    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.

    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 :D

    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

    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

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

    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.

    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?

    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"

    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).

    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!

    Well, that was dark.

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

    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 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!

    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.

    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.

    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 ;)
