maybe someday @darkscifi - Tumblr Blog

When you see this statue again, think impact.

the machine’s relating of root’s feelings about shaw’s personality emphasise Her aforementioned comprehension of the nature of love; “what is love, if not being seen?”. and i think that’s a very real question the show has been posing throughout the seasons.

root and shaw understood each other for exactly what they were, and accepted, loved one another unreservedly within their respective capacities for doing so.

of the other, admittedly sparse, relationships presented on this show, an unwillingness to present oneself entirely - a form of deceit, no matter how virtuously intended - or a reluctance to see someone for who they are rather than who they’d have them be ideally is often noticeable. for example, as of 05x12 john and jessica’s relationship was portrayed as being effectively doomed whether or not he’d been honest and stayed for her, as we learned that jessica ultimately would have been unable to accept all aspects of john’s nature. and harold never felt as though he was in the position to be entirely honest with grace, which was that final string of connection constantly missing from their relationship.

i’m sad about a lot of the things that have happened for these two characters, but i truly believe that root and shaw shared the most unconditional, knowing, love on person of interest. a relationship that began with dissembling became perhaps the most honest. they found in one another, more than anyone else, someone who truly /saw/ them and loved them in light of that. that is such a powerful connection. i’m glad the final episode acknowledged that.

#tapetum lucidum is the name of a layer of tissue in the eye of some animals that reflects light back through the retinas #causing the phenomenon known as ‘eyeshine’. #it allows for superior night vision and for this reason is usually found in nocturnal animals #especially carnivores #and those that hunt their prey at night.

THOUGHT! (I know, those are dangerous, you should probably duck)

I love how each one is presented as a very different kind of dangerous/predator:

Reese is quite clearly given the imagery of Death: cold, skeletal, ruthless. The lightning and symbolism in it is meant to intimidate, terrify, and his reputation precedes him. (We also find John frequently gaunt, washed out, and propped up by Death itself.)

Shaw is shrouded in shadows and darkness. She is the unknown and the utterly terrifying because she is little more than a wraith and as intangible as smoke. The only time anyone is sure they’ve encountered her, is at the killing blow. (Shaw spends much of her time intangible both in occupation -as a Catalyst agent, later as a TM refuge, and now with her clear Schrodinger nature.)

Root is the caged animal. She’s pulling at her binds, pressing against the bars, and is just waiting to rip your throat out. Very possibly with her teeth. (Root is raw, savage emotion -frequently rage- as we especially see her currently.)

I love how they each have their own imagery, each terrifying but also tailored to the different personalities: Death, Ghost, and Savage.

In the first thirty minutes, after Samaritan comes online, a lot of people are going to be killed. But they’re gonna start with four: You, me, your helper monkey and Shaw. And there won’t be a damn thing anyone, including your Machine, can do to stop it. You think I don’t care about people, Harold? I’m doing all of this to save you.
