So..................... I'm the only one who actually got emotionally punched in the gut at the final scene, huh? Also called it as a flashback at the start of the second scene because there is no way in hell even The Blacklist would try to explain Red traveling across the world back and forth that quickly. Also gently caress that one guy who kept saying Comrade. He almost deserved that neck-shot more than Liz's assaulter. And finally, dog with tongue permanently stuck out is best dog. gently caress the haters. It's just too bad that in order to keep the gravity of the situation in order to make the final scene impactful, there were no joke stories about Red giving the dogs to some poetically appropriate person.

That might be one of my favorite episodes of this show yet. Cool heist adventures with Tom, Monk and his dogs were delightful, AND Mob violence leading into a RayRed brand nonsense monolog? drat, son. Also Liz and the fbi did some stuff I guess. DaveKap posted:So..................... I'm the only one who actually got emotionally punched in the gut at the final scene, huh? No you weren't the only one, Red's scenes showing why Pitt had to die were really well done and dovetailed into the main plot nicely. That poor woman.

Started watching this the other day and I'm mid-way through Season 2 now. This show is terrible, just terrible. The worst of low-rent procedurals and spy dramas, rolled into one and headlined by a cast of passionless, banal idiots. That said, I will continue to watch this stupid show for James Spader and his loquacious, meandering grandpa monologues.

I feel like season 3 is easily the strongest season yet. Might not be saying a whole lot, but I feel like things have really been in a groove this year.

Yeah, I can't quite pinpoint why but I think it's because we've broken outside of the typical procedural model. That and everyone seems to realize that they're just helping Red and they've embraced the "help a demon to kill the Devil" aspect. It might also be that there aren't any ~~ultra secrets~~ being thrown around, like Tom being a secret agent who was hired by Red and then turned by Berlin, or all the Cabal poo poo (they were still around this season obviously, but you saw their effects pretty clearly). computer parts fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Feb 10, 2016 |

It's either that or the Stockholm Syndrome is finally kicking in. There hasn't been any ridiculous CGI or beyond stupid poo poo like a plane getting hit by a missle and just having one engine be on fire for a while. Also there aren't too many bad guys where I actively cheer for them and not the FBI like the Wilson episode in season 1. edit: oh and of course no nuclear bombs have blown up in a city harbour making everything totally fine because it was under water. Though the fact that they went for "Lizzie and Tom own a dog that's only seen in one scene and never explained or mentioned again" not once but twice now, and that the dog looked the same both times, is a very black mark against this season.

I don't think even the writers have any clue from this point forward where they want to take this show. The Cabal poo poo wore thin, but at least it had a point, of sorts.

BIG HEADLINE posted:I don't think even the writers have any clue from this point forward where they want to take this show. The Cabal poo poo wore thin, but at least it had a point, of sorts. Honestly I think they moved through season 1 at a fairly breakneck speed and it made a lot of the goofiness less apparent. Season 2 felt FAR less focused and this season is only slightly less of a mess. After that the Cabal thing; FBI/Liz antics have been something of a unconvincing drag. I mean the show has her going back to her fake husband in this stupid will they won't they nonsense, now we have the same stupid poo poo with her pregnancy. You can almost feel the writers flailing around at this point, and they are pretty much coasting on the fact that Spader owns this character; still that only gets you so far. Personally I am looking forward to the eventual reveal of what Red's TRUE connection to Liz is, and I would laugh my rear end off if he really ends up being her father. Even though the show has bent itself backwards trying to dispel that idea, it feels like the idiotic twist we all deserve. The same way that I would put money on Liz's Russian spy mom being alive as the next big reveal. I don't even hate watch this show, it just is. unlawfulsoup fucked around with this message at 11:29 on Feb 12, 2016 |

Did Red set up the whole caper that resulted in Tom being double-crossed? And, while it was funny as it played out with Leslie Jones in the waiting room I kept waiting for Red to lean it to her while she was yakking and give her one of those quiet, "I really miss going deep sea fishing in the waters off Bermuda and If you don't stop talking and leave I'm going to gut you like a blue marlin and leave you flopping on the floor gasping for air while you exsanguinate"

'A lot of story to tell' should just be hours of Spader making up inane stories while he, Tom and beard guy in a season long montage of tearing down every criminal organization conviently leaving Red untouched and in control of everything.

I wish that the week to week plots of this show were about Dembe, Boz, and Reddington's other nameless mooks getting up to Ocean's Eleven style hijinks rather than the stupid FBI murder mystery schlock.

I said it before and I'll say it again: we need a show about reddington and dembe's entire criminal past leading up to the moment he turned himself in. Traversing the globe, telling stories, and making money. Put it on HBO, ramp up the writing, and call it the "concierge of crime." Instant gold with Spader leading the way and without Liz mucking up the fun stuff.

My favorite part of the show is despite the fact Red turned himself in and the FBI could burn him at any moment, instead they became his bitch. Along with half of the rest of the U.S. government.

Who doesn't work for Red's vast criminal organisation? It seemed a little bit too convenient to the plot that doctor guy should work for Red's mobile surgical unit, but then again, every plot point is a little too convenient in this show.

I'm just glad that despite the fact that it looked like he was going to - that the episode didn't lapse into Red killing ~yet another guy~ in cold blood for retribution's sake. But it does really seem like the KGB mother being alive suggests an Irina Derevko clone. Too bad Candice Bergen's too old to play her - I'd love the Boston Legal crossover.

While I agree that Reddington has far too many plot convenient connections, in this one instance it does make sense. That guy was Liz's ex, the one she called to help out when Red got wounded back in season 2, and the original doctor took a bullet. If you recall, dude only agreed to help on the condition that he be paid an extravagant amount of monies. Mr. Kaplan was quite willing to oblige, but Liz warned him not to take it because taking Red's money would put him on the hook. He didn't listen to her. But if you want to talk stupid plot conveniences; it sure was lucky that Tom just so happened to end up in the hospital where that guy worked, and while he was on shift no less!

They could take all his little stories from this show and actually play them out while allowing the Spaderman to Spaderman 'new' old stories about little hole in the wall places around the world with interesting features. Then shoot someone in the face while setting up storage lockers in red states with arsenals, cocaine stashes, and aging whiskeys.

I'm honestly baffled they even went with the "Reddington has his fingers in everything" route on that one other than the fact they needed Reddington to have something to say to Liz to make her keep the baby... which they could have done a zillion other ways. See... what would have made a lot more sense (which I predicted but ended up being wrong about) was that the jewelry store guy got Tom off the hook because he would later come back and tell Tom that the only reason he's not in jail is because it's time to rat out his lovely thief friends so that he could get revenge... which he couldn't do if Tom was beholden to the cops or stuck in jail. You know, an interesting way to spin the plot about Tom, his ex, and the jewelry store security guard as a continuing B-story that gives Tom some great action scenes while Liz is brewing the baby. Nope, simplify it cuz Megan Boone's preggers. Also it's killing me how sexist they're making Ressler. He was actually getting to be more likable during the Cabal stuff but now he's saying, unsolicited at work, how he'd never give his baby up and now he's all "women always keep the baby, it's in their programming." Yeesh.
