Any episode of Person Of Interest can make you cry if you think hard enough about it

#john reese #harold finch #person of interest #thinking about how 'John Warren' has the cover story closest to Reese's actual one #when did Joh trust Harold enough to tell him the truth? or when did Harold know there was enough trust he could tell Reese what he knew #or how in Prisoner's Dilemma John threatens Harold with a gun because he's so scared to hurt him #or how John leaves in Shadow Box not even spending the time to dry Bear and then not coming home for a while #just think for a moment about how excited Bear got at hearing John's voice over the earbud- and then when John finally returned!! #John talking to Shaw outside Cole's parents' house & 'they didn't need to take their memory of him. Even the CIA wouldn't stoop that low' #''in our line of work we walk in the dark. doesn't mean we have to walk in it alone'' #Fusco watching out for Carter by looking into Beecher both with and without her asking #(not that he was right but that he did it) #in case we couldn't tell I'm obsessed with John Reese #and the way HAROLD AND CARTER were immediately breaking rules to get Reese out a jail when he was willing to go down for it all #if you can't tell I'm kinda on a POI kick tonight- but I'm also scheduling/queueing some stuff for later #don't think about how shaw was going to become a doctor but then got kicked out because she couldn't empathize well enough #and then became a killer instead! #or how we learn root (in an episode that was expected to center around finch) had a tragic backstory but leaves it behind b/c John solves i #or how Lionel only ever wanted his son safe and Shaw realized that but then couldn't save him as we all expected in the crossing #and another one #The season 4 episode where we see that John believed he was closer to Carter than he actually was!
