Im in season 2, she says to Red that he only does anything for himself and he is selfish. Did she forget about the incursion that took place and the fact they she would've been shot in the head if reddington never came out the box.
I love the show but I haven't watched the final season, but I'm curious if it's worth seeing how it ends. Just seems pointless to watch if Elizabeth is dead, I could be wrong. Please no spoilers.
We didn’t even get to see what katarina wrote to Liz and what was in dembes box
I’m from Brazil and finish the season 10 my heart is broken 😫😂.
So after all, what is Raymond Reddignton's real identity?
Okay so, this is for the season finishers. Instead of putting myself to sleep, my brain 🧠🥱 got an idea, about the conspiracy that Reddington might be Katarina. If that is the case? Did none of Reddington's wives ever question his sexuality? I've watched all 10 seasons and not even once I felt that Raymond Reddington was Katarina Rastova.
I caught up and have to say S9 & 10 were one of the best. I never liked Liz and especially in the last season she really annoyed me. So was really glad when she was finally of the show. Also most of the secrets were out, so in the last seasons we could focus more on the characters instead of just finding out secrets. I also saw most people not liking the ending but I think it fits for the character. Only criticism I understand is that we never got to see what was written in the letter.
I get it he can be bad ass and cool I guess but he's so unlikable and likable at the same time.
Like the scene in Africa where he burns the 3million smfh dude can be so cringe sometimes too dunno I haven't searched much for any opinions on here for spoilers but I dunno dude starting to annoy me, if you're not rooting for him he's such an annoying character
Season 10 was a trainwreck. One of the things that annoyed me the MOST was the Ressler phone tap.
An agent for a covert top secret task force conducts and discusses intimate details of his top secret work over his personal cell phone? As someone who works in the government/department of defense (nothing top secret) we are issued government cell phones. NO WAY IN HELL Ressler would be talking about the task force on conference call with everyone from his personal cell. He would also not let someone borrow the phone he uses for work to call his significant other.
So I was watching part 1 of the 2-part episode and I’m still confused as to why Liz removed her boots and went barefoot when she got out of the elevator
Cannot even stand the sight of Liz at this point. Both as a character and the acting. I know what happens at the end of this season, which I'm excited for. Obvious reasons.
Is it worth it to keep watching? The stupidity of the script alone is so damn maddening. Liz's choices make absolutely no sense. The only reason I'm still here is Spader. The only reason I started watching was Spader. Boone is so horrid. Not shocking at all she had one episode as an extra since Blacklist.
Ugh
I’m on my first watch and currently on Season 6, so no spoilers please. But am I the only one who’s tired of Red getting arrested, I don’t know but even the cases are a bit boring. Does this get better?
Second time watching this and I still find it so odd that he would do that. I would think that he would get into a lot of trouble. Does he not have to write a report about everything that takes place? How would he explain that there's no officer hurt?
I stopped watching after Season 9 but I read about the ending here saying that Red is Katarina. I am now rewatching from the start so I could finally see how that ending was possible. I just finished rewatching the first season and I would say that there really are clues there that pointed to this ending.
However, I am also noticing a few things that might deter me from fully accepting the Red is Katarina ending. Among them is that in many of his stories, it sounded like he was a very virile "man" who had sexually engaged and even fell in love with women. I can accept that maybe he got the perfect surgery to fully transform him into a man, physically speaking. But to change his sexual orientation and personality so that he became almost truly male, was that ever addressed in the last season (or anywhere in the show)?
Did he actually want to become a man through and through and had his "personality" masculinized or something through some kind of treatment or voodoo?
Or were there clues that even when he was still Katarina, he was in fact attracted to women?
One minute they’re in DC, the next they’re in NYC. It’s at least an hour and a half between the cities, I get that it’s tv, but where’s the post office?
Also, what’s with the absolutely horrendous green screen in season 8?
Okay — so can someone just explain why Raymond Reddington cares so much about Elizabeth Keen?
From the first episode and onwards — why her?
I googled this same question but I just keep getting more confused. If someone can please explain their relationship in full once and for all, that would great.
Also, bonus question: who is Tom (Liz’s husband) and was he undercover for something?
I finished the show 2 days ago, I hate the ending, I don't wanna spoil for others who didn't watch but it was so disappointing. I was expecting more from it, like something fitting for the blacklist world, some action and thrill.. I only got anxiety and brain lag when the episode ended.. I wish if I hadn't watch it, my mind came up with better ending possibilities than the shit they made.. The whole show is amazing but the last season messed everything up, especially last episode.. SPOILER ⚠️ : on the other hand, I think the writers wanted Reddington's story to end the way Red wanted, showing that he had control of his life and that he wasn't afraid of dying.. That facing death itself was nothing after everything he lived for.. true it's disappointing, but it was weird, unexpected and self-serving just like everything Red had done throughout the show.. He let the whole world chase his tail knowing they won't catch him cuz he knew what he was going to do, how his story is gonna end.. The most wanted man in the whole world and no one could catch him for 30 years, acknowledging everyone that only him can choose his own fate, I bet his ending was the number 1 iconic story in the news around the world. still I hate the end, it could have been much better. Any thoughts ?
Just struggled into S4 in the hope that the writers might recapture some of the interest of the first 2 seasons, but after 2 episodes I'm not optimistic. Is it just an exotic family drama from here on, or does it actually get back to cops & robbers at some point?
Between Keen, Park, and now Siya Malik, you would think he learned his lesson 😭😭
It just occurred to me that, since The Judge surrendered to the FBI, she'd very likely end up in prison.
Now, most of the time, new prisoners would need to find some sort of group for protection, because they're not affiliated, but The Judge would be a legendary character within American prison lore, which makes me wonder... who respected would The Judge be by other prisoners while she was in prison?
Why does Jennifer "Reddington" and Liz keen always make the stupidest decisions? S6 e6 I can your my finger on it but BOTH of them are so fucking annoying
Major spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen the entire series...
!I just watched him shoot an unarmed, injured man during his little vigilante justice episode!<
!He killed someone before he was in the FBI!<
!I'm sure that I'm missing so much more that he's done. But, he gave Dembe a hard time about joining the FBI and he's always complaining about Red's criminal activity. He's really not much better.!<
I have recently finished the series but have never participated in the online fandom for The Blacklist. Can you explain Red being Rostova to me, or can you point out to some meta I can read? Thanks.
There are so many fireable things that he's done. But, I'm rewatching S1 and he's already let himself get compromised by Red. 😩 He's actually one of my faves, but...sorry, he's weak. I can't recall the details of what happened when Cooper found out, but he should have been let go after that.
One of the worst things that he did --it was so bad that I thought that it was a setup to trick the bad guy. This was when he caused the person going into witness protection to be kidnapped. Am I the only one who thought that he did such a horrible job at hiding the person's whereabouts that he was either trying to trick the dirty cop into doing something incriminating...or was trying to make him think the target was there when in reality, the team had him hidden somewhere else?
IM so confused as to how people here are saying it’s not true! It’s like y’all are children who need the script to outright say “yes I am katatina rostova” instead of just reading between the lines! I didn’t even know people didn’t think it was true, it was that obvious - like one of the main points in the whole show. I mean they pretty much say it without saying it a few times in fact.
Is it just me or does anyone else thinks The Blacklist has the best music in the series?
