James Spader: The Blacklist

[Jack Davenport]

This is going to be a damn good show. Spader is one of my favorite actors. Who else plans on watching?

 

[The Yak]

I do. I've heard good things.

 

[Jack Davenport]

I don't usually make calls on new TV shows but I think this will be a success. The last one I felt this strongly about was Seinfeld. lol The scene I saw where Spader turns himself in at FBI headquarters was phenomenal.

 

[RASQ]

if the movies Silence of the Lambs and The Rock were to meet and fuck, this turd of a show would slither out.

 

[Jack Davenport]

Well I must admit that the relationship that Reddington has with the female FBI agent does give off a bit of the Lechter/Clarisse vibe but I think it will be more like the Anti-Jack Bauer.

 

[BCT]

I'll give it a look.

 

[Jack Davenport]

10 EST tonight on NBC

 

[Mayhem]

Since The Newsroom is in hiatus and Jeebus knows when season 3 is going to happen, I may as well check this one out.

 

[Jack Davenport]

Phenom.

 

[The Yak]

A reasonably entertaining premiere. The "Silence of the Lambs" vibe, while present, is not overpowering and Megan Boone is hot. I'll keep watching.

 

[Jack Davenport]

I was not disappointed and Megan Boone is smoking hot. I noticed right away that she is a girl. A question: The twist last night was that her husband is a Serbian terrorist? I thought I still saw him in the clips for next weeks show. I also think that another twist that is coming is that Reddington is somehow related to Keen or at least has ties to her ******.

 

[Austin Morgan]

I really enjoyed it!! I'm thinking the clips showing her husband may be flashbacks? If Reddington ends up being related to her I will give you a dollar. It could go that direction but I personally would like to keep it on the Hannibal/Clarice type relationship than turn it into a long lost blah blah relative. That being said however, the possibilities for sub-plots/backstory if they did end up being related would be endless. I think it will turn out well either way and will continue watching.

 

[Jack Davenport]

All of that makes sense and distinct possibilites. You seem very classy.

 

[The Yak]

When I saw the clips with her husband in future episodes I, for whatever reason, thought the dynamic is going to be that she can't let him know that she knows he's a bad guy for some reason. Friends close, enemies closer deal. So they go on living together and it's really awkward.

 

[Austin Morgan]

All of that makes sense and distinct possibilites. You seem very classy.

I'm classy biotch, classy like a whales vagina...

 

[Jack Davenport]

I'm not sure if a whale's vag is classy but if it is, only because they can make perfume out of it. Big and classy. And slippery.

 

[Austin Morgan]

In my head that was a lot funnier then the way it came out. Ron Burgundy is classy>Stay classy San Diego>San Diego means a whales vagina....I may or may not have been a couple of mimosas in when I posted that.

 

[BCT]

Incredible so far. Spader is just a great actor.

 

[fkknuckle]

Looks pretty legit!

 

[Mayhem]

I say that Spader is the girls ******.
