I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le deluge, after me comes the flood

Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood
Après moi, le deluge, after me, flood

Февраль. Достать чернил и плакать.
Писать о феврале навзрыд.
Пока грохочущая слякоть
Весною чёрною горит.

I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, It's not my choice

I must go on stan-stan-ding-ding
You can't, can't break that, that
Which isn't, isn't yours, yours
I'm not, not my own, own
It's not, not my choice, choice

Hello!

I totally randomly came across this and I don't even watch this show but!! That was Sarah Shahi, making all the Dani Reese faces (I was a HUGE fan of Life) and... and... I thought Person of Interest was a Two White Guys show (generally something I'm not much interested in) but maybe I was mistaken?? This is a terrific vid, full of drama and emotion and I want to know more about this character immediately. You might have just pimped me into the show. :)

Life is one of my favorite shows. I wish it would have lasted longer. Sarah Shahi's character on Person of Interest, Samantha Shaw, shares a lot of traits with her Dani Reese character. There's a lot of differences as well, but I can't think of a character Sarah Shahi has played that I didn't enjoy. I think she's terrific as Shaw.

Person of Interest is basically a sausage-fest of two white dudes that are slashed together. There's only one female member of the regular cast (Taraji P. Henson as Det. Joss Carter), but Sarah Shahi was added to the regular cast for the upcoming season three. There are episodes that feature a more well-rounded cast of characters. This vid was made from just 2x16, which centered around Shaw. Her character recurred in a couple other episodes and in the last two of season two along with Amy Acker as Root, another very interesting addition. If I were granted one wish, it'd probably be for Shaw and Root to have their own show together.

Thank you! I totally recommend watching 2x16 because it works as an outsider POV and while it works on knowledge of the rest of the show, it centers around non-regular cast members, so there's not any lacking character background.
