US TV: The Blacklist

[sima]

Pero itong si Liz, di niya tinanong si Tom kung sino ang nakaakbay sa kanya sa picture na nakita sa kwarto ni Gina.   Kasi it was definitely not her (Liz).  And if Gina is taking the fall, why drag Red's name into it? Baka she was hoping for some deal pero di niya alam na Red already works wih he FBI. And why would she deny that she is Tom's lover? Either she really is and is trying to cover for Tom or she is not.

Sinong FBI na papadaanin ang suspect nila sa mismong place kung san nila pinoposts yung pics
About that suspect? Kaloka hahaha sineseryoso ko na masyado tong series na to. Nung dumaan si Tom
Dun sa board I was like"wtf?! May ganun?" Haha

[sima]

Red paid twice the amount of the house on sale just to blow it up.  His reason -- to forget his past -- apparently, that was the house where he and his wife raised their daughter.  WHAT A REASON!  Elizabeth is doing the same thing but on a smaller scale -- remodeling the house.

Napakadamot ng show na ito magbigay ng details tungkol sa kanilang dalawa (Red and Elizabeth) pero doon sa mga criminals na hinahabol nila -- all out kung magbigay ng detalye.

The Blacklist is starting to be just a "criminal of the week" tv show for me that Elizabeth is "profiling" (which she hardly does, without Red's help).  I have my share of profiling with Criminal Minds -- thank you.

^Exactly what I've said to my officemate.  Ang unti ng clues about who Red is, and kung ano ang link niya to Liz.  It's sickening because ang dating sa akin they are trying to stretch the story kase nga naman if maconnect na ng viewersthe connection of Liz and Red baka mawala na ang intrigue. 

Tamad ang writer ng show na ito... May mga ibang shows naman na mabilis ang pag-unveil ng story pero napapahaba pa rin nila ang story.  Kaunti na lang talaga at I will give up on this show.

^ & ^^, agree. nauumay na din ako dito. first 2 episodes lang ata ang talagang okay eh. or yung first episode lang nga ata! kung ganito sila ng ganito, mas bet ko din ang criminal minds. mas love ko ang team na yun, mas likeable ang characters at isang pamilya sila dun. and, i've been watching CM for 9 seasons na, hindi naman ako nauumay.

[kristetay]

naguluhan talaga ako kung sino mas credible, kung si Red or Tom. until now hindi pa rin nirereveal kung sino yung nagmomonitor sa house nila Liz.. mahaba habang season to, pero infairness maganda naman

[sima]

Di ba sis tin, kung ganyan na lang parati ang ino-offer nila EVERY episode, eh nakukuha na natin iyan sa Criminal Minds.  Hindi pa nga na-establish how BRILLIANT Keen is as a profiler.  Kasi parang run-of-the-mill profiler lang siya for me and the only thing that made her stand up is because siya ang gusto lang kausapin ni Red.

[simplykristine08]

^ true, if not for Red, wala din tayong mahihita sakanya. At, walang wala syang sinabi sa mga profilers ng CM. lol, kinompare! haha. sobrang smart ng team ng CM eh

[Myealexis21]

^Sis Tin if her husband is really an agent of whatever,,, then she isn't a good profiler nga or maybe she is blinded by love?? Ahh basta naiinis na ako sa show na ito, the writers should make a drastic change or else baka mid season 2 macancel na ang show na ito.

[simplykristine08]

^ pero ang taas ng ratings neto eh. isa sa highest every monday. hayy, sana gumanda nalang ang takbo ng kwento. sayang naman si Red.

[sima]

It's either Elizabeth is a good profiler because she sees nothing wrong with her husband and Red is just toying with her OR she is not a good profiler because she cannot see through her husband's guise.  Kasi even if she were "blinded by love", her skill would kick in once she sees a person and she makes a mental picture of that person and it becomes clearer the more she interacts with that person.  Just my POV.

[Myealexis21]

In fairness may development ang story sa last episode.  Mukha ngang Red and Liz is related... what you think mga Sis?

[simplykristine08]

^ torn ako dyan, sis. di ko alam kung related or hindi. kasi may sinearch si Red diba, Lucy ata ang name. hindi kaya yun ang anak nya? waaah! Pero, ampon lang pala to si Liz. so, sino kaya ang real parents nya.

Found this interesting review:  http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2013/11/the-blacklist-who-is-lucy-brooks.html

[Myealexis21]

^Nice find Sis Sima. 

I am watching this only to find out ano ang connection ni Red and Liz, other than that wala na.  Naiirita pa rin ako how the cases are solved. 

Did you guys noticed na medyo uneasy si Tom when he and Red were talking?

And who is the one na nagsusurveillance sa house nila Liz??

just a trivia -- the date that Red typed in the search tab is actually the birthday of Megan (the actress playing Liz' character)

[sima]

^ Thanks sis!

Dami talagang plot holes and gaps nito.  Add ko rin lang, kung innocent si Tom, paano niya nalaman yung compartment kung saan nakatago yung box eh carpeted kaya yung floor?  How did he "accidentally" come across that -- yun ang paliwanag niya kay Lizzy eh.  Ito namang isa, accept lang nang accept ng sinasabi ng kabila.  So much for being a profiler.

Ito pa:  Sam adopted Keen when she was four years old.  So Sam could not be the "career criminal" Red was referring to in the first episode, but the person who stepped in after her "weak" mother failed to care for her.

Elizabeth has this scar on her hand from a fire when she was 14 years old.  Sabi niya kay Red, her father gave it to her.  But when she was talking to Beth (yung batang may bomba sa bag), sabi niya she had the scar when she was Beth's age.  However, Sam does not strike me as an abusive father unless it was by accident.  Hay, naguguluhan na ako sa timeline.

In the pilot episode, Red surrendered publicly in the lobby of the FBI.  But then he had to keep appearances and make everybody in the criminal world believe that he is still their "friend."  Surely, at this time and age, someone would have talked to the press or have uploaded his surrender, etc.

Yung photo ng batang pinatay ni Stewmaker, it has the date 1990 on it.  Red left his wife and daughter on Christmas Eve 1990.  Red knows that that girl is a victim of the Stewmaker and apparently this girl is close to Red.

Ano kaya yung truth na gustong sabihin ni Sam kay Liz to the point na Red had to stop him from doing so by smothering him with a pillow para lang hindi malaman ni Liz ang katotohanan.

Red also called Liz "Molly" when she showed up unexpectedly sa bahay noong counterfeiter.  Molly is one of the aliases of Lucy.

They better make the "big twist" worthwhile kung hindi si Red ang ama ni Liz.

[Myealexis21]

^Ang dami nga talaga butas ang kwento

Regarding sa Scar -- I think Liz lied to Red and told the truth to the little Girl.  That she got that scar when she was about Beth's age, before Sam adopted her. 

Sis Sima, the girl from the Stewmaker's album ano sa tingin mo ang age niya?  Tingin ko kase parang bata eh Hindi kaya yan yung Lucy? They both have red hair.  And the date on the photo is december 1990 --- the exact date that Red went on vacation but did not arrive at his house. 

I don't remember any information about her daughter and wife... basta natatandaan ko is inabandona niya.

After scanning the last episode, hindi na rin ako mapalagay if related sila Red and Liz...

Sana hindi na lang one criminal per episode ang show na ito.  I actually skip the part kung pano nila nahuhuli mga criminals.  Fast forward to the clues...

[Myealexis21]

add ko lang pala... yung scar sa wrist ni Liz it looks a bit similar dun sa carving ng boxes (at lizzie's house and Gina's place)

ano kaya ibig sabihin nun? Can you also see the similarity?

[sima]

Ang nababasa ko naman sa ibang fora, namatay na yung totoong anak ni Red at si Liz siguro eh relative niya na ginawa na lang niyang parang surogate daughter OR si Liz ang daughter ng adversary ni Red.  Sabi pa, baka madaming pamilya itong si Red ang Lucy and Liz might be sisters.

I still stick with Liz being Red's daughter na sobrang obvious sa show. Unless the big twist is that she is the daughter of his nemesis.  Sabi ko nga, they better make it a big twist talaga.

[_gigles_]

Ang bitin ng last episode!
