AMY ACKER TAKES “ROOT” AS A SERIES REGULAR IN SEASON THREE OF Person
Of Interest
EXEC. PRODUCERS NOLAN & PLAGEMAN RELEASE NEW SEASON INTEL AT
COMIC-CON!
POI Fans May Find Their Face in Upcoming Episodes via a New
Social Photo Opportunity Launching for Season 3
BURBANK, Calif. (July 20, 2013) — With the Machine gone missing and
cybervillain Root on the loose at the end of season two, it’s becoming
increasingly difficult to get decent intel on Person Of Interest,
which returns for a third season September 24 on a new day and time:
Tuesdays at 10/9c on CBS. Fortunately, fans of the hit surveillance
drama from Warner Bros. Television and J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot
Productions were given the inside track by executive producers
Jonathan Nolan and Greg Plageman today at the show’s packed Comic-Con
panel.
Details on the breaking news below:
ACKER TAKES ROOT
The minds behind the Machine (Nolan & Plageman) announced that
fan-favorite recurring guest star Amy Acker has been promoted to
series regular for the upcoming third season, starring as Root, the
Machiavellian cyber-hacker.
First introduced in season one as a foil for Finch and last seen in a
mental institution, the conflicted cyber-terrorist Root will stop at
nothing to find the Machine and set it free.
Acker previously appeared in J.J. Abrams’ Alias and Joss Whedon’s
Angel, and she stars in Whedon’s acclaimed feature film Much Ado About
Nothing.
WANT TO BECOME THE NEXT “Person Of Interest”?
Nolan and Plageman also hinted that fans should keep an eye on the
Person Of Interest Facebook page in the coming weeks. Here’s why:
Warner Bros. Television and CBS are launching the Person Of Interest
Social Photo Opportunity, which will give the show’s fans on Facebook
the ability to submit photos for a chance to become a “person of
interest” at some point during season three.
Currently in development and expected to launch prior to the debut of
season three, the POI Social Photo Opportunity will allow fans to
submit personal photos through Facebook, with the possibility of their
image being included in the show during an upcoming episode.
For more information on the chance to become a “person of interest,”
fans should “Like” the Person of Interest Facebook page at
www.facebook.com/PersonOfInterestCBS and stay tuned for details —
which will be released in the coming weeks — on when and how to submit
images.
When the POI Social Photo Opportunity Facebook app launches, fans will
then be able to submit an image from their own Facebook account, add
effects and then upload it to a database. POI producers will then
select photos for use during upcoming episodes of the show, with new
images appearing throughout the entire third season. Photos could
appear at any time … in any place … in any episode.
The first two seasons of Person of Interest are available now for
digital download (in standard and high definition) through all online
retailers, including iTunes and Amazon Instant Video. Additionally,
the complete second season of Person of Interest will be available on
Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and DVD on September 3, 2013.

Being locked away in a mental institution is hardly "on the loose".

WHAT's UP WITH THAT? Is the show implying elements within the USG are dealing drugs to keep Americans safe from terrorists?

I never thought it was much of a secret...having heard of this since the
Viet Nam war era. The CIA is infamous for secretly self funding. They even
have a simple (though questionable...certainly in a "free, democratic"
society) justification...secrecy itself. Since any citizen can run for
office...and ultimately make the halls of congress who fund the CIA...it is
logical in some estimations that they would not want to disclose their
covert ops to just anyone. And yes... I know...even members of congress get
"vetted" and must obtain security clearance...but... So how do you fund
them without reading too many folks in? By covertly (and by definition
ILLEGALLY) raising that money without congressional approval or knowledge.
A dilemma to say the least. Once the door is open to "illegal" (see the
Whitey Bulger story) all legal lines get blurred.

The movement of the POI machine may be a metaphor for this reality of the surveillance machinery.
