Am I the only one thinking ENDGAME?

Do you mean endgame as in killing Red?  I'm not thinking endgame - at least not as this point. The next two-parter still holds the promise of getting a new immunity agreement.

I thought it was even more sluggish last year with dem bones.

BBB said, "If the show is wrapping up its last season - then 80% chance Reddington executed."

But the previews for next week show Red in the death chamber, and there are 11 more episodes after that.  I don't think he will be executed.

Your idea of a power failure and Aram's participation remind me of The Architect episode.  Who knows?  This show does love its parallels.

I do believe Red will be administering some form of penalty to Sima Leung - and his mute assistant!!! lol

I would be surprised if he didn't at least pop up behind him at some point and say Boo!

Iowa Watcher - Yes, the prison/courtroom stuff was getting old. But I think the next two episodes will be good. Red will be getting moved to the federal prison in Terre Haute for his execution.

HA! That's another place I've been to, Terre Haute, not the prison. It's Anytown, Midwest, or a much cleaner version of Peoria (IL).

(Terre Haute is something like ten or twenty miles from the IL state line. That area is basically farms, small one-horse towns, and several larger cities.)

Being originally from Indiana, I'm well acquainted with Terre Haute. I have several friends who live there.

Eastcoast - I think Aram surprised himself by shooting Mr. Crypto so quickly.  

As much as I want to blame Liz for Red's failed escape plan, I can't. She was concerned and didn't know. There I said it! Even when I'm still like . But seriously, what a clever way to escape right down to the hair clippings. So close Red!!!

Dembe still wanting to carry Red to "freedom" even with a field full of armed men, pulled at the heart strings. His eyes were so focused on Red. 

Aram really had a standout episode this week! I was happy he got another big story line. Sometimes I think Red is the only 'task force member' that recognizes Aram's true value and dedication to the team. Without his knowledge there would be so many cases that flop. He's tender and caring and getting better at defending, just needs  to work on the aftermath.

Samar's comment about letting Reddington know they are there was a nice touch. It's easy to forget she's there because of him. 

I'm thinking we are going to see another faked death like Liz's after childbirth with task force involvement (they all know they have done unspeakable things; so why not add this to their list). OR at the final hour, this Cairo person will be found and whatever information that is needed will come out right as Red is about to be injected. 

But I do worry, then what? What is the show from there? Does Liz still care who this man was before RR and why he's here today? Do we go back to Blacklister of the week (btw I'm on board with this!).

 

Yes Patter.  Matt was the father.

I don't blame Liz either.  A case of bad timing. 

I'm thinking either a pardon or fake death.  I do have to wonder why they have not thought of creating a double?
They have Sinclair on call.
