Person of Interest Season 5 Spoilers: Will Jim Caviezel, Michael Emerson See Machine "Bleed?"

Season 5 of Person of Interest will return to CBS in 2016. In the upcoming 13 episode run, are Harold Finch (Michael Emerson) and John Reese (Jim Caviezel) in "a bad place" as they try to revive The Machine as it "bleeds" from Samaritan's attacks?

In our fourth season finale recap, the war between the Machine and Samaritan left casualties and forged new alliances in its wake. After presumed dead, Sameen Shaw (Sarah Shahi) was last seen walking away willingly with Samaritan's agents. While Samaritan was executing its master plan, Greer's men put a bag over Control (Camryn Manheim)'s head and took her hostage. In the cliff-hanger, as Pink Floyd's Welcome to the Machine started playing, Finch walked out, with no gun, alongside Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Root (Amy Acker) as they started shooting down Samaritan's agents.

As we mentioned before, a brand new scene was presented during the POI panel at the recent New York Comic Con. This funny-as-hell clip is actually a light-hearted take, featuring all kinds of inside jokes among the cast. Watch Finch attempt to relaunch the Machine for a test run in the sizzle reel.

According to IGN, Emerson reveals Finch will struggle in his relationship with the Machine, "Mr. Finch is in a bad place. He's been trying to keep [their relationship] a non-personal one. It's a tool that he can use for good, which he doesn't have strong feelings about, which we see bleeding through all this parental passion and care because the Machine is approaching a kind of personhood. It's the most important entity in Mr. Finch's life."

In our MStars News interview, the co-showrunner revealed what he wanted audiences to come away with the series, " I would love it for people, and whether it's young people or older folks I don't really care, to be that show where if you missed it the first time around, it was the show that someone said, "Do I need to be watching that?" People say, "Yes." And they have an opportunity now to see it and say, "That show was sneaky good and you missed it." Now you can see it."

Readers, are you excited for Season 5 of POI?
