It's a pity, there are only few Person Of Interest fans on this thread.

The latest episode was dark, captivating and emotional. reminds one of "If Then Else".

it was a reminder the show's coming to an end and there's little we can do about it..

The best scifi show i watched.....PoI

Current girl friend is an atheist, A popular one here on Nairaland at that... I'm a lucky bastard grin

For my kids i intend to raise them free, they won't be atheists or theists, rather maintain that default stance we all have from birth which is Pure agnosticism.

When they grow to the age of reason they can develop their own ideas not feed them my own ideas
is it free-cocoa?

Season 1-4 was good no doubt. But from season 5 upwards became really boring...
You're damn right!!!

there were few flashes of what we love in S5 but it was clear, the show was depereciating.

i recently watched an episode from the current season (S9), it was so ridiculous, i thought they changed the cast.

i mean, sheldon's now annoying, leonard ugly, penny completely useless and Raj? what can i say. how d hell do they earn 1 million/episode.

that thing should be scrapped before the show's producers are openly disgraced. this was a show so good in it's early seasons

season 2 was perfect
S1, 3, 4 were just as perfect. i still rewatch those up till now

Seriously? They force references? - When Louis Litt told Harold he woulda left his cat with Michael Vick(Quarterback for Pittsburgh steelers) for better babysitting, was that a forced reference?.
•That line was hilarious because that's like telling someone you woulda left your one year old kid with Casey Anthony for better babysitting. The antithesis made it funny.

Unless you didn't fully get the humor in the references, nothing seems forced to me. The metaphors/paraphors are on steroids!

You know why most people won't get it? Because it's usually laced in subtle fashion. You'd have to listen attentively & be well-rounded in music, movies, science, Art, current affairs etc to able to really get them

Lemme give you some allusions of the ingenuity of the covert double-entendres.

Scottie: You really are a dick
Louis: I'm Moby goddamn dick and you just swarm in my waters.

Moby dick = a novel by Herman Melville
Moby dick = a whale
Waters = Sperm
Swarm in my waters = Sperms swim towards a woman's ovary to penetrate an egg/It also means Scottie just caught the Hail Mary shot Louis threw at her.
There's also a a toothed whale known as sperm whale(common cachalot)

Now tell me that reference and wordplay up there wasn't sick grin

Check this one out -

Harvey: I paid because I wanted you to stay. I did it as a romantic gesture
Scottie: Well, Pretty woman may have been a romantic movie, but Julie Roberts was still a hooker.

I liked that particular reference because I stole a ''Pretty Woman" video cassette from my uncle's movie shelf to go watch in my grandmother's place in 2002 grin

Abeg. Suits officially has its foot up the àsses of two bïtches known as Metaphors and Personifications.
nice to see someone who loves Suits like I do.

Howdy bro.

the only series I could probably rate higher is GoT

I watched a lot of tv series this year but I will say I enjoyed the series I watched in 2014 more than this year.
I watch a lot of Korean and American tv series, in which empress ki, Queen seondeok , The killing and sense 8 were the best I watched from both countries. I won't go without mentioning two drama episodes that make me go crazy; mother mercy(GOT) and if then else(POI), i have watched these two episode more than 100 times.
Lastly, I hope 2016 will be better than 2015.....
If-then-else is the greatest episode I have ever seen. Even better than Ozymandiaz....

So wonderfully made its greatness cannot be measured

Foreign AffairsRe: Turkey Shoots Down Russian Jet Near Syrian Border by GregJo: 11:59pm On Nov 24, 2015
In chess, it’s a common, though beginner’s trick to lure an opponent into an easy victory over a pawn in order to get them to expose themselves to a more serious attack. Turkey is most definitely just a pawn in the greater Israel/mackinder great game strategy. One can consider Israel is the king, the USA, the queen (fitting) and the rest of ZPC/ NWO major power brokers as bishops, rooks and Knights. The Russians won’t be interested in taking this pawn, they are taking the long view and working towards checkmate.

Please, let's discuss issues, without attaching "jealousy" to it. Nobody is jealous of Tinubu here. We are all young people, no one is a politician here, and we're not involved in the power tussle.

Everyone here is trying to discuss what's wrong with Yorubaland and the way forward. Post what you think and leave accusations out of it. Only folks who're grasping at straws with no argument always pull out unnecessary things.

Yorubaland needs help and that's what we should focus on.
Spot on!

I long for another Awo and his era but I must constantly bring myself back to the earth and admit the truth that men of that hue are no more. Even though distant uncles of mine like late senator Akinboro told us after the devil, Awo was next in line, Awo will always be the father of modern Yoruba nation. The truth is that every human has a dark side including you and I.

I remember when democracy started and the Yoruba nation was to be compensated for Abiola's death, we all queued behind Falae because he approximated closest to what we could manage than OBJ but he too had to get down into the mire to outsmart an renowned disciple of Awo in Bola Ige through the committee of 23 'wisemen who voted 14 to 9 against Ige. For those familiar with that episode, they'll admit Falae also did a Tinubu to beat Ige. Falae lost to OBJ who had/has no regard for Yoruba nationalism and it showed in the way he bamboozled his way through the SW in 2003. Only Tinubu survived the onslaught because he utilised the same system we villify him for today and its ironic that the same ebora had to rely on Tinubu's platform to get one over GEJ, his godson.

However, how do we think Tinubu could have provided a platform for us to even have a chance to negotiate if he didn't get deep into the dirt and murky waters of current Nigerian politics? I like Osinbajo and I believe he'll make a fine leader (he's even an Awo by marriage wink ), but I can assure you he wouldn't win councillorship against a bus conductor in Lagos without borrowing some leaf from Tinubu's book of political wisdom.

Politics in Nigeria has left the era of Awo, Azikiwe, Sardauna, Rewane, Aminu kano etc. I dare say that a George Washington will also find it not easy to win an election in the USA today cool

Tinubu isn't a saint. Tinubu should do better. Tinubu isn't Awo and can never be. That much is very obvious. However, things are a lot different than Awo's time. Why, I'm even posting this on my phone while lying on my bed and you'll read it instantly though you're thousands of miles away. That is enough to tell you that the times have changed and a whole lot changed with it. Not least the politics grin

A lot of us long for our pastors to cut down on their greed yet we've refused to stop going to church. We simply pitched our tent where we believe things are still a bit sane. Its the same with our politics. We have to choose whom we feel is the lesser devil.

While the jungle was dark and threatening, Tinubu was the only one bold enough to stand. Who else then to lead the charge?

I might have spoken from a very narrowed vision of Yoruba politicians but pls don't blame me too much. Compared to the politicians that dictate things around me here in the Niger Delta, Tinubu qualifies for beatification.

My rants or whatever are over jare. I don't even know if it if it makes sense angry
