Person of Interest: "2-PI-R"

[foolish_m0rtal]

So, maybe I can attribute this to having a keen interest/profession in the world of software engineering, but I've been weirdly invested in the characters from this episode to the extent that I'm actually writing a small fic about Caleb Phipps and Chris Beckner's lives after the episode.

And yeah yeah, every person thinks their fic is super interesting and merits paragraphs of discussion while other people are like, ermagerd please no more. It's just that I think those two characters complement one another very well, and maybe Teen Wolf and Skyfall have given me a thing for age difference!fics. Again, they're also both my compu-nerd homeboys, so there's that.

So this is probably going to be the tiniest most obscure fic ever, even more obscure than my Godzilla fic (which I will finish at some point, I swear!)

I love writing engineers and scientists because I think their reasoning and decision making paths are subtly different than others, and I understand them and feel they aren't showcased enough in fandom. This is why I have a huge fan-crush on the XMFC fandom, because Charles is a genetics professor, and Erik is often written as an engineer, and I explode from happiness at watching geeks romance in their natural habitats. :D

Anywayyy, fandom aside, what were your thoughts on the episode? I haven't seen Prisoner's Dilemma yet, but I have it buffered in one of my browser tabs. I'll have to watch it once I've finished moving into my new flat.

I really enjoyed the episode, mostly because I'm a programmer, and for some reason my son seems to think I have the ability to hack into computers like Finch (I don't, but don't tell him that).

I loved Finch's lecture on PI (info I'd never known before), and the end was perfect. I think it would be cool to find out what happens after. I bet you find more readers than you think.
