Blacklist Redemption 1x03
This episode may have been my favorite so far. So many things to appreciate about this episode:
1) Nez being a badass. The smacking down the pervert at the bank, hitting Tom’s ‘wife’ with a car, and the sassing she gave the Russian b**** were all great to watch. She did seemed pretty jazzed to be An American, given her involvement with the Nuclear facility heist and her assaults on FBI agents in the Blacklist, but I think I’m going to let it go, and enjoy the ride, because I had fun watching and that’s all that really matters.
2) Soloman the loyal ‘brother’ to Scottie and hostage negotiator. I doubt I’ll ever get tired of listening to him talk. It’s so genial and terrifying.
3) Tom slamming hard on the breaks with his fake wife in the shower scene. I’m not sure it was particularly smart to give the woman his wife’s American name, but at least they didn’t try to torture the audience with Tom’s potential ‘infidelity’.
4) Tom and Nez bonding. Tom needs friends.
5) Moving the Howard plot foward with the man who tracked Tom.
6) Introducing the possibility of Scottie NOT being Tom’s mother. There’s a crazy thought...
I hope they stay the course next episode.
