Solomon inherited the "Orator Role" from Raymond Reddington!

Hmmmm. A Red set up?! His way to take down Scottie and help Howard? wild idea

Big Badd Bazzer · 4/13/2017 9:53 pm

Solomon coming back - with a team?

Big Badd Bazzer · 4/13/2017 9:58 pm

Of ll the endings - it took a tiny blonde to figure things out! lol

Congrats to Kat, let Redemption roll

Intense preview!

Big Badd Bazzer · 4/13/2017 10:00 pm

Next season features
BLACKLIST: OPERATIONAL

lara1 · 4/13/2017 10:00 pm

Well I think we all sussed out suspect Trevor!

Patter · 4/13/2017 10:02 pm

Wow! Loved the ending and really set it up for another season or integrating into TBL. Music should have been a little lower though was hard to hear what they were saying. Also, that preview for TBL...Kaplan calling Red!!! Whaaaat!!!

lara1 · 4/13/2017 10:04 pm

Patter - well Red did seem totally shocked! So he didn't know she was alive before.

I still wonder if kate is working with/for someone else....

lara1 · 4/13/2017 10:05 pm

Yes excellent ending! Howard playing everyone.

Big Badd Bazzer · 4/13/2017 10:15 pm

The real tell occurred when the show-runners hired Terry O'Quinn - who can play like no other the endearing man, the family man, the hurt man, the marred man - shielding the hearts & brains of A MONSTER.

Tom got played big-time! Nice to know Maya Angelou's Gumshoe Agency (Nez & Matty) are still out there. Imagine if Kat hadn't been able to make her way over to Tom's place???

In the end it was Scottie's weakness for younger muscle-men that put her in peril.

ITS HOWARD POWER BABY!!!

Tatiana · 4/13/2017 10:19 pm

Well that was fun!!!

Absolutely must re-watch. Loved the Moby Dick references and then Solomon's oratory. Truly in keeping with The Blacklist's theme of who's right, who's wrong, maybe the bad guy wears a white hat, who's playing whom, etc.

All of them could feature in future Blacklist episodes if it ends up being renewed.

What I found the most interesting was that Whitehall was in on it with Howard. That surprised me. Brilliant scientists are always 'purists' and only have the best of intentions, so Whitehall really surprised me at the end!

"Hello Raymond" Oh my! That would be quite a wake up call!

lara1 · 4/13/2017 10:24 pm

BBB - yeah, howard the slightly out of touch slightly mad scientist, mild and meek mannered disguise!
Tom was totally played.

Makes me wonder, was the son thing a total act also and was howard totally using him?

We might need Scotty after all. But she sure succumbed meekly this go-round - Howard had her checked, mated (w/ Commander Trevor) and check-mated.

While she was valiant to the end - Kat gets the Liz Keen award for being oblivious to the goings on. Both she and Scotty Too Hotty succumbed to the power of 5 letter P..... but Scotty walking in on the bad guy - that's abysmally stupid! Even Liz woulda brought Aram for back-up!

HOWARD POWER hahahaha! I agree they cast the right person for his role. I still don't by that Scottie is all that innocent, she still hasn't rushed to Tom and expresses her love and pain a mother would have gone thru. She still appears disconnected and focused on everything but her son.

Big Badd Bazzer · 4/13/2017 10:34 pm

Makes me wonder what Trevor could get out of Samar???

A. Before or after the castration, BBB?

lara1 · 4/13/2017 10:36 pm

Patter - I agree re Scotty. And she isn't going to get Mother of the Year award any time soon!

Colleen · 4/13/2017 10:40 pm

Loved this episode! And clearly I would suck as a profiler since I misjudged Dad & Whitehall. And Boytoy working for Dad. And Kat violently killing Boytoy. Oh and that Solomon wasn't an evil mastermind pitting Dad and Mom against each other.

Mr. Kaplan would not be happy with the mess caused by the ice pick vs. candlestick bout.

Eastcoast · 4/13/2017 10:41 pm

ok, so I almost had a mental breakdown when my tv went out for about 15 seconds, I saw Solomon starting to recite something and it came back on and he was gone?

WHAT HAPPENED????

Colleen · 4/13/2017 10:45 pm

Lol great comments about Tom's parents. Imagine everyone at Agnes birthday party next week. All wearing tiaras for the PRINCESS party.

Wonder if Red will wear his tiara atop a fedora... as he looks at Tom and says "I told you so!"
