God drat what an episode. I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through. I was sorta hoping Tom would be like, "You don't have to shoot him, because I will." considering he's willing to kill a semi-famous, nice, and sorta innocent dude. The cabal muscle shouldn't mean poo poo to him. Nice of the show to re-acknowledge that we're still in the dark about why Keene matters so much. Maybe they'll be nice and not hold out for the final episode to reveal the most annoyingly secretive fact of the series. Binary Logic posted:I loved how matter-of-fact Red was about having storage lockers in almost every state that contain a huge stash of cocaine, aging chuleton de buey steaks, and whatever else works for the plot and narrative. "I'm sure you're aware of Picasso's stolen Le pigeon aux petits pois painting...I have it hanging up in what looks like an abandoned double-wide trailer in Louisiana near a roadside barbecue joint that serves spectacular pulled pork. The waitress Jane is also spectacular if you can look past the golf ball sized mole on her neck ..." Yeah it's weird just how completely original and believable the idea is that Red has "a perfect memory" and that's why he is the way he is. And yet he has to revisit a grave site to "remind himself how it might have felt" to lose another person. Yeesh. DaveKap fucked around with this message at 11:55 on Jan 8, 2016 |

Binary Logic posted:I'm fine with a reset and everyone going back to where they were but I guess it was done really quickly on the show. No internal investigations or changes in protocols..."okay everyone let's get back to work". Or the show could just go to complete poo poo and it becomes a romcom about Liz and Tom getting back together.

The episode was almost over and I was like "eh, alright, whatever" and then it suddenly went into  mode as she got beat up and then it went into  mode when they show her all bruised in the hospital and then it was just straight up  when they said she was preggers. What the gently caress.

Someone do me a favor because I'm actually trying to analyze my own personal distaste for "baby as plot device" in stories. Can someone name a television show where someone having a baby was actually good for the show? Like, it provided entertainment value? The only thing I can think of is Dinosaurs.

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.

HookShot posted: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.

When the paper towels caught fire all I could hear was yakkety sax. What a hilariously dumb episode. I wish I actually wrote out all my thoughts from the last one, considering the Tom betrayal was so telegraphed. That said, DOGS!

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.

I was so ready to come in here and talk about how lovely this episode was but I couldn't stop laughing at the last 10 minutes. It's like this show is some kind of love letter to the worst of network broadcasting.

Such a dumb loving episode. As soon as they showed him hallucinate the front desk lady, I knew the drowning woman was fake because the timing was too perfect, even for a show that's all about timing being too perfect. And then they had to ruin that by having the timing be perfect for the old man finding the locket. But, like, even if they were trying to throw anyone off, the way Red and the woman talked like they already knew each other and that hanging out in this old place was a-okay, it made the vibe of the episode just weird and stupid. "I'll make risotto!" "Will we have hot water tonight?" Without a name exchange, thanks for saving her life, or an explanation for why she was walking into the water? And then Red pulls the piano wire on some guy at a stairwell? What the gently caress was that? What was happening there? It didn't make any sense! And then that guy's body disappeared when the next dude came to the stairwell?! What the gently caress?! And where the gently caress did Red get that shotgun that he took the sniper out with?!!??! I would have taken a "Keene and Tom pancake breakfast with new baby crying" over this pile. Uhhh that said... I guess this does reveal that Keene's mom actually is dead in the water. Which means we have no idea who the gently caress was after Keene. DaveKap fucked around with this message at 08:22 on Apr 22, 2016 |

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.

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.)

Is there a show that is just Ocean's 11 every episode? A show exclusively about elaborate heists? Because if not, how the gently caress has that not happened yet? And can Tom's show be that? That'd be cool. That said, I loving hate "omg does the download bar finish before the lock-out bar finishes" moments. Really, those are the worst trope. Anyway, the episode somehow was amazing despite not enough Red. It's great to see the chief from The Shield playing another political role, though. He fits the part so drat well.

As soon as they figured out it was Mr. Kaplan who sent Tom away, I realized Lizzie was gonna be there. As soon as that guy knocked Tom out instead of straight up shooting him, I knew Kirk was Lizzie's dad. Which means now that we've got all (probably not) the players together, can we please freaking find out how the gently caress Red and Lizzie are connected? Nope, save that for the final episode of the show. Pffthhhhhhhpbhpbhbphbb

We can make jokes that the average person didn't see Lizzie coming back from a mile away but I read a couple popular news articles about the actress giving birth and they both stated "she's taking maternity leave so we'll see how they decide to bring her back to life." pretty matter-of-factly like there was no reason for anyone to think she was actually gone. The only thing that threw me was that Tom's going to head off to a spin-off show and actually-killing Lizzie would have been a great way to send him there. Ah well.

I was ready to quit when Mr. Kaplan was supposed to be dead but since she's back and they gave her a Misery plotline I'm unfortunately staying on board for this boring roller coaster of a show. She's going to kill Red and it's going to be fantastic.

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.

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."

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.
