I have to admit, though...that scene where Tom takes them all apart would've been cooler were it not for the four or five times it's been done in the past...the last one I saw was the non-lethal version in Jack Reacher.

I do think it's interesting that if you have a billion bucks you absolutely could do crazy poo poo like fly in the air 24/7 with mid-air refueling and a modified plane to allow crazy passenger exchanges, or just staff that's crazy or well-paid enough to fly with you forever. It'd probably only be around $5-10 million a year and $100 million to set it up with all the luxuries/customization, which means you can do it for far more than your lifespan. I mean, eventually SOMETHING on the drat thing is going to fail, but that's why you have your backup helicopter ready to pick you up from your plane's mid-air helipad or whatever. Edit: The best calling your shots I can recall off the top of my head was in Edge of Tomorrow, where Tom Cruise closes his eyes and owns some fools because he's been through it on a previous groundhog day-style time loop. It was a nice change from the typical "I'm so badass I know exactly how I'll take you down" thing. At that point in the movie Cruise has become pretty badass so he's not an incompetent fighter to begin with, but he owns them with such a casual indifference like they're just an annoyance, I think he literally sighs before he does it  .

I just liked it because it showed how Tom was so efficient compared to the majority of the cast. I can't remember who posted it earlier but yeah Tom's pretty much the only guy who gets poo poo done on the show.

The earliest "call your shot" that I can remember was the classic Billy Jack scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVX-voqWuwY It's come a long way since then.

Did I miss an explanation for what was going on with the surgery Crandall made the other guy watch? I thought they made it look like it was some kind of brain surgery and thought there was going to be a twist that he was freezing just the brains or something like that, but then at the end, no, it was full bodies he was freezing.

He was the only reason I started watching the show and the only reason I still do. I barely even care about the plot, I just like watching James Spader do James Spader things. That scene last season when he shot the dude with the russian roulette gun and cried out "oh my god! what are the odds?" had me laughing for a good half hour and I still chuckle every time I think about it.

The way I saw it, if the person's body was beyond hosed, the crazy rich guy just assumed the ~futcha peeple~ would be able to clone him a new body with the leftover detritus of his old one, since I'm guessing his existing form was beyond hosed with atrophy.

Talk about weird, stiff and unnecessary love scene, was there ever any chemistry between them? Whole episode felt off though even by Blacklist standards.

Aram is definitely going to die. He's been trying to 'friend zone' his way into Samar's pants for two seasons now, and Ressler has one chat with her while she's feeling all ~vulnerable~ and he's in? Ten bucks says he's out in some panel van doing the computer thing and Super Bad Guy comes by and only he can stop him which leads to him forgetting to take the safety off his dusty sidearm and ending up with a bullet in the chest which leaves him just enough time to get a parting kiss - on the forehead - from Samar. Then she and Ressler will mourn him by awkwardly screwing again. "It's what he would've wanted." BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 09:59 on Nov 13, 2015 |

I thought Aram was going to be all butthurt over Samar, and that would make him turn coat and work with the cabal. Resulting in Red and Samar taking him down and as he lays dying, he whispers "I did it for you" and she shoots him in the forehead.

I knew that the Liz-and-Reddington-are-on-the-run storyline had to be resolved, but by having her get captured it seems like we're ending at the exact same place we started. I hope the sideplots bear fruit, because right now I can't shake the feeling that this season was a big waste of time.

I just don't understand why they didn't have this all go down at the beginning of the season when she was already in custody.

It is stupid for the the narrative to be contingent on some legal reasoning because the rest of the show doesn't care about that for a second. Natural law clearly rules the day  Octy posted:I don't know, but if I had to be killed by any of them, I'd choose Tom. Reddington a close second just for the amusing anecdote he'd tell me first.
