The Blacklist - The Criminal [Raymond Reddington|James Spader] #14: "When I kill a man, I don't pretend I care how he feels. It's disrespectful, so stop coddling me." - Page 2

Oh Marilyn, I know that feeling already myself

And I'm not that old now...

It's strange but I think sometimes it's the clothing that makes him look thinner or fuller. It's like with us, in some stuff we look as if we would weigh a lot more than in others.

I really am such a sucker for James in the beginning of the show

Nothing will ever top that.

Agreed an the clothes. It has to be! The suits when he was in court were awesome.

Lauren Helen Graham · 06-17-2019, 12:33 PM

True... The suits indeed were fantastic. I was wondering who he got them from

Fangirl49 · 06-18-2019, 11:43 AM

The plum suit. That was my favorite.

Miranda · 06-19-2019, 10:16 AM

The plum suit looked really good on him!

Fangirl49 · 06-19-2019, 11:21 AM

Rewatched Esteban last night. It still makes me so angry how liz treated him. Kaplan still seemed to blame him for it. She said he had to change. I still have no idea why she felt that way.

Miranda · 06-22-2019, 03:59 AM

I guess something just clicked in her head that he couldn't treat Liz anymore like he was doing. I still feel like that change in Kaplan happened in a flash.

Lauren Helen Graham · 06-22-2019, 04:37 AM

Oh wow, you managed to re-watch already, Marilyn. That's good. I still need to do it and I hope I'll have the chance tomorrow

But yeah, this change, it came in a flash... And the way she treated him, I think I'll never get over it.

Fangirl49 · 06-24-2019, 11:46 AM

Whenever you get a chance.

Yes the change happened so quickly. I never saw it coming. Not Kaplan betraying red. And even when it was obvious I was still in denial.

Miranda · 06-24-2019, 12:28 PM

The Kaplan betrayal towards him is still one of my biggest shockers in this entire show. I really never saw it coming.

Fangirl49 · 06-25-2019, 11:54 AM

I really wanted Kirk to have faked her death. Or Tom.

Lauren Helen Graham · 06-25-2019, 12:29 PM

Yeah, Tom would have been my candidate as well but I knew it was her... I recall me telling you about it and you wouldn't want to believe it. Same about Tom's involvement

I will never forget his face on her coffin, it was all I needed to know.

Poor Red

He is so broken. How is he ever supposed to heal again? Do you think he'll ever be able to heal again? Some at least?

Fangirl49 · 06-26-2019, 12:08 PM

Kris you missed an opportunity to tell me you told me so. And I know you did. I so wanted to believe anyone but Kaplan.

Red’s joyful persona is so much an act to cover so much grief. He was broken before liz. Liz completed the destruction.

Whenever the series ends, I don’t see how Red could live a normal life as a regular person.

Lauren Helen Graham · 06-30-2019, 05:48 AM

Yeah, that's what I fear, too... He is even more broken now. And it's not only been Liz. It's been Kaplan and Dembe and simply everybody that he trusted.

I really don't see Red surviving the show. I never did and I don't do now because he is just so broken, so destroyed...

I missed that opportunity, damn it

Fangirl49 · 06-30-2019, 09:50 AM

I want him to survive. Just give us a happy ending. I need it after the avengers. But I don’t see it.
