“I
know what the fans want; I think it’s important to give the fans what
they want, because I feel like they’ve been down that Root and Shaw
journey for so long,” Shahi acknowledged. “They got a kiss last year,
which is good. We’ll see what this year brings. I love working with Amy.
She and I feel very mutually about each other, so I hope we get to
flirt with that dynamic.”From here on out, Person of Interest should be held up as an example anytime some other show’s producers claim they cannot get their two female leads together in a romantic relationship because………uh, reasons. It can be done. Person of Interest is doing it. Openly, without apology or self-aggrandizing fanfare, but rather with a simple shrug as if to say, “Yeah. Why wouldn’t we? It makes sense, improves the show, and our two actresses have ‘pinch me, I’m dreaming’ kind of chemistry.”

“What’s with you and your poor listening skills?”
the thing is she lets all the words shaw say to her go in one ear and out the other because root knows that the words shaw says to her hold no meaning instead root watches what shaw does her facial expressions the way she moves her smirks her sighs root’s in tune with all of that knows when to push and knows when to back off without shaw having to use her words so yeah maybe she’s bad at listening shaw but that’s only because she’s too busy watching you and really that’s all that really matters to you right?

#Root#begging her god#to save her in the first one#and to help her#save Shaw in the second#and the fact that TM#grants her first wish#and not her second#must’ve killed her#Harold looks pretty resigned#and so very tired#Harold technically says ‘please’ a lot#he says it like people throw out#‘how are you?’#or ‘you’re welcome’#or other commonly used automatic phrases#he’ll use it as a weapon#in situations where he thinks it might be appropriate#but look at Root putting#every fiber of her being#into this one word#she’s truly desperate here#the first because she can’t bear the physical pain#and the second because she can’t bear the emotional pain#and I’m going to bet#that the second hurts her#a million times more than the first

ladies of interest challenge: sameen shaw — listen.
#this is probably my favourite thing about Shaw in relation to Root#in my head Root is a Cassandra-like prophet#and again and again we see Harold not listening to what she says#and then everyone suffering the consequences#but Shaw ~listens#every single time#she scoffs and rolls her eyes and grunts and acts as if she doesn’t care#but never once has she failed to listen to Root#and I think that’s both intensely beautiful#and crucial to the development of Root’s feelings (via ohthesefeelingz)

it’s absolutely part of why root fell so hard for shaw. entirely on accident. she sought vengeance for hanna for over a decade because nobody listened to her. so when shaw comes along and grumbles at root’s over the top flirting to mess with her. but listens so well to everything root says. root never even stood a chance. root x shaw. these two idiots are perfect for each other.
One thing that I really like about Shaw/Root, is that Shaw isn’t really that affected by Root when Root is actively obviously trying to flirt and get a rise out of her. Shaw is however very affected when Root is just being Root.
This woman has tasered me, zip-tied me to a chair, and is now threatening me with an iron. I think I like her this is the perfect time to flirt.
Root wants to just take out the Bad Guys real quick, grabs two guns, and Shaw is all ‘That was kinda hot.’
The Machine tells Root to grab a dead guys keys, Root’s all ‘Okay, no big, you got it boss,’ and Shaw’s reaction is basically ‘She’s hilarious and adorable, and that was awesome.’
