I'm trying to emotionally distance myself a bit from this show just to preserve my sanity but I'm still going to finish out the season. Gotta see my baby!! ❤️ Here are my mostly-calm thoughts while watching ep18: -Are we sure Kaplan isn't actually dead? She looks like a zombie. -seriously Dude, sunglasses?? Oh yeah, make sure you lean in real close and whisper to that cop so he knows for sure you're crazy! -Raymond is so polite with everybody! -I'm so not enjoying this Red vs Kaplan thing :( -oh Red I love your stories!!! -Chipwick!! Hahaha!!!! -I'm glad you've finally mentioned some guilt Liz but it's too little too late for me. -dang Kate, creepy much?? *shivers* -"it's no surprise you don't remember with everything you've been through." TBL writers: "yeah that'll work, no further explanation needed!" -Liz and Samar get to go on a field trip together?? YAY!!!! -Red trying not to cry twists my heart like nothing else! -"I really only have one friend. You're my friend" 😭😭😭 Forget Lizzington, I ship Dembe and Red now!! -WHATS IN THE BOX???? -"you're the dirty rat, Diane" *chills* -yeah, relax Donnie! It's only gun safety!! 🙄 (pet peeve) -"that's an alternative truth" - my new mantra while I watch the show -alone? Did something happen to Marvin's fiancée?? -the fingerprint thing is interesting but I'm confused, it was on the brush cleaner, why were they so sure it'd be Reddington's??? Why would he have touched that? I feel like I missed something. -poor Marvin! But I think Red will help him. -ugh, Aram, you blew it. Leave her alone ok? And geez, can't Samar get some recognition without a man stepping in to help her?? There are some real issues with the way these female characters get written and their storylines!
