Is ‘Person of Interest’ season 5, episode 11 new tonight on CBS?

Over the course of the past few weeks, we definitely think that the folks over at CBS have played games with our heads when it comes to “Person of Interest” this season. They put the series on for one in late spring, and from there they opted to air two episodes a week to ensure that the show would be effectively coming to a close by the time “Big Brother” season is more or less upon us.

Now, they are shifting gears once more when it comes to how to air new episodes. There is no new installment of the drama tonight, and that means that you’re going to have to wait until tomorrow to find out more in terms of how the show handles the loss of Root, one of its most beloved characters. It did establish that we could still get more of Amy Acker’s voice the rest of the series, but if that happens, it is hardly the same.

Ultimately, the simplest way that we can describe the final episodes is as such: An epic battle against Samaritan, where the fate of humanity and the future of the Machine are firmly up in the air. Reese, Finch, Shaw, and others are going to be tested in more ways than ever before, and we ultimately imagine that there are going to be many intense stories told over the next three hours.

Be sure to come back tomorrow, as you better believe we’re going to have some other news setting up the end of this season!
