‘Person of Interest’ season 3 finale spoilers: The battle rages in ‘Deus Ex Machina’

Where is the finale of “Person of Interest” going to take you? The simple answer to that is some very interesting, shocking places. You’ve see the formation of Samaritan, and more and more of what it is capable of over time. However, what you have not seen just yet is just what this new program is really capable of.

The finale (which airs on May 13) is entitled “Deus Ex Machina,” or “god from the machine.” Doesn’t that sound just a wee bit ominous? We certainly think that it does. In case you haven’t found out enough about this story already, hopefully the synopsis below will give you some of the answers you want and also need:

“The team takes desperate actions in its race to prevent the malevolent AI program Samaritan from coming online and making them its first targets. Meanwhile, the months-long battle with the anti-surveillance terrorist group Vigilance comes to a shocking conclusion.”

“Person of Interest” had a great third season as a whole. It brought us more of Agent Shaw and Root, stunned us with the death of Carter, and created more mythology for the Machine than we ever thought we would get. This show has also mastered the art of the semi-procedural, in that it gives us just enough storytelling to keep us excited week-to-week while also still being friendly for syndication. That is not an easy thing to balance out when you are producing more than 22 episodes a season, but they are figuring it out.

Now, we just have to figure out if things for these characters can ever be as they once were.
