Tuxie - I've given up on the intrigue and went full maudlin, ha! My husband is out of town on business and I miss him!

Re: Episode 5.21 - Lawrence Dane Devlin - Discussion Page
Lara - yeah, this was filler, as far as I can tell. But I did enjoy having a good sob! All those creepy crawly, horror show stuff had me on edge.
From what I can see from the preview for next week, it looks like it's one or the other... Red or Liz... and there's one scene in which it looks like Liz is screaming when she sees Red with someone else in the background.

The promo makes it obvious why the audience will find out Red's secret, but Liz won't. She's in another part of the parking garage being tortured. Red will tell Sutton Ross his truth to save Liz.

Re: Episode 5.21 - Lawrence Dane Devlin - Discussion Page
Have you seen the City promo? There's a glimpse of Liz watching Sutton Ross and Red through what may be a mirror. Maybe she and Ross cooked up a Liz in danger con so both could learn Red's secret. Wouldn't that be devious?

I agree with the comments on Mozan's and Amir's acting.
although I have to say a Samar/Aram story was not high on my list of must see TV.
However, I do think the lack of oxygen and (maybe) brain injury is yet another symbol around the overall story that we are seeing. Maybe it will tie in, symbolically, in some way to the finale reveal.
Disappointed with the Liz/Red piece of the story. Maybe they just didn't want to reveal anything before the "big" reveal. And it had better be big LOL.
Classic case of mis-direction (thank you Penn & Teller)
Turned the Red-Liz hunt for dem bones into a Samar-Aram dedication - WHICH WAS Wonderfully written, directed & acted.

Re: Episode 5.21 - Lawrence Dane Devlin - Discussion Page
Yes, a filler episode to some extent, but I agree with all the comments so far. I was eating dinner, as well,
which I usually don't do, but I had a really late lunch.
The other thing that stood out to me: that bit of dialog where it's mentioned that neither of the keepers
of the bag of bones went public with the info. I'll have to ponder that.

BBB - the ole slight of hand trick or in this case, we were distracted by radioactive bears and Aram's signature snot/tears dangling from the end of his nose.
And the actors playing Samar/aram did a great job!

They were wonderful, weren't they? If Samar is destined to be offed (60/40 in favour at this point) I'd like to see her get a permanent spot on a recurring drama. NCIS (both the regular version and New Orleans) are down a couple actors. The black fellow playing Clay got killed last episode and Abby Sciutto has officially left the show.
Mozhan & Amir would be great adds to either show. Or if someone could write an original screen play based on the life and times of Charlie Chan - with Aram as Chan, Mozhan as faithful assistant. Could be a comedy-drama immo. LOL

Now that would be funny... although Mozhan would be better suited as straight man Chan 
Mozhan played a journalist I think in House of Cards, very different personality. I think she actually has a playful flair. Amir has been doing so much in addition to TBL. We shall see.
But odds are high she's a goner for TBL

Re: Episode 5.21 - Lawrence Dane Devlin - Discussion Page
Well, I thought that tonight we were going to complete the tryptch of those driven mad by the 'loss' (real or perceived) of their loved ones:
1) Red's CAPE MAY excursion pretty much up through the time until he realized Liz's 'death' was a setup
2) Liz avenging Tom (unless, somehow, he's part SuperFeline and has more than 9 Lives), particularly during the whole cabin in the woods episode
I really expected Aram to end up finishing this 'trilogy', though it could very well still end up that way.

Re: Episode 5.21 - Lawrence Dane Devlin - Discussion Page
Redismycopilot - you just never know what TBL will come up with and for now, Samar is alive... or kind of dead. This seems to be a theme in this show lol!
But would they really leave Samar 'hanging' and not let us know if she lives or dies by the season finale?

Honey West - did you get a chance to see it yet? Interested in your thoughts :-)

Re: Episode 5.21 - Lawrence Dane Devlin - Discussion Page
It seems the writers are having each character experience a devastating loss, perhaps to help them see what Red has likely experienced. First Ressler then Liz & now Aram. And Cooper was made to believe he was dying. I’m not feeling optimistic about Samar surviving but I am really hoping she survives.

Re: Episode 5.21 - Lawrence Dane Devlin - Discussion Page
Excellent point, Coco. And the likelihood is slim that she will make it. I just don't know how on earth they're going to squish so much story into a one hour finale!

So - why the badger? I think I may have found the answer. They dig and live in burrows underground. Match to the tunnel/underground imagery throughout the series. Well that's what I think, LOL!

Re: Episode 5.21 - Lawrence Dane Devlin - Discussion Page
They break for commercial in the middle of CPR?! Who does that?!
I am glad it wasn't just me.
Lara1, lions, tigers and bears! lol
It is funny after reading everyone's comments for a while you know what they are probably thinking when they show something.
I was saying to myself when I saw the bear get him, well it looks like your going back to nature yourself! lol

Re: Episode 5.21 - Lawrence Dane Devlin - Discussion Page
Was there a checkerboard somewhere in that photo? I missed it.....
lara, it was a pic of Devlin in the hospital in the hallway. It was more of a diamond shape to me. If you look at the last episode you can look at the hall and see if there are any.

Re: Episode 5.21 - Lawrence Dane Devlin - Discussion Page
The man running a body farm was a nut case. I know they exist for Forensic Research. If you have never read about them you may not want to eat for a while after you see the pics of it and what they do if you have a weak stomach. But I can imagine in RL that those who work on them are a bit crazy at the end of the day documenting all that stuff. Yuck!
