Another solid episode last night.
I'll share more thoughts later on, but I'm glad to see that NBC finally has a hit drama & consistent in quality each week.

I found Robert Knepper to be distracting, only because I loved his role on Prison Break and see him as no other character.
I also don't mind watching this show "live" each week.

Still not buying her whole profiler image in how she deals with these blacklisters and gets into their head so quickly with very little in the way of clues. And these blacklisters don't feel like the hardened people they are supposed to be.
All that profiling and she can't figure out her husband. Reddington keeps me tuned in though.

Good episode again. The cases of the week are quite unsettling for sure!
Really interested to see who is watching across the street.
More interested to see what happens with her husband!
So did she go home and talk with her husband, have fight, and go to Red's? Or did she read file, go to Red's, then go home? I couldn't tell if the last scene was from the viewpoint of the second guy across the street "rewatching" what already happened.

I wasn't a fan of James Spader (in fact I really didn't like him) until his run on The Office. He's actually gotten much better with age. He's really good in this.

This week it's one of the most dangerous people in the world who has all sorts of things implanted in his body. Let's again rely on unknown and apparently incompetent marshals to transport him alone in the back of a truck with his cuffs in front of him.

So did anyone not notice Skinny Pete in the beginning? Completely caught me off guard being all "proper" and everything.

The marshals were taking the Courier to the hospital to get x-rayed/mri'd. When the team decided to recall the marshalls, one of the FBI agents even said something like "we'll mri him later" because they were going to try to give his brother a deal in exchange for the analyst.

Finally got around to watching this today. Thought it was the weakest episode of the season thus far actually. I've just grown tired of the 'time is running out or he'll suffocate' scenario I guess. I do like that things continue to progress with the husbands identity.
