This felt like an odd Person of Interest episode, and not because there wasn't even a person of interest... unless I guess, maybe you count Kara? I'm assuming that's what Finch was showing viewers at the start of the hour?
Rather, the installment was major storyline heavy, which normally has me excited to further delve into the mysteries behind the characters and even the Machine. You'd think finally bringing Kara into the light to face off with Reese would be intriguing.
But while "Dead Reckoning" served to answer the question of Kara's motives, it really seemed to leave me scratching my head with more questions.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not ever assuming everything will be answered. That would be a boring show. Except Kara came in, ultimately as a pawn in a more powerful non-government cyber focused group, and acted like an unnecessary narrator to Reese and Agent Snow's every move.

Earlier this week American rock band Brand New announced the rarest of UK tours scheduled for early 2012, this marks the end of a two year absence from the British touring circuit for the act and hopefully means a possible fifth album for the Long Island five. As a scarily huge Brand New fan and with them being my favourite band ever (since hearing of them in 2009, yes I’m a late starter I know) I thought it only fitting to bring WhatCulture! readers and the world wide web in general, a brief history of the band and an introduction of sorts to people who have yet to hear this very underrated, unique sound from one of the most private of bands.
The Early Days: (late 90s early 00s)

It was a few days ago that I was talking to my colleague John Nolan about how Harry Potter has been around so long now that we just sorta forget to talk about it when the subject of big blockbusters comes up. Because let's be serious here, no other movie this year is going to come within a whiff of surpassing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt. 2. Not X-men: First Class, not Green Lantern,...

There is a man named John Nolan. He is and animatronics expert and has worked on many movies including a couple of Harry Potters and Where the Wild Things Are. Below is a reel of some of his creations in various stages of development. Here are four thoughts you might have while watching it: 1.) That robot baby looks way too much like a real baby. 2.) Those double butt mouths look way too much like double butt mouths. 3.) When can I get some big robot hands? 4.) Is the guy with the belly an animatronics thing or a weird porn thing I’m not ready for? Thanks, The Daily What.

You might think, what with the prevalence of CGI, that the art of animatronics is dead. But if you saw Your Highness this weekend, you know that they're still alive and well in the form of robotic birds, pervy puppets and big-dicked minotaurs. And now, artist John Nolan, has released a show reel of some of his best animatronics work that gives you a great behind-the-scenes look at the models. Nolan has worked on Hellboy II, Clash Of The Titans, the Harry Potter films, "Doctor...

Taking Back Sunday is back together in an old iteration, but has some new material to share. The Long Island rock troupe posted the new track "El Paso" this week, with an accompanying lyric video, posted below. The clip also calls out many of the band's fans, who had taken to Twitter to request the band get to unveiling some of the new set. The group announced earlier this month they were finished recording and to expect an as-yet-untitled album this summer. TBS's lineup now features vocalist Adam Lazzara, guitarist John Nolan, guitarist Eddie Reyes, bassist Shaun Cooper and drummer Mark...

Many have been very pleased with Christopher Nolan’s takes on Batman, and naturally, many were excited when he was attached to “god-father” the upcoming Superman reboot. Many hoped that meant Jon Nolan would be locked to direct the film, but it ultimately went to Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300, Sucker Punch). While many thought Snyder’s style wouldn’t work for Superman, many breathed easier knowing Nolan would be there to guide Snyder. But it seems now that Nolan will have less impact on the film than most as hoping.
In an interview with Hitfix, producer Emma Thomas revealed that Nolan will be too busy with The Dark Knight Rises, and ”we are handing it off to him,” she said. Thomas also mentions the only reason Nolan was brought on board in the first place was because “Nolan and David Goyer just had an idea they couldn’t believe wasn’t being explored by Warner Bros.

The founding members of cult rockers Taking Back Sunday are planning a reunion just weeks after two current members of the band quit. Bassist Matt Rubano and guitarist Matt Fazzi announced their departure from the band on March 29 and now frontman Adam Lazzara is working on "a crazy idea" to reunite the group's original recording line-up for the first time in seven years.
Lazzara tells Billboard.com he's considering reteaming with guitarist John Nolan and bassist Shaun Cooper after a phone chat with Nolan in January. He says, "It was almost like no time had passed between us... There's something to be said for that feeling. I generally missed his friendship."
The original five-piece regrouped in March for a session that resulted in seven new songs. Lazzara adds, "Every day, when we'd be done playing and just hanging out on the porch or something, we'd all kind of look at...

Warner Bros Records artists Taking Back Sunday have begun work on their fifth studio album. The acclaimed New York rock band has reformed, returning to the original line-up from their 2002 debut Tell All Your Friends, which has sold over one million records worldwide, spawned breakthrough anthem “Cute Without the ‘E’ (Cut from the Team)” and launched the band as one of the most influential of its generation.
Vocalist Adam Lazzara, guitarist Eddie Reyes and drummer Mark O’Connell have reunited with vocalist/guitarist John Nolan and bass player Shaun Cooper, who departed in 2003 after the release of Tell All Your Friends. “This crazy idea came up and once we started exploring it and talking on the phone it was almost like all that time hadn’t passed between us,” explains Lazzara. “Given the history and the years that had passed, I don’t think any of us really...

'There's this excitement and urgency embedded in the songs now,' the frontman says.

Taking Back Sunday's last album was titled New Again, a rather appropriate handle for several reasons, chiefly because they just had replaced singer/guitarist Fred Mascherino with new axeman Matt Fazzi (but also because, over the course of a decade, TBS had shed something like five different members).
So one has to wonder what their next album will be called, because — to the delight of many — they've mended fences with former members John Nolan and Shaun Cooper (and parted ways with Fazzi and bassist Matt Rubano), bringing the band back to their 2002 Tell All Your Friends heyday. Perhaps Old Again?
"Well, having John and Shaun back in the band has nothing to do with any of the old records — it has everything to do with being happy and...

Today's big news was, of course, the announcement that Warner Bros is in fact going ahead with yet another Superman reboot. That's not terribly surprising, as various litigation involving the heirs of Superman creators Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel has made it of paramount importance that Warner Bros gets a new Superman film off the ground by 2011. But what is genuinely shocking is that Chris Nolan has been brought on to apparently 'oversee' the film. He's not (as of yet) directing it, and I'm not even sure at this point that he's producing it, but apparently Warner wants his name on the project in one form or another. And yes, buried in this information is the fact that John Nolan and David Goyer have begun writing a third Batman film. Good for them and...
