I really like Spader. Once I invest time in a show (like 2 seasons or more), I tend to stay with it no matter what. I do have my limits...I'm just not sure what they are yet. I still watch Supernatural for goodness sakes and that turned into a train wreck! You just reminded me that I wanted to check out the new MacGyver too. I was seen a few episodes of the old one but I was kinda young when it was on. A lot of ppl seem to think Red just told Kirk that to shut him up. It's a possibility. I guess I was just hoping that this whole paternity thing had FINALLY been figured out. Wishful thinking! I can say with certainty that he was there during the fire that night, I just don't know why!! The way he looks at Liz sometimes and the way he looked at Agnes, it seems like a proud Papa look. More wishful thinking?? I like your theory about some ordinary joe being her Dad. She seemed to like these guys with names like Raymond & Constantine. So if a new guy comes into the picture with dark hair & a name like Alastair or Maximus, he may be it!

I'm clearly in the minority here- but I still enjoy this show. It's not my favorite & it's not perfect by any means. When Kirk's wife jumped, that water didn't look too deep so I thought she died. If Ressler and Samar didn't see her floating, they probably would've said something. BUT we didn't see her dead so you never know. I hope she's dead for many reasons but mostly because I'm tired of her character. I'm glad squatter guy let Kaplan go. I was very confused to see her making dinner. I was hoping she wasn't gonna stay around there but then I wasn't sure if she had anywhere else to go. I thought it was squatter guy who picked her up. I really don't know how she'd get in touch with anyone else- I doubt that guy had a phone since he barely had a roof. But then again, who knows! Red seemed a little regretful before about Kaplan. I said before that I didn't feel like he really wanted to shoot her in the first place since he missed. I've never seen him miss. When he asked Dembe to forgive him, I wondered if he would really be that relentless in finding her and finishing the job. The biggest thing I've disliked about this show is that they've continually mindscrewed us with this whole paternity thing. I'm inclined to believe Red this time. Why would he lie to Kirk about being her father? If anything, you'd think Red would tell Kirk he's not Lizzie's father whether he really is or not. I do wonder why he's still keeping it from Liz. I know it's partly because he doesn't want his enemies to find out. But I wonder if it has anything to do with Liz's memories the night of the fire. The man who is supposedly Liz's father was yelling at Katarina. (Can't if he wouldn't let her go or what.) Liz then shoots that man. Was that Red? Or was that another guy who was nothing to Liz. We know Red was there- he has the burns. I just don't know what he was doing there or where he was in the house. Of course now we have another mystery that will probably take another couple seasons to figure out. What did Red tell him?? What would have been big enough to stop Kirk from killing Red? Someone said that Red told Kirk that Katarina is alive. Maybe. I don't know though. Red didn't want him around Liz- I don't know if he'd give Katarina up like that since Red knows Kirk would search for her until he found her. But again, I don't know. I could be wrong.

I remember watching this show in the first season & thinking about how predictable it was. Red tells the task force about a Blacklister & they got after him or her & that was about it. Then when we found out about how the blacklisters all fit together. That was good. Tom being a bad guy....that was good. (I still don't much like him either. I really try to- but I can't.) The Cabal arc was good too. Not long after that though, it all started get so muddled together. It's been season after season of small hints here and there that may or may not have something to do with who Red is to Liz & why he cared about her so much. It kind of stopped being called "Blacklist" and started to be called "Saving Liz Keen". I wish they wouldn't have taken Liz off the task force......I'm sure they could've still made the show interesting. That's why the writers get paid the big bucks. This episode showed a lot of the reasons that the show went to crap. The task force is spending more resources on saving Liz Keen. She's still a top priority even though she's not even an agent anymore. Aram, Ressler, & Cooper are still up Liz's ass....and I don't get it. Then of course there's Tom being.....Tom. Liz seems to be able to adapt very quickly to every situation she's in. This past week she became a pilot. Not a very good one- but she's alive. I understand the way Red felt about Kaplan. But when he bitched that she presumed to know what was best for him (or something like that) I could've screamed. What has he been doing to Liz this whole time? He has not told her the truth because he thinks he knows what's best. He always thinks he knows what's best for Liz. I really like Red too- probably because I like James Spader so much. But that's annoying! If Red meant to kill Kaplan when he shot her, I'm really going to be pissed off. Like I said before, there's NO WAY he'd miss- especially from that close. I rarely stop watching a show that I started watching from the beginning. (I still watch Supernatural for goodness sakes.) I don't think this show has gotten THAT bad- but it's definitely on its way. They NEED to start answering some damn questions & they need to stop doing the same things over & over again. I doubt they will though.

As I watched the episode tonight, I wondered why I tend to side with Red on most things. I think that it may be because I've never really like Liz at all. Or maybe I'm just a bad person- I don't know. I do know that Red IS a criminal & an all around BAD man. I know he's done a lot to put Liz's life in danger. Kaplan said that she has been watching over Liz for a long time so Red has been there for a long time too. I said it before- I'll say it again. I think Liz would've been screwed either way. Whether someone found out that she meant something to Red or they realized who her parents were & what her name was, someone would've come after her sooner or later. And without Red there, she would've been dead. He's put her in danger- but he's gotten her out of danger too. Like I said, if she wanted to do what was best for Agnes, (Tom as the daddy is a little questionable) she had every right to get away from Red. (I don't think that she really had to fake her death to get away from him though.) My problem is her wanting away from him until she needs his help. Whether he's the reason she needs that help or not. I knew all episode that Mr. Kaplan was a goner. She even knew it. In that world, a betrayal like that is a death sentence- no matter the reason. He also couldn't trust her. I wish that he would've let her just walk away. But she knew too much about him, he couldn't let her live. But he did he? I mean, Raymond Reddington wouldn't miss a shot like that- especially since that shot wasn't that far away. Did he let her live on purpose? It didn't look like it but I don't know. I'm just as confused about this whole Kirk thing. Is he her Dad? Or is HE just a man who dated her Mom & got obsessed with Liz? Why did he want Tom dead? I don't know what's going on. Why didn't HE try to go after her before? Who was Sam, the man that Liz called Dad? What about the fire? Where did those memories of the fire come from & why does Red have those burn scars? I'm still not sure who Red is to Liz. So confused. There's a lot still unanswered and these writers insist on bringing people onto the show that come with a whole new list of questions. Ugh!!!

He didn't hire Tom to "spy" on Liz- he didn't need to. He hired him to make sure she was ok. I admit- there are a lot of things Red has done to put Liz in danger. Red was/is not the only criminal in Liz's life. It was only a matter of time for someone to figure out who her Mom was and go after her. Or for someone to find out that she's the only thing Red really cares about- and killed her to get to him. I know there's a lot of things he's done that has put her in more danger. This didn't start when Red hired Tom or when Red turned himself in that first episode. It started the night of the fire. Red is a criminal- he is a bad guy. My biggest issue isn't her trying to get away from him. It's that she uses him when she needs him- then treats him like crap when she doesn't. That's what she seems to do though, she seems to be fine with other people risking their lives for her without any appreciation. Look at the task force. In Red's world, I don't know how he lets Kaplan live when she went behind his back with something that big. He can't trust her & without trust, she's (again, in Red's world) useless. I like her too- I hope that he realizes that she was only trying to do what was best for Liz & Agnes & lets her walk away.

Well I wouldn't call the premiere bad- but I wouldn't call it good either. There were some parts that made me laugh they were so predictable. I didn't need to watch the scenes with Tom to know that nothing was going to happen to him. I really, REALLY wish they'd just kill him already. I don't like him at all & don't get why others do. I also hate that Liz & Tom want to get away from Red so bad- till they need their asses saved. Then they're all about him helping. That's starting to get old. Without Red, Liz would've been dead a long time ago. What's the harm in spending some time with him a few times a year? I don't blame Samar for being hurt & angry about the situation. I mean, they did everything to save her before even risking their own lives. Liz just takes & takes from the people who care about her. But this is nothing new- it began last season. I'm guessing that Kaplan won't survive. I feel bad- I really like her. But he can't trust her now & I think he'll kill her. I hope I'm wrong & he just tell her to leave. I am glad it's back on & it was great to see Dembe. I like Dembe. I'm anxious to see where this story is going, who Kirk is, & what happens when Red does get Liz back.

I didn't like the cliffhanger for a different reason than most. I just wanted to get it over with. I've read the comics & I hated this part. I get people being angry- but Gimple said that they're going to make it up to us & I'm willing to give him that chance. I'm not defending all of their decisions- because I've wondered what they were thinking a few times. But I think it would be difficult to make a show out of a comic book that so many people love. Everyone has an opinion about how it should be done- especially the more iconic scenes. Anyway, I definitely needed to try & find out who Negan killed because I need to prepare myself. I was one of those idiots that tried to figure out who it is based on that last episode. I watched it over & over & watched the background, listened to his footsteps & tried to figure it out. But just couldn't do it. So, I had to wait until they could all be tracked. Based on that, I don't know why they couldn't just stay down south!!!!

I wasn't even going to watch but I wanted to see this reunion & my younger sister asked me to watch with her. The reunion wasn't what I thought it would be. It was kind of weird how they fit some of the characters into the storyline. Like Mo. And they couldn't show Emma & Spinner together once? I'm not an actor or a TV writer so I try not to comment too much on those kinds of things. But I have to say that the writing was so predictable, I knew what the characters were going to say. I even finished their sentences several times. It was corny at times too. The old Degrassi was able to approach these issues without being cliche or corny. I don't know why but I can't stand Maya. When Peter was explaining why more people liked Vijay's version of her song, he should've told her that she needs to stop looking so constipated all the time. Do any of these characters remind you of any of the old characters? For me, Grace kind of reminds me of Alex. Hunter & Yael is like Eli & Claire. Winston is like Wesley. Baaz kinda reminds me of Connor a little bit too. Maybe the Next Generation has me spoiled- I don't know. As much as I complained about it, it still had me wanting to know what's going to happen next (we watched the whole season in one evening). I'll definitely be watching when it comes back- I really want to know who died. (Fingers crossed that it's Maya.)

Includes Spoilers from season premiere & from commercials for next week. This show is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. I heard that HAHN is the highest rated show on OWN. It is a good show in a soap opera-ey kind of way. I missed Renee Lawless in this episode as well- Catherine is my favorite character. The one I feel the worst for is Benny. He's the one who keeps getting shit on! And he's one of the only ones trying to do things the right way! Now Jim is going to take the houses Candace bought as well as the tow yard. Who gets the worst of that? Benny. Because he's not going to have a place to live & neither is Hannah. No one is going to be able to get custody of Quincy Jr. now. I'm anxious to see what happens when Candace realizes that she isn't going to get her loan. I don't know why Candace didn't tell Benny about War in the first place. Now his tow yard partner guy knows so he should tell Benny. Hopefully. I LOVE Jeffery standing up for himself. Veronica is such an evil bitch!!!! David is a good guy- he needs 2 remove himself from Veronica's ass. Maggie's death may finally wake his ass up! Hopefully. Now that Veronica knows about Quincy, she's going to try & make Jeffery go back home 2 Melissa. I'm glad he's using that creep cop to his advantage. I have a better solution though. Candace & Jeffery should just kill Veronica & bury her next to Quincy. That would solve their problem & mine because I wouldn't have to see her disgusting face anymore!

I don't think that she was feeding them dinner....I think one one of them said they were hungry. In the scenarios I mentioned, they're fed dinner at dinner time. But there were times where a kid would say they were hungry. They'd get something small tho- like yogurt or PB&J. I was just saying that situations are different- especially for single parents who are doing their best. As I said before, I see these "moms" hurt & kill their kids on the news & I just don't think that getting kids to bed late a few times a year isn't the worst thing. I swear that I'm not tying to stick up for Leah here. I don't know if she gets them to bed late all the time- but if we saw her do it on the show, I bet she's done it more that a few times and I don't like that. She loves those girls- but she just doesn't think. I wish she'd have someone other than her mom to get advice from- she should take parenting classes. A lot of parenting classes. I do apologize though because I took it a little bit personal & I shouldn't have. I do think we agree on one thing: that Jenelle is an awful person & an even worse mom

If someone posted about this, I apologize. I was watching WEtv when I saw a commercial for a show called Million Dollar Matchmaker with Patti Stanger (not to be confused with Millionaire Matchmaker on Bravo). It's supposed to premiere July 8th at 10pm. Anyway, not paying much attention, I saw someone who looked like Farrah. I searched it, and of course the fame whore is going to be on there. This poor Patti woman is going to have a hell of a time, how do you match crazy?? I'm not sure who else will be there, but here's a link with a video (that I didn't watch). http://www.wetpaint.com/farrah-abraham-patti-stanger-million-dollar-matchmaker-1499422/ If she does get matched, maybe she can stay on the same network & go on Marriage Boot Camp. (They're not all married & they pretty much take whoever! If there's nothing else on, I may check this out. It should be entertaining.

My Mom has done that & in no way is she a terrible shitbag mother or a selfish garbage mom. Look, it's not like I wanna defend Leah here. I've said several times that she's not a good Mom. I understand why a lot of ppl would think certain things are bad. In the big picture, compared to the things Jenelle & Farrah have done, & compared to the things that I see on the news, I just don't think getting your kids food at 11:00pm on a school makes someone a bad mom. Like I said, it's not like the ppl I know have done it all the time, and neither has my mom. But no one is perfect. I don't have kids- but if/when I do, there may be a chance that I'd do the same thing at some point. I've only seen Leah do that one time. Reasons ppl I know have done this: My friend Jen is a single mom who has to work late a few nights a week. Sometimes her kids are with their Dad & sometimes her mom watches her kids, & usually has them bathed & fed, but there have been a few times that her back bothers her & she just couldn't. So Jen has had to hurry home & do it every once in a while. (Few times a year.) With my mom, it was the same kind of deal, she worked late. Or maybe we got caught up at my Grandmas place. Then there's the times my friend Casey who has been up till like 10 or 11 trying to help with homework (one of her kids have a hard time.) There are times that things just happen. Like my friend Sterling has gotten home late from picking his kid up from her mom. Sometimes people lose track of time. My friend usually lets her kids stay up late on their birthdays. There's times that we've been playing a game with my sister or watching a movie & it's late when she gets to bed. When my sister & brother were younger, I remember them saying they were hungry before bed (probably just to stay up longer). We never wanted them to go to bed hungry. Now someone is keeping their kids up all the time just for the hell of it, then that's a problem. But there are times that it happens.

I think we saw her cook at 11 at night once & I don't think it was dinner- I think it was that the girls are hungry & I don't think that makes her an addict. I know a lot of people that have gotten their kids into the bathtub late- or cooked late for their kids- including my Mom. And it was on a school night. It didn't happen all the time- but it happened. You can get definitely get addicted to the drugs you're prescribed- that's how A LOT of addicts get started. I'm just saying that there are different ways to get addicted. Some people take anxiety meds (Xanax) to help them sleep. When they take them long enough- as prescribed- sometimes they can't sleep without them. Sometimes it doesn't have to do with the high. Opiates can definitely make you very drowsy- especially if you're not used to taking them. But with opiates and anxiety meds, the high is different as well as the way the person acts. Watching her, it seemed to me that it was anxiety meds. But I feel like she was taking what was prescribed to her. I don't know for sure what she was taking, why she was taking it, or if she was taking it as prescribed. I wish someone close 2 her would come out & tell us the truth. Not just about this either! It would probably take a full hour just for that!

There is a chance that she may have gone for counseling, some kind of inpatient thing. Rehab can have a lot of different meanings. I think she was overwhelmed. 3 kids & twiced divorced at her age. I know it was her fault that these things happened- but that doesn't make things any less overwhelming. People go to drug rehab for different reasons, it doesn't always have to do with getting high. Some people get to where they can't sleep without their meds. She could've gotten used to using her anxiety meds & had a hard time functioning without them. mean, she could have gone to rehab because she liked the high she felt.....I don't know how you can enjoy a high when you're that tired- that's why I don't think she was using opiates, i think it was anxiety meds & I don't think she bought the drugs off the street. Not that it makes it any better. It could've been that her dose was too high- but she waited for a bit to get it lowered because she did like how she felt. I don't know, she just don't seem like an addict. I do have some experience in this kind of thing- but I could be wrong.

Now Jenelle is blaming MTV for making her look like a terrible Mom. NOTHING can make her look like a GOOD mother- because ur not! What in Jenelle's tiny brain made her think that it was ok for her to tell Jace those things? He's going to be so fucked up, he'll need some intensive therapy. It's not going to get any better either. She's gonna keep putting shit into his head until he's old enough to realize how horrid of a person she is. He also has Teen Mom 2 reruns to look back to if he wants to re-live the dysfunction. Teen pregnancy is down because of this show- so I feel like it should keep going. But I'm about ready to go to one of those petition websites & start one to get Jenelle off the show. I'd want Barb to stay so she can have the extra money....and so we can see Jace. Before, I never followed any of Leah's social media so I never knew about the shit she talked about people. Now that I do, I'm not a big fan of her. She is the reason for a lot of her problems. But I root for her because of her kids. I'm glad to see that she's doing better. I don't believe that she's a drug addict. I believe that her doctor perscribed her meds & either they were too strong- or she was taking too many. She looks better. 2 episodes ago, she was actually making beds! Before, she'd be sleeping. I feel like she did good with BackpackGate. That shows maturity. The hot dog thing wasn't good but I don't think that it was laziness. A lot of us learn to be parents from our own parents & I can see Mama Dawn doing many of the things Leah does- including feeding her kids raw hot dogs. Leah isn't Mom of the year & she has a LONG, LONG way to go- but I feel like she does love her kids. And I don't think she'd do anything to hurt them. Lincoln has the same emotionless stone face his Mom has. Isaac is such a sweet kid- I hope that Lincoln doesn't bully him. Anyone else get the feeling that Kail just kept Javi around as long as she has to help with the kids?? I mean, she hasn't said anything about missing HIM- but she keeps bitching about how hard it is to take care of 2 kids on her own. Javi is needy & he'd drive me crazy, but he deserves better than that. I love Cole & Chelsea. She's definitely the best Mom on Teen Mom 2 & probably Teen Mom as well. I know she made a bad decision getting pregnant with Adam's kid & trying to keep him around after she had Aubree. But I don't blame her for wanting to keep her family together. As kids, a lot of us think about having families when we get older. That fantasy usually never consists of our baby daddy leaving us. I don't think it was Adam she wanted- but the fantasy. I think Chelsea is pretty. (If only she'd stop talking in that voice.) She probably could've started dating some time ago- but she was picky & she shoulda been because of Aubree. Leah, Jenelle, Amber, & Farrah should watch Chelsea & take notes.
