The evildoers' shell corporation in tonight's The Blacklist was Wendigo, Inc.

No, Harold did not "torture" his creations in any sense of the word. Yes, he found wisdom in binding the Machine "in darkness and ignorance," as you say, but the Machine, Root, and Harold have all come to agree that "sometimes it's best not to know."

But who really cares because that was a fantastic episode.

@Ellen, :), I would agree with your concern if a television series were a perfect "complete art" like a painting or The Brothers Karamazov or a Coen brothers film. Because of its episodic/"arc" nature, a series may just as well be compared to a "collection" of Picasso paintings or Dostoevsky novels or Joel and Ethan…

It was a little under a year ago (around the time of the uproar surrounding Carter's death) that I wandered in here asking similar questions. I received similar advice (probably from @Meander!) and almost gave up after sitting through mediocrity like "Mission Creep" and "Judgement." Instead, I did exactly as I…

In all honesty, a viewer that is not pre-disposed to love it will be frustrated with occasional duds through Season 2. It is only with Season 3 that the show reached its now-consistent heights. Read the Wikipedia articles (or equivalent) to catch up on the first two seasons, then begin with Season 3, to avoid…

C'mon, he'll never look it, but hasn't he more than proven his exceptional strength and agility countless times?

Wouldn't the AIs know exactly where the steel beams were placed in the construction? And direct the analog interfaces to shoot through the areas in between? With the adequate firearms provided in advance for just this purpose?

Wasn't anyone disappointed that it wasn't a Mole Day episode? Perhaps next season.

She completely tamed Richard Harrow, and shockingly outfoxed Elizabeth Jennings (but got herself killed in the process). They wouldn't have brought her into this role if there weren't some seriously brilliant mind games in store for us.

Yes. I can't believe I made it to the bottom of comments before finding someone else whose thoughts landed there. I actually looked up the actor that played Mini/Dominic, thinking there was a physical resemblance (at least in the mannerisms) to the kid that played Michael.

Was it the same model subway car that Harold now uses for this office? Hadn't that one supposedly been sealed off since WWII? In the PoI universe, all subway cars are the same across time.

That theory sounds completely disjointed.

Yeah, Michael O'Keefe. Sad. I never imagined that by this age he would look so much more like Rodney Dangerfield than Ted Knight.

It would have been funnier if he had breathed some helium.

The pool of potential candidates is very different between the children and the adults. For MasterChef Junior, they were able to select from among the best and brightest of the 1%. These were kids with parents with resources (money and time) to invest in their kids being the best they can be.

Penny Dreadful fails to merit even a mention? Erik Adams is really clever with the non-sensical witticisms about the crap he digs up to amuse himself, but forgets to point to the most interesting thing on tonight (beyond Mad Men).

Wasn't Darth Vader that white boy who impregnated Rachel Bilson?

I imagine there are oligarchs that would pay dearly to watch Chuck E. Cheese with Minnie Mouse.

If you get yourself a SuperSuit and some helium, perhaps you could pass as well.
