Episode 8.16 - Nicholas Obenrader
I hope I spelled his name right! LOL! I also hope Glenn's mom is on tonight's episode, too!

I see they've given Our Friend in the East a name - David E. Harrison as Ivan Stepanov
Check out what I found when I searched the name with IMAGES
(the character)

I hope we get some good spy stuff tonight!
I hope Eastcoast is doing OK! I'm eating a slice of strawberry pie in honor of her.

Re: Episode 8.16 - Nicholas Obenrader
Townsend has really gone too far now. I'm really surprised we don't have an upcoming episode called "Neville Townsend" yet. I guess he's needed for a bit more evil lunatic stuff. Maybe he will be the season finale Blacklister.
I liked the Liz/Aram stuff. He was truly upset about the croissant! But he is very concerned for Agnes, and that was sweet.
Things don't look so good for Ivan next week. Yikes! What was that neck ring thing and blowtorch?

Re: Episode 8.16 - Nicholas Obenrader
Haven't been replying much to this forum, but I must say I really enjoyed this episode. Granted, the whole Keen plot was a miss so far and should have been executed much better, but in this particular episodes things make sense. There's a big cat-and-mouse game in which everyone is both enemy and friend and it's a lot of fun to watch.
The episode started out pretty calm, but nicely built up tension throughout and had some funny moments. My biggest issue with this episode is how quickly characters seem to move to and from far locations, but I guess we just have to assume this episode stretches over a longer timespan.

Re: Episode 8.16 - Nicholas Obenrader
IW, thank you for thinking of me. I had Coconut cake this week.
I haven't been on here this week due to some family issues.
I have updated the writers and directors.
Last week the electic went out about 15 minutes into it. 🤪
I had to wait for the TV to reboot itself. I missed about 15 minutes. I need to still rewatch it.
I did see enough to feel frustrated that I knew I wasn't the only one sitting there thinking they should have known the numbers meant letters.
HW, I imagine Townsend might be the finale Blacklister.
I am not into the torture stuff at all. At least when it is Brimley they try to make it oddly funny. Townsend is really a weirdo!
I really don't like the new Liz attitude. She really reminds me of Red. I was wondering if that is the attitude Red had when he spoke of being arrogant when he was younger.
I liked seeing her and Aram together. I didn't enjoy seeing how she talked to him. They both did a great job in that scene.
I wondering if Agnes is going to be in danger and if that could bring them back to trying to work together. Some sort of normal? This is a terrible situation to have any child in. But those days may be gone.
Yeti, it is amazing how fast they can travel! Lol
It's a shame you have no crackers

Re: Episode 8.16 - Nicholas Obenrader
To me, this episode seemed like a hamster running on a wheel and getting nowhere. Red, Liz, and Townsend were all running games on one another than seemed to go nowhere. The only move ahead in this three-way chess game was Townsend's capture of Stepanov. I look forward to seeing what happens with that in the next episode. On the positive side, I'm growing quite fond of Agent Park this season - I just love her eye rolls.
RedIsMyCoPilot - That's amazing that there was a real Ivan Stepanov who looks like the character!
Eastcoast - Liz's attitude is annoying. She is arrogant thinking she's an amazing criminal. The show has always tried to show how much Liz is like Red.
