I may not be as familiar with O'Neal's work, I'll concede that, as well. I do realize that they're related to the Onion, which is something I've always found a little off-putting, to be honest. I'm never really sure what level of journalism to expect from the site. Is it snark, is it serious, is it high-brow,…

It's not necessarily them being snarky that bugs me in general. It's the idea that an entire profession is basically getting completely screwed over by public perception in the last few decades, and instead of looking into it in a meaningful way (like NPR did a little while back: http://www.npr.org/2013/08/… ), they…

Glad to see you wrote this article bias free.

Thank God, does this mean these reviews are going to stop? They're my own sick obsession. So bad, they're almost good. I'll be sad to lose out on my weekly check-in, but glad to know that at least one less poorly written article will exist on the Internet each week.

This episode may have had the least Spader so far, and it really, really hurt to watch.

One of my favorite episodes!

Oh certainly, there are some fantastic episodes. One of my absolute favorites is a two-parter: The Not So Great Escape. This article doesn't even mention the genius of Bernie Kopell on the show, but any episode he's in, including this one, is a must-see. It's not the first episode he appears in, however, that would…

On this week's edition of the A.V. Club's Blacklist review: Nugent demonstrates to us that he's really been watching the show by rattling off the entire plot of the episode, scene-for-scene.

Finally a review that gives the impression that Mr. Nugent is watching.

Here here!

Well…that's it. Liz is a Robot is my #1 theory now.

Where did this review go to at the end?

Ha! I'm uh…not the best at reviewing things.

Tell me about it. I'm honestly watching the show with mainly a passing interest, thanks mostly to James Spader (though I admit the last episode finally really hooked me into the story itself). Just a few glances around Tumblr, though and I realize that my viewing is certainly skin deep with all of the conspiracy…

Ok, I just went back and rewatched the opening. The idea was that they came to him and asked him who took down the plane and he refused to answer unless they gave him access to VICAP. He was very adamant that he had no interest in this case, leading me to the conclusion that the person was NOT on the Blacklist. I…

For the love of God, AV Club, can you please get someone else to start reviewing this show, rather than the guy who checked out three weeks ago? At least he used to add a bit of humor to these less-than-thorough reviews, but now he's just going through the motions.
