Oh man, wouldn't it be great if the government could persecute the real bad people without giving them due process? But we can't have the heroes of the story violate constitutional and human rights, even for a good cause.
Good thing there's this criminal mastermind manipulating them so they're absolved of all moral responsibility for their brutal police state shenanigans!

They need to bring 24 back and have more graphic torture scenes imo. Graphically show Jack chopping heads off and getting results.

My favorite part is how Blacklist's prison cell opens up and slides backwards on a rail as if he's Magneto or some poo poo instead of a fat middle aged man.

Truth, although the good superhero shows don't pretend they're anything more than kabuki melodrama originally designed for 10 year-olds, where the setting and ties to real-world legality are tenuous at best.

We should ad an amendment to the constitution that says these rights don't apply to bad people and then enact the final solution against them

Network TV cop/military shows are all fascist wish fulfillment fantasy. They've been that way at least since the 70s. Thanks, "Dirty Harry."

"Mr. Blacklist, we have someone to put on your list" said Abigal Mcfeatherworth, the police detective, "Its a real hard nut to crack. Its this guy named Kira, who only kills bad people like you now do."

Blacklist was scared, he heard of kira, the wielder of the death note.

It's a show about James Spader doing the FBI's job because everyone in the FBI is a mouth-breathing retard.

In politics, as in cooking, you need to balance all 5 flavors. Fascism is a flavor that is sadly underused in today's environment.

Blacklist was scared, he heard of kira, the wielder of the death note.


But he was up to the challenge. He put on his bowler hat and said "I'll talk to no-one but Elizabeth Keen."

Elizabeth Keen had overslept! She was late for FBI! Kissing her husband who was actually a spy and stuffing a slice of toast in her mouth, she dashed out the door and drove to the warehouse where Blacklist's top-secret prison cell was. They were still holding Blacklist without charging him with a crime or granting him access to an attorney.
"Hello, Elizabeth Keen," said Blacklist, smirkingly.
"What do you have for me today?" asked the ditzy detective. "Another Lich?"
"No, this one is a bit more... unusual..." he licked his lips and smiled. Blacklist was a pervert who got off on crime.
