Just my 2 cents

It's ok my favorite Friday night go to show is all season long and probably in it's final season. The only way I'll probably tune in for a full episode is if my other show is not on or it's a rerun.

No big surprise about the bones. They've done the impostor thing a few seasons ago with Linus Roach, I think. He told Elizabeth on the very first episode that everything about him was a lie. They've pretty much alluded to this for the past whole 5 seasons. I think the biggest reveal was that Liz actually used half of her brain for a change. That was the big season ending shocker! I've never seen her more competent. It will be a first and probably a last.

I can't believe they gave this show a full season 6. If they give it a 7 I might actually jump off the nearest bridge. I guess it's not so bad I watch something else at the timeslot they've given it so I won't be seeing it.

Even that wouldn't do it. I've lost interest past the investment I put in with the beginning of season 1. I think this last episode will mark the end of watching it on a regular basis.

I don't know, but I can assure you it will probably take the entire 22 episode season to be revealed.

I can't be the only one that thought, "Isn't that the same breathing equipment Liz had earlier this season? I hope they cleaned that filthy, dusty thing off and it's taped away from Samar's mouth."

It shouldn't have been hilarious, but it was. It was like one of those children adventure books where they set out to do a task and everything goes wrong. It was ridiculous.

I was touched by Liz standing around at the hospital with her team watching over Samar. Oh yeah, that didn't happen. Can they make the character anymore self-centered and unlikeable. MB is by no means in the same acting league as James Spader so the least they could do is make her likeable. I'm so sick of those bones I could scream. And quite frankly if that idiot Liz went with Mr. Kaplan instead of getting out of the car last season she would have known the secret. It totally annoys me when they do this on tv. Anybody with a brain knows this is going to happen. I had a grandmother lose a ring while she was staying in a retirement community. We left it on her since her husband and my dad were there every day to with her, but them being men didn't notice although we kept asking about the ring. We later found out the thief was my dad's sister. Oh well, I guess we can say that Aram has truly graduated and become an FBI agent. Ressler kills someone and then hires a cleaner that blackmails him. Liz is chronically stupid. If that doesn't make him a valuable member of their team I don't know what will. I can only deduce they're in contract negotiations with Mozham Marno and I hope to see the only competent agent on the team that isn't originally FBI.

You and me both!! Glad Danny didn't take Steve's advice on that one. I'll be watching this episode again. I'd also like to give thanks to the writer's for having Danny take his shirt off for a change. (Yes, I know this is shallow, but how many seasons have you guys gotten to watch women walking around in bikini's and push-up bras?) I like that Steve is realizing he needs to slow down a little. It's great to see him in action, but I don't have to see that in every episode. My thoughts on this is that they really didn't know where to go with Adam. I hear his story will take front and center in the final episode of the season without him, although I'm not sure. I hope this is not a spoiler. If it is, I apologize. Since they have been so persistent on the restaurant storyline, how about having Adam help in that capacity. Surely, he can budget and balance books, money, and resources. From what they alluded to and what little I can remember, Adam started out as the legitimate, educated, business man of the family. He stayed away from his father's business until Wo-Fat killed him and Adam wanted vengeance.

So I guess the find-Tom's-killer storyline is done now. *yawn* Thanks, tornadoes, for taking a twirl through the Midwest so I didn't have to watch this entire episode. Instead I got to see Ghost Whisperer reruns, which actually were pretty good. Hey writers, that would be a good storyline here: Ghost Tom comes back but can only be seen by ... dogs? Unfortunately, we'll have to hear her use Tom's name again as an excuse to go searching for the bag. It was such a touching moment remembering all the love Liz had for Tom when Reddington congratulated her on Garvey. I found it even more touching when she visited Tom's grave, much like she did a few months ago before she left for Alaska to tell him she had caught the man that destroyed their family. It was quickly followed by a brief stop to see Agnes the beloved child they both shared together. I'm sorry I must have gotten this show mixed up with any other normal television show logic. I mean for a man she loved so much when Red congratulated her I expected her to shrug her shoulders and then go into some conversation that centered on her and her needs. I mean I would think after hobbling to Tom's grave, cane and all, lying beside it crying about how she was having a hard time without him we'd have gotten a 30 second brief moment of emotion. Not only does she seem to be doing well without Tom and the kid, she actually looks prettier and her hair has never looked better.

Ian Garvey himself appears to be permanently concluded. Lost for however many seasons it was on. I started watching towards the middle of season 1 and stopped in the middle of season 3.

Filler episode, but had some fun elements.

It wouldn't be the first time this show did that with a storyline or a character. I can think of at least a couple of actors they've made regulars and then had nowhere to go with their storylines and characters.

It's just my opinion, but the angst stuff is no longer cute when you're pushing 40 or older and especially on a procedural show. It was nice for the fans of Catherine and MB to see her again, but I don't understand the need to bring her back for only one episode a year, unless they are working around her schedule. At the least PL has another show that films on the mainland that her character could be used in more if she doesn't have time to make the flights to film regularly in Hawaii. I sometimes wonder if the EP and writer's know what direction to go in, but I have to say this season has been entertaining and I've enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I guess having the two recruits has renewed my interest in the show. I thought I would be less interested with Chin and Kono leaving, but I'm more interested this season. I don't know if they will be renewed for another since they are probably in contract negotiations, but I'll see if I'm still as interested next season provided it's renewed

Now that you mention it, you make a good point.

Is this Dr. Nick? The one that proposed to Lizzie ages ago and she turned him down, only to show up at her apartment and find Tom in the kitchen making coffee in his underwear? The same guy she turned down, but called to save an international criminals life. Of course he screwed his self the moment he said he had medical school loans to pay off and wouldn't save Reddington without the money. He took and we see where that got him. "Best Friend", I'd rather be an enemy of Liz and Tom.

My thoughts exactly. As a matter of fact that was my take from her facial expression as she held the loose diamonds.

Everybody is really upset about the Danny story. I definitely understand why it was poor judgement. However, would today's 42 year old Danny with a teenage daughter do the same thing today as he would have back then. He was a rookie and it was 20 years ago so I'm assuming he's in his early 20's at the time and still somewhat young and stupid. I lived in Newark around 10 years ago when they first started gentrification. I heard the city was way worse so I can only imagine what it was 20 years ago. When they asked the victim if she was okay and if she wanted to press charges her no should have been the end. The only thing that they could have done was give a business card with work contact number. If this were Newark 20 years ago rookie or not he wouldn't have had the time to help her anyway, because there was too many other issues in that city back then. Basically the help storyline if told correctly would have ended with her turning them away. They would have probably answered several more of her domestic disturbance calls until she either decided to press charges or they answered a homicide call after her husband finally beat her to death. Bottom line as some have said the writer's of the story were not women and honestly even if they were the EP and big boss is male. This show is not written in any way, shape, or form with female thoughts taken into consideration other than to have a "hot sexy male lead". Other than that Alex did a good job juggling 3 story's, one of which he was included in. Adam's story should come to an end soon since IAD left around filming episode 20 to go film that other CBS show he is on. It was an okay storyline, but I think they could have found a better way to weave Adam back into the show other than giving him his own task force. Tani and Junior's story was cute enough and we got a little more insight into their characters. Overall it was a pretty decent episode.

You left off being the first female president of the U.S. It's sure to come when the show ends and they flash forward 20 years into the future.

Yeah I kind of thought that the forensics team or someone more familiar with carefully preserving evidence would have done that. Oh well, that's 5-0.

It would be good just for once to see 5-0 do something and have to take the heat for it or for once be in the wrong about something. I understand the show is not written for complete realism, but it would for once change the show up a little. They do everything right and I'm sure they would redeem themselves, but it would be something different instead 5-0 being right all the time.

LOL. Please, never take me seriously when I write some of this stuff. I meant it sarcastically and not seriously. I suppose I should have mentioned that in my post. I do love the show and I realize some people do get annoyed by the way it is written. When I post something it is never to offend anyone. It's just an expression or opinion. This show is written for a little Friday night fun after a long week's work. The same goes for McGyver, although I don't watch it. If you really want something bordering on a more serious procedural that would be more like Blue Bloods, SWAT, SEAL Team, or Criminal Minds just to name a few. Peter Lenkov writes these shows with a little tongue in cheek fun and you can see this in some of his tweets, posts, and interviews. A lot of viewers do get upset for some reason because it borderlines on ridiculousness, but that's the way it's supposed to be and has always been written. He has at least a couple of episodes that deal with serious subjects every year. I've noticed for the majority of viewers they like it and always give those episodes praise, but they prefer the lighter shows.

Yes, of course he is because he's friends with 5-0 and that alone gives him a free pass. They have even given him his own assignment and allowed him to put together his own small task force, because this is so plausible. That part really made me laugh. He's hitting the wall with a hammer like he's really going to fix something and then starts talking about committing arson to two officers of law enforcement like it's no big deal and he does this or a normal basis. He did add the It was funny to see Steve totally nervous and freaked out for a change.

Yeah, I thought that was interesting too since Red seems to be well-versed in many things. I overlooked the Star Wars thing because I guess that was around the time of the Cold War and he was too busy to go to the movies. I found it extremely amusing that he could not charm the computer tech kid's mom and that he seemed to be intimidated and afraid of her. Seeing his discomfort around her made me laugh.

Although I gave up before it ended I expect it to be somewhat like Lost. I don't think anyone that watched all the seasons cared by the time they got the big reveal when it ended. From what I remember the 1st season made a big deal out of Raymond Reddington. He was an Annapolis graduate in the top of his class that was in Naval intelligence and was on his way to becoming the youngest admiral in history when he disappeared and then reappeared a couple of years later looking slightly different and selling U.S. intel. Cooper said that he was hunting the elusive Russian spy Seaduke when he was captured and almost tortured to death. I'm still wondering about that one. If he was supposed to be so super intelligent, why couldn't he ever find him, unless he wasn't supposed to because they were on the same side. I always thought if they were going to go with the impostor theory Red would have to be one of those low level employees that nobody noticed. I remember an episode when he and Liz needed to find out some intel and he went to the hotels janitors or some delivery person. She told him she hardly seen how he could help and Red told her that if you want to find out the best intel you find out from the low level employees, because they hear everything, but are ignored because they are deemed insignificant.
