I'll watch a few episodes but I'm not going to expend a lot of brain cells on the plot. If they can't write clearly and engage me, I'll find something else to watch.

I predict that the show will end with someone waking up in a mental hospital and saying "And you were there, too!" I was thinking it would be Liz, but unless she does make a final ep guest appearance, that won't happen. I've often wondered if it was Red that was the one. He has exhibited some pretty odd behavior over the years. Maybe Dembe will end up being the hospital orderly who takes care of him. Or her. Because since Reddington has been the "creation" of Katarina, it could be that he is just a wild figment of her imagination after a major mental breakdown all those years ago. After all, we've often asked how could Red possibly have actually done all the things he's said he's done? He could, if he was a fantasy.

Both grandmothers of little orphan Agnes are alive, yes? Both have long CVs of murder and mayhem. Both deceased parents of Agnes were skilled killers with tempers, thirsts for revenge and going rogue. Family tradition? Add angry Agent Park. Might a distaff Task Force 2.0 form that chases and/or terminates villains? Indeed, either or both of the two scorching Person of Interest females would be great additions. Pannabaker might acquiesce. Girls just wanna have fun.

BBB, I agree. Continuity is an issue for me.

Amy Acker would be a great addition to the show. I still with they had kept the actress that Agent Park went crazy on and Red killed.

Prolly a bit late in the game to bring in Amazing Amy (Acker). She's usually inserted in flagging drama series fairly early to mid-point in the affair. Don't know if she'd be happy with a 1 year & Go contract.
In Alias she came on the last 2 seasons as villainess Kelly Peyton.
In Angel she was cast fairly early (but not at the beginning) as wispy, mousey Fred (burkle) and ended up morphing into a super-Goddess with ungodly powers - and a uniform that somehow transformed the slim 5'8", 125 lb. Acker into a near muscle goddess.
In Person of Interest Acker was cast as Root late in Season 1 as the arch-enemy of series hero (1 of them) Michael Emerson (Harold Finch) but by 10 or 12 episodes in Root had become an amazing anti-hero, one of the most magnificent female acting jobs in TV drama history. Root was absolutely beloved by the POI fanbase - and thats hard since she was up against perennial TV fan favorites Sarah Shahi & Taraji P Henson.

She'd be a crazy favorite amongst Blacklist fans - if they cast her in the right role!

BBB, Acker would be a lovely edition. Maybe a guest appearance?
