Venting Blacklist

an operatic perversion of righteous intent

Everything is a misdirect.

This entire show is a misdirect.

None of it actually happened.

There is no blacklist. 

There never was a blacklist. 

You’re not reading this right now.

If they offer the whole series on blu ray, I would probably buy it. Bad as it is, it was a weird chunk of my life.

My dream ending:

Jennifer returns. Kills everyone. 

[shreddingnemo]

… as a ghost.

Jennifer was the bull.

It's a little amusing to see people realizing things five years later.

His silence falls, and he has no more words for her, nothing that will fit, nothing that will tell her everything he can never say. [x]

I'm sure they're trying for 29 seasons so this would never happen, but what we needed was a solid five eps or so just completely in the past. No narrator. Not flashbacks or memories. Not partial information. Just a bunch of eps showing in detail what happened.

On the second to last day before Christmas the co gave to me, one tin of popcorn, one box of chocolates, five candy caaaanes. And a long lecture about the wrongness of opening presents on Christmas Eve.

“That f**ker does not come down the f**kin’ chimney until Christmas morning.”

The co has since retired. I miss him and I miss the early seasons of the blacklist.

There you have it.

My respect to the Redarina people who stuck it out past season five with everything against them, including a cowardly network that wouldn't let the writers just say it.

I'm not going to pretend this was all handled skillfully, even halfway skillfully, but there it is.

There may have been some significance about bulls that I didn't see earlier in the series, idk.

Aside from my initial reaction of amazement (people sat in a room and decided this was the way to kill reddington. This will go down in tv death history), my brain went to 'i wonder if there's a legend of some kind of bull from hell.' The bull version of the scythe. Like this is death itself come to claim him. The show begins with 'sympathy for the devil' and ends with him being dragged back to hell. But I couldn't really find anything.

Raymond Reddington trampled into a dent in the dirt by a bull.

I was actually moved by Dembe's life speech (even if it was a lil long and trite) and then the bull and Red faced off and I couldn't stop laughing.

They didn't have the balls to go full Redarina but they had the balls to do that. Amazing.

hey, remember when the fulcrum was in three parts and one ended up in the hands of, presumably, some rich dude’s daughter, and one wound up buried in a presidential state car, and they never mentioned it again?

I’ll never forgive Fox for canceling Pitch. NEVER.

Hannibal. And Penny Dreadful.
