NBC's ''The Blacklist''

[Kaleb]

I just guess they gonna completely ignore this scene from season 1

 

[Dark Raven]

So was Tom working for Redington? But that doesn't make sense, especially with that scene above where it was a private conversation and they didn't seem to know each other.

We got a sense that they knew each other ,at least cautiously aware of each others existence, but it wasn't like last nights episode where they seemed know each other pretty well compared the scene in episode 8 of season 1

I felt like the writers did a good job using what was essentially a mid-season finale to clean house. Berlin/Fitch and the various Blacklisters that have led to this point are all mopped up. When the show returns it can focus on the Cabal that Red has been at odds with for two decades and maybe start to dig more into what it was that made him disappear on that Christmas Eve.

The scene with Tom at the end was certainly intriguing and ensures Tom will be back, which is a good thing as the dynamic between him and Liz is good and there's a lot more they can do with the character now he's essentially a freelance espionage specialist.

This is gonna be good

Ron Pearlman cast as next mega villain

Perlman will appear as Luther Braxton, a meticulous thief who plans his international heists over the course of several months or years. The ruthless baddie creates great diversions and chaos to get what he wants — that is, until he faces off with Red Reddington

 

[Dark Raven]

Berlin seemed to be painted as this big villain, but he never really lived up to the hype at all. And he didn't seem to be any match for Reddington.

I'll watch Perlman in anything.

I like the sound of the character and the Pearl is always great, sounds like a fresh start for the show.

So why is the Blacklist taking a break now? It's still only mid November. When is it meant to come back?

it been replaced by State of Affair where the creators are the same as those of The Blacklist and it coming back during in February 1, which is also the same day as the Superbowl

 

[squeekness]

So according to their Facebook site, this will return on Super Bowl Sunday but then air regularly on Thursday night after that? Can they not decide where to out this?

I had no intention of watching this at all, had not even seen the trailer (thankfully so, it showed WAY too much) but our own dear ComicChick said it was worth checking out.

I LOVED IT TO IDDY BIDDY BITS! This was high concept done right, with crisp pacing, plot and dialog. I was afraid I would find too much fault with the female lead but she was great, showing intelligence, resolve, steel and vulnerability. If the writing of her character is consistent this could be a star making role.

I hope Joe C. can come back for important episodes to direct. This was so well done all around. It pains me to say it, but this primeire blew SHIELD out of the water quality wise overall.

Spader... Well I can't add more praise than what most have already heaped on him. Again, if they can keep the writing consistent, then Spader is going to knock it out the park each week, based on what he did in the pilot.

I do share the hope that the connection that Keen and Red seem to have should not be a familial one just because it is obvious and something we the audience have seen before. From what I've seen so far it looks like I will be sticking around to find out though.

i've never been in this thread before, but i'm glad you took me up on my recommendation

 

[ComicChick]

finally read through the whole thread

i've been watching this since day one. i do admit i liked season 1 a lot more than season 2 so far, and at first the bad guy of the week thing bothered me a little, until i realized i shouldn't have been looking at it that way and that they were all connected somehow.

here's hoping season 2 really picks up

 

[squeekness]

I just don't like all the jumping around of show nights. That's a great way to kill a show.

The show needed this trailer IMO after a poor first half of the season overall. It does seem similar to the other Die Hard episode they did but still very cool and with bigger looking action, plus Spader vs The Pearl!

 

[Jesse]

Episode 9 "Luther Braxton Part 1" Hell yeah Ron Perlman! James Spader was bad ass during the prison break. One hell of a cliffhanger.

 

[squeekness]

I'm always happy to see Perlman in anything. He was great as usual.

 

[Hunter Rider]

The show needed that episode, not only was it a kick-ass Die Hard style actioner, but it felt like a bit of a mini reset with a new threat and a new objective in the Fulcrum list, plus the promo for Thursday's ep seems like we'll finally get some details on why Red cares about Liz and what actually happened on the Christmas Eve in 1990.

That song playing as Red mopped up the bad guys in the prison was great, Joe Carnahan always delivers when he directs an ep, and The Pearl was awesome, I hope Luther sticks around for the rest of the season.

Seeing David Strathairn reminded me of his Bourne franchise character Noah Vosen.

Do we know who did the song?
