Well! That was an enormous wet fart of an episode... At least creepy forest guy is just a paranoid off-the-gridder. I was half-expecting, with the way these writers do things, for him to consider Kate his 'forest wife' since he found her.

I'm happy that they went in this direction with The Huntsman, really, because it's the only character development that makes his actions make even a little bit of sense. Of course, it'd have made more sense if Mr. Kaplan had been killed in the first place.

If you're going to choose a controlling, emotionally abusive, homicidal criminal mastermind to be your father figure, at least choose the one that didn't kidnap you and threaten to jump off a forty story building with your newborn baby.

My guess is he's a former Vietnam-era specops guy who could give Baz a run for his money.

Quack quack, bitch. God I haven't laughed that hard in so long. Edit: And now that the episode is over, I breath a sigh of relief that this awful-as-gently caress plotline is over. I look forward to seeing what the next episode tries in order to keep us engaged, considering this plot almost made me quit completely. Edit2: Oh, right, jawline chick is gonna probably be next.

Next episode will reveal that Kirk *wanted* to be caught all along because now that he's in US custody on US soil, he'll have access to a world famous surgeon to do his ultra-complicated operation that the government will pay for because he'll offer ultra-helpful information to the government in exchange for access to him/her. He'll get the surgery and escape with the help of the BBSB.

i'm in season 2 now. this show has turned into my de facto background noise when i'm cooking or cleaning my house or something like that. a scene in episode 9 of season 2 sums up everything i hate about this show: Liz: Lost it all how? Red: ...........in Mexico, there are these fish... SHE DIDN'T ASK YOU ABOUT FISH IN MEXICO

Anyone watch this show and also blindspot? There was a scene on blindspot this week where Rich Dotcom made a pitch to the fbi that sounded a lot like the blacklist, he even mentioned wearing a funny hat. Edit: Rich would be Red (the brains), Weller as Ressler (the brawn), and Jane as Elizabeth "What ever it is you do"

I watch both shows. Jane is definitely a sort-of Dembe. And that guy who I don't know if they gave him a name but he's got gray hair and a pony tail and is always a part of Little Red Raginghood's tiny army.

If that guy doesn't have a name on Blacklist yet, then I think he should be called Krombopulos Michael. I mean, he's not really an assassin, but he does seem to just love killin'.

There's already one lawful-evil character on the show who gets off on being present to take part in justifiable homicide - Ressler. Also, I'm not quite sure if you'd call what Baz does *acting* on the show...he kind of just shoots guns and never talks. I mean, that alone already makes him a better cast member over anyone aside from Spader, but still.

So the BBSB has a name, that I only learned because I watch this show with CC on - Odette, and she's played by http://www.annapurnasriram.com/ Also, loving hell, gently caress these loving hack gently caress writers...~IS SHE OR ISN'T SHE~?!?!?! I'm sure they took Red's DNA when he was being processed for ~The Box~. Run a loving test, answer the loving question.

That said, it's nice to see the previous blacklisters one again be strung along with the next blacklisters as a part of a grand plot again like in Season 1. Hopefully it pays off better than "to get info on the Illuminati that everyone will end up ignoring anyway."

The characters exists in an universe where the New World Order is proven to exist and yet no one seems to care. I can't wait until Red introduces the task force to the reptilians who secretly run the planet and everyone forgets the very next episode because Lizzie's been kidnapped for the 5,385th time.

I laughed that it took being tortured to the point of imminent death before Red would 'confess' to being the father. Any guesses on what Reddington whispered to Kirk? I think it was something like, "Katarina had another child, one that you fathered. I will help you find this person if you let me live".

The only thing I can think of is "she's not dead, and I can only find her with your help." Remember that painting that Red received where it was heavily implied that Katerina sent it. The Thursday Night Football promo spot with Red and Dembe drinking out of red Solo cups was priceless...if you DVRed it, go back and find it.

'Goons? Now, that's not fair. Well, Carlton is a bit goonish, but Matthew is actually quite erudite and a world-class chess player to boot'. About the best line to come out of this otherwise boring episode.

At least after finding out his daughter was alive, Peter Stormare had the good graces to let himself get shot in the face to give a horrible storyline (and us) some closure.

I don't know why it still bothers me but it does. "Leave him" after killing everyone else in the hospital. Also, all that justice that anyone murdered in that hospital won't get. They really de-sensitize you to rando innocents getting murdered in this dumb show.

They *barely* advertised this season. It's probably the last. Seriously, their hyping of it always came after the promo for a newer show, like "oh hey, if you don't check your series recordings, this thing's coming back, too...watch it, I guess?"

The woman, Navabi? Because this episode was mostly about her... and she's fine. Other than Aram can't trust her now. gently caress you, shippers. I would assume either that or Red manipulating the President-elect would be part of the main plot from here on out but who the gently caress knows.

On one hand, it feels like they're trying to do their best to hit the reset button and bring the show back to the beginning. On the other hand, they've cocked it up so badly trying to add depth to a rain puddle that watching it now makes the past two seasons feel like a waste of time. And sorry, I know we're in a parallel universe where everyone chooses to ignore Samar being a "former" (*wink wink*) agent of Mossad, but to act surprised when she's, oh poo poo, *still* active, and then to admonish it with a glorified wrist slap and not with...I dunno, deportation?!?! Also, writers, how hard is it to write "seeing as I just got out of a deposition where I talked about my poor taste in women and how that led to my compromising of national security, I don't think it's a great time for me to start dating a Mossad double agent who just proved her professional loyalties don't align with mine." Again, they're really trying to make us all not care a bit when they inevitably kill off Samar. Also, Ressler got to kill some people this episode, he actually looked happy for the first time in two seasons. But he was so kill-stupid that he once again fired blindly into a vehicle holding a friendly. But because it wasn't alive, wouldn't shoot at a completely stationary drone four feet in front of his face.

I realize that believable consequences stopped being a thing in The Blacklist universe even before Lizzie got three years probation for assassinating a cabinet official, but I gotta think that taking part in a black ops raid by a foreign agency that resulted in multiple casulties on American soil should warrant more than a "I'm very disappointed with you young lady" speech from the boss.

"There's a killer right across the street, and we just heard he's coming to kidnap or kill the little girl. Let's have both people with tactical experience go hunt him down rather than, say, set up an ambush for him. Aram, you've held a gun before, right? Don't worry, Ma'am...we're leaving you and your daughter in capa...we're leaving you in good hands. GONNA GO GET MY JUSTIFIABLE KILLIN' ON!" I guess Aram's plot armor is still in good condition.

Speaking of plot armor, how is it the writers missed an opportunity to take us back and see how Mr. Kaplan is faring with her creepy-rear end benefactor? Especially after all the stuff Dembe and the new cleaners were talking about. C'mon, show.
