James Spader 9/2017 AOL Build Interview
Hi All,
For completeness, I'm posting the link to the interview here so we all can reference it. As I recall it runs around 40 minutes. I think James is such a compelling storyteller, I could listen to him all day. LOL!

I love listening to him as well. He has such an interesting life. His stories are so fun. I loved the story he told on one of the late shows about how he and John Kennedy Junior had gotten stoned or something one afternoon and when they were eating dinner with his family that night James threw up on his plate at the dinner table and Jackie Onassis simply responded with “good shot, Jim”. 😂

Re: James Spader 9/2017 AOL Build Interview
I just had time to watch this interview. What James said makes me think Red is NOT Liz's dad. "As has always been the truth about the Blacklist, don't get too comfortable with what you think is the truth about anything. Be open to surprise. Why in the hell would a central mystery be answered in the 4th season with seasons to go? Enough said."
So I'm just going to enjoy the ride of Liz thinking she's Red's daughter. But I'm not going to hang on too tightly to the notion.

Exactly, Tuxie400. I totally agree with you!

I agree Tuxie. I loved how he said that, considering how much he knows about the show's secrets being the star and an executive producer.
I also loved how he seems to believe there could be "seasonS" to go. I wonder if an agreement has already been made with NBC(?) to keep TBL for two more seasons so they can properly tell their story. I don't think the story can maintain it's integrity for TOO many more episodes but I'd certainly be happy to see 44 more!

Re: James Spader 9/2017 AOL Build Interview
All - my thoughts exactly when I first saw the interview. and his body language as well. Either that or there is a major twist with it. (But as a doubter, I did not want to spell that out before anyone else saw it and formed a view, LOL) 
But i'm going to enjoy the dynamic for now. Nice to have a break from the darkness for now.
I do think something big is coming before the fall season finale though.
