without it, sound can’t travel from your ear to your brain.
crushes are so stupid honestly getting a crush on someone can take two seconds but recovering from it can take years i’d like to file a complaint
We need an answer. I need an answer. If Sameen is alive or if she’s dead
root’s ‘really?’ glare is just the *best*. like, root couldn’t believe the stupid that was coming out of john’s mouth. and john all of the sudden remembered the time he went rogue and the whole team had to go get him. in that second root remembered all the reasons why she keeps calling him names.
