I watched it until they killed off Skinny Pete in the 1st season.

Not a big loss for Elizabeth to sleep with the fishes at this point.

Either she ... or the writers ... or both morphed her characters into one of the most disliked and annoying characters on television.

It's time for this show to end, they have dragged it out too long as it is.

This show is still around? Had no idea they still made episodes. It stopped being good like 5 years ago.

We've stayed with it. Like watching a train wreck though. We've been rooting for Liz to die for years. She's not very interesting or intelligent.

The way things have gone so far, I'm hesitant to jump all in with the "Reddington is a trans" thing. I won't be surprised if they do something completely different.

damn.....i did not realize this show was still on....I think I lost interest in Season 2

It aired here last night.

I thought the episode was kind of meh, the ending very uninspired. I hope they step things up a notch next season.

What a waste. I truly believe the writers are so far down the rabbit hole they aren't exactly sure how to tie in Red to Liz exactly.

Reddington alone kept the show watchable, agree keen was bad. Cooper the good guy that keeps doing bad things and the middle eastern puppy dog guy was ok. The rest, especially the Asian new girl, just poor characters.

The redhead playing keens young mom was hot enough to keep some eyeballs engaged.

The secret ex soviet spy pyramid was kind of cool, as is the core concept of the blacklist and all the bond villains.

But with the random ending who knows where it goes.

I'm just wondering why Townshend's henchman didn't shoot Reddington instead of Keen? You'd think Red would be the ultimate target.

The storyline changed in the past two episodes to "once they find out who Liz is to Red then Liz will become the target." We obviously never found out what that meant though.

One of the show's creators is apparently leaving the show as well- https://deadline.com/2021/06/the-blacklist-creator-jon-bokenkamp-exits-season-9-1234781001/

If reddington is her mother i am officially never watching tv again

I think Townsend himself said that he wanted to kill Keen because of the emotional loss it would impose on Red.

Which seems fitting given the fact Red had imposed on Townsend by putting events in play that resulted in Townsend's family's death.

Quid pro quo.

Indeed. If Keen is indeed dead then the path forward to the major show arc/direction is murky indeed.

There is no clearly defined antagonist to Red's protagonist.
