Missed the last scene. During the fadeout there was about to be a pan to a significant face. Is it only significant in that it will show up again, or significant that if I had not missed it I would have recognized it? Also: does the next episode have a plot?

Um... I can answer all of those questions, more or less.
Here: You could not have recognised the face, but it is significant. And the next episode does have more of something resembling a plot.
Actually, after the episode aired, a lot of people thought the eyes and glasses looked as if they belonged to Alex Ferguson, ex-manager of Manchester United, which led to some interesting speculation.
I have read the comments, and holy crap! Benedict Cumberbatch's mother was the Fendahl!
And Virginia Lake from UFO!
Also, Susan's mother on Coupling.

Hey, I don't choose what you drink.
James Spader is still amazing on The Blacklist. However, I would like the writers to move into the real goddamned world and know that the FBI only operates domestically, so they can't go to Hungary (with guns) and arrest a suspect.
Is anyone still watching Castle? It just seems so formulaic these days.
I like the characters enough that I'm still watching.
I'm loving Blacklist ... James Spader is good. Was he always good and we just didn't see it because he was being pretty? or did it come with getting older and less pretty?

Some people have always seen it.
While his talent in, say, Pretty in Pink might not be on a par with Laurence Olivier, I think he's always been talented as hell. Granted, he tends to stick with roles that are, more or less, James Spader Is A Freak Who Likes To Get His Freak On. But that's okay.
Seriously, sex, lies, and videotape is literally 25 years old. (Jesus Christ, it's 25 years old.) And he was fantastic in that.
