Blacklist Continues to Suck

Just when I thought Blacklist was going to emerge from its downward spiral, it flushed itself right back down the toilet. I had complained that at the start of this current season, (season six,) Lizzy had decided to turn against Red Reddington, and had sworn to destroy him. This after Red Reddington had saved her life, oh, about half a dozen times, and the lives of most or even all of her friends in the FBI.

So it was like, huh? A man saves your life, multiple times, and now you want to destroy him because he may not be the same man you thought he was. Why don't you just ask the dude? No, it's more like let's destroy him instead.

But as the season progressed, Lizzy decides that maybe she doesn't want to destroy him. And this after she quite nearly did. Seconds from being lethally injected, Harold, the FBI Deputy Director comes through and gets the president of the U.S. to call and stop the execution.

Okay, and Lizzy is back on board with Reddington. But wait. Now, Red Reddington saves, once again the lives of Lizzy's fellow FBI members, this time Aram and Samar. But to do that, Red had to abide by Samar's wish to leave everyone behind so as to "hide" from the assassins trying to kill her. But wait, because Red had a hand in helping Samar "disappear off the grid," now Aram hates Red and HE wants to destroy him. Never mind that he's the one keeping Samar alive.

Come on...this is getting beyond ridiculous. I mean, the guy can't understand that Red is only doing what Samar wanted, which was to get away for her safety and to protect everyone from harm? And now he can only harbor a hatred for Red for "taking her away from me..."? This is so dumb, it's like the guy has the IQ of a five year old! Is the idiot still in kindergarten?

Nope. It's dumb. Too dumb and I can't stand dumb. Can't anyone write some smart episodes with some smart plots for Blacklist please? Let me know when they do, and stop regurgitating the stupid story lines that I've grown tired of long ago.
