Re: Use of Clocks in the Blacklist
LOL! I'm gallery sitting on a not very productive sales day. Lots of visitors and a couple of interesting conversations with people. Just enough to take a minute here and there to see if you all are posting anything. That's very interesting about 36. Shining light. Maybe they are trying to avert a nuclear doomsday when all is said and done?

Re: Use of Clocks in the Blacklist
Tatiana #56 - thank you for the references. I've fallen a bit behind in updating my clock reference list. I will make a point to update it this week.
I have never heard of the middle reference re the plane. Do you happen to know what episode that is referring to and which plane? Planes seem to be so important!
Interesting thoughts on the #36. I just noted something new re 36 that I put on the Redemption episode discussion. I will add it to the clocks list as well.
Hope that you finished your laundry! 
Honey West - interesting references on 1936. I need to go back over my original notes on 36 and where it appears in the series. I like the idea of it maybe being a doomsday thing. There were a couple of films made in the 1960s with Cold War doomsday type themes/scenarios weren't there. Maybe there is something in it....

Re: Use of Clocks in the Blacklist
Just copying over my point from Redemption Ep 5 here so I don't forget it.
There is a close up of the clock when the German immigration official starts the sarin attack. The time is 12:30. something again circling around the 12-1:00 timeframe. Also the number 12, and the number 3. I've mentioned elsewhere than in numerology, 12 reduces down to 3. And 12 denotes some important things in the story (December, Decembrist for example).
And 12 times 3 = 36. The magic number again!

Re: Use of Clocks in the Blacklist
Lara - the reference to the plane I believe was the Howard Hughes type crazy wealthy man living in a plane and kidnapping super species humans and didn't they then put them into deep freeze (cannot remember the name of episode though).
Only got 6 1/2 loads done...

Re: Use of Clocks in the Blacklist
Just rewatched The Apothecary and noticed that when Red enters the restaurant, there is a clock over the door. I appears to be 2:12 pm.
Curiously, just to the left of the clock on a perpendicular wall is an image/picture of what appears to be a military or country emblem: a black bird, full front, on a globe? I cannot yet identify it but so far it looks eerily similar to the SS Nazi symbol in certain forms. Will investigate more.

Re: Use of Clocks in the Blacklist
Tatiana - thank you. Interesting:
2:12. There's the number 12 again. And 2x12=24, both 12 and 24 used throughout the series (and its chrsitmas eve, december 24). Why a reference to that is above Red's head, I don't know, but we do have the various Christmas eve stories and I guess it can be seen to underscore all of the St. Nick and Christmas referenes to Red, perhaps?
Is the clock frame red? I can't tell.....
Interesting on what is on the wall. I will need to take a look as well. A german connection would be interesting given our recent comments on Mengele.

Re: Use of Clocks in the Blacklist
This may have been spotted already - when Kaplan is reading the classifieds in Requiem, there's an ad for a grandfather clock repairer!
