I was disappointed by the Fulcrum reveal. I thought it was going to be a backdoor into the world's computers or something.

Really enjoyed seeing Team Reddington swing into action to take care of Red after he was shot. A lot of people owe him...

Wouldn't the fulcrum be 30 year old information that was sort of useless at this point?

More like 20 years, but old dirt is still dirt.

The ER assembly could have also just been well paid professionals on retainers, Reddington spares no expenses when it comes to stuff like this.

That picture of Liz's mother was just awful. No sane person would take a glared picture like that and then proudly display it in a photo frame. Of course the real reason is that they are not gonna show you who she is, but it was still lazy and poorly handled.

Exactly, unless it was incredible Lone Gunman illuminati conspiracy stuff like the US government killed Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, allowed Pearl Harbor to happen, stuff like that. But, eh...they need a better MacGuffin. I guess the new mystery to string out is her mother.

It was probably the only photo with Liz and her mother that was left/wasn't ruined by the fire. It was then later framed.

The photo was taken before digital cameras happened so you couldn't delete a photo - once it was taken - if there was any problems like that glare.
You only knew once you got the photos back from the print shop - if they turned out good or not. probably safe to say there was good photos of her mother - maybe even of that same shot with her and Liz - but like I said above - the glare one is the only photo of her that survived the fire.

A little surprised the Fulcrum just turned out to be a glorified blackmail file.

This was a pretty good follow up to the last episode. I loved how Kaplan got things into motion with the medical team once she got the call from Liz.

The scene with the assault team attacking the safe house where Red was being treated at was pretty intense.

I when Liz turned to that doctor for help who turned out to be an ex-boyfriend she apparently dumped. I liked how he used this situation to his advantage to get paid to help his medical school debt.

if the dirt in the fulcrum is about crimes without statute of limitations, or things that even if no longer prosecutable would still be a huge PR issue, I could see it still being useful to use against politicians, CEOs, etc

Sorry to go off topic, but I haven't been keeping up on this show and have somewhat lost interest. However, I haven't given up on it and plan to catch up during the offseason.

Does anyone know if Hulu Plus lifts the 5 episode limitation at the end of a season. Otherwise, will NBC.com allow access to the complete season after it concludes?

I am hoping Netflix may continue to stream this and add Season 2 in 2-3 months.

I stopped around ep 12 or 13, so i'll have around 9 or 10 episodes to go through.

Nope. Last 5 episodes only for both Hulu and NBC.

You will probably have to wait until August or early September before season 2 gets posted to Netflix.
