It's getting harder to ignore the elephant in the room though? Whatever happened to his wife and daughter, why aren't they being used as leverage against him. It doesn't add up.

well for me...I am just waiting for:

Lizzie.....I am your father

jester77 · 24-10-2013 12:21pm

It's beginning to get a little repetitive already. Hopefully with the reveal at the end of this episode they will be able to mix it up a bit in the next few, otherwise 22 episodes of this format will get boring very quick.

i'm waiting for that as well.

I'm waiting for :

Lizzie, as much as you're attracted to me I'm not your father..life is not a Star Wars film. I expected more of you.

Once I've heard that, this one is a keeper.

bluesfan · 24-10-2013 9:02pm

There was a hint that

Red has an adversary, someone he's fighting against, I wonder will that turn out to be one of her parents?

Pushtrak · 24-10-2013 9:39pm

I'm not doing my typical of waiting till the season is done, I'm watching this weekly. Not that it's really that special a show, really. I mean, its ok.. I think the 22 episode run is to its detriment though. Course, something game changing could happen to justify the 22 eps. Really hoping for something like that.

They are so many questions... I'm spoiling the whole lot - don't want to give anything any too much.

As long as don't go down the route of Star Wars or the Dallas dream, then bring it on. Who is Tom's side? Is he a bad or a good guy? Is his side bad or good? Who are the people watching the house?

This reminds me of some of the really complicated Westerns - with good guys, bad guys, good bad guys, bad good guys, and then the really, really bad guys:D

Torqay · 29-10-2013 1:51pm

Well, this was clearly the most idiotic episode so far.

Yeah ... its gonna be the Darth Vadar reveal. A known international terrorist has said she's never seen nor heard of your husband therefore he must be a boyscout. Release him immediately. The cops in Love/Hate Kilinascully have more wits that these elite black-ops guys.

so the terrorist lady says she's never seen tom in her life and bam he's let go? a bit suspect don't you think? still not explanation who the guys are watching them.

He plays the innocent social care worker so well - looking forward to see him going bad.

I wonder who the guys doing surveillance of the house are working for.

And I think Red's main guy is working for the enemy, as in if Red has a main opponent.

Well , Red does have a nemesis - it was mentioned at the end of the last ep (4 I think). We can assume - as thick as this getting - that Red is not the only broker working the markets of international shenanigans.

Should we set up a competition with a points system: detail all our theories and see who is closer

Just finishing up episodes 4 and 5 and while I enjoy the show I really can't see myself giving it 22 episodes a year. The whole villain if the week aspect isn't all that interesting,with only the performanceskeeping me interested. The overall story is interesting and the hints that Spader is himself being hunted by someone powerful is intriguing, as is just what his end game is. SadlyI don't think I can bother with generic villain of the week plots that are wrapped up in 33 minutes

Mc Love · 03-11-2013 7:26am

Christ that was ****e - worst episode (6) of the lot! Its so flawed its turning into a rubbish tv show, seriously thinking of not watching anymore.

The bit in the bathroom when they shoot and nearly kill the terrorist they want to question, and before they capture they say no shots, ffs!

Like sunbabe08 said - too many questions

sunbabe08 · 03-11-2013 9:33am

i kinda like too many questions though, thus the reason for my

at the end keeps me interested in the show, as long as they eventually get answered it'll be alright

although i do expect soon like

who the guys are spying on them

i know bad guy of the week is gonna get old, but it's the drama, the tension around it that makes it interesting.

and i'm pretty much convinced that red is lizzie's dad and her husband is up to something.

sunbabe08 · 06-11-2013 12:13am

loved this episode. very curious

my first thought: the house was that was where Red had his family. i'm getting more and more convinced that Lizzie is his daughter. now either the wife had an affair or it has to do about the accident lizzie had with her hand (i remember she has a scar on her hand, but i can't remember what happened and thus reason he abandoned them.

also, the husband, pfft he's so sweet, it's making it obvious he's hiding something.

Patty O Furniture · 06-11-2013 1:46am

Just watched ep 5, Red seems to go out of his way to keep Lizzie informed of her husband

as a father figure would do

also in the redacted documents does it show

that her husband was a double agent?

myhorse · 06-11-2013 2:27am

My take

Red never went rogue. Was recruited to go undercover to gather all the info for the blacklist by the government years ago.
The link with Lizzie is maybe regarding assuming her father identity earlier on or some connection around their paths crossing when he went off the radar.
The photo Red took in episode 4 is probably way more significant as it was dated the year he went "rogue"

FloatingVoter · 06-11-2013 10:58am

I kept expecting House to turn up in the last episode.

FouxDaFaFa · 06-11-2013 5:26pm

I've watched the first three episodes of this and really like it so far but I have no doubt that I wouldn't be so enamoured with it if James Spader wasn't the lead. He's always been a favourite of mine. There's something very engaging about him.

Great to see Skinny Pete of Breaking Bad back in action. :pac:

Isabella Rossellini had a nice little cameo.

Negatives are "Good guy Mike" from Homeland playing the other FBI agent, the occasionally dodgy special effects and the odd attention paid to style which I think takes away from the action sometimes. (In the symmetry of the shots, it just doesn't work for this particular show).

Mc Love · 09-11-2013 3:44pm

Hmmm think my time has run out for this show! I dont know if it's Lizzie's poor acting or the storyline or even the crap CGI, but its definitely dropped off my most watched list, I can even watch Hawaii Five O before this and thats saying something!

Galwayguy35 · 12-11-2013 8:00pm

I'm hoping Tom turns out to be a stone cold killer.

Mr E · 12-11-2013 9:07pm

Well, that was dark.

Theories about Red being Liz's father look strong again.

FouxDaFaFa · 12-11-2013 10:45pm

The special effects are SO BAD. Sharknado bad. I don't understand how it's possible, they might not have a big budget but there are youtubers doing better than that.

I wish they hadn't gone the lazy route of him being her father.

i made the comment of that was dramatic, which is was. twists and turns

was it me or did tom look all dark in this episode?

oh wait it's nbc:rolleyes:

Dave147 · 13-11-2013 8:14pm

I can't believe people are still watching this show after first 3 episodes, besides James Spader there is nothing redeeming about it, which is a shame as I want to fill my Breaking Bad void, one Homeland a week isn't enough!

Queen-Mise · 13-11-2013 10:09pm

I think they made a mistake getting a bad guy each week - it is putting it slightly above Bones as opposed to a Homeland type show.

Even a bad guy ever few weeks - and she is asking for help far too often.

Sully · 16-11-2013 12:14am

I have to say, I really enjoy this. Besides the fact she is an absolute stunner, I really enjoy it. Its more their storyline that intrigues me, I have to admit, rather than the storylines which are a bit meh. Putting a good episode story ontop of their issues would really make this IMO.

Daroxtar · 25-11-2013 11:59pm

Thought it was beginning to fade but ep 8 was good. Answered the big question

sham69 · 27-11-2013 4:50pm

latest episode was very good if a bit like die hard....
Looking forward to the next.
Still plenty in this to keep me watching, spader is just class..

sunbabe08 · 27-11-2013 5:04pm

oh my god oh my god oh my god. that had me at the edge of my seat.

FloatingVoter · 27-11-2013 7:33pm

It appears now that breaking into my house would be harder that strolling into a Black-ops facility. I'm reckoning Spader's boredom with the CIA whatever is just mirroring his own boredom with the scripts. Bad gimp with a scar who fails to turn up with explosives. This new villain wouldn't know how to apply for a passport never mind have ten on the go at the same time.

I'm still gonna watch part 2 though

Think that was the general idea though, red kept on saying how much smarter he was than him. can't believe he let him kill two of his associates though. i was starting to like the black guy.

So was I, but I'm beginning to notice Boardwalk Empire will need some new black faces soon. Perhaps he did too.

We don't actually see the black guy getting killed though?
Looks likely but why not show it?

Nah, I'm pretty sure he's dead. Unfortunately.

I don't know, we know that character better than the asian woman so to give him a more dignified exit?

It's kind of poetic justice for Red, he takes away one of the most important people to Lizzie, he has two of the most important people to him killed in the next episode.

Unless the gunshot is IT guy coming out of the shadows but that seems incredibly unlikely.

Just caught up with the last two ep, well hello

Daddy

I liked it when the two were sitting at the table & either Tom has amnesia or he's a really good spy

& then it knocked up a notch with die hard action scenes & no wonder as i saw that name somewhere else & when you read that he's a bad ass director Joe Carnahan

looking forward to the 2nd part.
