Chaos Theory October 30, 2015 Share October 30, 2015 This show may not be the best written or even the best acted but it may be one of my favorites because it is just so much fun. I mean really trolling for ships. What are Red and Lizzie anyway? Father/Daughter, May/December or a little of both? For that kind of money I am half tempted to kill Agent Keen myself. Dembe to the rescue....that was a hell yeah moment if I ever saw one....Bye Peewee nice knowing ya. Ahh kids they grow up so fast. One day they are playing in the park and the next day they are setting up hits on suspected terrorists. I am really enjoying Red and Lizzie on the run and hope it continues for the whole season. Hell I hope it continues longer then that. The show has never been better. 1 3 Link to comment

norask October 30, 2015 Share October 30, 2015 (edited) Finally! Red admitting there's someone better than him. It was great to watch him trying to keep up for once. I love me some Red but it gets hard to sympathize with a character who's invulnerable all the time. This week he was on the backfoot and it was great watching him, having to come up with plans on the fly to protect Liz. And he dropped that guy cold! It's always nice to remember how utterly ruthless he is. Dembe doesn't need anybody to save him. He saves everybody. Red's relationship with Dembe is one of the best things about Red. And Ressler! You don't do anything by half-measures, do you? Everybody and their mother has been wondering which side he is on and he does in front of a Presidential Commission with the whole world watching. But then it came back to bite him in the ass. Now he has to deal with the Director one on one. And his confession to Aram about how he scared he is of losing Liz. It was so sweet. So now we have three men who are in love with our Lizzie. This is not going to end well. Revan(not sure of the spelling) catching them in a hug - one of the funniest moments in the show for me. And NA meetings! Good for you! But I'm guessing this is how the Cabal figured out his weakness - the one Connelly used to threaten Liz with. David Strathairn finally had something to do and he was fantastic. If I didn't know any better, I'd have believed him. But how the hell did he maneuver himself into being the thorn in Ressler's side. The NSA is in cahoots with him, isn't she? Solomon was finally not all talk. But it was convenient that he was the one that got away. Finally all the taskforce members had something to do. Aram was great. Samar didn't have as much but still an improvement on last week's episode. All in all it was a better episode than last week, more balanced. I didn't even mind that Liz had the least amount to do. Edited October 30, 2015 by norask 6 Link to comment
Iguana October 30, 2015 Share October 30, 2015 Dembe walking into the airplane hanger like a wounded tiger and just laying waste to the cabal's flunkies may just be my favourite "hell yeah!" moment of the series. Damn, that was good. And I loved how Red wasted no time on tormenting Paul Reuban's character, even though he betrayed Red, just a quick bullet to the head so Red could get over to Dembe right away.

With all of Red's resources surely he could come up with something better than a box of hair colour from Walgreens and a hoodie... This. It reminded me of Prison Break, when the boys put on sunglasses as disguises as they walked all around crowded downtown areas. It bugs me to no end that Lizzie's long blond hair is sticking out everywhere from under the hoodie. If she isn't doing to cut it off and put on a short red wig, at least put it in a ponytail and tuck it down your collar so it isn't flashing in the sun for everyone to see. I really couldn't with the chase after the gun maker. Both he and Liz were shooting at each other, then she chases him out the window and neither of them have a gun? Maybe that explains why he didn't shoot her head off as she climbed up the side of the building that he was standing on top of. It would have been an easy peasy prairie dog shot. Yeay, the cleaner woman showed up. Too funny, she was calling for more supplies to get rid of Dembe's mess. I REALLY do not understand the story line with Disguise Tom and the rich bachelor guy. Why is Tom hooked with him? Why is Tom now his bodyguard? Can't figure that out. Help. Aram was the best this episode. I'll let him join the cast of my Red/Ressler/Dembe show. 2 Link to comment
tanita October 30, 2015 Share October 30, 2015 If I'm not mistaken,the rich guy is connected to the Russians who are harboring Karakurt. He double-crossed them when he won an underground boxing match that he should have thrown and they are after him. How Tom is going to get from protecting him to Karakurt is anyone's guess. Man, reading the comments here I must be like the last poster here who doesn't hate Liz or wants her of the show. I feel like I'm in the OUAT thread listening to all the hate for my fave Regina. And that "ship tease" is proof to me that the writes still haven't decided what the "connection" between Liz and Red is. 4 Link to comment

thuganomics85 October 31, 2015 Share October 31, 2015 No surprise, Dembe is the man and is able to struggle off the gun shot wound for a few hours (?), in order to heroically save the day like the badass he is. I just wish he got to finish off Paul Reubens character himself, but I guess Red being the one to do it, is a close second. But I really do think the Red/Dembe relationship is one of the best things about this show. When he isn't doing his evil sadistic things, I see that Mr. Solomon apparently spends his free time on message boards and Tumbler, trying to decided if he's on Team Father/Daughter or Team Romance for Red and Lizzie. For the sake of keeping myself from throwing up, I certainly hope it's more father and daughter. Really don't want any Red/Lizzie hook-ups. The Tom stuff is fun, but it does feel like it's in it's own little world, and I"m waiting for it to get connected to the main plot soon. David Strathairn's Director worming his way into the FBI is intriguing, and might finally let him shine more (I mean, he's good here, but he is way more capable then the material he has been given.) Obviously, Ressler isn't liking this, and I suspect neither will Samar or Aram. Actually, I'm worried for the latter because if The Director finds out Aram has been in contact with them, I don't want to know what he'll probably try and do. 3 Link to comment
tanita October 31, 2015 Share October 31, 2015 IDK, I feel that the Director would have worked better as a character if we didn't know from the get go that he is the head of Cabal. He could have worked a bit more with some ambiguity. 1 Link to comment

I feel like I'm in the OUAT thread listening to all the hate for my fave Regina. And that "ship tease" is proof to me that the writes still haven't decided what the "connection" between Liz and Red is. You can sit next to me on both accounts. I actually really like Liz (and for that matter Regina). I don't think the show would work at all without her. I am not sure where all the hate for the character (or actress) comes from but everyone has the right to their opinion and mine is that I think Season 3 Elizabeth is awesome and I like that the show is taking her down a very dark path that she might not be able to come back from even if Red and the others are able to clear her name of the bombing there is plenty she is guilty of regardless. As for the ship tease. I found it hilarious because I saw it as less a tease and more a reaction to the two sides of the argument. What are Red and Elizabeth to reach other? There is a large fandom who insists they are a pseudo or even legit Father/Daughter pairing there is an even larger one that says they have a May/December romance going. Could the answer actually be a little of both? Edited October 31, 2015 by Chaos Theory 2 Link to comment
saber5055 October 31, 2015 Share October 31, 2015 I give credit, BIG credit, to Red for just shooting PeeWee without launching into some long and drawn-out soliloquy first. I do like a man of definite action. If Solomon had practiced that when he was going to torture Lizzie, the ending to this group meeting would have been a bit different. People have to learn to just shut up. (Although I guess that's on the writers, giving them some sort of convention for explanation. But remember writers, we watch these shows as if they are real!) I thought we were long past the "Is Red Lizzie's father" trope of S1. Thanks a lot, Solomon, for dragging that old dead horse back for people to beat some more. David Strathairn's Director worming his way into the FBI is intriguing, and might finally let him shine more Gosh, Strathairn just SITS there and commands the scene. Kudos to that actor. 1 Link to comment
tanita October 31, 2015 Share October 31, 2015 IDK, I think that "Liz, I am your father" ship has sailed a long time ago. He either thinks he ruined her life somehow and feels duty bound, or was in love with her mother, or something like that. If he was her dad, we would have gotten the answer by now. And he was supper pissed at Tom for weaseling his way into her life and marrying her. I think he still resents him for it - big time. What that means in the long run, a "May-September" thing or not, is anyone guess. Strathairn is a great actor, but I'm getting nothing from his performance here. It could have been anyone else and I wouldn't have noticed. He is coming of rather one-note to me. I hope we get more quality from him. Link to comment

Danielg342 November 1, 2015 Share November 1, 2015 I think if Tom had a show where he'd go around hunting bad guys I'd watch every week. Ryan Eggold is just a treat to watch, because he can convey so much with so little- he can go from charming and personable to menacing and threatening without having to really change the tone of his voice or his demeanour. He's the ultimate con man, and it's a ton of fun. Can we just spin off Tom and forget this merry band of losers once and for all? Well, okay...the merry band had a decent go of it tonight. Ressler was finally caught having to admit that he believes Lizzie is innocent, and that's all the World Government (that's what I'm going to call The Cabal now...because "The Cabal" is a stupid name) needs to back him into a corner. He knows the World is going to double-cross him and use the information to continue framing Liz...so how he'll finagle himself out this one will be interesting. I also quite enjoyed Red being on the back foot, even if none of it was really well explored. He didn't sense that Vargas was compromised. Wendigo shot his transport team. He blabbered and begged to Matias Solomon like a baby. The Dembe Ex Machina needed to come in and save him and Liz. This was probably the weakest Red has been since "Anslo Garrick", and boy was that fun. The Wendigo storyline was pretty good too. I didn't see the weaponmaker- David Fierro, the second Gotham actor used by the show after J.W. Cortes' appearance last season- sabotaging Wendigo for his own gain. I also didn't see the kid from the beginning of the episode being the real mastermind behind Arioch Cain. How old was she? 14 maybe? In any case, she's at least the youngest Blacklister since Ivan. In any case, Olivia Boreham-Wing was pretty engaging tonight- this won't be the last you'll hear from her, I'm sure of it. I also wonder if the other names on the Arioch Cain site will mean anything. There was Charles Jeffreys, Antonio Thompson, Rachel Jaros and Casey Madigan. Something tells me I've been made aware of Madigan and Jeffreys before, although that could just be my mind playing tricks on me. I also notice that Thompson is Canadian- which brings strong allusions to real life NBA players Anthony Bennett (Cavaliers) and Tristan Thompson (Raptors). So maybe Arioch Cain is also Steve Nash...hmmmnnnn. Only real negatives I can say is that I'm still souring on Solomon- as much fun as Edi Kathegi is having playing him, it's a bore knowing he's one-dimensional. Give me some angle- if he's not there for Reddington (which is still possible), make him there for Ressler. I'm tired of one-dimensional baddies. Which brings me to the World Government- it's boring knowing they're just "in it for evil", because no one's like that. I also really wondered how Peter Kotsiopolos had any idea that Lizzie had claimed she was "Masha Rostova" at the Embassy- he wasn't there, and that kind of proclamation wouldn't be on an official report, would it? Especially considering Ressler's been hiding things from him. Not bad tonight. Not a bellwether either but strong. 4 Link to comment

If Solomon too joins in, it has the potential to be very compelling, putting Ressler at the forefront of the war in a way that was never done before.

Tom is totally unconvincing as the thug. He's creepy and weirdy and serial killer-ish, but the in your face thug? He's as menacing as Asher Sutton at a ballroom dance off (well maybe Asher slays the competition with his saucy samba and rumba, who knows). The whole Tom/Matt/Jacob/Thing is TIRED. It doesn't work and it doesn't work because they're keeping a character when there is no real need for him to be kept. As for Ressler being Team Liz? No, Team Liz doesn't want a fair trial. Or a any trial. Team Liz wants her to be exonerated totally. So unless the Attorney General was wearing bullet proofs x 2 and/or it was his lookee-likee taking the bullet (which wouldn't surprise me, you'd get more plot sense in a Mexican soap opera), that can never happen. She point blank shot him against Cooper's warning. David Strathairn's bad guy is the only bad guy we need. Mr Solomon is now just a spare part. Shame. Link to comment
