Wow. What a waste of an hour! And how does Lizzy know that the nosy judge may not be part of the group that wants The Fulcrum as badly as Red wants it? Yep, Lizzy, you suck indeed. James Spader deserves every dime of his paycheck. Without him this show would be totally unwatchable on so many levels. I guess that the main reason I'm still watching this show is to partake of the fun on this forum.

I've got an answer for you: Money. Money. & Money.

BRING BACK OUR GIRLS!!!

I kept thinking of that Geico ad where the young folks keep making stupid decisions while the serial killer is rolling his eyes and shaking his head at their stupidity. Why, oh TV Gods, do writers make their characters act so damn stupid??? Beth going back to her house, having only ONE guard, having Ben open the locked door to give the guard a heads up, Perry and the Private Eye sitting in the motel room talking instead of getting the hell out of there while the getting was good... No big shocker that Perry got killed. These shows are basically melodramas where you get punished if you do bad. Perry set the whole thing in motion, so he was doomed (and yeah, as somebody up thread said, "just when he was getting interesting"). And didn't Perry have drawings where he was strangling Beth? So when did he become "non-violent"? They'll probably tie up the Beth/Michelle psycho-stalker story fairly quickly. From what I've read, it's unlikely that this show is getting renewed - low ratings combined with critical razzing = cancellation.

Okay, so now I'm more confused than ever. Was Red's wife and daughter supposedly killed in the fire, and if so, what is the deal with Red's ex-wife and his daughter (who is apparently living under an assumed name somewhere) last season? And is The Blacklist still playing the stupid game of "is Liz Red's daughter"? And does any of it matter because apparently one has to check their logic and general intelligence at the door when watching this show.

At this point the biggest mystery to me is if Carver will still be alive by the end of the show. I think we can eliminate any of the Solanos as the murderer. Ditto the woman and young guy who work at the newspaper. Jack wasn't it, and I doubt it was Chole's boyfriend either. Who else is there? Elly - no. Creepy Vince & creepier Susan? Maybe, but probably too obvious. Vulture out-of-town newspaper woman. Nah. Psychic Guy - doubtful. I've got my eyes on Tom, Elly's husband Whatsisname, Joe? and Creepy Priest Paul. Oh yeah, and then there's Gemma, but I doubt that she's the guilty party. I really liked where somebody above said that Tom could've killed Danny because he wanted his phone. Murders have happened over less! But I think that Tom knows something if he isn't the killer, and was trying to run away to take off with the crazy hiker guy.

Did anybody catch the kind of throw away line from The Mombassa Cartel where when Red wants Lizzy to meet Peter Fonda he says something to her that Peter Fonda goes out with women who look like her, and then Lizzy says something and Red says something to the effect that the last woman Peter Fonda went out with looked more like him (Red) then her. Could have this been some kind of "clue" about a resemblance between Lizzy and Red?
