Blindspot 30 Day Favorites Challenge
Day 10 - Favorite Male Characters (Guest): #2 Best of the Rest
Robert Borden aka Nigel Thornton - Borden’s shock return gave Patterson closure and a chance to move on with her life. What a pity that his resurrection came courtesy of an undercover CIA operation, meaning that Patterson was betrayed again - this time by her best friend Zapata. At least Kurt got payback for his previous attempt to stop Borden, when Weller had ended the chase locked in his own handcuffs.
Clem Hahn - I liked Clem, and he would have been a character I’d have welcomed back in Season 4 - if only the writers had not made yet another serious mistake and allowed Jane to spend a night of passion with him. I’m glad he and Weller parted as friends, Clem conceding defeat in the love triangle that should never have been.
Daschelle Watkins - Dash, the conspiracy theorist, was smart, cute and funny. He may have got a few key details wrong in his theory about the Golden Rhino, but Patterson did right to boost his ego. After all, without Dash’s help they would never have captured Hank Crawford’s scary WMD.
Bill Nye - I was unable to share the fandom’s rapture over Bill Nye’s appearance. He is completely unknown in my country, and the first time I’d heard his name was when Reade rolled up in a bow tie in Season 1. The humor in the S3 episode seemed forced, although Kurt’s fanboy turn was hilarious. But Bill Nye made the perfect father for Patterson, and at last gave us some insight into her background.
