Something about Megan Boone this season, not sure what it is but she has my attention more than past seasons.

Same. I said that after the first episode this season, and it has held up. Part of it may be this new kind of fire that she seems to have, but yeah I think she looks the best she ever has this season.

Re: The Blacklist Season 5

So my mind must have been somewhere else from the previous couple episodes, because I thought that black guy was working covertly with Damascus and fully against Keen. I didn't put two-and-two together that he did not realize Damascus was Tom's killer.

I was wondering why we were letting Keen trust him for so long. I guess it's because he was a trustworthy fellow after all lol.

Yeah, I have to confess to being lost on this one. I THINK I forgot that Garvey (Damascus, right?) was a cop, but I don't even know that for sure. I also thought that the black guy was fully on board with Garvey but was that only in a law enforcement capacity? Liz's epiphany was convenient even for The Blacklist. One more episode (today) and then a mini-break until April 4th.

Sometimes the music on this show is just too good.

The track from the closing scene from this weeks episode Time moves slow

Re: The Blacklist Season 5

The tune in the beginning of the show At 17 by Janis Ian, very appropriate for one part of the story.

I really loved this episode, it's a set up episode for a showdown.

According to the USAToday, the Blacklist is on the bubble.

They have a vote to save shows, so, if you want to see if this helps for another season, I'll provide a link below.

Click on the vote link, and it's under The Blacklist. I am not sure how accurate on the bubble is.

They have a "4 BEAR" rating on "Cancel Bear" so that's a good sign.

Haha.

Red being Red and the Ian storyline looks to end next week.

Interesting storyline at the end of the show upcoming.

Jampacked episode. Lots of surprises, early and late.

First time we met Garvey, I thought he was a puny pushover. He's earned my respect more and more throughout the season, and I'm still trying to determine if he is more villain (Blacklister) or antihero (Reddington).

Reddington's "asscrack of dawn" line was hilarious.

I don't see much Vic Mackey (The Shield) in him so I vote VILLAIN.

The new daughter might be a good idea as long as she stops hating Red within a reasonable amount of time because it soon might be Liz's turn to start hating him.

A little thing but did you notice Dembe's irritation at being bested by Red while playing a board game?

I did not know he was on that show.

I only saw a few episodes of that show, and I was like in high school at the time. It is a show that is on my radar to watch in full, much like The Wire and many others that have concluded and are highly regarded. In time, though.

I wasn't sure what to think of the "new daughter" angle. I thought maybe she was the original daughter of Reddington and there was some mix-up along the way, like he was pinning the wrong individual the whole time somehow. That would have been a bit convoluted, so just another daughter seems fairer and makes more sense.

Anyway, I think the new daughter hates Liz most now because she killed her surrogate father.

I missed that part. I'll have to see it again. Dembe adds a lot to the atmosphere of scenes with Reddington, even if he was just in the background. Red would somehow be a much less complete character without Dembe by his side.

That one got by me. You didn't know the character Vic Mackey was on The Shield or that the actor that portrays Garvey was on The Shield? For the record the latter was never on that show.

Re: The Blacklist Season 5

Red's daughter isn't anything new, she was just introduced in the last few shows.

She was mentioned in season 2 with Mary Louise's Parker character of Red's ex-wife.

Just clarifying.

Thanks, I actually cannot remember this.

The latter. I guess I misinterpreted what you said before. Now I understand, though. Haha I hope I didn't get too spoiled!
