The Blacklist

Does anyone else watch the new James spader show? Or am I alone?

[Awesomeness Summoned Savant]

Nope, I'm a big fan. Can never go wrong with James Spader and the role he plays on that show is perfect for him.

He was so badass when went to find who he thought was Berlin. Who do you think he is in relation to liz?

[Awesomeness Summoned Savant]

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.

[Awesomeness Summoned Savant]

I haven't looked around for fansites on it. Really the only fansites I usually follow are for books. I occasionally watch video reviews and commentaries for shows but that's about it.

[SmurfAquamarineBodies Soulcaster]

Meh, I'll just continue to watch it with my mates. And post on this page I guess. Now for the important question what do you think if our lord and saviour Dembe? Because he's probably the best side character in the show.

[Awesomeness Summoned Savant]

Completely agree. Red is definitely the best character but next on my list would be dembe then Tom

[SmurfAquamarineBodies Soulcaster]

Then resler, if that's how you spell it. The blond guy. Who's your favourite number so far?

[Awesomeness Summoned Savant]

Think I have to go with Anslo Garrick (#16). The scene where Red and Dembe were saying goodbye to each other I think was one of my favorites of the season.

True that is quite a good scene, but I think my favourite number is Frederick Barnes. His motives for his crimes were something I understood. He also acted in a way that was understandable. But in close second comes the alchemist because that stuff is awesome.

[SmurfAquamarineBodies Soulcaster]

Bit of a necro, by I like to live on the edge.

Anyway the new season has started, what do you think of it?

Am I the only one that Reddington reminds of Hoid?
