Thanks Tuxie400, that's interesting indeed. Well you know my thoughts on the other era time warp thing!
I also thought it was interesting how Red puts his foot over the newspaper article.

Tuxie400 · 4/30/2018 8:23 pm

Oh, I forgot to add the date on the newspaper is May 2, 2018, the same date of the episode. So how was Liz in a coma for 10 months and then spent time in Alaska? This mystery girl is in a time warp, and so is BL!

Tuxie400 · 4/30/2018 8:24 pm

lara1 - Yes, Red definitely doesn't want Liz finding out about the mystery girl.

lara1 · 4/30/2018 8:27 pm

Oh interesting I did not catch the date. Yes, indeed, considering that we had those current dates back at the end of 2017 too.

Fascinating concept for me, the girl is lost in a "time warp", dressed in 1950s clothing.....yet she can't be from the 1950s.....or can she (heh heh).

The girl is found wandering in White Mountain National Forest. Most of that forest is in New Hampshire with about 6 percent in Maine. The only thing I know about that area is that's where the famous UFO/alien case of Betty and Barney Hill took place back in 1961.

Maybe everything since 5.08 is part of a coma dream, including Bokenkamp's interviews.

Hahaha! Anything, and I mean anything, is possible with this show.... we did open with Liz waking up late for her first day of work. What if it's a variation on The Wizard of Oz with Red as the Wizard (or maybe he's the wicked witch?) and the team as the Lion, the Scarecrow, and the Tin-Man.

I'm getting punch-drunk with this show.

LOL!!!

Tatiana - given the Wizard of Oz references, and the 12:00 exact time on the alarm clock (odd) that's really not so far fetched, LOL. But I kind of hope its more than just a "dream"......its possible though!

Has anyone watched the latest sneak peek where Red is talking to Jennifer? I thought it was interesting that Red tells her he thinks that Garvey may have given the duffle bag to Carla and Jennifer says he'll never find her. Could that mean she left whatever set up he left her in after Berlin and she was in contact with Garvey? Could that explain why Jennifer moved from Virginia to Baltimore in the last couple of years? But what would the bag give Carla? She appeared to be in the know of whatever Red has going on. Unless this was a thing she didn't know about. It's so interesting to see where they are going with this.

Brittany, I saw that. Very weird. But I do not think Red is the type to push anything. She is a very bitter child. I keep thinking there has to be more to the story. Some people are ticked off that a parent left but most will at lest hear them out as to why. Some have good reasons and I would think she would want to know more especially after what Garvey told her. I felt like Red left because he might put them in danger from whatever he was running from. Who knows?

I’m starting to think maybe the abandonment story was planted in her memory. Or at least it was reinforced, probably by old Krilov.

You know, in the clip they never say Carla/Naomi's name. Jennifer says "You're never going to find her." That seems odd since Red put her wherever she is supposed to be. Even if she left, he would probably be able to find her since he knows where she would have left from. Of course, if she contacted Garvey for help in the intervening years that would probably explain that part.

Well, I suppose we will have some answers soon. But we know they will lead to even more questions and something to hash out over the summer.

Honey west, I think he memories were implanted as well. There's something too perfect about all that pink in Lilly's room.

Honey West · 5/02/2018 8:57 am

Yes, I always got the impression that the heading home to visit his family on Christmas Eve, disappearing, and turning traitor story read more like a press release. And then Red later saying that he became what they already said he was. So I guess he "became" Raymond Reddington.

Somebody on Twitter asked why the paper said 2019. I still haven’t looked at it in detail. Which year is it? The writers told them to review 5.08 and 5.09.

Tatiana · 5/03/2018 11:45 am

The newspaper was dated 2019 I think May 2, 2019.
Well, what the heck...?! Bokenkamp said don't worry about the timeline when Liz woke up from her coma.

5.08 Ian Garvey: Tom dies, Liz goes into coma
5.09 Ruin: Liz wakes up from 10 month long coma

Ok, so now they're saying they are in the future because of her coma.

Tatiana · 5/03/2018 12:09 pm

Really? someone tweeted 2019... what the heck is going on?

Tatiana · 5/03/2018 12:14 pm

I just responded to the tweet to see if the image was altered.

Honey West · 5/03/2018 2:51 pm

So, which is it? That makes a difference.

Eastcoast · 5/03/2018 4:55 pm

I have a pic and it says 2018.
