Regardless of its faults, this was a great end to a great first season and leaves season two open to dozens of different outcomes.

They still haven’t addressed the house Reddington bought and then blew up mid-season and I want answers!

What have we learned about Tom in this episode?

So far we’ve learned that he’s kind of a bastard.

Regardless of where they take the next episode, this week was fantastic.

For Reddington, this story was a manipulation.

This episode wasn’t their best but it did open up some new storylines and provide enough information to keep the viewers asking questions.

This was a good comeback episode for the New Year.

Further down the rabbit hole we go into the life and times of Raymond Reddington.

I hate two-parters. I’m not a patient person and I hate having to wait an entire week for resolution.

This week we delve into the personal life of Elizabeth Keen!We finally find out who her father is. . . or do we?

I still think it’s a potential waste on the creators' parts to have access to such a talent and not fully utilize it.

Week six! The answers we’ve been waiting for!

Within his body he had hidden a personalized escape kit.

As for Ressler, his character finally becomes multidimensional this episode and displays a sympathetic side.

She is essentially alone, just like Reddington.

The second episode of The Blacklist aired this week and as expected, the plot thickens.

As far as pilots go, The Blacklist was attention grabbing, informative, and left room for an intricate plot to develop.
