At what point do you start to say to yourself, "You know what, I think I might just be a full time Nazi with vacation periods of non-Nazi activities"

I would say at Nazi tattoo # 4

I watched one episode with no sound (was in a restaurant) and it had him opposite Ron Perlman. Watching James Spader pretend to be a tough guy instead of a paper pushing dad was funny to say the least

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.

lol, I saw the first episode and decided I had had enough of that show, but now I see that it's available to stream so I'm watching the first episode (again) now. Thanks for the heads-up that her boyfriend/husband is a spy!

They already hosed up the timeline too. As you said, she's late for her first day, and in the rush, he manages to exposition(tm) that they're due at the adoption agency at 1:30pm. Then she gets picked up in a helicopter and has a chat with Blacklist.

Then she calls her husband who's already at the adoption agency whining that she's not there! So, either she was supposed to be in on her first day at like 1pm, or they hosed up.

Just another lurker
spaderman comes across as so smug in this show i just want to slap his pudgy face. i liked him in boston legal and from what i can tell he was pretty much the exact same character so im not sure why i dont like him in blacklist.

as far as blacklist itself goes it struck me as one of those "haha, i knew you were going to stand there at this exact moment, so i put a rope to catch you!" "aha, well i anticipated you anticipating me standing here, so prior to standing here i replaced your rope with a snake that i have trained to attack you!" type of shows and i never really cared for it

i agree with you about superhero stuff as well and i know way too many people who put stock in it on a philosophical level

I just finished episode 2. He removed the hat once, and put it on once. The tally is now:

Hat off-on
S01E01: 3-0
S01E02: 1-1
S01E03: 2-1

Score: 6-2

Do you think TV Tropes or someone would be interested in this list?

edit: Ok, I'm reading the description on the streaming site (they have three seasons up), and it says: "FBI Agent "Liz" Keen is now wanted and on the run with criminal mastermind Raymond "Red" Reddington." That ... doesn't sound promising.

edit2: I really dislike this show. Maybe I won't continue the list.

Keen knew Blacklist got off on perverted crime very well. In FBI school they had several pop quizs over the Blacklist, no not that one, Blacklist's list of fetishes! It was also called the Blacklist because several involved women of an African descent.

"Why do you have to be so perverted all the time" Elizabeth asked cooingly, "But enough talk. What is unusual about crime?"

Blacklist pressed a button on his remote and his TV turn on. "Oh they let you have TV now, is this even prison?" Elizabeth said snarkly. Blacklist leer like a shark, "Shut up and watch the tape" and played the DVD. It was a man dying in an odd unusual way, killing himself violently, but in a prison. Blacklist explained,"We are hunting the killer Kira. He has been killing people with some sort of magical power. I am afraid, because he is killing criminals."

"But..." Elizabeth said, "Blacklist you are criminal."

Blacklist bit lip, "Yes I am. That is why I am calling backup"

Suddenly the detective L arrived.

The only thing I know about this show is its selling some boring bullshit plot with endless shots of a hot chick with tattoos to grab people's attention.

Also the same lovely commercial for it plays endlessly in the middle of football games, sandwiched between even more lovely fantasy football gambling site ads

Suddenly the detective L arrived.

Detective L was a skinny Japanese teen with a sullen demeanor.
Elizabeth Keen noticed he wasn't wearing shoes and was grossed out.
"Could you please put on some shoes?" she asked, wrinkling her nose.
L immediately went into Sherlock mode. He imagined that words appeared over things that described those things. He analyzed Elizabeth Keen.
"Elizabeth Keen, daughter of Mary Keen and Commander Keen. Your father was a criminal and ran away while you were little and it has caused an abandonment complex," mumbled L in a whispery voice.
Elizabeth was astonished and stepped back in astonishment. How could someone have analyzed her so well??
"What did you tell him?" she asked Blacklist, angrily.
Blacklist smirked and put on his hat "I didn't tell him anything, miss Keen. L is the greatest detective in the world."
L turned to Blacklist. He imagined a heads up display popping up next to Blacklist's face. He did this because he's severely autistic. The imaginary HUD made a popup that said "list of crimes" and then a lot of crimes scrolled past L's vision. L smiled to himself and mumbled.
"The greatest detective in the world meets the greatest criminal in the world. This is an interesting case indeed."

She figures it out after a couple torture episodes but still hates him for it because he used her to hide the Illuminati's microfilm that has the philosopher's legacy on it. That's why they set her house on fire. Also her mom was Russian James Bond.

See also: all superhero shows.

I dunno if you're following Marvel's Agents of Shield but while yes, they sure started out that way, now it's evolved quite a bit and the main characters are basically the underground railroad for the persecuted minorities and the US government is gradually becoming the real Bad Guy in the show.

e: The Flash and Arrow though, totally guilty as charged (Flash even has his own private Supermax prison that he queitly throws people into permanently, although I'm fairly sure this is going to evolve into commentary on private prisons being horrible)

I can't watch Blacklist because even though I love James Spader all of the plot that I've seen is so excruciatingly dumb even by comic book standards that I just can't stand it. There is very little fun, at least I can forgive Flash and SHIELD because there's a lot of fun poo poo going on and not this grueling 5 year systematic kill list thing.
