Hello, Mr. Nolan and Mr. Plageman! Thanks for coming on Reddit today.

I just wanted to know how you and your writing team manage to write such engaging, realistic, and occasionally terrifying female characters? What are your inspirations for them?

One of the things I love about Person of Interest is that, barring some Irrelevants-of-the-week, there are no "damsels in distress" that need to be saved. Carter takes care of herself, Zoe could run an entire country, Root could rule the world and Kara Stanton could put them all to shame. They're also not reduced to romantic side-dishes. As a woman who hopes to be as badass as they are, it's a great sight to see. Thank you.

P.S. Is this also where I throw in a request for Annie Parisse to make another appearance in flashback form? Don't make me get the bomb vest out.

I bet you heard the excited shriek I just let out all the way in New York. Now I REALLY can't wait until September. Thanks for the answer and I wish the best to both of you and to all the engaging, realistic and terrifying women in your lives.
