BTW, yet another "list" was mentioned tonight....the "sanctions list".....

lara1 · 1/10/2018 9:01 pm

BBB - yes, I gotta say, I never saw some of that coming......

Remember in the beginning when Liz couldnt pull the trigger on criminals the FBI was tracking and now she's killing them for sheer blood?

yeah, she's like the story of the farmer, isn't she? You know, the parable that Red shares with Stanley before he dumps him in the vat of chemicals?

lara1 - I didn't notice the watch - at all. I did notice the jumping scene looking like Wormwood.

I really didn't understand the Blacklist case at all. What did the nerve gas in the beginning have to with hit and run involving Bishop and the Judge? What was the sanctions list? Could someone explain it to me. I don't know if I was just tired or if this was really confusing. At least I understood all the Liz parts.

And the Cooper and Ressler part with Ressler's confession, did Cooper give Ressler his own confession. Or am I crazy?

Tuxie, I know I'm tired . . . I have to re-watch the first ten minutes, at least. I didn't get the gas thing, either.

And, yes, I think Cooper wrote a confession, too. I wonder if he is going to get killed and that "confession" will be some sort of clue that's needed for the finale.

I liked how Donald stole a bottle of Red's alcohol as he left. I was laughing out loud. That was great!

Tatiana - yes I thought that as well....and interestingly, it looks like next week has something to do with the Stewmaker.
Its like Liz is on the road to becoming a Blacklister.

I wonder if Cooper's confession is from the time of doing Tom Connolly's dirty work, or if it related to him knowing ahead of time that Red was going to surrender to the FBI.

Tuxie400 and IowaWatcher - yes I got the impression that Cooper has colored over the lines in a big way at some point. Not sure what.

Not sure about the gas either - I think I was too grossed out by it to focus on why it happened, LOL

Tuxie400 · 1/10/2018 9:49 pm

Iowa Watcher - That was funny how Ressler took a bottle of booze - like he felt he was entitled after dealing with both Presscott and Red.

Tuxie400 - I think the Connolly thing is a good parallel to where Ressler found himself. Perhaps that was it.

All in all, I liked the episode. It had some twists I didn't see coming. I'm glad they wrapped up the Prescott storyline. Wasn't really anywhere else it could go - Prescott calling Ressler periodically when he needed something done. That couldn't have gone on for too much longer, IMO

Red pulling the strings behind the scenes...

Does anyone remember if someone else was killed with a shard of glass to the neck? I see the parallel with the injections, esp with the broken glass, but I keep thinking someone else was actually killed that way. Maybe not.

Tuxie400 · 1/10/2018 10:07 pm

I don't remember anyone else in The Blacklist dying with a shard of glass to the neck. But this is two weeks in a row that we've had shards of glass and fires involved. I think this may be building to something connected to either Fire Night or the suitcase skeleton.

lara1 · 1/10/2018 10:24 pm

Tuxie400 - I agree about the fire. They are dropping a lot of fire imagery. Esp tonight. Red could have easily just shot the guy. the fire was a horrible death. though it would have made it seem like it was all just part of the car accident. That may be a parallel with real fire night. Fire set to make it seem like the fire casualty, whoever that was, died in the fire when it was deliberate. Which I think some of us have thought.

We'll see.....

Big Badd Bazzer · 1/10/2018 11:52 pm

Lizzy should get another dog. Call it 'Smokey the Bear' in honor of all her smoke 'n fire related casualties.

The final episode of TBL should be titled:

Liz Keen
The Casualty Maker - No. 1

Big Badd Bazzer · 1/10/2018 11:54 pm

H. Cooper definitely exchanged resignation letters with Donald R. Clearly their fates are now tied to one another.

Oh, ElizabethLizzieLiz... the latest selection from your revenge mixtape ought to be this reworked James Taylor song...

♪♪♪... I've seen fire and I've seen Ruin.
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.

lol, that was a good one!!

That was a crazy episode! I get a feeling we will be saying that a lot.
LIz is a loose cannon!

lara1, I saw the watch too. I also want to get a better look at it and the ring he is wearing since they keep putting it in our face. He really is a creeeepy dude!

It was very disturbing to see Red set that fire knowing he knows what that feels like.
Interesting he said his good friend about Donald to Prescott before he lit the fire. Then later he was talking to Donald about them being friends.

BBB, 56, yes. I think Cooper knew he was going to do that.

I was thinking about the incident that Red mentioned to him back in season 1. Then in season 2 he gave him what he had about it when he went to his house to get him to come back to work.
