Person of Interest drinking game
Mar. 4th, 2012 04:40 pmI only have two more unwatched episodes to go. I also have a six-pack. Help me make a PoI drinking game.
Drink whenever:
1) Reese creepily stalks Finch, and everyone is okay with it. Now I want stalker!Reese fic.
2) Finch appears out of fucking thin air.
3) Carter hesitates to help Reese, and he's able to completely change her mind with a few pithy words.
- double drink if the pithy words have something like "you could ____ or you could save a life."
4) Fusco is under-appreciated. Is it bad that I like Fusco loads more than Carter? I think I would like Carter a lot more and think she was great if everyone stopped talking about how great she was.
5) Reese smiles.
6) Someone mentions Elias or he shows up. Note + Spoilers: This rule does not apply to "Foe," or I would be dead.
7) This one is borrowed from Vallegirl's PoI recaps on tvgasm: Reese shoots someone in the knee.
8) Carter brings up Reese's suits.
Some might argue that another rule should be "whenever Finch loses his limp" or "Finch can move his neck," but Finch himself has said that the pain can range from day to day, so I'm not sure if that's Michael Emerson forgetting to limp or if that's deliberate. Can we plot Finch's feelings in relation to the severity of his pain? I must stop being an engineer.
Also, look. Now I have a new tag, since I'm talking about this show like crazy. There goes my determination to keep my tags to a manageable amount.

Podcast of Interest
Mar. 4th, 2012 05:03 pmSelf-congratulatory bullshit that tries to boost the egos and perceived IQs of the hosts. Why the fuck am I not surprised? It's all analysis and shit, which sure, is sometimes cool, but if I wanted a play by play of the entire episode, I would just watch the episode. Their feed is here if you want to take a listen.
The podcasts aren't that bad, but personally I would rather go read Vallegirls tvgasm recaps. EDIT: the old ones. The new recaps seem kind of bitter and mean. You can poke fun at the show, you don't have to be crazy for everything in the show, but there doesn't seem to be any underlying love in their new stuff.
Note: I was listening to the podcast for Number Crunch, which is like, my favourite episode EVER, along with Super. And one of the podcasters posited that Ingram inserts his consciousness into the machine. "Oh, like Star Wars," the other one said, and I shouted "NO!" before I even knew what I was doing. It is not fucking Star Wars. If they are referring to Darth Vader, he is still a dude in a suit. Maybe something like Ghost in the Shell or the database in Doctor Who's "Silence in the Library" would be a more apt comparison. Maybe even the Magi in Neon Genesis Evangelion. But just. Arg. No. I was just sitting there fuming about that for reasons I still don't completely understand. Proably because everyone thinks all science fiction is Star Wars.
