The Blacklist

[rheasilvia]

So basically, the only reason I'm still watching Blacklist is the blind hope that Tom will return soon, and he and Elizabeth can resume their fucked-up love affair. All that other stuff that keeps happening is starting to annoy me for taking up so much time. Come on, people. Where's Tom??

I am so predictable. ;-)

Tom is definitely coming back. Cannot WAIT.

Me neither!!! Red is really getting on my nerves, and I have the worst premonition that the much-teased reveal of the Big Secret will make me want to headdesk very hard. I don't know, I'm just not interested in the Fulcrum, and all the drawn-out one-note drama about Red's backstory with Elizabeth has pretty much made me lose interest entirely.

I just want Tom back. Tom was the most nuanced, genuinely mysterious and interesting character on this show, and his relationship with Elizabeth the most passionate, wrenching and emotionally real thing the show ever chanced across.

Bring him back, show! And not just for a quick two-minute cameo, but for real! And don't you dare have Red mastermind him; I'm so bored of that.

I love Red because I love James Spader, but I'm mostly here for Tom and Ressler and for Saram, because she's just a great character.

But I'm hopeful that Tom will be a bigger part of things going forward. Should be fun. :D

I don't really know James Spader in any other role, but I do have the impression he's a very good actor. Red as a character seems to be fairly static, though, which is a shame; I wish they'd try to develop him in some way.

Elizabeth really worked for me as a character when she was playing off Tom. In Tom's absence, I've been finding her getting a bit pale.

Samar is very interesting, yes! She usually doesn't get to do much, though, just like Aram.
