1. Maybe it's childish, but... Oooh, Ressler got knocked out by a girl! The hand to hand on this show is just tops. It's the equal of ARROW, but where thatshow is more on the flashy side (no future pun intended) this is just down and dirty. Great stuff.
2. I really cannot tell if Red really cares about Liz or if he's playing her MORE than he already is. He's using her, but for sure with this Blacklist Gambit, but it's really unclear if he has a deeper attachment, something honest or true. Funny using the words "honest" in reference to Red, I know.
3. Zanetakos was another well cast Blacklister. I imagine her being like a down to Earth MCU Black Widow. If there is more to her and Tom I guess it'll come out in the future.
4. Apple Jack: Agent for the Advesary? Well, we know he's not American at least.
I like how this is all played out. So far, though Red has been key in saving lives and such, they aren't trying to convince us he's a good guy underneath it all or that this is all some noble crusade. It could be, but even after all the positive things he's done there is still an appropriate atmosphere of mistrust, and I'm happy Liz feels the same way.
