"The Blacklist"

[Byron In Exile]

Oh. My. God.

I knew it.

James Spader: "I can only lead you to the truth. I can't make you believe it."

 

[Cathleen]

No matter how much I look at Spader in this role, he just doesn't look like himself. He's excellent.

I haven't watched last night's show yet, so no spoilers ok?

 

[Byron In Exile]

I sort-of knew when he said he'd only work with them through her.

But when she asked him directly, "Are you my father?" — the pause was very long before he said, "No." I took that as, "yes, but I can't say it."

Now we know, and we know that her marriage is poison.

Dimes to dollars that faux-husband is getting the beat-down soon.

Sorry. But watch it. No spoilers can possibly spoil it.

"How many hours did you spend on this?"

 

[JohnnySavage]

The only way this show could be better is if it took place in 24 hours and was set on a battle star.

 

[Noor]

Sorry. But watch it. No spoilers can possibly spoil it.

"How many hours did you spend on this?"

I think I would like to watch this too!

 

[Cathleen]

Hey, that better not be a spoiler on the father front, Byron! The husband story line had been kept nicely until the last few shows. He's definitely going down soon.

I need to watch the show now I suppose.

He's better, I think.

He was more limited on Boston Legal. He's more suited to a role like this.

 

[Wrong Element]

Spader is good enough to make up for the nearly complete incompetence of the actress that plays Lizzie.

I'm a few episodes behind. The last one I saw, the husband hadn't yet boned the teacher/impostor. But I'm guessing that's not far off.

Exactly! See, Johnny knows stuff.

This one... um, not so much.

well said..

 

[Ishmael]

Love the program.

Ishmael

 

[Byron In Exile]

Now the Jews have changed their shapes again.

 

[Byron In Exile]

Love the program.

"Ivan" isn't an exceptional episode, except for the backstory.

Now she knows.

There was a sort of tension, always. It will be interesting to see how it will continue without it.

 

[Byron In Exile]

I think I would like to watch this too!

I think you would like it.

Ivan is still out there and still has a number.

How does the tension remain? How about 'Spy vs Spy.' He works for someone that has a goal, right?

[Noor]

I think you would like it.

Maybe after TA?

Ivan is out there.

But he gave up 8 million to be free.

His target is Moscow.

My suggestion would be to leave him alone.

 

[Byron In Exile]

"The Americans" is Wednesday, "The Blacklist" is Monday.

Unless he decides to broaden his horizons. <shrug>

Ishmael

 

[Byron In Exile]

Unless he decides to broaden his horizons. <shrug>

Yes, but he seemed adamant.

Very dedicated.

Still, as you say, who knows?

I suppose we will find out.

 

[Byron In Exile]

Ishmael, you have to be watching "The Americans," right?

I mean... KGB in 1981?

Srsly?

I know you are, so there's no point in denying it.

 

[Ishmael]

Yes, but he seemed adamant.

Very dedicated.

Still, as you say, who knows?

I suppose we will find out.

Yup.

And I think the tension is about to double.

Ishmael

 

[Byron In Exile]

Yup.

And I think the tension is about to double.

It so is.

I loved "In control" — Haig could have put it any other way...

But the way he did, they were convinced it was a military coup! Top US General says he's "in control"??

What else could it mean?

But Reagan was shot, and people weren't thinking reasonably.
