Blindspot was Fantastic! Evil Did I Dwell...Lewd Did I Live
Okay, you guys!!! Let me get this out of the way: I stand by my prediction of who dies. Borden is gone, but he wasn't going to return anyway. I APPLAUD BLINDSPOT WRITERS ROOM FOR HAVING BALLS TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON THEIR PLOT TWIST. Ashley Johnson gave the performance of her career, and Alex Berger immortalized her Patterson, facing Borden and standing by her ethics and principles. ""I took an oath to my country to the bureau to uphold the law..." "you betrayed me. You destroyed me, you don't get out of this." #Blindspot THATS HOW YOU WRITE A GASLIGHT STORYLINE! You do not make the villain a romantic hero after traumatizing the heroine, compromising her ethics and trust! Otherwise you're a cliche writer, in love with the bad boy. No. YOU PROTECT YOUR HEROINE AND MARTIN GERO DID THAT. Difference between Blacklist writers and Blindspot? The writing of female characters. They're not victims, they're heroes. Liz' character, had she killed Om Keen in Season 1, the writers wouldn't be so far away from their original story. Samar is reduced to plot, not allowed to behave or lash out how she feels... and even female villains get to be romantic leads. Yeah no. Patterson's speech immortalizes her as a strong heroine forever changed by Borden. She's no victim. She's hardened, and that makes her a much more edgier character. She's root-worthy because she did follow through with her oath to her country and to her career as an agent. She's not black n white, she's a lively shade of gray. Berger' dialogue in this episode brought character driven story to a higher level. The Blindspot ensemble is a family, get ready for the team to expand, but become a well oiled machine. Tasha: "we need to talk about Reed." Again, in character, not wishy washy. Painful but goes to her boss to save her friend-because they are a "family." That's the tagline that will come to fruition at end of season. Nas: foreshadowing. That wasn't Cade who tried to kill her so.....But Cade gave her the warning regarding Phase 2: "when it goes down, so will you." Nas is going down. Bank it. Still, STRONG HEROINES NOT DAMSELS IN DISTRESS. Jane: oh my goodness. Lots of story was spilled but if you Jellers weren't excited at Jane inside the baby's nursery (like I said waaaaaaaaaaybback in the fall) then I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU. "Will you go back and forth...?" "We haven't figured that out yet." I did! Didn't I? Look up my posts. Allie.... where's she moving? Colorado. Where's Lake Aurora? Colorado. Weller/Jane/Baby.... so cuuuuuuuuuuute. (Don't say to me you did not love that because I don't believe you. 😂😂😂😂) Bad ass Jane. ""We are not on the same side." Nope take that to the bank! See all those foreshadowing black and white flashbacks of mean Remi? "This doesn't belong to you." "This doesn't belong to me." "I like you...a lot" Yeah Oliver does....you guys have NO IDEA but you will. "I came to STOP JANE DOE!" Yes Cade... he don't like you Jane. Well you're kind of a mean bitchy person. Now I asked this in the last episode so I'll say it again WHO IS JANE WITH KISSING WHEN ROMAN SEES HER AND HE GOES BALLISTIC and kills Taylor Shaw's mother? It's not Oscar. It's not Cade. Jane flying through the laundry chute and then kicking Cade's ass.... Who's fighting.... and why is Jane having all these flashbacks all the sudden? Jane's getting closer to the truth.... "Jane Doe has Amnesia." But not much longer.... That scene with the team at Weller's Patterson confronting Reade, Tasha snooping to get the scoop on Oliver...Jane snooping to find out what are Kurt's baby plans... Jane lovingly gazes at the crib..." Foreshadowing!!! Shepherd is coming back count on it she needs Weller for her master plan. Well we will be in a do or die situation during phase 2. It will change everything for everyone. I love my wonder twins. Roman in his plastic bedroom I can deal... I think he needs to be kept in there like an X Men superhero. "Mr McGee don't make me angry. You wouldn't like it if I'm angry..." "He's below us! It's just Shepherd, me and you." Says evil Remi "You can't keep him locked up forever." Says Cade. Are we excited? Jane went to see Oliver and accepted his text! "This doesn't belong to me." Man Oliver all happy making out with Jane then Pow! Kidnapped. Who on earth would do such a thing?🤔🤔🤔🤔😂 "If anything ever happened to ya I'd miss you." Kurt is gonna go insane. Let me get this out of the way: DAMMIT I LIKE OLIVER and you'll see why next week and three episodes later. We got five weeks left people! Contact NBC and tell them how much you love the show but wish it were in a different SLOT this *is* what Blindspot creators are fighting for and to loosen WB grip on creative rights... NBC is listening. Unfortunately it's in competition with Blacklist so you *will* see comparisons in the writing. The differences are how Blindspot writers stick with their arc, whereas Blacklist writers have not. I think Gero assumes they won't again so he's going full steam ahead with his pairing, a humongous plot twist, a shocking death... and an amazing terrorist attack. Get ready. So watch, call and let's hope for the best because this is a great show. Just don't jiggle the single cam so much...
