The Blacklist -- "Gina Zanetakos" -- 10/28/13




Synopsis:

"GINA ZANETAKOS"

10/28/2013 (10:01PM - 11:00PM) (Monday) : EAGER TO EXONERATE TOM, LIZ TRIES TO LEARN THE TRUTH - MARGARITA LEVIEVA GUEST STARS - After Tom (Ryan Eggold) confronts Liz (Megan Boone) about the box - he claims he's innocent and insists that they turn it into the FBI so his name can be cleared. Elsewhere, Red (James Spader) informs Liz and the FBI that the next name on the Blacklist is beautiful and deadly corporate terrorist, Gina Zanetakos (guest star Margarita Levieva). Diego Klattenhoff, Parminder Nagra and Harry Lennix also star. TV-14 V


Episode 6 of 22

Looks like some more story about Lizzie's husband. Good to see Margarita Levieva get some work after Revenge.

More focus on the husband or even background on Red and less "operative of the week" would be great.

So that's where the real Emily Thorn went.

Man, Spader has aged a lot.

I'm wondering why it's not evident that Reddington has had this plan in play for a long time basically so that he can now get rid of his competition.

I believe this episode showed that someone else out there greater than the people on his list that is his real enemy.

Red and one of his men mentioned the advisory last week. Red used his one favor from the NSA guy to get the file for Liz instead of information on his unknown advisory.

Yeah, I got that part but he was set up in this episode wasn't he? There was no reason to burn the bridge with her this early on. The surveillance guys that seemingly aren't connected to anyone we know mentioned the husband wasn't working for Red. Most likely the "adversary."

It's pretty obvious that her husband is not some innocent school teacher, but a highly advanced undercover operative that's good enough to withstand all of FBI/CIA's intense scrutiny. I was half expecting him to reveal himself at the end of the episode, but it looks like this will take several more hours to resolve the situation.

And yes, it's highly probable "Tom Keen" is working for the upcoming big bad...

Enjoyed this episode. Was worried about the split plot (husband and blacklist member), but when it all came together, it worked out.

Re: The Blacklist -- "Gina Zanetakos" -- 10/28/13

I didn't particularly love this episode. I think it was twofold. First I'm usually fine with situations, but a few stood out as too casual. First how her husband was brought in and handled. Second the speed with which everybody hopped around the country or world. And how they disposed of the vehicle. How about you lower into the water instead of the dock?

The other issue was that this felt like a filler or stop gap. Does anybody think for a moment her husband still isn't who he claims?

Still enjoying the show, but this ep felt too disjointed and I didn't buy into the plotting.

It's very nice of bombmakers to include a large countdown display

And I was wondering how they managed to get from wherever they are (DC?) to a Houston shipyard in 3 hours leaving just under an hour to find the cargo.

The husband is obviously something in the spy world or has a much more complicated backstory than he is letting on. I think he's the one with a personal connection to Spader, possibly his son. I think he might also be Spader's main adversary. Spader is trying to get to him through his wife, explaining the interest in a lowly profiler.
