"Court is in session."
There was way more stuff going on in "A House Divided" than I could have anticipated. A lot of moving parts, all exciting and great. But my favorite part was how it re-branded Vigilance as a formidable and tragically noble force. For most of Season 3, they've been the perennial party crashers. The second group brought in during various tense situations involving either HR or Decima. The guys who make bad situations worse. But here, they ascended.
And the ending totally threw me for a loop in an amazing way. It's hard to not watch Person of Interest and feel Jonathan Nolan's contributions to the Dark Knight Trilogy nestled within its themes and style. But the crazy mock courtroom that Collier had set up right at the end totally felt like something a deranged Batman villain would do. Like Two-Face, if we want to keep things within the "prosecuting attorney" umbrella. But Joker wouldn't be above the theatrics of a live trial either. He'd just probably have to be the judge. And if we want to draw a direct connection to The Dark Knight Rises' "Jonathan Crane-as-judge" scenario, we certainly can as well.
