"Person of Interest" Season 5, episode 13 spoilers roundup
In an interview with TVLine, Michael Emerson talked about the finale and the body count in the episode.
"You have to have casualties to give it gravity. That's the only way that writers can say that these things have consequences, that these decisions have cost. To tell you the truth, I'm not sure who's left standing, unitl I see it [Tuesday] night. But I'm always the one that has a bunch of questions after I see a finished episode, like, "Is that what that means?" Sometimes I have to replay them just to make sure that I'm getting what they're putting out there!" Emerson said.
He added that he acted in the shots, but things change as music is added.
"I had read the [series finale] script of course and acted in the scenes, but things change a little bit when they get cut and music is added, and they highlight the things they want highlighted and bury the things they want buried. That's one of the interesting aspects of the job and one of the reasons why I always watch the finished episodes."
After Root's death, things changed for Finch and the last few episodes were quite dark. Meanwhile, Emerson was also asked if he would do another season of "Person of Interest."
"If they said to me, 'We want Person of Interest to keep going but we're only going to do 10 or 12 [episodes],' I'd say, 'Sign me up.' But I can't do 22 again. I think people always expect me to be broken up about things coming to an end, but we were so tired in December, I couldn't even have imagined coming back after the new year and shooting more," Emerson stated via Cinema Blend.
