From all the Sneak Peaks today, it looks like this is going to be a great episode! See you tonight.

Thanks for getting this started, Tuxie400!

Let's hope the weather is kind to those of us on antenna so we can watch live.

Good luck with the antenna, Brittany!

Right now it's coming in, but it's temperamental. Which is bananas because the weather is clear.

Been out of the loop but looking firward to tbis!

And another spider!!!

Creepy opening! This arsonist considers himself an artist as well as a cook.

Loved Liz's reaction to the spider terrarium!

He's some sort of fanatic, a serial killer, and an arsonist? What a trifecta!

Average episode. I liked Black Liz better than Cry Me a River Liz. By a mile.
Samar had some decent work to do in this episode but nothing of consequence.
The final fire scene with Father Fire was stupendously filmed.
The Asian genius kid was the hi-lite of the episode.
Please bring back Ring of Terror Laden Liz. PLEASE!!!

1st song btw was Johnny Cash's 'Ring of Fire' by Wall of Voodoo

Future episode. Its all about the fires!

Nice finishing scene. Decent payoff, too!

I thought this was a decent episode. The blacklister part was decent. I'm glad Liz is at least in the know that Tom died because of trying to uncover Red's secret. I'm surprised he was honest with Liz about that, but at least it will help develop the story as it progresses.

The 4 best actors in this episode were (in no particular order)

1. The 15.5 yr old Asian hacker
2. His surly mother
3. The Designated Blacklister
4. The Paroled Arsonist

Hon. mention to the Halle Berry look-a-like lady!

I’m interested to know what fire the guy was talking about when he saw Red. He has been in prison for 11 years but was a fire investigator before that. What if the fire he mentioned was “the fire”? He is old enough to have been a fire investigator ( or more likely a fire fighter) back then. I think he said something about a name Friztl or whatever.

I thought the hacker's mom was the hit of the show. There aren't many people Red's afraid of, and she wasn't buying any of his trademark charm.

I was glad to see Red attempting to be honest with Liz - as honest as he could be. He doesn't want anyone to know his secret - whatever it is.

So the eyeball has a GPS tracker, and Garvey has access to it.

What a sad little scene with Agnes at the end. She seems really sad and disengaged. I hope Llz and Red didn't bring the eyeball to her daycare.

Brittany - I also wondered if the fire they were referencing was "the" fire.

IowaWatcher · 1/31/2018 9:14 pm

I liked the episode, but as usual, I have a lot of questions. One that someone else might be able to answer without a rewatch: in the last scene, Red sees the note -- "We know all about you" (or whatever it said). What was the point of the metal coin on the note? Was it just a magnet holding down the note?

I'll also rewatch the episode at some point this weekend.

Tuxie400 · 1/31/2018 9:33 pm

IowaWatcher - I didn't even notice the coin. I think I was missing a lot of details tonight.
