I love this photo. It kinda threw when I saw it for the first time and I still find it interesting that Joss’ back is turned to us and we just see the reflection of her face.I am speculating, her position in the photo is symbolic of her getting more “involved” with them and a little dirtier in…
I am just so thankful they put her in her WORK CLOTHES and they did not sexualize her. I hated that photoshoot for People I think it was. Where she was in a purple dress and they made her turn to show off her ass and breasts. I was so mad.
Official series photo shoots and magazine photo shoots are different entities and can’t really be compared. TV GUIDE editors decided on the cover photo and styling for Taraji P. Henson.
Official promotional photos for POI are decided by the show’s production company and executive producers.

Sorry, what I meant that I am fine with it, even though I know that others may want to see the magazine to show Carter “in character”. Over the last year, I think Taraji P. Henson and Kerry Washington have been the only two black actresses on the cover of TV GUIDE.
Like I said, I know that others prefer “in character” photoshoots.

The difference is that was a TV GUIDE photoshoot, and the magazine’s photography director and editor decide on what the covershoot will look. MOST covershots are like that. The Person of Interest producers have no real say in that. TV Guide and other magazine’s main goal is to sell copies, not necessarily what’s in character. Sex sells.
The DVD covershoot is an OFFICIAL one that Warner Bros and the show’s executives decide, so there’s a huge difference. That’s why Carter is dressed in “character”.
Anyway, it’s so rare that a black actress makes a major magazine cover that it’s fine if her attractiveness is highlighted, even if it’s just to sell magazine copies.

I finally figured out why this line bugged me so much.
Not just the Reese/Jessica situation, but more about Reese’s military career.
The military’s all “brothers in a foxhole” and teamworkteamworkteamwork. So why would the thing that Reese learned from the military be that he was alone?
We…
In “GET CARTER”, Carter’s fellow soldier warned her that she was “all alone” in the war after she confronted him from allowing the Middle Eastern informant from being killed. Perhaps Reese had a similar experience.

There were rumors that we were going to see a flashback to John’s childhood in S2 -we even got some casting pictures of young John, I believe. That ep never materialized, and the working theory is that they were forced to cut an episode - possibly due to Hurricane Sandy related production delays - which also contributed to the mess that was 2x20, which (the theory goes) was so weird and disjointed because it was originally supposed to be two separate episodes.
Anyhoo, if that’s true, there’s clearly some John backstory they planned to tell/want to tell, and maybe they’ll work it into S3.
I hope so! I had wondered why 2x20 was so choppy and odd, but when I heard it might have been two episodes spliced to one, that made more sense. Didn’t make me thrilled, but mollified my annoyance by a good bit. More Johnny bits! Wait, I mean, not *those* bits …. okay, sure, those too if TPTB are willing.
No, the episode DID air. The flashback of Young Reese were supposed to be included in Season 2, Episode 10 “Shadowbox”. The press release included the characters.
CBS only ordered 22 episodes for POI Season 2, so all the ordered episodes aired.
Happy Taraji Tuesday!
Photos: Taraji P. Henson on set of her upcoming film, “THINK LIKE A MAN TOO” in Las Vegas today (Tuesday, June 11, 2013). Pictured with her are co-stars Gabrielle Union and Kevin Hart.
It would be cool if Detective Joss Carter went undercover, wore similar dresses as shown in the above photos and drove a Lamborghini during an episode or two of “Person of Interest” Season 3.

I doubt many in the Scandal fandom do this but some of us who ship Careese in the Person of Interest fandom compare Careese to Olitz. I think this is an unfair comparison. POI and Scandal are two entirely different shows, aimed at different audiences, in different genres, with…
Good post. Can you add Joss Carter as one of the tags so that I can track this post better? Thanks.
