While we are all losing hundreds of brain cells a day watching menopausal women arguing about invisible journeys, improper apologies, overweight mini-ponies and patting their pusses, dramatic television continues to improve without our notice. I’ve been unable to watch The Blacklist for months now. I was sure I had fallen so far behind I could […]
The Blacklist
Just finished this week’s episode. Was that the season finale? Is someone coming to take the fulcrum? Who is the good guy? Tom Keene? Reddington? IS THERE A GOOD GUY? What does Red want with the assassin lady with all of the disguises. Why did he send Mr. Kaplan, I thought she was simply for […]
The Blacklist: The Decembrist (No. 12) (Recap)
First, I am sorry once again for this taking so long. Y’all know I love The Blacklist, but sadly brawling housewives take precedence here over scripted shows. I have to pay the bills. 🙂 But I’m excited to finally have a moment to see what I missed. So let’s get going and find out what a “Decembrist” […]
Should We Talk About The Blacklist?
I didn’t recap the episode from last week because it was gross. Like stewmaker gross. Only this time crazy people were hunting other people for sport and stuffing them and arranging them into little villages. Or something. I could barely pay attention. Plus we have come to the part of the season where no one […]
The Blacklist: Dr. Linus Creel (No. 82)
There sure are a lot of doctors on The Blacklist. This week’s doctor, Linus Creel is only 7 numbers away on the list from last week’s Dr. James Covington. I really should put all the blacklisters in order by name and number or get an unpaid intern to volunteer. 🙂 If anyone is willing, you […]
The Blacklist: Dr. James Covington No. 89
This week we began with a guy named Wyatt eating at an outdoor restaurant. Unbeknownst to him, this is his last meal. He was snatched away by a kidnapper who he knew was looking for him. The guy takes him to an operating room in some hospital where this week’s blacklister, Dr. James Covington, informs him that his […]
The Blacklist: Monarch Douglas Bank (No. 112)
On tonight’s The Blacklist the title has the name of a bank not a Blacklister. How is a bank on the list with a number? This is one of those shows I have to watch twice so you won’t see this reap until tomorrow! (Um, “tomorrow” was an overly industrious prediction. Sorry I’m so late.) […]
The Blacklist Season Premiere: Lord Baltimore No. 104
OMG THIS IS SO GOOD ALREADY! Red is in a Jeep in Cameroon looking a bit worse for wear. His apparent captors have bazookas and are blowing up anything that drives up behind them to high heaven. Red is taken to a compound. Berlin hired this dude, Yibari, to kill Red but Red ws two steps ahead […]
The Blacklist Returns in TWO DAYS!
I’m so excited for the premiere of The Blacklist I can’t stand it! I hope you are doing your homework. I will be collecting your papers. You’ve been warned!
It’s Almost Time For The Blacklist to Come Back! Time to Catch Up!
The first season of The Blacklist was a mixed bag of bad writing, bad acting and the fabulous James Spader. The show continued to improve from episode to episode and thankfully so did my recaps. I started this post to link you to all of my recaps but basically in the beginning there was a […]
The Blacklist Finale Recap: Berlin Conclusion Finale
As we begin the episode, the plane is down with lots of surviors who are roaming around like The Night of The Living Dead. Didn’t the entire last episode happen at the end of the day? Early evening? Why is Matt Lauer reporting the shooting on The Today Show? The FBI has several of the […]
The Blacklist Berlin (No. 8) Part One Recap
Oh yay! We wake up to a man coughing up blood. Instead of calling in sick like a normal person, he opts to go in and infect everyone else with his disease. He’s an armored truck employee who is making a delivery to a bank. He barely makes the delivery takes a side trip to […]
The Blacklist The Kingmaker (No. 42)
Time to recap The Blacklist! We begin in Prague when a man is picked up in a limo speaking to a contact about something. He tells the contact to tell Reddington that everything is fine. He takes a drink of water from the limo bar and passes out. The next thing that happens is the […]
The Blacklist Recap: The Pavlovich Brothers (NOS. 119 -122)
Finally, after an eternity of waiting, it’s finally time to see the show where Liz and Tom come face to face and confront each other. Thankfully, we are not in China, because the Chinese government pulled the episode from the internet today because it portrays the Chinese government in a bad light. I bet the […]
The Blacklist: Milton Bobbit (No. 135) Recap
We start this episode of The Blacklist with a woman getting into a NYC taxi to go to the airport. She calls her kid and tells her she is on the way home. Then the cab driver goes nuts, begins driving erratically and blows up the taxi in a massive fire killing both the driver and […]
The Blacklist Recap: Ivan (No. 88)
One second in and already it is clear that production was unable to afford lighting services. I get that lots of this show happens in the shadows, but there is really no point in filming scenes that we can’t see! Like this first one. A lone dude is in a room full of computers working […]
The Blacklist Recap: Mako Tanida (No. 83)
Normally, when we get a new Blacklist name, and this week it is Mako Tanida, we start to wonder what their deal is and how they fit into the picture. This week? All we care about is Tom Keen! So of course they start the show with Tom and start giving us all the tea […]
The Blacklist Recap: The Judge
Disclaimer: I am in some sort of brain fog today. This took forever. I might edit for clarity later. Maybe. An assistant US attorney who has been missing for twelve years is found roaming the snowy back roads of Pennsylvania. He is taken to a hospital and identified as the missing prosecutor, Mark Hastings. His wife, […]
The Blacklist: Madeline Pratt (No. 73)
The much awaited return of The Blacklist is finally here! In this episode we meet a mysterious woman from Reddington’s past, Madeline Pratt. There seems to be a lot of chemistry between Red and the woman of mystery. There will also need to be some mention of the fact that Red killed Diane Fowler on the […]
The Blacklist Recap: The Cyprus Agency (No. 64)
From the title alone I get the feeling that this episode is very different. Have we ever had an entire agency on the blacklist before? Will we finally figure out the deal with Tom since Tom and Liz are coincidently in the middle of the adoption process at the same time Red decides to out […]
The Blacklist Recap: The Alchemist
It’s time for another episode of The Blacklist. Will we get any answers to anything this episode? It looks like it may be another bloody episode, which I could live without, but where James Spader leads, I will follow. In the highlight reel from previous episodes, they show us Ressler’s ex-girlfriend arriving at his bedside in the […]
The Blacklist Recap: The Good Samaritan
It feels like forever since we last saw The Blacklist. And in the interim, James Spader picked up a Golden Globe nomination for his role! This week, I will experience a technical difficulty about half way through. I was taping two things and watching other shows on DVR. When I finished my recaps the TV […]
James Spader Nominated For Golden Globe for The Blacklist!
Many of our favorite actors and actress got Golden Globe Nominations this morning for the 2014 Golden Globes Awards. LIKE JAMES SPADER FOR THE BLACKLIST!!!!! and Kerry Washington for Scandal, Janet McTeer for The White Queen who is up against another favorite of mine Hayden Panettiere. Rob Lowe got a well deserved nod as well, for Behind the Candelabra . Speaking […]
The Blacklist Recap: Anslo Garrick Part Deux
I just noticed that my last recap of The Blacklist got a whopping FIVE COMMENTS. What the fuck is wrong with you people? I am trying to lead you to salvation! I usually save this show for a night when my brain has not turned to mush from recapping RHOBH and Vanderpump Rules, but I […]
The Blacklist: Anslo Garrick
Oh God. There is a special violent content warning for this episode. Why does it have to be so disgusting? AND it’s a two parter. Will I need a Xanax for this episode? We go straight to a scene where Red is cutting up a live person with a rusty knife. Ugh. Flashback only 13 […]
The Blacklist: Episode 8 General Ludd [No.103]
Wow, interesting opening scene. A dad and his son tossing around a football in the park on a beautiful day, but as they get ready to leave, an airplane starts to fall from the sky in pieces, including a decapitated passenger still strapped to seat. Father and son, dead. The criminal this week is General […]
The Blacklist: Frederick Barnes [No 47]
It looks like our Blacklist guy this week will be played by Dr. House’s BBF on House. He doesn’t look the part of a bad guy but he just poisoned a whole train car full of people! All before the credits even start! I guess on this show he is a bad guy that leaves […]
The Blacklist Recap: Gina Zanetakos
We pick up where we left off with Liz and her husband arguing over the box of money and passports and the gun. Husband says he has no idea WTF is going on. Douchebag guy is already being a douchebag. She takes her husband Tom in her people. Holy Crap! Tom is having an affair […]
The Blacklist: The Courier
Stop! Stop! Stop! We are less than a minute and a half in and JUST STOP RIGHT THERE! Let’s think about this for a moment. You are an FBI agent, with one assumes a brain and a million bucks or so worth of investigative training. When in the manual does it say, “If you find […]
