this series rapidly becoming a milestone
A_Different_Drummer30 November 2014
First the review -- superb, this 2-parter, top to bottom, is in many ways as good as most of the "spy" feature films done in the 90s. Which is either a great compliment for this series or severe trash-talk for Hollywood in the 90s.

But there is a larger picture, especially since all the gurus and sages (this written Dec 2014) are now saying that network TV as we know has maybe another 10 years left before it completely implodes and is taken over by streaming content.

Something really interesting happened to "network TV" around the approximate time of BREAKING BAD. It is as if someone took all the traditional plot arcs .. and burned them. And then replaced them with some really interesting new ways to tell a story and maintain viewer interest at the same time.

Which is not to say that everything that is being produced today is a jewel; far from it. But doesn't it seem like just yesterday when the best a TV producer could do was try to remake Hawaii 5-0 or the Six Million Dollar Man...? In my view one of the three best shows currently in production as this review is written. (The other two are PERSON OF INTEREST and BANSHEE).

Intense to the End

Red has secrets, of course. Secrets that are beyond what anyone can know. Hence he becomes the most prized of quantities. We pick up as that lunatic uses every method he can to get Red out of the secure unit. Of course, Lizzie comes into play. What is their real relationship? Red is taken and brutally tortured, but sometimes emotions get in the way of direction. Alan Alda shows up as a big boss who negotiates with Red for a while. An issue that is alway here is that Red has so many irons in the fire that getting rid of him has a trickle down effect that has to be dealt with, causing havoc. There are some important things addressed at the end, including a reference to Liz's husband.

(Un)intentional mistake?

Warning: Spoilers
In parallel with the last season of the series, I started watching The Blacklist again from the beginning. Unfortunately, at some point there was a sudden drop in quality, however, episodes like this are what drew me to the series. However, this episode either contains a clue or the writers made an inadvertent mistake: Many episodes later we learn that the real Raymond Reddington is long dead and that James Spader is an impostor. At the end of the episode, Harold Cooper tells how they found blood that the lab confirmed was Reddington's, meaning that James Spader is the real Reddington after all. The third possibility is that at that moment the screenwriters hadn't yet decided to complicate the story with the alleged impostor. On the other hand, James Spader confirmed in an interview that he knew from the beginning that he was playing an impostor.
