The Blacklist

Re: The Blacklist

Which makes me wonder why no one here but me watches Person of Interest. To me, that show is on another plane, and they've had no problem keeping it good 3 seasons in.

I started watching it 2 1/2 weeks ago. I'm up to the season finale of season 1. Really good show. I did see a major spoiler today in a CBS ad. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

Red knows some stuff, huh? Best episode of the season...very sad too.

Re: The Blacklist

Good to see people watch it. Last time I bumped that thread, it died again. I've never missed a single episode. One of the very few shows I actually started watching from the very beginning when it was broadcast and didn't have to play catchup. I looked at it as my new Numb3rs.

About that major spoiler, I missed it but I'm hoping it only referred to this episode. They're usually pretty good about keeping references in the short-term for POI.

As for The Blacklist, this is most certainly a current arc and they will go back to normal. For Blzer's sake, I comment the rest because I make a comparison between the two...

Spoiler

Blacklist isn't as bold as POI, so we know Keen isn't going to die next week. Makes me wonder how they are going to drag that out for an entire show so it should be good. Glad I didn't give up on this one. There were a few slow ones early on and they about lost me.

If they go back to the old formula, which they will, I can't see this being the exponential progression that POI had with Elias, HR, and Root, the Decima/Special Council/God Mode situation, and we still have Collier in the background and the conclusion of that started in God Mode is coming. Eventually, they are going to peak and it's liable to be a disappointment. If they went back to the old formula now, I imagine that might damage the reputation a bit. But the writers have been good about keeping those background storylines very important.

Re: The Blacklist

Count me in on POI as well...

Never saw that thread...

Recent Blacklist, as well as this last three episode arc of the "Fall of HR" on POI have been among the most intense stuff I'VE seen...

They're my only two "Must See" Dramas, as of late...

Yeah, but Keen and Red are the only ones that can't die.

Re: The Blacklist

If it turns out Keen's husband is a bad guy and she has to dump him, I'd like to volunteer my services as his replacement.

I almost never watch network TV now, but this show has me hooked.

Yeah, it referenced last week's monumental event. So it was a spoiler for me.

Oh well, I don't call those spoilers. I call those punishments. Most shows give a window for those that missed it when it was broadcast, but networks have to advertise some how.

Re: The Blacklist

Well that was an......interesting finale.

Well that was an......interesting finale.

And now we have to wait until Jan. 13 for more Blacklist.

Spoiler

I've thought all along that it was too obvious for Red to be Keen's father, but now I'm wondering if he wasn't lying at the end.

Re: The Blacklist

Great stuff, I was glued to the couch. Riveting words by Red at the very end, still not sure I believe him about the first part, but can't wait to see what transpires after the 2nd part.

Good news is the break will only be a little over a month.

Re: The Blacklist

According to TV by the Numbers it returns January 13th, 20th and 27th. Then a break again for the Olympics and returns to normal Feb 24.

Re: The Blacklist

Red killing ole boy with the cuticle scissors was the highlight of the season for me. Red is a badass.

methinks the whole line with Alan Alda and whom he represents will be pushing the overarching story from here on out.

My wife thinks he's a politician, possibly the President.

Definitely well dressed and seems like a person in power. Makes me wonder what secret Red has where if he dies he could take people down (dead man's switch type thing)....

I also wondered if he was lying at the end, to protect Lizzie.

Either way, it's a fun storyline.

Glad for the renewal!
