The Blacklist: Agent Ressler
We all know I’m not really a fan of Ressler’s, but how freakin’ adorable was it when he asked Lizzie if she wanted him to go rough Tom up for her??
More to come….

TONIGHT!!! Finally a new episode!! Stupid Winter Olympics.
The Blacklist: Kickass Reddington Quotes (S1:E12) The Alchemist
“He’s killed women, children… infants if need be.” -RR to Lizzie about the latest Blacklist target, The Alchemist, but more importantly another example of the show’s seemingly repeated theme of helping women and children, which I believe will be a major (if not THE major) plot line that ties the show together, both with regards to Reddington’s past & what happened to his family, Lizzie’s past, Red’s interest in her, who mostly comprises Red’s Blacklist, what drives him and why, his motivation behind everything he does….even Dembe was a victim of human trafficking when he was younger and was saved by Reddington from The Courier.
“I’ve also included a couple of my favorite Richard Pryor records, I want to try to inject a little levity into the proceedings, I mean Julian looks so crabby all the time.” –RR regarding his Tibetan Singing Bowl gift containments
“If you find The Alchemist, you have a chance to resurrect the dead.” –RR to Lizzie
“Ahh, the Germans…. despite the headlines, they’re still the best at keeping an eye on their fellow man.” –RR to researcher
The Blacklist: Frederick Barnes vs. The Good Samaritan
I’ve been toying with the thought of writing an article comparing sympathizing more with the Good Samaritan than with Frederick Barnes, considering both of them committed their crimes out of some variation of vindication of someone who needed intervening help.
It’s not because Frederick killed more people in his quest to find a cure for his son’s disease whereas the Good Samaritan only inflicted the abuse received by their abusers ON their abusers…there’s something there that’s…. deeper that I can’t seem to put my finger on with regards to why I backed the Good Samaritan’s cause moreso than Frederick Barnes’.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this and do you think I should do an article on the subject?

The Blacklist: The Mole (?)
Well, I’ve thought so all along and NOW THIS F-ING SHOW is once again making me doubt myself. Dammit.
It’s her… I feel it in my bones. They cleared her way too quickly for my liking and she’s been a shady little tattletale since day one. I adore her… and I’d rather it was Tom… but I really feel like it will be here.
Plus it couldn’t be Tom since it’s someone on the inside who was letting the “Apple Dude” across the street from the Keen’s know whenever Red was arriving at The Black Site…… this would be pretty far-fetched for that person to be Tom. I DO however think he’s a bad guy and a major future player in the show, but as far as the Mole - it’s GOT TO BE Malik…..
The Blacklist: No Caption Needed for this Awesomeness
The Blacklist: Kickass Reddington Quotes - (S1:E11) The Good Samaritan
“I want you to tell me about your friend - the man with the apple.” (We now know the people monitoring the Keen household are not working for Red….)
“You have such a pretty face. And a paramedic. What a shame.”
“I don’t know about serial killers, but i do know about torture, and there is no ‘one size fits all.’ If you really want to hurt someone you need to tailor your attacks specifically to that person. Perhaps the killers’ methods, the injuries he inflicts, tell you less about him and more about his victims.”
“Oh, yes, Theodore, we’re going to talk alright.”
“Honestly, I don’t understand you Theodore. With all the business you do and you’re still funneling the money thru your night source..paying your contracts with 5’s and 10’s because you’re still too cheap to pay the commission for clean cash.”
“First time I ever smoked a cigar was with Marnie Peterson in 5th grade..funny little bat-faced girl - I adored her.”
“There’s been a nasty bit of business, blood shed…lives lost… modicum of torture…”
The interaction between Red and Aram when Reddington was testing/deciding whether Aram was the mole was just too brilliant to fully do justice to by typing the words. You Blacklisters know the scene of which I speak. Epic.
“Janice if you don’t stop your yammering I’m going to have to shoot thru this door, which will be a shame because I won’t have any idea what I’m shooting at.”
“If you would have come to me, I would have helped you. We could have avoided all this.” –RR to Newton just before killing him
“I’ll take care of your family, whatever they need.”
“My house is clean. And yours….*shakes head* is not. The deficit that I found in my organization could not have supplied all the knowledge required for the incursion to take place. That would’ve been supplied by someone with far greater access. Therefore we’re back where we began: me speaking with you.”
FAVORITE QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “No. I’m going to find somebody else and kill them." –RR in response to Aram asking whether Red was going to kill him. Bad. Ass.
