Yes Ressler blocking the car and then having a conversation of exposition about why he couldn't just hold them or shoot was over the top.

But the classic 'hostages in a diner' scenario, Reddington style was really well done. He's such a well-mannered and considerate sociopath.

May favorite part is nothing happened to Resseler despite doing something that was cause the DEFCon level to move.

I also enjoy this show more when they remember Red is master criminal and spent years as the most wanted man in the world.

Also I was show the waitress had turn Keene in till the last moment.

Thought he said 555 4123. But who cares, that helicopter escape was fantastic and Tom is getting into the 'fugitives on the run solving crimes for the FBI' mix.

The helicopter escape may in fact be the single greatest thing this show has ever done. Just the massive gently caress you of it all.

Why did Tom have to do this ='(
I feel really bad for rich girl now. How many lives have Tom, Keane and Reddington's just since the show started?

Tom is going to fall in love with the rich girl breaking Keane`s heart.

I love the fact the FBI hasn't figured out they basically work for Red at this point as part of his criminal network.

Not enough Red in this episode.

Plus the random dude that beat Liz up didn't die slow enough for Red's general planning.

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.

I would totally watch a show that was just Spacey and Spader sitting in a fancy room, soliloquizing at each other for an hour.

The upcoming Elvis v Nixion movie cast wrong

I'm marginally convinced that the monologues he delivers as Red aren't scripted, and they just happened to film him talking off the cuff.

The egg story he told on Conan remains the weirdest interview I've ever seen.

Oh, and I'm also skeptical that the writers have *ever* been to DC. Aram scoring what looks to be the hottest Pilates instructor in the mid-Atlantic region on a GS salary?

Around here it's not "what do you do for a living" that's first asked. It's "who do you work for," and if your answer is "the government," you'd better add "as a highly-paid contractor for a private company I can't name for legal reasons and I am wonderfully solvent with excellent credit!"

TL;DR: DC is terrible and Aram scoring a 10 on a GS salary is up there in unlikelihood with "rogue planet hitting Earth."

Aram has a side deal with Red, as he is most of the time the third best character on the show.

I also didn't think they could make Liz worse but they did.

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.

You mean ponytail guy, 3rd best character on the show

that guy is a legit manhunter irl. like he does acting as a fun side job and he literally hunts down people who kidnap children for a day job.

I had no idea, why didn't he get the loving spin off of Red helping recover missing children from around the world?
