I will dvr for sure, hopefully I have it set. I keep falling behind, don't mean to. This is one of my big shows this season.

Lauren Helen Graham

Don't you worry. It's that real life sometimes takes its toll. Glad though you are still following the show and that you still love it as much as we do! Can't wait to read your opinion about it!

Romantic In Denial

TFTNT! Looking forward to the episode but wish there was a way to watch two shows at once. I'm always behind.

Can't wait for tonight!

Okay, don't judge me about it but I really thought the episode today boring...

The one thing that I loved was to get a better insight view on Samar. She didn't want to play by the rules anymore because she was sure with the Director in the post office it would get dangerous for Red and Liz. I'm really happy that she as well wants to protect these two. I'm wondering if Liz telling her that she'll take responsible for her actions but not those who she didn't commit changed her opinion? At the beginning she was so determined that they would have to bring in Liz and that they should stop protecting her... And now she's doing the same I like that.

Ressler finally realizing that playing by the rules will endanger Liz. But now having proof that the Director tipped them off and even lead them on a false path. I love Ressler for trying to get rid of the Director I'm still really suspicious when it comes to Hitchin though... Ressler trusts in her too much, I really hope she isn't a member of the Cabal, for his sake. Because is she is, that proof will lead him nowhere but make him a target even more.

So all that stuff was about Red getting on the Director's money? Didn't really blow my mind.

I loved that we saw Marvin again although I'm still wondering what his purpose was

Aww, let me be in awe about Liz tending to Dembe's wound!!! That was such a cute scene!!!!

Tom... They really want us to have pity on him? No chance... He killed Asher, I can't believe it. How could he do that. He's still the same murderer he was before and I don't care why he did it. Asher was innocent, he was a means to an end which he killed in the end. It's unbelievable.
Yeah, he got Karakurt, whatever...

alt.er

Let me sit next to you so that we could be judged together because I thought so too. Boring as hell. Slow and talky but not in a good way.

The Blacklister was a total waste of time. Didn't leave any impression and came across as a stupid nutcase rather than real menacing. Even Red's diatribe to him about the future wasn't compelling. And the writers totally stole the idea of his plane from the movie "Contact".

Tom's story was one of the good bits but if I needed more proof that he's a sociopath who hasn't reformed, then this was it. He had no remorse for getting Asher killed. Asher was a rich idiot but he didn't deserve to die. He really had learnt nothing from the Harbormaster's murder and if Liz gets back with him, then I'm done with this show. And it was kind of convenient how easily he could carry off a Russian assassin out of their mafia hideout.

At least Samar and Ressler got to look hot while saving the scientist. And then Aram tracked down the plane to it's real location. They also managed to get security video footage of Solomon of the plane.

I think Hitchins will turn on him and this will be the last straw for him. He still believes in the system and his ability to protect Liz within it. When Hitchins betrays him, he might finally go complete darkside.

OK episode.
Hah, I'm just waiting for the whole task force to go rogue and be part of the Red team.

I liked the interactions between Crispin and Red.
I think this is the only episode where Liz was non-existent. I think she didn't have more then twenty lines, if even that!
The break-in scene reminded me of Oceans eleven and the music was actually nice.

Yeah, I still think that Hitchin is Cabal (she must be, I think everyone thinks that) and that Ressler will not come out of it good when he shows her Solomon photo.
Samar was hot, wow.
I love Red humors and one liners "Well, who could predict that?"... Cracks me up every time.

I agree that the whole break-in was because of an escape plan from Director, I know it's a important part, but I thought it will be something that will blew my mind.

It seems that Red and the task force has one plan and Tom&Cooper (that's just weird ) another one. I hate that they show us whatshername behind the door instead of Tom and Asher with the Russians. The little guy was just funny, where did they even find him...
He literally will drag him back to DC.
Tom is a bad, bad man. What a horrible plan, to be fair, if he didn't kill Asher, Asher would kill him, but he could prevent all that from the start. I think we will see in the future whatshername... I kind of sensed a connection between Tom and her, maybe the next romance...

ChellyChelle

See, I think differently. I think she's going to avenge Asher's death. Remember when she approached Tom and said that all she cared about was protecting Asher. And she made him promise he wouldn't do him harm. I can see her coming back and hurting Tom. Bad.
She gave me crazy vibes. Good crazy, but crazy.

I thought the episode was good at the end. The beginning and middle were a little slow. But I thought it gave us a lot of info. I think I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to getting Liz exonerated.

Samar surprised me. And I do think their talk last week where she said she wasn't going to take responsibility for the things she didn't do struck a nerve with Samar. Also, I think Ressler opening up about how they need to protect her made her change a bit. Regardless, I still love her. She brings reason to the Task Force.

I love how even though Ressler knows the Director is a bad man, he still trusts in the system and his ability to clear Liz's name the right way. Samar bursted his bubble real quick. And I'm glad he saw the light at the end of the episode. He still wants to believe so badly that the world is just and good will prevail. It can and will... but sometimes you have to get your hands dirty a little and do things outside of the code.

Red was great in this episode for me. I love his wit.

The NSA lady is definitely Cabal. It kind of pisses me off a little that they're making Ressler trust her so blindly. But oh well... that's part of the storyline.

I can't wait for next week. Looks like a douzy!

Haha, you got a point, she seem more the man in the relationship then Asher. I just think that Tom is kind of good to her and wants to protect her, but she doesn't care much for him.
So the Director episodes are 8&9 or 9&10? After this episode, I can somehow see the end of him.

Romantic In Denial

I concur. Usually I can't take my eyes off the screen but I do believe I could have gotten a snack and not missed anything important. There were a few good scenes that have been mentioned already.

So glad to have Dembe back. Love him! Liz was good with him in that scene.

Ressler & Samar getting on the same side was great to see.

Why is Tom still on this series? I wish they would kill him off or be rid of him some other way. I'm tired of his psychopathic actions even though he professes to be doing it all for Liz. Please.....he likes it. Ugh!

Did Mr Solomon get away again? The man is a ghost.
