I just watch each episode as a separate story, the twist and turns solely purposed to keep us guessing, as the writers try to figure out about what.
Having just watched the first episode of this year's The Newsroom, as well as a very excellent season of Homeland, it is even more obvious that what we have here is mediocre acting (other than James), and sloppy writing.
Still is entertaining enough to watch for most of us. If you only watch stuff that are well done all though then your tv viewing will be very limited.
For what it's worth, I spent four months on that ship ... and never told her about us, tom talking to Red. What us? I don't know what is between them.
I think it's just that Tom and Red both being involved in espionage and criminal enterprises probably crossed paths at one point in their past, and they were both doing things they didn't't want Liz to know about.
Tom was working for Red. And it looked like there at the end of that episode, Red gave Tom money. Or was it fake ID and airplane tickets to get the hell out of Dodge?
I seemed to have missed part of the episode last night. I wasn't sure when it would start and I tuned in and Red was already in the prison warning them about the upcoming takeover. What happened prior to this?
Yeah.. and then they have to somehow lessen the tension by showing you coming attractions of Thursday's episode.
I feel the whole Red and Lizzie mystery relationship is going to be a huge letdown. They are milking that way too much. Unless the reveal is so spectacular, I feel they need to move on to more complex / deeper plot points.
It will be very interesting to see how Blacklist fairs on NBC's new sitcomless-for-the-first-time-in-years Thursday night. Next week "The Slap" debuts as the lead in, with "Allegiance" (an "Americans" wannabe with decent reviews) following Blacklist at 10pm. Blacklist is getting NCIS-sized ratings, but it goes up against "Scandal" on ABC, so there's probably going to be a lot of attention paid to DVR ratings.
