There were some cracking episodes in this seasons Blacklist, none more so than the double-header of Luther Braxton. Having said that, this show has sprung so many surprises that it is still within the realms of possibility that he isnt and there is a complex and unexplained mystery for his connection to her. It doesnt seem logical that someone who is just looking out for her would say something like this, only a father would say this in my opinion. I didnt want you to become like me. The question we have to ask is, why would anyone that ISNT her father say such a thing.
Red says to Liz while sitting on a bench during the final scene of the finale:
With this revelation, she is in a state of shock and she kind of is in a daze as she calls Red and she ends up meeting him, where we are given what I believe is the clearest hint that Red is her biological father since Sams death and his burns. The scene before the fire where a young Liz witnesses an argument between her mother and a man (potential partner and Lizs father), and during this argument a gun falls to her feet where she reaches down and pulls the trigger and kills the man. The season finale wasnt blockbuster stuff but it still had some fascinating moments, none more so than the Connolly moment (WOW!) Not only is the murder really shocking given the fact that Harold was pleading with her not to, she does anyway which not only confirms her as a fugitive but it also provided us patient viewers with the biggest flashback that the programme has delivered so far. This is part of the draw of the show now for the viewers, they have invested in the story and many will continue to be a loyal viewer so they can find out all of the unrevealed mysteries concerning Lizs past and Reds involvement. Season 2 has suffered some stalling tactics as the very slow reveal of Lizs identity has now spanned 44 episodes so far and we have learned some things about Lizs past but there are plenty of unanswered questions still remaining for season 3 and beyond. Although as season 1 progressed the underlying stories of Tom/ Jacob, Lizs identity and Reds motives became more prevalent but it didnt detract from the show, it complimented it and made season 2 hotly anticipated.
Season 1 had a stable and a tighter structure to individual episodes and the season as a whole, as the concentration was on catching these supervillians that are a part of Reds Blacklist. However, despite the interesting story-lines concerning the Fulcrum, Reddingtons story, Lizs identity and the workings of Cabal, I feel as though they are preventing the show from moving forward fluently. This is what attracted many millions of viewers I expect, but of course the programme has to grow and develop and extend to countless episodes as is the American way. A supervillain on the FBIs Most Wanted list hands himself in and subsequently provides them with a list of other supervillains, even ones which the FBI dont know about, and he works with them to catch them. I began watching The Blacklist a while ago because of the intriguing premise for the show.
