CursedChico4 December 2020This episode makes sense on these corona days :)
Guard in the bank holds his gun and says "we are quarantined".
It is like covid. A virus is on way but it is disabled to spread to other people.
I could not understand why it cant make infected. To threaten those people to make plane come?
Where is real virus?
That plane could not get off and in the end scene, a plane was burning. They are same planes?
So, berlin is not so powerful as i saw. Even he cant get off.
And raymond was with liz in the park, around lots of agents. Noone is shooting or any guns those only to make blackout.
I gae 7 / 10. For a virus and quarantine and for raymond :) -
A_Different_Drummer17 February 2015Wow -- that is my rating for this episode If you the reader will indulge me I want to repeat a rant I have made before.
Early TV dramas in the 50s and 60s did indeed have two arcs. The short or episodic arc and the long or "impossible" arc. The point of the impossible arc was that, once resolved, the series was over. Literally.
When The Fugitive proved he was innocent, the series was over and there was no interest in residuals. When Ben Gazarra in RUN FOR YOUR LIFE stopped running, so did the series. When David Carradine found his brother in KUNG FU, it was curtains.
Some shows avoided the problem entirely by making the long arc "romantic" and therefore trivial or forgettable. Look at the CSI series.
This changed in the 1990s when Joss Whedon for a brief period of time ran two hit series on two networks. The writing changed the face of TV, although it took 20 years for everyone to catch up. Whedon showed how the long arc, if teased, could be potentially more interesting than the short arc.
Which was heresy at the time. But he did it nonetheless.
Which is why Whedon is managing the Marvel library -- and you aren't.
I was watching this episode, with really interesting stuff happening, the Tom Keene character killing someone for the sheer joy; people injecting themselves with the deadliest toxin around; a major scientist in a looney bin; some sort of apocalypse coming, and I realized to my own amazement I was more interested in the Lizzie-Reddington connection (will she stay mad at him?) than the end of the world.
The long arc had me hooked. The end of the world I could live with. But I wanted to know who Red was to Lizzie.
My oh my has TV changed.
Where is the credit to Joss Whedon? -
foamythefearsome26 August 2022Almost every episode in this season had a strong, standalone story, but the stories were all connected in some way. This season finale reveals that connection, and shows the relevance of all the criminals caught during the season.
All the tiny hints given during the episodes are pieced together in a hunt for the titular character, Berlin, who is undermining Red for events that transpired in the past. A worthy opponent, a potential reason for Red surrendering to the FBI at the start of the show.
Still, it poses as many questions as it answers, and is therefore very well suited for a followup season (and - as we all know now - many more).
I was amazed by the season's structure - by how there is always something you did not expect, always an alterior motive somewhere, and always something that is not what it seems. Makes you hungry for more. -
Hitchcoc8 November 2022All the ducks are in a row with several questions to be answered. The most obvious is what is going to happen to Red and Liz. Their lives and careers are hanging by a threat. Red is so connected that that overzealous FBI jerk has no idea what his demands are bringing about. This a classic problem with series like these where an agency has its own agenda. Liz's ups and downs are getting her a reputation and our friend Tom is still out there somewhere. The Russians eventually get theirs which is satisfying, Putin would be very sad. So we roll into the final episode of the first season of this long and successful show. Should be fun.

onshy_uni6 April 2021It's a crime Thriller series... how is it possible to have so many foolish plot errors?
***spoiler alert***
Gina Zanetakos, an Assasin at 1sr degree, corporate terrorist, that tried to kill an FBI agent, and attempt to explode a radioactive dirt bomb... this on episode 6...
on episode 21... "Gina Zanetakos escaped 2 weeks ago. She was on a work furlough."
what? With that criminal resume like this she goes to a work furlough after some days after??? -
raytalbot-110419 October 2019When Ray is talking to Liz about diving in the Sea & gets stung by a lion fish you can see the reflection of plexiglass between them so he is in shade not sun in his face as it's behind Liz (see photo)
