The Blacklist


Recommended Posts

There are definite spoilers following for anyone that hasn't watched it but plans to

I've been convinced from nearly the beginning of the season that he was her biological father. When he told her he has never lied to her about anything and then he answered her question "are you my father?" With an affirmative no, I started to question that. But then, was that just their way of throwing us off because they knew people were guessing he was her father?

In the last episode, he told her that he can say without question that her father died in the fire at their house. Then they showed at the end that his entire body is covered in burn scars.

I have two theories now. He is speaking metaphorically when he says her father died in the fire. Red is her father but the man he was back then died in the fire. He's a different person, not the man that was her father.

The second theory is that he is her uncle. He ran into the fire to save his brother (her father) but was too late. Red promised to take care of her before his brother died.

Both have major flaws and will likely be wrong but I can't really think of any other reason Red would care about Liz as much as he does.

My current theory is that her father was red's friend ( one we haven't seen ) who was part of the group that did in berlin's daughter. I think Berlin had the house burnt down, red was most likely going to visit then when he got there he saved her took her to Sam and has been trying to find out why ever since.

I admit that I never thought he was her dad because when liz and red first met cooper had them run a DNA test, which came back negative.

The only other reason I can think of him caring is if Liz is his friends only daughter, perhaps red loved liz's mother?

Are there any fansites for the blacklist? I've tried looking but only found review sites that don't have any good theories.
