I don't think he ever murdered anyone? But yeah agreed. She shouldn't care.

Watched eps 1 and 2 last night and I have to say it's pretty damn good. Much better than I thought it would, mostly thanks to Spader's excellent performance.
Looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds. And Spader is totes Lizzy's dad or knew her dad in some capacity...

Finally watched the latest episode. I'm going to say that it was his kid that the stew maker took care of and he is now taking care of liz because of some sort of loyalty to her parents some how.
He did talk about a farmer and how everything he knew and loved in his life was taken away one day and he became a person who started bringing darkness into the world out of revenge. I took that as him telling him his story of what he has become, a CIA man through and through and then a tragic event happened and now hes the man who leaves farms burned and destroyed and him bringing people to justice on the blacklist is his way of bringing his humanity back in some way.

oh fuck this was my favorite episode by far.
Love how creepy the stewmaker was, hope there more like him.
And I do wonder who the picture of the girl is though? His daughter/lover maybe?
Anyway this episode convince me to stick with this show until end of the season.

Wow, Spader is just amazing in the latest episode. That speech he gives at the end is just... WOW!
The FBI incompetence still bugs me, and I still think Spader and the ongoing mystery is what saves the show more than anything.

seriously that the worst part of the show. They really need to fix that and make Elizabeth more of a rookie.
Honestly if it wasn't for Spader I would had drop the show already.

John Lee Roche in X-Files episode "Paper Hearts" too. So, yeah, creepy characters are in his wheelhouse.

So I assume that the entire adoption is a ruse setup by her "husband"
That video she found a few eps back of him giving a testimonial on why they would make a great couple is probably a setup to keep her thinking that he is an avg joe.
Now that the cat is out of bag, can't wait to see how he fits into everything, and if the villain in next week's episode is really his lover.

damn really love the creepy villains, hope there more
I hope that Reddington adversary and him are both equally evil instead of one of them being plain evil just for the sake of being evil

YES
omg thank you.
I watched the first three episodes of this last night. Wow! What have I been missing? This show is fantastic. Spader is killing it and the action sequences are excellent. That shootout on the bridge in the pilot was amazing for TV. Excellent twists and interesting characters so far.

Didn't enjoy the 5th episode as much as the others, but I'm interested to see where things move forward with Liz, Red and her husband.

meh found this week episode really weak. "Hate the he was found innocent but then founded out he was actually a spy in later episode" shit.
Would prefer if he was found out this episode then has Elizabeth spend the rest of season figure out who her husband really is.

I wanna know who the fuck is
More questions than answers, but I still liked it. Not as much as the past couple of episodes, but still good.
spying on Lizzie and her husband. Also, what angle is Reddington trying to play here? Does he know Lizzie's father? IS he Lizzie's father? Is Tom really innocent?

Wouldn't it? Red has the savvy to make a really long con work. If it is, it's bloody brilliant.

Kind of liked what I saw so far of this show (up through stewmaker ep) but my god the main actress is terrible. She has basically one look and no range.

Tom is definitely not innocent, hopefully he turns out to be some psychopath murderer or something. "Oh I can't believe I slept with that monster".... I can see it now.
I love this show a little more every week, so good.

Tom is most definitely not innocent. I don't know how just yet, but he is definitely not innocent.
Also, the people interviewing Tom and Gina (or whatever that last woman's name was) have got to be the most incompetent government employees ever. Liz asks her if she's ever seen the man whose picture was found next to her bed, she says nope, and they're all like, "Well that's good enough for me!" Then after interviewing Tom they drag him out through the area where they have all their classified information hanging on walls. You'd think they would have him use some nondescript hallways with no confidential information, but no they walk him right up through the nerve center of their operation. Solid job guys.

If I was a bomb maker I'd make the timer off by like a minute, preventing heroics like this.

Dirty bomb? No problem, just dump it in the harbor and contaminate the harbor.
Cardon
Member
Yeah, this kind of surprised me. Wouldn't that entire harbor and perhaps the surrounding region be contaminated for hundreds of years? I know that this is a silly thriller show and all, but that finale did seem to gloss over a rather big situation.

From some guy in the TV Club's comment section:
Physicist here. There were a lot of things wrong with this episode, but the science wasn't really the main problem. Water is actually a fantastic way to cut radiation levels and stop a plume of radioactivity. The principle in shielding is known as the "halving thickness": for water, it means that every 18cm of water between you and the radioactive source cuts the radiation level in half. To my eye, the bomb (in the car's engine block) sank about 5 meters before detonation; that means the radiation level at the surface was roughly 4 billionths as strong as it would have been sitting on the dock. Cobalt-60 is pretty nasty stuff, but I'm glad they at least had the decency to push it in the water than repeat the "cut the red wire" scene from the pilot.
tl;dr: Water would actually be quite effective at stopping the radiation. Still probably wouldn't stand too close.

Awesome episode and a great new show. Spader is a fantastic actor and plays the role really well. Not so sure on the main girl but i do like this .

I've been wondering why this hasn't been mentioned the entire time. I actually thought she knew about it because I thought she was rubbing it while looking at the box, but maybe I'm wrong.
The box's emblem and the second box(the woman's) seemed to get ignored completely. It's like they're going out of their way to ignore it until they feel like moving forward with it and it makes the character's seem stupid.

So the husband, Tom, is lying right?
I can't believe she believed that bs that the stuff in the box was not his.
It's like he knew he was screwed but had to keep denying it and stick to his story.
