Will the team be killed one by one until only Liz is left? This plot seems both big and small at the same time. Couldn’t they have gone up to the manager and said hey, we’re looking for bad guys, so turn off the damn lights and music?īut killing a team member - and almost killing Cooper, the head of the team - certainly raises the stakes. Couldn’t they have gone to the club owners and told them to shut down the music and turn up the lights? I don’t think I have ever been in a night club like that, where I could hear myself think, let alone talk with a normal voice to someone else. It was also somewhat annoying because, let’s face it, was there any way that both Ressler and Meera were going to get out of that nightclub alive? The loud music, the lights, the crowds, the confusion, they were separated. While the scene is shocking in the sense that one of the team members actually died, the scene is also predictable the way it was shot and paced. The scene where Meera has her throat slit is certainly grisly and sad, but also irritating.
#Blacklist series finale driver#
Good thing strangling that driver makes the car crash in a perfect, non-lethal way. All that trouble to find and capture Red again, and then we have Agent Martin and Alan (I’m assuming) conspiring to let him escape in the transfer so he can figure out what’s going on and stop it. Not to sound all Tuesday Morning Quarterback, but wasn’t it obvious that guy wasn’t Berlin, that Berlin was actually the guard the team questioned in the hospital bed? His story was too dramatic, it was too convenient he was in bed talking freely, and we could all see someone under the beard well-known enough to say, “Yeah, I bet that’s Berlin and he’s going to escape at the end of the episode.” It was, and he did.Īnd he wasn’t the only one who escaped. The team thinks that Berlin got away too, and we’re led to believe this is the case as well because Tom brings the agent list to Fake Berlin. Some of the guys are killed, but some survive and are captured. So a plane crashes in New York City, in a scene eerily reminiscent of 9/11 (and even includes a cameo by Today’s Matt Lauer). Sure, we got deaths (Meera! Tom! Fake Berlin!) and things are set up for the second season rather nicely, but didn’t it seem rather predictable, as if the writers knew they had to bring the first season to a close in a particular way and set things up for next fall? If you really think about, we’re in the exact same spot we were earlier this season, only with fewer cast members and a new bad guy.
This season finale pushed all of the right season finale buttons but still seemed slightly anti-climatic. Freestone peaches pull away from the pit for easy consumption. And most importantly, we found out that the best peaches are freestone, not clingstone. Her real dad died in the fire - or did he? We found out who Berlin is, though it isn’t the guy we first thought he was. We found out that Sam wasn’t Liz’s real dad. Sure, three or four questions were answered, but approximately 37 other new questions came to light. And that’s probably a good explanation as to what happened in the episode. In an interview on Today yesterday, James Spader told Al Roker that after this season’s finale, fans may think we know more than we actually do.
