If there was one major concern that we had with last week’s “The Blacklist” episode, it is that Elizabeth Keen and her husband Tom really did not have too much of a role in the story together at all. He went off for an interview (or an “interview,” if you think that Red cannot be […]
After a pretty lengthy hiatus, “The Blacklist” returned to NBC Monday night with an hour that basically served to re-introduce a little bit of what this show is about: Giving us a villain for the FBI to chase after, and also seeing some more of just how crazy-evil Reddington really is. What was pretty ironic […]
“The Blacklist” has been on a thrill ride for most of the season, but on Monday the show managed to take things up another notch. There was not only an exciting “ending” to the Anslo Garrick story, but also the arrival of Fitch. Who is this man? He is basically the person responsible for hiring […]
By and large, we try to ensure that we don’t jump to any sort of knee-jerk conclusions when it comes to actors deserving nominations, but it’s just so rare that you feel that way minutes or hours later after watching a show. But for James Spader and “The Blacklist,” it was clear before this episode […]
Monday night’s episode of “The Blacklist” at least came closer than ever before to answering a key question that everyone has been looking forward to: Is Raymond Reddington really the father of Elizabeth Keen? Well, at the moment you might be suffering from a case of mixed feelings. The thing is, we are going to […]
One week after giving us an episode steeped in mythology and raising more questions about Liz Keen and her husband Tom, Monday night’s “The Blacklist” episode was more in that case-of-the-week format. This episode was more about a brilliant scientist (Robert Sean Leonard of “House” fame) named Barnes, who came up with a dastardly plan […]
After five weeks of cases on “The Blacklist” that felt far too procedural, this was the one that we have been waiting for. It combined the story of Reddington’s exploits with Elizabeth and Tom’s relationship, and gave us something that felt intelligent, action-packed, and relevant. We actually cared about everything that happened, and at first […]
After what was its best episode so far in “The Stewmaker,” “The Blacklist” returned tonight with an episode that was all about finding a ghost named The Courier, a man who makes his living making sure nobody knows who he is … mostly because he takes out anyone who tries to get him. The show […]
There was a good ten or twenty minutes during tonight’s “The Blacklist” where we started to wonder whether or not all of the hype surrounding “The Stewmaker” was going to be worthwhile. This was an episode that had the most capable villain in the history of the show, and also the most terrifying. This man […]
When we first watched the pilot for “The Blacklist,” it was riveting, James Spader was fantastic, and while there were similarities between it and every other case-solving show out there, it was so well-done that we did not mind. Well, we are to a certain extent starting to mind it more now. When you have […]
