Airing Thursdays @ 9:00 on CBS

The government has a secret system: a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I know because I built it. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror, but it sees everything. Violent crimes involving ordinary people, people like you. Crimes the government considered irrelevant. They wouldn't act, so I decided I would. But I needed a partner, someone with the skills to intervene. Hunted by the authorities, we work in secret. You'll never find us, but victim or perpetrator, if your number's up...we'll find you.

John Reese (Jim Caviezal) - A burned out former soldier and CIA operative given a second chance to help people by Harold Finch.

Harold Finch (Michael Emmerson) - A mysterious billionaire, Finch created "The Machine", a massive surveillance system capable of predicting crime. Crippled by an unknown past injury and thought dead to the world, Finch searched for someone to help him save people determined as "irrelevant" by the Machine, settling on John Reese.

Joss Carter (Taraji Henson) - A homicide detective with a past in the Army, Carter is obsessed with searching for The Man in the Suit. Eventually discovering the truth about Reese and Finch's intentions, she joins them in their vigilante endeavors.

Lionel Fusco (Kevin Chapman) - A formerly corrupt NYPD detective, Lionel Fusco was gang-pressed (blackmailed) into service by Reese. While initially resistant to his new assignment, Fusco found it as a chance to once again become a good cop.

Rules! Any episode from Season 1 does not need to be spoiler tagged. If an episode has aired on the East Coast, it does not need to be spoiler-tagged (Us West Coast people should know better). Rumors (Casting/Storyline) should be tagged, just to be on the safe side. Speculation based on episodes already having aired does not need to be tagged. We good? Also, Fusco deserved a banner after getting shot in the ass.

THANKS TO GILA FOR THE GIFS! How else could we show how badass Reese is?

 

[Cipherr]

So did this show pick up and get really good? I caught a bit of the very first episode, but I didnt stick with it.

It became fucking amazing. One of the best shows on tv. Check out the first season, dude. It's great.

 

[Rokam]

My knees are ready!

 

[alba]

I cannot wait, one of my favorite show on tv and best new show yet!

 

[Piecake]

This was definitely one of my most pleasant surprises of last season (dont expect anythign good out of CBS usually)

 

[Leeness]

I'm so excited. I have been watching it constantly the last two weeks so my life is empty right now. COME BACK.

And save Finch ASAP ;o;

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Are we taking bets on how many times Reese shoots someone in the knee this season?

I lost count in Season 1.

 

[Gila]

Nicely done dude.

Can't wait for more of that Ben & Jesus

 

[Clevinger]

Just think of how many people Reese has crippled so far.

 

[BatDan]

I am so ready for this. *talks to suspicious red light outside my window* Bring it on!

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Just think of how many people Reese has crippled so far.

Enough that an urban legend has formed around the man who keeps shooting people in the leg.

 

[Nobility]

Great OT!

Time for Reese to put criminals in crutches yet again.

I am so excited for Thursday, will watch the last few episodes tomorrow to hype myself even further.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

ONE MORE DAY, GUYS! ONE MORE DAY!

 

[DMczaf]

What happens when there are no more knees left in NYC?

 

[Nemesis_]

I might need to get into Season 1. I have heard delicious things.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

What happens when there are no more knees left in NYC?

And then we take the elbows. And then the shins. Followed by collar bones.

I might need to get into Season 1. I have heard delicious things.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT. One of the best shows on TV.

 

[Enco]

:lol great title.

I'm pumped.

 

[Dilly]

Certainly, I liked the first episodes but they felt kind of stand alone, yet they were solid television.

But it just keeps on picking up steam throughout the season.

 

[Nemesis_]

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT. One of the best shows on TV.

Continual story? Do I need to watch S1 for S2?

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Continual story? Do I need to watch S1 for S2?

Yes. Start with Season 1, I urge you. You can probably catch up, but it's better to start from Season 1 episode 1 and watch all of it before starting Season 2. There are continous narrative strands that are gonna pop up in Season 2 that started in Season 1, plus there's the cliffhanger in the finale that will be dealt with in the season premiere of S2.

Go check out Season 1, you won't regret it. It's great, damn solid television.

 

[Lonestar]

Not For The Weak-Kneed

YES, thanks for using my suggestion!

CAN'T WAIT

Now we have Season 3's OT Title.

 

[Lonestar]

I'm sure we can work out more Knee puns over the next few months ;P


Oh, and my favorite bit of original music from Season 1: Music from the last scene of Season 1.

F it, time to find and compile favorite Season 1 scenes
When Mr. Reese tells you to slow down, you slow down
Hello there, UNKLE, have we met before?
GARBAGE DAY!
One of the 1st Mysteries, and better endings of the show. Hint: MEXICAN PRISONS R US
Oh the subject of Mexican Prisons, MEXICAN PRISONS!
One Wild and Crazy Elevator Ride
Oh Snap, it's that guy again
Perfect Use of a David Bowie song
Easily the funniest scene in the show
Finally (cause I'm wasting alot of time!) The "Whaaaaaaa" at the end of Season 1

 

[whatsinaname]

Knees shall be damaged if the cliffhanger is not resolved in the first episode. Cannot wait for the season to start!

Spoiler

Though the machine v Reese interaction could be fun for a bit

 

[Insane Metal]

Damn, I can't wait! Loved season 1!

 

[Nobility]

Tomorrow!

Knee goodness!!!

I am in 100% hype mode, if S2 can go strong, I believe that everyone will watch this. There were so many new (and good) shows last season, more people need to take notice of POI.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Awesome OT great OP !

Can not wait for this to start again!

 

[Mister0079]

Mad hype.

[chickdigger802]

borrowing season 1 from a friend.

the transition from hobo to swag bauer was weird, but everything else is fun.

Not the best show around, but still good action stuff on tv.

gives me human target vibe. sigh*

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Well done.

 

[DieH@rd]

S2 is upon us! If they manage to surpass this moment, then series will trully become magnificent.

I remember this is what sold me on the show.

Easily my favorite part of S1. There weren't enough character moments like that.

 

[zroid]

Thursdays gon' be cray

 

[Leeness]

I'm so excited!

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

That was gold. Loved that so much.

Oh man, probably one of the single best endings to any procedural show I've seen. That was fantastic.

Oh man, probably one of the single best endings to any procedural show I've seen. That was fantastic.

until that moment I was like "yeah solid show, I like michael emerson, so maybe I'll stick with it for another few episodes" but that ending convinced me that this show was better than the common procedural show

 

[Decado]

So did this show pick up and get really good? I caught a bit of the very first episode, but I didnt stick with it.

Not particularly. It never rises above being one of those easy-to-watch background shows. I'm just about finished the first season and I've stopped giving it my full attention while it's on. I guess you could consider it top tier for a major network show...but that backhanded compliment is about the best it deserves, IMO.

I disagree, each case is fantastic and the show builds a fantastic set of secondary and tertiary characters with their own mysteries while building an interesting backgroundstory.

Lols @ Reese's realization that the Machine Don't Care.

He's moved on from Knees, though.
