Season 2 of Person of Interest has now finished over here. I'm really quite sad - not because of the ending but because there will be no more until some time early next year. It was one of the few things that I looked forward to watching, even if it did mean not getting to bed till after midnight for the last few weeks, because Channel 5 had decided to show two episodes back to back. Yes, I know I could have watched the second episode on catch up the next day, but that wouldn't have been the same.

I love the dynamic between Finch and Reese. I can ship them, but, as with most pairings I like, I don't have to ship them. They both bring their own strengths to the work and have their own emotional baggage. Bear has been a brilliant addition - and has had his own part to play. And the supporting characters are such a lovely mixed bag, with complex characters and unpredictable reactions.

And for me the plots have been great. Just when I've thought that I know where the story is going in an episode it heads off in an entirely different - and much better - direction. And if a plot doesn't work for me, unless I am really invested in the characters, my commitment will waver very quickly.

Which brings me to the same question I considered with Almost Human: do I read/write fanfic? I read and very much enjoy the stories that

draycevixen writes, but as yet I have had no wish to read others, although I'm open to recommendations. As to writing - trying to set anything convincingly in the States I find daunting - I have no feel for the location and I'm only too aware of the pitfalls of writing something I have no knowledge of. There are occasional prompts in

comment_fic which I enjoy filling with drabbles (sorry DV, these do tend to be yours) but I suspect that this will be the extent of my writing. Unless I produce a PoI/Lewis crossover.
