[TV} Person of Interest (no significant spoilers) - AllGold - 05-08-2014
Thread here a while ago but after the last episode I had to bring it up.
What really bugs me about the show now is how the idiots from Vigilance, who are likely amateurs with little or no training and experience, consistently get the drop on the elite and highly trained and experienced operatives (John and Shaw not to mention the bad guy agent who does Control's bidding). Only the Vigilance guy in the coffee shop was appropriately incompetent--and we don't even know what his mission was.

Hahaha, exactly.

However, Collier has a friend who tells him where to go and offers all sorts of useful info. They are someone's tool...and we may have to wait for next season to find out whose tool. They are just one step up from militia/vigilante/Red Army type groups...well armed amateurs with very good information.

A man's work is usually only as good as his tool. :emoticon-tv-015:

I always like how Finch (the biggest computer genius in the world) needs to call on Lionel to run a license plate.

Seems like an easy enough hand wave.
Behind the scenes, Anonymous type hackers. Field ops, disaffected, 'This isn't what we fought for, now we're fighting back' ex military types. Given the reach of the net and social media, both top level and dark net, doesn't strike me as totally implausible that a smart, truly determined individual couldn't whip up a formidable militia in the space of a few years.
In a world of two shot double knee capping, that scenario of that sort works fine for me.

I've always thought it's akin to having a little kid 'help out' preparing a holiday dinner.

Heh. That DOES make sense.

I'm loving this show. I think that the machine is behind Vigilance.

I'm watching Fargo instead.
