#poi 1x03 mission creep

WEEE POI EP 3 IS MY FAV SO FAR... like it's only the third episode but i'm inclined to say POI's writing is sooo good actually. spoilers!!

like a nerd my first thought is how GOOD the flashbacks and the current timeline parallel each other. we don't actually know if jessica heard reese or not--maybe she did, and that's why reese feels even more guilty about her death. i quite like the introduction of like. the struggle of keeping your loved ones near you vs keeping them safe. something about it's better to live (take the risk, as jessica puts it) than survive (not take the risk and give up everything)

another thematic element was sprinkles of finch's lines. from "don't let you feelings get in the way" to "you did what you could." (more on the latter one later!) from finch being guarded to him saying the first line and yet...

... finch risked himself to save reese <33

I FORGOT but also joey telling reese he follows orders bc it makes life simpler. isn't that kind of what reese is doing, too? after all, finch says in the first episode that he's giving reese a purpose. thonking emoji...

carter and reese talking to each other over the radio was SO GOOD. every time carter gets screen time i get so excited. i wanna know more about her!!!

i quite like the introduction of the elias mystery. it gives us the first overarching plot, i think, aside from what's already laid out by the basic premise. not that you NEED overarching plots to have a good time, but if u know me u know it intrigues me!

ok back to smth i brought up in #2. i've been waiting because so far the last two episodes ended on successes, like the cut-and-dry ones. i was hoping it would still end well for joey and it did, but it was also not something that could've been easily fixed, perse. i'm looking forward to a future ep where things don't end the way reese and finch hope it would and how they would react to that. (if that will ever happen.)

That’s one of the things you learn over there. In the end, we’re all alone and no one’s coming to save you.

Be happy with Peter.

You don’t believe that. Not really. You wanna be brave?

Take a risk.
