'Person of Interest' Season 5 SPOILERS: Are Jim Caviezel, Michael Emerson "Survivors?"

CBS is just days away from the Season 5 premiere of Person of Interest. As the fifth season premiere in May approaches, are Harold Finch (Michael Emerson) John Reese (Caviezel) "survivors" in the all-out battle between Samaritan and The Machine?

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 (Emerson) walked out, with no gun, alongside Reese (Caviezel) and Root (Amy Acker) as they started shooting down Samaritan's agents.

We also mentioned, the last 13 episodes, CBS will air Person of Interest twice a week. On Mondays and Tuesdays, viewers will catch an episode at 10pm, starting in early May.The series finale is slated for Tuesday, June 21.

In an interview with TV Guide, Emerson discusses the series finale, "The ending, I thought, was really satisfying - and still ever so slightly open-ended, so that if someone, someday wanted to reboot this thing, or have a Chapter 2 of some sort, it wouldn't be out of the question. There are survivors ... [but] not many."

Creator/co-showrunner Jonathan Nolan adds, " "I would have loved to have kept making this thing for a long, long time, but you don't want the show to become creatively moribund. We saw the writing on the wall before this season started, but we had the incredible luxury of having 13 episodes to really finish our story."
