Look, I just have to say, you can almost always tell how good an episode is by its title. In the case of POI, the writers are SO talented in choosing fantastic titles (like hello, what an amazing use of "Deus Ex Machina"!).
Anyways, the word "Panopticon" almost exactly reflects the situation that the team finds themselves in-- behaving as if there every move is under watch. That being said, this makes for some hilarious scenes (Shaw looked like she was about to shoot something, starting with herself). I also find this intriguing when considering the consequences in real life; after all, with the celebrity photo leak and heartbleed and every other technological breach that has been going on, how do we know that we are NOT being consistently watched (by machine or by human)? Should we behave as if our every move is being watched?
Can't wait for POI's take on this in the coming season :)
