I think I'm beginning to feel that this is what's going on.

It could be. I'm fairly confident the machine does not track every single murder plot in NYC though, last year there were 414 murders in NYC a record low some of those obviously aren't planned murders but it makes sense that the machine has additional filters in place.

But the Machine is supposed to detect acts of terrorism, what difference would it make if blocked government people? This is an organization that knows a lot of things, so I don't think this would be simply kidnapping the mayor, but kidnapping the president would now be ridiculous.
It's so great that I have no idea what will happen.

I just looked up the same thing. :lol
hell, I'd also say the conspiring to plant evidence to put a good cop in jail might have (usually) been enough to get his number to show up. The Machine should have been able to pick that up. Should also have picked up Simmons sinister comments on the phone to the Russian. It's powerful enough to read voice inflection and body language.
Also, it's apparent the gang stays busy, with just the New York area. They're weirded out by "3 days of silence"

It's not about "picking up things the government is doing". It's not picking up threats ON Government people. Potentially could mean to have a terrorist act on something in the Government.

Most murders aren't premeditated and even those that are rarely are planned enough to give machine enough info or enough time to react.

I read this wrong at first, but you're agreeing with me in a way. In stead of a filter you surmise it to a lack of information

It'd fit with the embedded codes. Perhaps by filtering out all government targets, Greer's people can eliminate their targets with impunity and no one will be able to prevent it before whatever they're planning activates.
I wonder how far in advance the Machine can do its thing. I mean, Donnelly's number was given seconds before he was attacked and killed.
Probably not seconds, but less than 30 minutes or so. Finch was out on the street, making his way to John and Carter, if I'm not mistaken, when he got the pay phone call. Had to walk back to base to decipher the SSN.
Also, it's not just murder that the machine picks up. There's been cases of Kidnapping as well.

Well, Finch does just say it's essentially generic "violent crimes". We had the crazy stalker in the 'Super' episode. Was he planning on killing her?
Oh no, I forgot. The super was gonna kill the stalker.

Is it just me or was Lou possibly the only likeable character in the season 2? Other people they had to save were not important/not memorable at all.
BTW, the machine is designed to detect any malicious attempts on another human being.

I liked Logan Pierce and Shaw. Both popped up as numbers, I ended up liking them. Who else in S2 was good... the maid in Booked Solid was alright. There was the suburban bank robber and the gorgeous daughter of a Brazilian diplomat.
Edit: Oh, and Leon! Leon's awesome. Love Leon.
Been following this thread from the background, since I've always been a week or two behind.. this post was fantastic!So I was enjoying this episode and then my spider sense went off when I heard the secretary. I was like:
Then she started walking in
The camera panned up to reveal her. I was like
Then the episode ended...so I tried to fast forward time by speeding up the earth
I failed
Great episode! This show continues to leave me wanting more and NEVER lets me down.
I'm now caught up..what a fantastic show! 'Relevance' was probably one of the best episodes of any show that I can remember. I can't wait for Jon Nolan to do some more directing.

That post still makes me laugh. That guy needs to do more of these posts.
Yes, I love episodes with Leon in it. And Bear always shares a scene with Leon for the running gag
Yes! It's adorable. He went from being pissed at Bear about the bearer bonds to just... just accepting all the love.

Last weeks episode was awesome.

No episode this week sucks hard.
Yeah, another three week wait.
Good thing I didn't burn through my S1 DVDs too fast. At least I can watch those in the meantime.
Long wait til April really sucks! Thankfully I have been listening to the podcast and rewatching what I have to get my fix. I generally never do that with a show.
Yeah pretty weak. It's a shame that they have one of the best episodes in the series (the Shaw one), followed by 2 episodes in a month. Kind of kills momentum, and is probably lame for people who might've just started watching at that point.

Yep.
lucky this is the only show that is always worth the wait.

The problem with this show's title is when you type into Google to see if there's any news about it (like upcoming casting and what not), you also get a ton of sites where police are searching for 'persons of interest' in multiple homicide cases. It actually gets kinda depressing.
Episode 22 of this season will be titled

That seems incredibly ominous.

Was looking up Warehouse 13 info and saw that Allison Scagliotti is on PoI on the 25th

Ok, first off, Warehouse 13 is pretty awesome.
Secondly, yes, I agree. I hope she doesn't play a sarcastic hacker though. I don't want her to be typecast.
If there are any positives to the March Madness break, it's that the writers can take their time to creatively plot the episodes leading into the season finale.
You're right, those titles appear daunting and highly "relevant."
Kara said it best, "Never were one for the bigger picture, were you John?"
Can't wait!

Nolan and Ubisoft need to team up and make a game using the Watch_Dogs engine.
The main story will involve plot lines from the show. HR, Elias, Root, etc. While Finch will call in and supply a number for one of many side missions.
Also, knee-cap shooting would be highly encouraged.
Interesting, as it's the same trailer as the ps4 event trailer, but broken down like an analyst, and with different angles.
Can't wait, though I'm slightly worried about this "released on 2 different generations of consoles.". Hope as a ubisoft game, it gets a pc release.

Not only has it been confirmed for PC, but it's their lead platform. I'm sure it'll be be time delayed for their usual piracy paranoia, but with the architecture change in PS4 it's easier to make the PC version and port it to both next gen consoles rather then doing it the other way around. Current gen ports will be separate. I still expect a lot of design compromises to make it eventually work on current gen though.

Campaign manager, I think.
Chief of Staff for the Mayor.

It was just a formality, but Person of Interest was officially renewed today along with damn near every other CBS show.

Everything from the beginning in order.
But seriously, PoI isn't the kind of show where I would skip a few episodes. Watch everything (so you don't miss out on all the awesome scenes with John).
My choices would be:
Foe (Season 1 episode 8)
Witness (Season 1 episode 7)
Proteus (Season 2 episode 17)
One Percent (Season 2 episode 14)
Til Death (Season 2 episode 8)
Many Happy Returns (Season 1 episode 21)
Maybe some other episodes, but those are some of the more memorable ones for me, that lie (mostly) outside the Serialized portions of the show.
