S08.E20: Godwin Page

[Gemini Gipsy]

Remember the good old days of this season when we didn't have to endure the princess of petulance? Damn, I miss those days. I am so over Liz and her mommy issues, Red has been more of a father to her than her "mother" was. Hell, he could be my wanna-be-daddy any day!

 

If I don't get some solid answers next episode, I'm flipping tables.

 

This is crazy, why am I even doing this to myself? Sigh. Oh yes, James Spader. You, devil, you.

Almost any clip from Fail Army would be apropos.... for "Blacklist " + "Showrunner"

Spader is SO good as Red. It's worth it for him still, but yeah, so much nonsense around Red.

I've been telling myself this same thing every week for the last 3 seasons. I guess I like being disappointed. Last weeks episode gave me hope of some answers. I fully expect to be disappointed again.

But we saw a building!  That isn't exciting to you?  Maybe next episode we'll see inside!  I'm on the edge of my seat!

Like I said...I have hope. A very, very, very small glimmer of hope but not to the edge of my seat yet. 😁

A few points about this episode. I think ........

. Mr. Kaplan is not dead.

. Mr. Kaplan is Liz's mother

. Why did Red shoot Mr. Kaplan if she is Liz's mom? It was an imposter that had plastic surgery to look like the real Mr. Kaplan. Red found out and tried to take her out.

. The above makes sense because why would Red try to kill the real Kaplan even if she was to tell Liz the truth? Mr. Kaplan had been with Red for a long, long time.

Hopefully we will find out next week!

I forgot I watch this show again and was reminded by the joyous news of no more Lizzie. 

I'm only to the first commercial of this episode and have rolled my eyes and told Liz to fuck off once and now I'm laughing hysterically at the stupid cell in the Post Office being the safest place to keep Liz.  How many times has that thing been breached?  The Post Office is about as secure as a firewall set up by my mom.  Actually, the Post Office might not be the problem, it's put at a major disadvantage by the idiots working there.

And we don't even get to the next commercial before there's a breach.  Surprise, surprise.  I do like that they didn't fuck around with trying to open the cell and just lifted the whole thing out the roof.  I'd like to think this is Red, it has a certain panache.   I'm sure no one is shocked that Aram broke and helped Liz make a call.  I am surprised that she didn't appear to be playing him and it didn't bite him in the ass, but there's still plenty of show left.

"Extracting Keen from the Post Office took planning, skill, and precision."  Sure, you run the least secret, most breached, black site in the world, but keep telling yourself that Harold.  I've been to "underground" sushi joints that are harder to find and get into than the Post Office.  

Of course Liz is fucking with Red's plans.  I'd like to assume that at least Dembe, if not Red, planned on Liz fucking shit up and they actually wanted it to go down that way to lull Godwin into a false sense of security.  Put in 2 trackers, let Liz hear about 1, so the other is still there when Liz inevitably helps Godwin remove the decoy.  

So the task force is finally being disbanded, but not because of incompetence.  I am guessing it won't actually happen.

Red needs to up his game if he really didn't count on Lizzie fucking up his plans.  Not that it mattered in the end.
