Blacklist Ballistics Report:
After 2 women have had a bathroom catfight, if you shoot one of the women twice she won't react until a few seconds after she is hit by the second bullet.

So, uh, did a lot of people on the streets just get super rich that day?

Die Hard: Blacklist

Nobody mentioned that it was a female abuser, which I thought was… nice is the wrong word, but at least somewhat creative for such a formulaic show. And they didn't even waste time falsely assuming it was the father doing the abuse, which was also interesting.

That was "Narrative Conveniences Anonymous"

Every time they said her name I heard "tacos"

Paper?

Yuri “talked faster than a cheerleader after a nooner under the grandstand. Probably not a metaphor you understand.” I hope to God this is the start of a new weekly gimmick, so that in every episode from now on, Red will say something incomprehensible and then pretend that the person he’s speaking to is only…

Speaking of cliches, I've had bad dreams, and never ever ever have I woken up from one so startled that I sat up abruptly in my bed and gasped. Why does ever bad dream in tv have to end this way?

I disagree, I think the reviewer would actually appreciate the show embracing it's stupid side even more. Several lines in the review clamor for more absurdity. The problem with the show is that it's in a bit of quality limbo, very flawed plotting, but not enough crazyness to be too fun again.

There are so many bad reviewers out there and even on AVClub that I am upset when I see a good reviewer put down.

It's like her phone is designed to only ring when she's talking to her husband, and he only calls when she's in the middle of something important. Has she received a single call at a convenient time in this whole show?

Stray thoughts:
-The "That was hot" line stood out as super bizarre to me too.
-Is it just me or do a lot of fictional failed backstory missions take place in Cairo?

In the story about the farmer, who was the farmer? Red? The Stewmaker? Or does red just like telling stories about farmers?

It's not a documentary, sadly. However it is an accurate representation of how James Spader acts in real life.

She specifies that she wants him to tell her “the truth,” but she fails to add “non-cryptically.”

Thanks for pointing out "Sinnerman", you are very right about that, it is quite over-used.

Yep. I put like 8 puns in my review.

That's one of them. His performance sold the hell out of that. So much so that watching the episode you forget that Jim is probably staring at absolutely nothing, effectively acting while blindfolded.
