The Crossing

It's like the writers and Creator of this show do not care for law enforcement. It seems like there's an overabundance of cops that are on the take and I think that it puts them in a bad light I don't care for this part of the show.

Fast paced, action packed, amazingly acted and superb thrills. Kevin Chapman at his best. Taraji P Henson at her peak. Every scene unfolds carefully. My favourite episode along with God mode.

My god, I am a bit of an emotional wreck after this episode. The actors playing Fusco, Carter and John were just so fantastic. The story was gripping. I can not wait until Simmons pays a price for his evil!!

I have seen The Crossing twice. Each time, I have been more and more impressed. Unbearable suspense, superbly paced direction, fine camera work, crisp, witty writing, stunning performances from all of the leads and from the villains. It has some of the most exhilarating moments in television history, and one of two or thee most heartbreaking as well. If Kevin Chapman does not get an Emmy for this episode, I will gravely disappointed. If the writers do not, I will be startled. If Taraji Henson does not, I will know the Emmy's are fixed.

I will go further. This was comparable To James Agee's Lincoln (OMNIBUS) Orson Welles' The Fountain of Youth, The greatest episodes of The Twilight Zone and the Honeymooners, Marty, Patterns, The Comedian, Twelve Angry Men, Sam Peckinpah's Noon Wine (And "Line Camp" from The Westerner, , The Fabulous Fifties, the Chief Dan George episode of Kung Fu, "Jose Chung's From Outer Space" and "Postmodern Prometheus" (Kung Fu)My World and Welcome To it, "Fall-out" (The Prisoner) and the best routines of Ernie Kovacs. This episode didn't just PUSH the envelope: It BROKE IT.

Simmons kills the corrupt judge since he believes he is a liability for HR. Then he uses Reese's photo to put a contract on him with all criminals in New York. Carter believes the only way to arrest Quinn is delivering him to the FBI, and they use the subway to go to the federal building in Manhattan. However, HR stops the service and Quinn destroys Reese's cellphone. HR install roadblocks in the two accesses to Manhattan. Reese hijacks an ambulance to cross the Brooklyn Bridge, but Simmons sees blood on the back door and shoots the vehicle. Fusco helps his friends to flee but is captured by Simmons. Finch asks Shaw to help Fusco, but she decides to protect his son. Simmons tortures Fusco with Det. Petersen to know the bank where the evidence is stored but he resists. He sends a cop to kill Fusco's son, but Shaw saves him and tells Fusco that she cannot help him. Meanwhile, Reese and Carter breaks into the city morgue to hide Quinn and wait until the morning to go to the FBI. But HR find them and invade the morgue to kill them with several armed men.

"The Crossing" is one of the best and certainly the saddest episode of "Person of Interest. Carter dying on Reese's arm is very dramatic, and Reese will certainly regret for not killing Simmons when he had the chance in previous episodes. Now the viewer will see how the death of Carter will affect the show, mostly Reese who admired her. The rest of the episode is full of action and twists, and very enjoyable. My vote is ten.
