Is Aram going to freak out and do something crazy when he finds out about Navabi and Ressler?

Maybe it wasn't a freak out (yet) but he certainly did something "crazy"

And they certainly entered the break with a little http://images.ofweek.com/Upload/News/2015-8/Innovation/824/21.jpg

They did. I wonder what happens to "the package". When Ressler and Liz took off running into the woods they had a shot of an agent grabbing the case, holding it close to his body and heading towards a vehicle. What are the odds it ends up in the wrong hands?

 
Anybody still watching this?  I think this season has been a big improvement over last season.  Last night's episode = wow.  My wife and I kept saying "She's really not going to die, is she?"  It will be interesting to see where it goes from here.  Solomon didn't die in the firefight, did he?  He makes a good bad guy.  

 
The oddball in the office says to me today "You watch Blacklist?" my reply is "No." and then she says "I can't believe they killed the main character." <_<  Well, I guess I have no reason to ever watch it now.

Solomon got away .. yet again.. Really get tired of TV shows who find one villain that no matter the odds always survive.. :thumbdown:

Liz will be back.. No way you have a show that is about Red & Liz and kill her off..
Guessing Kaplan worked with doc to put her in a deep coma... Kaplan's statement telling Red that he was wrong to think he could protect her was pretty telling.. the only way to protect her was to make all think she is dead...
Next week will be about Red and how he handles the loss.. Then guessing at the end of the episode, or the following week, Liz shown to be in protective custody and Kaplan trying to convince her it is best for Tom & the Baby if she is "dead to them"..

Agreed.  I didn't know if she was pregnant in real life, but I guess she is, so they can "kill her off" for awhile now while she is on maternity leave and then she can come back.  I guess they're also going to try a spin-off with Tom Keen as the main man, so maybe they are moving this show in a slightly different direction.  My one issue with this season has been too much Liz, not enough Red, so maybe they're going to correct that.

Hmm, never thought about the angle of Kaplan helping her die and disappear without even telling Red. That would be a pretty solid move. I thought about Red orchestrating it to make everyone think she was dead and gone, but I like the idea that even Red doesn't know. It would also create a crazy Red bent on revenge, which would also be really fun to watch. Some of the best parts of the show are Red having fun.

They are doing a blacklist spin-off with Mr Solomon starring as the big bad guy and Tom is on it too. No way is liz dead. They (old lady and her) cooked up this scheme to keep her safe and have her some coma drug. Great episode regardless. It was pretty crazy.

The idea that they'd kill Liz was such a nonstarter with me the episode lacked any emotional impact. Just thought from the get go there was no way they'd really kill her off. 

I dont know how you do a spin off from this show. Reddington carries it with remarkably little help from any of the other actors/actresses playing main characters (though Dembey and a couple of other minor characters playing off Reddington do a good job as well).

why oh why did I come in here (about 3 episode behind)

I know right?! My wife has been in and out of the hospital so I'm behind on a few different shows. Barely 12 hours after the latest episode airs the thread gets bumped so I check in to see if there's news like cancelled/renewed, or that the episode sucked/was great. But no, instead there's a huge spoiler. :thumbdown:

It's not a spoiler if it already happened.

Its a tv show discussion thread.  If you're behind, you enter at your own risk.

It's a spoiler if people haven't seen it yet. At least give it a couple of days.

Lmfao don't open a thread if you don't wanna see people talking about stuff that just happened. So people are supposed to wait a free days to discuss every show they watch? Ridiculous

:shrug:   That's why people stayed out of the Star Wars 7 thread until after they saw the movie. Common sense says people are going to talk about what they saw.

 
It took me until Reddington told his partner to take Lizzie's body to figure out she wasn't dead.

That would have been one of the ballsiest moves in TV history to kill her off in the third season.

Even though I am sick of bloated Lizzie I am not ready for her to be killed off.

I was behind by 12 hours, not months. And I know what to expect here. I don't expect a major plot line to be blasted out hours after the show airs. Seems like common sense and what we've typically done around here for years. Put it in a spoiler box. It didn't ruin it for me but would have been nice to have seen it play out without knowing.

:no:

 I DVR most shows as my wife & daughter don't like to watch most shows I do.. So it can be 2 or 3 days later before I get a chance to view them..

I just make sure, no matter how tempting it might be, to not open a thread in regards to TV shows that I haven't viewed the latest episodes yet.

Happens already.. I'll read/post in Movie threads on upcoming movies, but then after the release date I stay out until I get a chance to see it.. :shrug:

This.

If I happen to catch a show live then I expect to jump in here and join the discussion on what just happened.

 
There's no way she's dead.  I actually hope that Red doesn't know either. I liked the theory of Kaplan and the Dr, organizing it.  I thought the "death" itself was kinda lame.  I was getting tired of Lizzie anyway.  Her actual character is just annoying at this point.  "Stay away!" "No, come back, I'm sorry". Half the season she was telling Red to either stay or go.

I'm not sure why everyone is blaming Red for the church thing (which was an absolutely ridiculous scene, 40 top tier mercs have a group of half a dozen trapped in a church.  And Tom/Lizzie are able to just walk out the front door, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GUN FIGHT.  And of course the only "good guy" that gets shot is a random extra).  If Red hadn't put together what was going on, Lizzie and everyone involved was F'd anyhow.

I am looking forward to a few episodes of Red going scorched earth, only to find out later he was duped about Lizzie's death as well.  Which would be interesting, because Red is always the guy who knows everything.  Watching him be in the dark and pissed off would be pretty sweet for a bit.

Your distinction is immaterial. Guys on the west coast know not to go into show threads the night they air because east coasters will already be discussing it. I don't recall it ever being common practice to put spoiler tags in posts discussing already-aired content like you're describing.

That part actually had some "Sense" to it.. They were to take Liz alive.. Red knew this.. So Tom walking her out the front door would keep them from shooting at him fo rfear of killing her..

But yea, how they felt they could shoot the entire Church up, and not hit her any ways was :rolleyes:

I get that, but that's not what happened.  The "controller" had to call and tell Solomon that they had left.  The mercs didn't knowingly let Lizzie escape.  Solomon replied back to the controller with something along the lines of "Impossible, we have her trapped in a church right now".

True, forgot about that part... .. The whole scene was one where you just had to :shrug: it off and go along for the ride.

This may be the most ridiculous thing ever posted on this board.  And I'm including the creationism threads in this.

:lmao: Considering some of the nonsense you post I can do nothing but laugh at you. Keep beating the dead horse though, already said it wasn't a big deal.

 
Liz has always been the least interesting thing about this series.  Wouldn't mind her being killed off at all (but we all know she's still alive).

This series needs to blow my mind and have "Uncle Red" having to watch the kid and handling his various business shenanigans wearing a baby bjorn 

 
Watched last week's episode last night. Horrible.

It was obvious it was going to be some kind of dream sequence or hallucination early on and unfortunately it was.

Obvious, yes, but it served its purpose in filling in some backstory as to Red's relationship with Liz's mother...not to mention exploring the idea of "dying" so that the people chasing you won't get to your child.  Could be Red's subconscious telling him Liz is alive and doing just that, sending him back to find her.

One more episode to go.  What is everyone thinking of the direction this is going?

I am a fan of Famke Janssen and she's smokin' at 51 years old.

I'm going to go ahead and call BS on that final scene.

No way he is her father. I want a paternity test before I tune in for season 4.


 
That episode made me say "wow" but not in the way NBC intended.  

The Blacklist and I had a handshake agreement on the level of disbelief I was willing to suspend, and they are not holding up their end of the bargain.

just a gut wrenchingly awful finale to a show that used to have some guilty pleasure charm.
