Is this where Blacklist gets discussed? Or is there some other thread?

Yes, Wolfram.

Your link didn't show me anything, sj. Just goes to Amazon.

Thanks, sj. Just caught up with last week's episode. Wife and I are confused. Were we not supposed to be able to see the face in that picture that she snapped a photo of with her (backup?) flipphone?

Is there still supposed to be a mystery about whether Red is Elizabeth's dad or not?

Did anyone else think Rambaldi device when the fulcrum finally did its thing?

It was a gold box deal from two days ago; so, the link has expired. Sorry.

Oh, okay. Didn't notice the date on your post - I keep unsubscribing from this thread and forgetting to resubscribe, I miss things.

Wolfram, I'm hoping that there is an awesome payoff to the question of whether or not Red is Liz's father.

It seems inevitable to me that he is, but given all the to and fro, I can't figure out if it is just bad storytelling or if all this 'obscuring' of both images and text has some purpose.

The fulcrum device is intriguing but it seemed like a big buildup for something that could have been more simply explained.

I did like the intensity of these last few episodes. Edge of the seat stuff.

Yeah, they're building to something. So the Red thing is still up in the air then. I thought there was an episode where Liz asks him straight out and he denies being her father, but it also seems like there's no other place to go with that relationship.

I'm not that into Cooper's cancer/moral greying storyline. I wish they'd give Hiram and Mossad lady more stuff to do.

This is exactly what I am saying. They made it look like yes, then gave a definite no, and now are hinting at it again. I just don't see any other interesting conclusion but would just want it to be resolved once and for all so they can get on with it.

Totally this as well.

Blurring Cooper's morality is a cheap and unnecessary trick. Every other character skates multiple lines, which I'm fine with. But there ought to be a moral focal point so that everybody lying to everybody doesn't become cliched, cartoony badness.

I'll be disappointed if he turns out to be her dad. Seems to me there's got to be something more to it. I was intrigued at the idea someone or other floated in the last couple of eps that he's been dangling that as a way to keep her invested, and it's total BS.

I don't think that's the case either, but I hope it's something interesting.

I do not believe Red counts as a reliable source, whatever he may have said on the matter to date.

Skinhead Tom Keen is disturbingly hot.
