This guy????

Or him???

Does The Postman deal in rock hammers and movie starlet posters, by any chance?

Let me get this straight.  Guy gets convicted on proper evidence 30 years ago, but exculpatory evidence was withheld.  He spends all this time in a prison cell with a brilliant chemist, gets out, and wants to take his revenge by setting up an incomprehensibly complex system to deliver product by drone to the inmate chemist in order to make an extremely rare poison, and then builds a container to deliver it to the Federal Building where the old ADA now works.  Okay....I guess just shooting the prosecutor was not in the cards.

Sounds like the guards at that prison were somewhat less than competent, if they never saw a 1' drone flying around the complex.  And inmate Campos picked the best spot in his cell to hide the terribly dangerous compound - the A/C duct!

I loved it when Reddington pounced on Cooper by saying "You know more about Sanders than I do."  Good old Red, 10 steps ahead.  The thought occurred to me that he is playing another long con here, and grooming Dembe to take over the business after he's gone, with Agnes on line for the future.  Start with chess; it develops that instinct.

Where would the fun be in that?

I do find it odd that TPTB would throw in a filler epi considering this is all almost over.  I mean the only good thing is to see just how much Red continues to manipulate the team.  I did love him having the guy delivered to the black site though.  And what sort of prisons don't have some sort of awareness of their air space?

Also, do we think the guy Ressler's sponsoring just a guy who needs a sponsor or something else?

[paigow]

Cooper: Sorry Nelson, you are an accessory to multiple counts of murder and other felonies... but I will get your 30 year old murder conviction overturned... 

Nelson: I will kill you eventually...

[edhopper]

Innocent guy will kill an entire building of people to get one guy. Don't lift a finger for him Harold.

Also, Reseller and Co bust through just as he leaves cabin, because they never cover the other exits.

And, if poison is like Ricin, then it is toxic to the touch, so a gas mask alone won't save you.

They delivered the Postman to the Post Office.  Brilliant!

This episode was so .... dull.

Did we really need Cooper's backstory ?

Were the guards at the prison blind not to see that drone in broad daylight ?

I hope Ressler's sponsor duty leads to something -- otherwise it is just so much filler and no one cares about it.

Watching Agnes learning to play chess will be about as exciting as watching Agnes learn to bake a cake.  Yawn !!!

Still no sign or mention of the dogs, Robert Vesco's cat or Sierra the cat.

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.

Otto it has been so long, please remind me of the backstory of Sierra the cat. Thanks!

Sure thing @tvfanatic13

You may not remember but Lizzie thought that she had a half sister named Jennifer (since Lizzie was under the impression Reddington was both her father and Jennifer's father) and Jennifer had a cat named Sierra.  In Season 8 Episode 18 Jennifer was shot by the Protean -- who was actually aiming at Lizzie -- while they were sitting in a parked car and Lizzie decided to take the loooooong way to the hospital and Jennifer died along the way so they never went to the hospital.  Of course, Lizzie left Jennifer's dead body in the back of the car under a coat and left the car abandoned in a parking lot. She at least did tell Ressler where to find the body and offered to pay for the burial. 

Jennifer: "My cat. Sierra. You have to feed her."
Lizzie: "I'll take good care of Sierra, don't you worry. She'll be fat and happy by the time you come home."

But Lizzie never even went to Jennifer's apartment to take care of Sierra the cat.  Ever.

Which qualifies Sierra the cat to be added to the long list of abandoned and missing pets on this show.
