    They really need to up their game. Watching episode 12 and it's just so incredibly bland. There's no air of mystery to any of it and the villain of the week could be replaced with a cardboard cutout and you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.

    The show is at its best when it lets Spader ham it up but he seems to be taking something of a backseat in recent weeks so that we can have more if the loving couple and their baby. The baby shower scene was one of the creepiest things I've seen in a long time. It just felt so uncomfortable and awkward. Hopefully they kill off the husband soon, he brings nothing to the show and the constant is he or isn't he a villain is just boring. I honestly don't care, nor it seems does the writers considering how little thought they seem to have put into it.

    There was a line by one of the dancers speculating that Red pays for the performance because his child used to dance, which implied that the daughter was dead. Wouldn't this mean that he can't be Lizzie's dad.

    I missed that line and it was late so couldn't be bothered to replay it. I thought that was a great episode. Tom has turned from a schmuck into a badass. It sounds like his paymasters have it in for Red so it's only a matter of time before Tom and Red come face to face, especially so as one of Red's operatives has been lost to Tom. I think the show has picked up very well in the last few episodes. It had gotten a bit bland but I still found it likeable, mainly because of Spader. Looks like it's really coming back on form now.

    While Lizzie may well be Red's daughter, she doesn't strike me as the ballet type. Not that that's much of a statement really but I still haven't reached a conclusion. Right now, it could be equally valid to say that he's interested in Lizzie in order to find out more about Tom, though there's obviously much more to it.

    I think Tom may have gone native and fallen in love with "the target". That means killing the link to his paymasters and ...well, being followed by a large black man in a 10 gallon hat is just insulting to the modern professional killer.

    I noticed something interesting about this episode... I enjoyed it for the first time in weeks. Then I noticed something: not a lot of Lizzie in this episode. Coincidence?

    Pretty good episode! Lizzie is on side with Red now! That was a very close call for Lizzie. I pretty much thought Tom was going to be outed. I have to say it really resonated when Lizzie noticed the kids flask or whatever that was at the crime scene. I think they played up the stability of her relationship with Tom so much lately that you could almost feel sick when she realised what was going on. It's a great ramp up really!

    I liked this week's episode! Love how Liz is now partnering with Red and they're on their own little take-down mission! I think this series has finally come good and gotten into it's stride!

    Just watched Episode 14. Its very bland and obvious.
    Tom is off side.
    Hardly a surprise? Blacklist target -the Judge- this week -a bit simple. Hardly took 5 minutes to track her down. Characters continue to be carbon cut outs. Spader only decent guy. This series is hit and miss . It would want to up its game or I can see it being cancelled . Oh Where is the successor to Breaking Bad or BSG Or The Sopranos????

    Game of Thrones
    Boardwalk Empire
    Person of Interest
    House of Cards
    Scandal

    The list goes on there is some amazing tv right now on Network and Cable and Online platforms. But that for a different thread.

    You are right this would be a nothing show without Red. It needs Alan Alda back pretty quickly.

    House of cards I agree with. Scandal-I just never took to-though I accept its a good show. I did like Board walk empire but thought it overly relied on nudity. Im no prude but it is excessive. If I want porn-Im sure I can find some,

    Give it one more shot-EP16 after that I will call it a day unless it improves.

    Episode 17.
    Do they realistically expect us to accept that Tom would leave a toy behind? Why did he bring it?? Why didnt he burn the place down after the murders? Do they really expect us to swallow this? I gave up Homeland because of these ludicrous plot twists.

    Its still terribly formulaic. Spader is worth watching. Meegan Boone is half decent but the Young FBI guy is dire. Makes Arnie S look like oscar material!

    Great finale, but frustratingly short on answers. The identity of Berlin was pretty obvious early on - hopefully
    Peter Stormare
    is a regular cast member for Season 2.

    Still not sure what the end means. Red was
    obviously in the fire when Liz was rescued as a child, but does that put him back in the father role? Did he lie to her earlier in the season?
