Always Watching V: Person of Interest – Judgment

Tonight, let me take a deep dive into Season 1’s fifth episode of Person of Interest, “Judgment,” where a tough, by-the-book judge is the next number John Reese and Harold Finch have to protect, and Detective Joss Carter has suspicions about her new partner, Detective Lionel Fusco.

Spoiler warning: This post contains major plot spoilers of the fourth episode of Person of Interest (Season 1), “Judgment.” If you haven’t watched it, please do so first before reading my analysis.

Song of the Moment XLI: Teri DeSario’s “Fallin'”

One of the things I loved to do as a child was listen to the radio before going to sleep. One of the songs that really stuck with me was “Fallin'” by Teri DeSario, a song that deals with falling in love and having second thoughts about it.

Of course, when I heard “Fallin'” as a kid, I had no clue what love was. I don’t even have a crush at school at that time. But Ms. DeSario’s soft singing and the perfectly mellow instrumentals stuck in my mind and heart and I didn’t need to fall in love to appreciate the song. And when I did fall in love a few times, I went back to listening to “Fallin'”, making the song more relevant in my life than ever.

But since Thursday, I have been listening to Teri DeSario’s “Fallin” for a different reason. And that’s…

Facing/Avoiding

The brain tells to avoid
And the universe reminds
My mind is being toyed
The nth time that I resigned

What if I take action
Because we live only once
Or prep for extraction
So I’ll not look like a dunce

One more heavy deep breath
Should I stay or should I go
Doubt creeping like he’s Death
Final decision is no

The brain tells to avoid
And the universe reminds
Indecision, destroyed
The action I leave behind
