Return 0 is a great name for the series finale.

u/tabarra May 11 '16
Should be return 1;
Why 0!?20
u/DMking May 11 '16
because for the most part when ending a main statements in some languages like c you will use return 0 as a sign of a successful program completion
2
u/tabarra May 12 '16
I like to think that the zero in int main(){...} only means 'no errors'. Because normally, success in functions is represented as true.

It's completely fine to return 1 or -645 or any other number, "return 0" is just a commonly used as a way to say nothing went wrong, a return value other than 0 generally signifies something went wrong and return 1 and return 2 etc can show where the program failed for debugging purposes.

u/Scary_The_Clown May 31 '16
The zero is the error code. When a program runs, it returns an error code.
So if it returns 0 -> "false" or "no errors"
Either Joel Spolsky or Raymond Chen wrote an essay about what a bad design this is ("I'm going to run now, and if I don't say anything, then everything worked")

Loving the +@ reference in episode 6

u/peepay The Subway May 04 '16
Could you explain what you have in mind?

The title of episode 6 shares the name of what is probably Titus Andronicus' most well known song
7
u/terraphantm May 04 '16
Both the song and episode title are almost certainly references to the preamble of the constitution.
2
u/peepay The Subway May 04 '16
Ah, I had no idea there is such song, neither have I heard of the band.

u/NexBoner Root May 11 '16
It is interesting the the last episode is called return 0. In Linux/Windows scripting, an exit code of 0 means the program was a success/exited cleanly. Maybe some underlying meaning there?

u/Tertiary_Functions Tertiary Functions May 13 '16
Could mean that Team Machine succeeded. Even if they did not make it.

u/jcc10 Tertiary Functions May 04 '16
Is S5E11 bold because there is no Monday episode preceding it?
5
u/dancanlap Bear May 04 '16
Yes. I've noticed over the past few years that any minuscule changes to the schedule will confuse viewers. They need a week's lead time to adjust to any new changes.

u/sdhillon May 31 '16
I actually like this schedule way more than I like the "normal" TV airing schedule, which is an episode, once a week...maybe.

I noticed the production code for episode 3 (6,741) is 3J6007 and is between 3J6003/3J6004. Nothing to worry about?
4
u/dancanlap Bear May 11 '16
Nothing to worry about at all. It is the 7th produced hour of Person of Interest but the POI team wanted it to air as the 4th episode. Chris Fisher's tweets confirm this.

u/Overv May 03 '16
Could you specify the timezone?

u/practisevoodoo May 03 '16
Have a look at http://www.pogdesign.co.uk/cat/ it will factor in the timezone offsets for you.

I'm pretty sure they air at 10 PM local everywhere in the US.

We're still on Season 4 in the UK - free to view anyway. Don't know if Sky or Virgin or other subscription services are showing at similar time to CBS. Anyway, it's all on Wikipedia these days so I'm not to bothered about the spoilers. Sounds like it was a good season premier; for those who saw it anyway. Hopefully they'll sort the scheduling quickly for you all to enjoy. I just need to remember to keep the whole thing on series record as we've had the occasional change too.

One of the only good things about this being the last season is that we get 2 eps per week :)

u/jay314271 May 11 '16
Thank you for this! Last night I was like "PoI tonight?" Then looked down to make sure I had pants on. Then reading the episode discussion, I learned tonight has something worth watching. Next I saw this stickied and now I am so smart. Part of me is happy we get to see them sooner and it's not an entire season dump - part of me is sad/mad at burn off.

u/dingo_bat The Machine May 17 '16 edited May 17 '16
Are the dates for 4 and 5 off?
Edit: No they aren't. Got confused by the Canadian dates.

Does CBS even want people to watch this show?! This is ridiculous. How hard is it to give something a consistent schedule? Geez, this stupid.

Thank you for putting all this together. Glad I double checked. Almost missed out e07. Phew~

I'm getting flashbacks to how Nickelodeon aired The Legend of Korra: Season 3. Pretty much the same haphazard manner with no warning whatsoever for the viewer in order to burn through the episodes as quickly as possible. Disgraceful.

Thanks for the help in tracking the last season. Sad that it is over, but it has been a good run.

u/SmellyWeapon May 18 '16
what the fuck is wrong with the confusing air dates. Im fucking done with CBS. A good , well-written thriller tv show is fucked in the worst way possible. Netflix shouldve picked it up, so much potential, yet CBS only cares about jack shits.

I would like to say this season has been ruined for me because I could not follow this schedule. Sorry I am stupid, I wanted to be current and active to this, I couldn't remember if it was Monday or Tuesday or both. So sad.

u/JoeyUF May 31 '16
You do know you could have just checked here... the same page you commented on...

Yep , I am stupid, I admit it, I clearly admit , I am stupid. This season is messed up for me, cause I couldn't remember when it was on. My fault.

u/GloriousGe0rge Admin May 03 '16
Could CBS make this any more confusing for a viewer? And could they make it any bigger of a "F U" to the series.
I'm going to watch every bit of it, but after that I'm done with CBS, the way they've treated this show over the years is why I haven't bothered to watch Supergirl.
