I love this show. Stupid Olympics.

B.A.

Don't have her husband cheat on her with the mystery woman, just kill him off and be done with it.

Great episode!

Once again, if the blacklist numbers actually mean anything, I would have put the Cyprus Agency way higher. Top 20. That was some creepy shit!

I don't care about terrorists with nukes. Been there, seen that. I want to see criminals doing stuff I've never even thought of. And this was one of those plots. That's why I love this show.

After last week's dud, well tonight's episode was a return to form.

The Cyprus Agency storyline was like out of a horror movie. I would have definitely ranked them higher than 64. That was pretty disturbing that all those women were kidnapped, kept in medically induced comas and forced to give birth over and over. And then the Campbell Scott's character was the sperm donor.

Loved the reveal at the end about Diane Fowler. So Agent Malik was just a Red Herring after all. and wow, Red was pretty damn merciless with her. Didn't expect him to kill her. Loved how Red is so unpredictable. They hinted at some interesting back story with Red as well.

Nice to see Mr. Kaplan make a return.

Kinda reminded me of the book/movie "Coma" but on a smaller scale.

Deftones

Interesting to see the Proctor's henchman from Banshee in this. I think he said more in 2 minutes on this than he did in 2 years on Banshee.

Man I love this show. I realize it is mostly because of Red (who if this lasts a few seasons could become an iconic TV character) but I also think it is very interesting and the criminals are kind of unique as we saw last night. And the mythology is just strong enough to add that extra hook.

PhantomStranger

That was certainly one of the most original and creepiest concepts I've seen on television in years.

mikehunt

Spader really makes this show, even though he wasn't in this episode all that much his scenes were excellent

d2cheer

Wow. Now this is what I tune in for. Going to be hard to wait until the Olympics are over...

SmithsGuy

Very creepy. Reminded me of Coma as well. And yeah, surprised that Red shot her right away.

northmoor

Good episode, and agree completely that Spader is really good in this show.

I hope Alan Alda is on more frequent.

Like some of the music/song choices they've used in recent episodes, too -- the "When The Man Comes Around" song by Johnny Cash and "Sundown" by Gordon Lightfoot.

One question ... and this is from a couple episodes back, ... when Reddington was inside the box, Anslo had the bald (shaved head) black guy on this knees at the glass with a gun to his head. He had already executed one, and this guy was next. Redd was down on his knees at the glass chanting some type of African-type language with him, and then the sound of the gun goes off, as they cut to Redd. All indications seemed like the guy was executed, too. But, then the same guy shows up in the next episode alive and well? Perhaps, I missed something?

actionjackson29

You think all black people look alike.

northmoor

No, not correct.

There's no need to insert racism into threads here.

Eve1972

I believe the gun shot was someone else shooting and he never ended up getting executed, that's how I remember it anyways...

d2cheer

That would be correct. The episode after that one showed it.

northmoor

Ok, ... Thank you both.
