HookShot posted:Yeah, Navabi is cool and good when they don't give her stupid rear end plotlines like being angry at Ressler because he slept with her and dumped her. I could have sworn in the episode where they found the data node that Navabi was about to be blown up by a self-destruct mechanism. She was the only one inside, while Ginger McGee was safely outside. Seeing how nonchalantly they 'deleted' Meera, it'd fit. PaybackJack posted:She needs to go just so that they can drop the stupid unrequited love angle with Aram. Or Aram finally needs to hit his 'forever friend-zoned' breaking point and become a supervillain.

I hope that this episode means that they're ready to make the show totally Spader-centered. That's probably too much to hope for though. Also, I assumed that Baz was some sort of stunt guy and that's why he kept showing up as a background character, but it turns out that's not quite it:

Sooooooo if the woman Red was playing Home Alone with last week was Liz's mom but the black haired chick introduced in this episode is being suspected of being Liz's mom then either Red was played or two main characters are flat out guessing wrong directly to the audience. Wat. Also Aram getting high is the best.

I mean, I guess they could say that Lotte Verbeek (who played Katarina in Red's vision) could be playing the younger version of Famke Janssen, but that's kind of a stretch. I mean, Famke is about 18 years older in real life, but she certainly doesn't look like it.

We already know Famke's name - and while 'Charlie' might be her *new* name, it'd also be a safe assumption that if you were a believed-to-be-dead former badass KGB super-spy, you'd probably be lethal well into your 60s. Look at Helen Mirren's 'RED' character...or more appropriately, Lena Olin's from "Alias." But, she's probably *is* Liz's mother - because this show likes to think it's clever in how it foists ~gotcha~ moments on its audience.

I'm just saying that if Famke turns out to be playing Katarina it's an interesting move to have two different actresses who look so close in age play the role in such close proximity.

My guess is the more plausible ~twist~ is that Famke isn't Lizzy's mother, but rather Lizzy's mother's slightly younger sister. So an *Elena* Derevko, not Irina. Brian Dennehy's father character said 'his daughter,' not 'his only daughter.'

Does anyone really think Liz is dead? Because the longer this goes on, the more it seems like one big Batman Gambit. I can't shake the feeling that this was all just a covert operation that was done in order to draw out some bad guys. The only question is who's behind it.

I think the doctor friend and Mr. Kaplan lady slipped her something. Red (and maybe Tom) isn't in on it and really think she's dead. Same with the FBI team. Closed casket funeral = she's not really dead. I assume Meagan Boone took a few episodes off for maternity leave. She was pretty far along in the last episode she was in.

tao of lmao posted:It'll be a real shame if they bring her back because the show is infinitely better without her. The only thing that gives me 'hope' that they might've actually done something interesting by killing her off is that they're putting plenty of ancillary female presence (both new and existing) in for Red to play off of. We already know Red likes to get high when he's upset - if they want her to come back, it can be in a dream or drug-addled haze. That being said, the show is infinitely better NOW because she's not around, but I could see it getting tedious if she *is* dead and they never take the 'black armband' off. I could also see the show becoming tedious if it turns into a running case of 'Who Shot J.R.?' BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 19:25 on May 9, 2016 |

Well, there's some speculation that Alexander Kirk (or perhaps.. Kurke...) is Lizzie's real dad. What better way to bring her back than to do so while some plot contrivance is happening with him. Also I can't stop laughing at the show not even acknowledging that last episode, they speculated that Scottie was Lizzie's mom. "What? Did we say that? Nah, we never said that. Ignore that. While you ignore that, ignore this dead cop who was just trying to make ends meet. Really, ignore all the innocent deaths going on. Isn't it crazy we killed Lizzie though?! OMG!" (This is me commenting on the fact that this show kills off so many random people, it's hard to feel bad about an important character dying.)

I was pretty convinced they were going to kill off Samar when she was the only person in the house with the servers in it. As much as I like her character, her death *might* coax Aram to find his balls...or lose them entirely.

I'm glad they killed off Liz - she was dull, and the least entertaining (along with dresser). Anyways, Spader makes the show. Here's hoping they don't cop out / jump the shark to bring Liz back.

I bet they build it up until we're convinced that Liz is coming back... and then the reveal... and it's Fish Mooney from Gotham! Meanwhile, on Gotham, Professor Strange sends Fish over to Dahlmacher for a body switch, and who is the newest gangsta bitch in Gotham? Liz!!

My suggestion for S4: Red: "Have I ever told you about the summer I spent busking in this little town in Czechoslovakia? There was a cafe on the corner that made the most exquisite buchty, they'd just melt in your mouth." Tom: "I don't want to have anything to do with your plan, also I'm super agitated." Red: "Come on, we have work to do." [30 minutes of Tom and Dembe wrecking bozos] [Red confronts bad guy] Red: "You know, this reminds me of this little inn on the Sardinian coast. The innkeeper kept whippets. It was the damnedest thing." [Red shoots bad guy in face] (repeat x22)
