Is anyone still watching Blacklist? I think that I've missed an ep or two. Tom appears to be some sort of spy or something? There are guns and watchposts, and the slutty colleague is dead maybe?

Tom is definitely a baddun. He is 'handling' Lizzie, but the origin of his badness is, as yet, not entirely known.

Slutty colleague was also a baddun, working with Tom...or alongside...or something.

I'm still watching and still enjoying.

Tom is BAD. Slutty colleague - Jolene or whatever her name was? - definitely dead. Was working for the same people as Tom ... and we don't know who they are. Yet.

The Tom stuff was known, or sort of, from way back. He was exposed but managed to convince her he was set up, or something. Red always knew. I think the audience was never certain.

Red knows all ... but tells fuck-all. And only in bits and pieces at that.

In all fairness to Red, Lizzie wouldn't have believed him if he had just told her. She had to find out for herself.

He told her a bunch of times. This one's not on him.

Man, she's stupid. (See also: oh hai freshly burning bucket of documents. I think I will not kick you over until later. Whoops, ashes.)

Groan. Totally this. Having had _extensive_ experience burning piles of papers (what?) it struck me instantly, how hard it would be to obliterate a non-crumpled, stack...that fact.

Red really has warned her a bunch of times. Lizzie really needs to extend her discernment abilities from her work life to her personal life. Tons of evidence really ought to have turned her head by now.

Yes, lawd. I have to watch the show on tivo delay so that I can fast forward through her stupid.

I don't generally complain about tv because...hey, entertainment.

Having said that, I wish Scott Bakula would become so enamored of something else in his life that acting holds no more thrall for him.

I'm a fan. So much so, it hurts to see him either stretched beyond his skills or just not much caring.

I watched NCIS original recipe just to see how Bakula would do as an NCISpinoff. Ugh.

He looks great, but that amorphous, coming and going southern accent is just painful. "My brothuh" and "boo" made my teeth ache. Especially up against Lucas Black's actual southern accent.

Bakula isn't a Yankee, but sheesh.
