Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe episode's title, "B.S.O.D", is another computer-referenced title. The meaning is "Blue Screen of Death" - a condition in which a blue screen appears on a Windows computer after it has crashed, because of an error where the system detects that it can't operate safely. This relates to the risky safety state that The Machine was in where things ended in the season 4 finale.
- GoofsLeaving a voicemail, Fusco's term "nuclear fustercluck" is redubbed "nuclear fakakta" by order of the network. The original line survived in the promo.
- Quotes
[first lines]
[black screen, a telephone bell rings twice]
Root: [beep] If you can hear this, you're alone. The only thing left of us is the sound of my voice.
[fade into the abandoned subway station base of operations]
Root: I don't know if any of us made it. Did we win? Did we lose? I don't know. I'm not even sure I even know what victory would mean anymore.
[reabandoned, camera turning to show scorch marks and small debris on the floor, an absence of any furniture, and the train no longer there, a brick wall destroyed exposing an empty tunnel]
Root: But either way, it's over. So let me tell you who we were. Let me tell you who *you* are... and how we fought back.

"B. S. O. D." is the first episode of the Fifth Season of "Person of Interest", with a perfect sequel of the finale of the "Fourth Season". Finch, Reese and Root are on the run in the beginning and trying to bring The Machine back on the end. The flashbacks of Finch developing the artificial intelligence and limiting it is also great. My vote is ten.
Title (Brazil): "B. S. O. D"
