The Blacklist Refugees » Ian Garvey, who is he and how did he know about the bones?

LOL, IowaWatcher! I think we've all tried on these ideas so much that we make ourselves dizzy. I’m finally pretty much at the watch it play out stage and see what they really come up with. I still think he is deep undercover. Whether for any government, group or just for himself remains to be seen. What his real identity is probably doesn’t matter so much as why he’s doing what he’s doing.

Okay, now I’ve made myself dizzy.

We need to add that he has O negative blood type. They threw that out to us. Wondering if there is a reason??

Eastcoast - Other than the golden blood, O negative is the rarest blood type and considered a universal donor. But I don't know why they would make sure we know his blood type. Are you thinking genetics will come into play?

He and Ressler both. There must be a reason, I agree.

Red and Ressler had B negative blood, and Kirk had B, and I'm thinking his was B positive, but that may not be right.

Tuxie - that's what I remember as well, Kirk had B+

Eastcoast - who had O- ?

Isn’t O neg what they give in emergent blood loss situations where there isn’t time to cross type? Garvey was bleeding out so they had to act fast.

Brittany - I bet you're right about why they ordered O negative for Garvey. It would match whatever blood type he had.

No one that I can recall. But I just thought it was interesting that they gave his and others but they have not given the blood type of Liz either time they have had the opportunity.

I just always wonder what road it could lead down in the future since this is TBL.

Yes, I always wonder when they throw something out there like that. It is not like they have a huge storage supply of it laying around. They are always looking for more.
We know Red's, Donald's, Kirk's and Garvey's. I do not recall anyone else's they have give off top of my head.

Tatiana · 4/30/2018 1:34 pm

O negative is the universal donor, so it's always given in emergency/life threatening situations.

Honey West · 4/30/2018 2:56 pm

Well, for all the big deal they made about Red and Ressler having the same rare blood type it’s likelt to come into play again at some point in the story.

Speaking of dizzy, I have all these very bizarre ideas that this show will end with the sound of Raymond Reddington's shoes on a hardwood floor, as he exits stage right and all that remains is the ghost light.

Flashes of The Truman Show keep interrupting my thoughts.

Wow! That's cosmic! (Shades of my friend from the 1980s).

I don't know how the series is going to end, but I'll bet RR "dies" in the season finale so he is better
able to steal and hide the bones.

I'd like to catch a glimpse of KR. I truly hope she's alive!

Here's an idea about the blood types. I think we may have mentioned it before, I'd be surprised if we didn't, Red and Ressler are related somehow.

I know we did, but I don't remember the top theories, just that Tom and Ressler might be half-brothers, and I don't remember who wrote that.

I think there's parallel but mirrored universes that characters slip in and out of.
Gosh, did I actually write that?
That wacky tobacky is not legal here so I can't blame it on that.

Seriously though, it really feels like there's a suspension of time, mirror images of characters and events, and yes, alternate universes.
Some day if I have the energy I"ll write up something that could be plausible. Until then....

Lol, Tatiana, wacky t.

Eastcoast · 5/01/2018 12:56 am

I was thinking during the re-watch that Garvey knows who is in the suitcase. I was wondering after reading what a few people wrote about it could be the real Readington in the bag. So I was listening to Garvey say his name and how He said it. He doesn't say it in a offset or smart way or even sarcastically. He still refers to him as Reddington. I was thinking that if he thought that our Red was an imposter he would have some sort of a snide remark or a sarcastic way of saying his name and I didn't pick up on that at all.

Eastcoast · 5/01/2018 12:58 am

I was also thinking about Garvey saying he had A truth and when Red told him if he had the bag of bones then he had the truth. I took that as the bones probably told the way the person died.
