You expect this show to be logical? 😉
I keep hoping.

I think she was killed offscreen.
Wujing alluded to it in the car with his henchmen. That her services were no longer needed.
Which was completely illogical. Even red has a torturer at the ready. Why kill her off?
I thought he was building a
team.

I didn’t see it but was the Dr. killed? Wujing say to kill her but….

I was thinking the same. That Siya has it out for Red.
If that’s the case, the task force will kill her because red must be protected at all costs, even when he murders, tortures, etc. It has become so tiresome. The purpose of the task force is now to grow his empire and keep him alive. If a few crooks get wasted or arrested in the process, somehow that is all that matters. Please end this garbage.

What continues to annoy me is the constant ass kissing of Red, who just murdered a woman and potentially killed more bystanders or firepeople. Only, "where is Raymond?" or "Oh my, who is on your security detail?"
He just murdered a woman.
The focus is only on protecting him from Wujing. Can't have someone extract revenge. Unless it's RR of course.
Whose bones were in the suitcase again?

Why no episode threads. PITA if you don’t want to be spoiled.

Also, for someone who loves his joes and wants to protect them, Jackson sure gets them into some tricky situations. And I'm coming to the conclusion that River really isn't that good an agent. He needs more time under Jackson's tutelage (and I wonder if that's the instruction from Grandpa, who is very handy with the shotgun).
Can't wait for the next season!
River is an incompetent agent at best. Holding a gun on two people, and letting a third relatively unknown actor tase him is beyond amateur.
And don’t get me started on the briefcase switcheroo. Or Min’s obvious tailing. Have they had any training at all?

nope. It's from zillions of other books and TV shows.
Ok, I haven’t heard of all but two or three being invisible. Interesting.

Actually, there are millions of stubs created every second whenever a living being makes a decision. However, all but two of three, who have a communication link with the main sequence, are entirely invisible.
Is this from the book? I have the audiobook but it’s almost as full of holes as the show.

He did not deserve to be killed by a drug addicted criminal, the very threat he protects us from.
Bluehawk has flown to heaven now. May he watch over us.
He was a criminal as well in case you forgot.
Heaven? Watch over?You do know this is fiction don’t you?

I wish more was done with him, he is my favorite character. But he is senselessly murdered by a-train the hypocrite.
Justice for Blue Hawk! a-train deserves to be executed, he is a drug addicted criminal who should die already.
Yeah, I for one am glad we don’t need to see the douchebag blue hawk again. He got what was coming to him.

Good show. I didn’t realize how pathetic this forum was until now.

So, Colby Minifie (Ashley) is playing essentially the same character she played in Fear the Walking Dead - a villain who is at heart a coward but drunk on her own power. At least she's not affecting that dreadful accent here.
That musical number was everything. This show!
Sometimes I think the metaphors are a little too on the nose, like Homelander going on the equivalent of a Fox News show and spewing propaganda about secret cabals and downplaying actual threats. And the way Todd was talking up Homelander's status as a hero. It'd be nice to get away from that, frankly, there's too much of it in real life.
ITA about the real life comment. To me it seems the easy way out of writing a compelling story. Just change the news channel names slightly, and pull up last week’s news for regurgitation an there’s your episode. It’s obvious with the theme park scenes in ep1? where you saw BLM, and rainbows placed for the viewer to see. I wonder if Kripke is highlighting for parody, or derision, or if he actually GAS about any said causes.

I would love to see Stan fleshed out a bit beyond being the man in charge. With his connection to Victoria maybe we'll get a little more of his backstory.
I’d love to see his backstory too. Obviously Giancarlo plays the coolness without effort and it’s a joy to watch, but there must be a reason he’s so confident in his conversations with Homelander. The viewer knows Victoria could pop his head (and everything else off I assume), but we have not been shown that Homelander knows this too. I guess for now, it’s the ratings and adoration that he seeks.
Plot hole here though. He just let a young lady commit suicide off the building. That would have brought his numbers down a bit. I imagine Stormfront’s suicide was a bigger story though.

Just curious, was it actually shown that Victoria was the head exploder person last season?

To me the biggest hole in the story continues around the FBI supporting, encouraging, abetting a criminal, and furthering his global criminal empire. Bizarre was Marvin’s statement that they know only a tiny portion of Reds shenanigans. It’s been clear for a while that his tiny scraps he feeds the FBI pale in comparison to his own illegal operations.
Marvin’s worth also was ridiculously variable plot wise. On one hand he knew EVERYTHING about Red’s operation, enough to sink him apparently with the government, yet he couldn’t even rig up an ‘insurance policy’ that would spill the beans if he died mysteriously. Yeah right.
Bilge.

Omar put a couple of gringos in charge. Not to mention that Camilla was given the blessing to run the day to day things. Omar's contacts for the most part would seamlessly become Camilla's contacts.
As to the FBI running the cartel effectively, that's what the show presented as the case.
Yes, Omar put gringos in charge, and everyone followed Marty, including torture and murder. Because of Omar. Who was locked up.
FBI part is still fantasy. That what the show is. I am just not one to handwave away bs. I prefer realistic writing, most viewers want drama and family stories without having to think too much, and that’s ok too.

Camilla having more pull than her incarcerated brother who may or may not be an FBI rat seems pretty plausible to me. Omar has limited access to the outside, mainly through Camilla, Marty and Wendy. As soon as he pieced things together that Camilla was responsible for the attempt on his life, he told Wendy and Marty to call a number to have Camilla taken care of. Omar could not control that Marty and Wendy simply refused to do so.
Omar had plenty of pull. He knew where the kids were, so he was in contact with the outside. Again, his sister wasn’t in charge long enough to have as many contacts in the US as Omar.
The FBI running a Mexican cartel? We’re debating fantasy. -

I thought the ending was brilliant, I am not sure what people were expecting. Marty and Wendy were always going to get away with it. That was the shows entire point. “That’s not how the world works.” “Since when?”
Is the vitrol because of Ruth’s death? Because that was kind of telegraphed too. From the moment she shot Javier her days were numbered. She is exactly the girl who “almost makes it out” but gets caught up in the end by the Langmore curse. Because that is how the world works.
Charlotte and Jonah can rebel all they want and wish for another life but they are who they are and when someone threatens their family they will ultimately chose to defend their family.
i honestly don’t see another way the show could have ended. I get that people wanted Marty and Wendy to get caught or dead and Ruth to get everything she ever wanted but this show was never written as a fantasy. The Byrds of the world win.
They just do.
Of course it’s written as a fantasy. An accountant goes to Mexico and pretends to be a tough guy and makes it back alive? That’s just one of many times Marty could have been killed, Wendy too, but she’s so tough she can convince a cartel head to do what she wants when she wants.
Let’s add the gargantuan plot hole of a cartel leader captured, televised all over the planet. This would be followed by the press until the trial. The trial would be big news. In Ozarkland, however, the druglord tries to escape, while being transferred by two dudes. Transferred where? On who’s authority? And is shot after he shot one guard. Believable? The Ozarkland FBI was willing to go along with this?
Also, Javi’s mother having more pull than her brother re: prison shankings rings hollow. He had eyes everywhere even on the kids in the mausoleum with the shotgun. Doesn’t add up. As soon as he knew his sis was behind everything, he’d make the call to end her. His henchman (who was shot) would not have been doing Wendy’s bidding, scaring whatsherface. No way, no how. That’s fantasy.

So what episode did I miss that brought up Java’s hatred for his old professor? I didn’t understand that scene.

I legit don't get Cooper's play here. It's true Plot Induced Stupidity. The only way he reacted the way he did was because that was necessary for the plot to go down the way it went. As soon as Red said the name Andrew Kennison, of COURSE Cooper had to come clean. It's beyond ridiculous that he didn't. It just doesn't make any sense.
Plot Induced of course. That also explains why the all wise all knowing Red has to explain to Cooper the dolt why he should have figured out that he was targeted not by virtue of being a high up law enforcement person, but because he was associated with Red. GMAFB
It also makes no sense, and is inconsistent storytelling, when you portray Red as such a genius, who can find all glass topped safe houses, assemble tac teams, jet around the world, etc, yet cannot even pull a kidnapper van up to the post office and grab the lawyer and Cole as soon as they exit. I guess Weecha didn’t want to scratch the Benz paint because she could have easily steered in the motorcycle’s path. Why were they ducking in the first place? Red can’t afford bulletproof glass?
Nobody here mentioned panabaker and her hypocrisy. I guess like Ressler covering up murder, and Lizzie being a murderer, it’s old news already. Oh, and Red’s terminal illness.
Entertaining ? Meh. Predictable? Most assuredly.

Ressler yells "FBI" to Cole and Park for some reason had to follow with "Federal Agents" as if Cole and the viewers are too dumb to understand any of this! I guess Alina Park begged for more dialogue and this was the best the writers could come up with.
I’m pretty sure the writers wrote the dopey dialog without her ‘begging’. They kinda have a history on this show.

And you assumed Beth whined to Daddy.
We don't know that either.
Beth is a lot of things but a whiner isn't one of them.
Whined, complained, or simply told him. Semantics.
In the latest season, she told Rip the kid didn’t do everything she wanted, so Rip told him off. Sorry if you can’t see how she uses men to get her way.
I can.

No she didn't. We never saw her tell John anything and John never said she told him.
He figured out what happened because they were both at home and both came back from the barn with bruises.
You assume he figured that out. He never said that.

S10.E10: The Postman
in The Blacklist
So Red noshing at Harold’s as if nothing happened. Bullshit lines of Red’s killing spree at the post office “will be taken care of later”.
Just like Lizzie’s constant proclaiming that she was done with Red. Oh well, the end is near. Finally. Oy.
