    No Red this week and that was the best episode in a while.

    This could be all kinds of awesome if they get it right.

    The Blacklist's Makeshift Finale to Mix Animation With Live-Action Scenes
    Raymond Reddington has always been an animated guy — but The Blacklist is about to take that literally.

    The drama’s makeshift Season 7 finale (airing Friday, May 15 at 8/7c) will include scenes with graphic novel-style animation, NBC announced Tuesday, as a workaround to the pandemic-induced production shutdown..........

    Cast members recorded dialogue from their homes for the animated sequences, while editors and animators also completed their work remotely..........

    Caught up with this last night, hadn't watched since the mid season break but did a binge the last few nights.
    For some reason all the plot twists throughout the season annoy me a little and I'd lost a bit of interest. The episodes themselves are very good tho. Really enjoyed the one without Reddington.

    Really looking forward to seeing how they do the finale with the animation. Also they are destroying the character of Liz making her so gullible to believe everything Katarina say.

    Jeez that was a pretty poor episode.
    The animation was very stiff, like a bad 2005 video game.

    I know they had to do something, but I think this fake rotoscoping didn't work.

    Watched the episode Roy Cain which seemed to be a conclusion to a previous episode but the episode i watched before that was the one with Ressler's brother. What is the episode name where the kidnapping of the Imam took place?

    You skipped episode 16
    Nyle Hatcher is the name of it according to IMDb

    Latest episode was rubbish due to very poor animation. Still looking forward to season 8 though

    I think I would have been able to do better animation on my phone than they pulled off in that but I applaud them for doing it, a lot better than just leaving it hanging.

    The animation was done by a previsualisation company which is a sort of digital storyboarding to map out scenes for sets, camera moves and the like before going into production. They did months of work in a few weeks which was ambitious for a half hour of footage. There was a Blacklist comic which is what led producers to go with the idea.

    I didn't mind it, it was a disjointed episode I found hard to follow but it was a gutsy idea to try to complete the episode. The cast & crew interlude at the start was cringy.

    Poor final episode, but innovation aside, it tops a pretty poor season frankly.

    Damn, RIP...
    West Nile virus (WNV) is the leading cause of mosquito-borne disease in the continental United States. It is most commonly spread to people by the bite of an infected mosquito. Cases of WNV occur during mosquito season, which starts in the summer and continues through fall. There are no vaccines to prevent or medications to treat WNV in people. Fortunately, most people infected with WNV do not feel sick. About 1 in 5 people who are infected develop a fever and other symptoms. About 1 out of 150 infected people develop a serious, sometimes fatal, illness.

    A decent start setting up the season.

    A bit disappointed they recast Dom however it is understandable since Dom does play a big role in liz's life.

    Not the first season opener of The Blacklist where (a) I have no idea what's going on, and (b) I'm wondering why I'm still watching this show.

    It's years past its peak now.

    Is this the real end to Season 7, or is it really Season 8?

    I think I still see glimmers of greatness beneath the tedium so I'm sticking it out until the end. Hopefully this is the final season.

    After 7 or 8 years of the writers dodging the truth of Red's true identity, it looks like the dodging might be up, but then again who knows with that crowd.

    I think that before each series was written, the writers all got together, and the first question was "who are we going to imply that he is this time?" After making the decision, we were all led up the garden path again.

    During season 7 I was even thinking that Red could have had a sex change operation decades before, and that he was in fact Elizabeth's mother :D
