I was just thinking how odd that is.

Re: R, R, R,
Hmmmm...
Requiem is music for a funeral
Ruin is of course devastation
Rassvet is reborn or new dawn in Russian

Re: R, R, R,
Insightful observations! Many “coincidences.” Perhaps there was method to this oddity.
One uniting glue among all these “R”s is yet another “R” --- Rostova.
In Requiem we see both Katarina Rostova and daughter Masha Rostova. We see Katarina (KR 1.0) savagely slit the throat of her assignment. Later Raymond Red Reddington (KR 2.0) recruits Mr. Kaplan (again!) to protect Elisabeth Keen (nee Rostova).
In Ruin Elisabeth Keen (nee Rostova) ruthlessly kills her pursuers -- reminding us of momma Rostova’s rampage in Cape May.
In Rassvet we see the Rostova patriarch and matriarch. Their daughter Katarina Rostova rubs out two armed rivals in close combat. With Russian Embassy aide Ilya Koslov KRostova escapes her pursuers and resurrects Raymond “Red” Reddington (nee Rostova).
Other related Rs: Ressler, writer Reiter. Remarkably, Sunday was Talk Like a Pirate Day….. ARrrrrr!
