They used TMNT as an identifier for Paul Reubens? WTF?

Decent episode. David Costabile was a decent Blacklist villain, especially using the whole mind control thing. That opening sequence with that woman shooting up the bank under his control was a cool way to start things off. At least we got an answer on who the guy with the sniper rifle was from last week.

I think it's funny how this show killed off Agent Malik last season and replaced her with that Mossad agent who looks almost like her.

Any guesses on what the secret is that Red and Naomi know about Lizzie?

This ep was pretty lackluster overall. Nice setup and concept, but the delivery was weak.

I'm still sticking with this solely because of Spader, though Paul Reubens brief Mr. Vargas moments are fun stuff....

I don't see how the Mossad agent looks like Parminder Nagra in any way.

The episode was more creepy that entertianing. But I do like the way they make each of these have a connection to the overall story. Ad of course Spader makes every episode worth watching even though his scenes are often few and far between.

Probably shouldn't have said looked like her. I really meant another ethnic female Middle East character.

Is India considered the Middle East? Not a big deal, but I don't think of those two characters really being at all similar, looks or otherwise. And frankly, I'm not really liking the addtition of the Mossad character beyond the episode where she was introduced. Hopefully they do more with her soon, or even get rid of her.
