This show. This fucking show ugh.
How did Tom go from idgaf to the greatest character?
Also the FBI and Red can go die. The FBI are sooooo frickin incompetent its ridiculous. "Why not check where the helicopter has been?" "OMG Red ur so rite".
And Red...this guy...
Anyway can we just have the Tom Keen show please? I want more Keen/Bourne shoot outs and chase scenes.

I think it's a new thing. Suits has a commercial with Jessica talking about how much she loves Lexus and jazz as they drive around.
It's so corny.

How can lizzy be in the FBI and the first thing she does is break his thumb, isnt that things not to do 101?
I was one of the people who hated the tom subplot, hated. Now I can say I actually love it, they actually sold him being a bitch early in the season so when he became a badass it totally works.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
Lizzy isn't a very good FBI agent - first off, she essentially alerts Tom when she goes to spy on him (when Red pretty much had Tom under constant surveillance and it's not smart for someone like Liz to spy on someone like Tom when Tom is VERY familiar of what Liz looks like) and then she breaks Tom's thumb when he's wearing handcuffs.
On the first point, I almost think it would have been better for Liz to admit to being in the Archives and creating some type of excuse than to deny it.
Yeah totally could've used a work related excuse, lying was dumb.

The problem is that they've built it up to be this such big revelation that it is bound to be underwhelming.
We'll see.
It's not the finale tonight, is it?Season finale tonight :woo:
Ripclawe is banned, won't be posting tonight
Why was he banned?
tonight's ep + two more.
Thanks. Don't know why I thought it was tonight. Maybe the announcer and previews were so intense, figured it was the finale.
This episode was 'meh' overall for me
. But the next episode preview?
(Promo spoilers.)
save for the bit at the end; knew that would come to bite Red in the ass eventually
(Promo spoilers.)
Ohhh boy. Lizzie is finally putting her brain to use. BERLIN IS A PERSON. Is this who Tom works for? He's been going after Red the whole time? Aaaaah. Two episodes left; summer is gonna suck till Blacklist comes back.
My biggest issue with the show is Lizzy. I was totally cool with her at first. I mean she was an analyst/profiler not a field agent, so her personality and skill level made sense. But then they made her a front line agent because Red's demands. Okay. But how many times does she basically blow the mission? How many times does she alert the suspect and break into a chase only to lose the perp?
They do everything to make you hate her. She's so incompetent and stupid. I was raging out when she bolted out of Red's car and alerted Tom, then later that night she scolds Red for always talking about patience. And the kicker? That cringe inducing scene where Red tells Lizzy she deserves everything. Made me sick. How high can she be put on a pedestal while being an insufferable fool?
I'm totally fine with the crap writing. This show is enjoyable in a cheesy way. I loved the monster of the week style episodes in the first half of the season. Spader is always fun to watch. But man they keep pushing Lizzy further and further down.

This show us really starting to get into The Following territory where the 'smart' characters are only smart relative to the dumbness of the other characters. It's like they can't come up with ways to write the characters to actually be smart or insightful. James Spader is really carrying the show, although the more morose James Spader of the last episode isn't as fun.

James Spader looks like a completely different person when he grows his hair out.

I want nothing more tan for Tom to live. And to get some answers. I would be okay with Agent Keen passing away though.

Considering she's the main character, I doubt that will ever happen.
Oh, and I think I have cracked the show's mystery. Berlin is the man who killed Red's family. In retaliation, Red kidnapped his daughter and gave her to his friend Sam, whom he named Elizabeth. Berlin had been searching for his daughter for the past 30 or so years, until he found her. He then sent his agent "Tom" to get close to her, so that 1) he could keep tabs on her and 2) eventually get to Red. So Elizabeth is important to both parties because she is the bridge via which Berlin and Red will find and try to kill each other, because they both destroyed the other's family. They are the two sides of the same coin.

this... is actually not a bad theory. i would be ok if this was how things played out.

Keep watching.
Honestly at this point, the procedural part only exists for a reason or Reddington to do something with his plan. It's really taken a back seat.
That's an excellent theory! I'm impressed. Thanks for sharing.
