'The Blacklist' Renewed for Season 7


https://tvline.com/2019/03/11/the-blacklist-renewed-season-7-nbc/

I thought for sure this show was a goner when NBC decided to air it in the Friday night death slot and in a January no less. Glad to see it's surviving.

Now, let's hope the writers try to remember Liz has a daughter.

I thought it was a gonna as well. Not sure if I will bother watching it.

I was hoping they would cancel it so that I could stop watching. At this point the show has just become an exercise in stupidity, and I only watch it because I hate walking away from a show until I get to the end. But frankly as this season bounces along with ridiculous twist after ridiculous twist I don't think I'll make it to the end.

reply


Amen. It is SO dumb. I watch it only for Spader.

I will reluctantly continue to watch as long as Spader is there. He could entertain me reading from a phone book. If he ever
leaves, I'm done immediately.

I agree with others on this--I'm only there for Spader. I've only watched fewer than a half dozen American product tv shows in the last 10 years! hahaha So to sit still for this, has been a real accomplishment in patience.

So it took some mighty acting juju for me to tune in to this many episodes of something made by NBC since I left ALL networks behind almost 20 years ago.

I hope against hope season 7 is the last. With a new fan base (rather then we oldies who always liked him since the days of White Palace, etc.), he surely has the followers now to support a truly excellent tv series written by top writers and aired on one of the prestige networks.

Was really doing fingers crossed he'd be freed after season 6 to move on to something worthy of his talent. But guess not this year, sigh.

Maybe next year. BTW, did we ever establish whether he was or was not Keen's Dad? In all the meandering the stories have done, I've forgotten.

reply

Ah! Yes.

I stand to be corrected by anybody with a better memory than mine, but I do not think Reddington turned out to be Keen's dad.

First, he was a Russian as we found out later, who had the surgery to LOOK like Reddington---which of course does not mean he could not be the dad since he had an affair with Keen's (alleged anyway) mom.

But if memory serves, they tested Keen's DNA against the DNA in the blood on the clothing that the FBI had in their evidence lock up. And that was clothing from Keen's real dad, not the guy posing as Reddington after the plastic surgery. Everybody presumed it was Spader/Reddington's DNA too, naturally. But it was her real dad's. As far as I can remember, nobody took a cheek swab from The New Reddington at the time they compared Keen's with the blood DNA. It was just blood DNA from the clothing the FBI had.....

I believe you are correct, but with this goofy show, you never know. Hey! I'm a poet, and I know it! I watch it now only for Spader. He could entertain me reading a grocery list!

reply

Spader is the only reason I continue to watch the show - I don't think much of the sub-plots in each episode and only pay attention to what is happening when he is on.

reply


Ditto!

Whoa - last night was really weird with the pregnant men. How political was that one?

reply


WAY too political, and weird to boot!

😎

reply

I'd rather they do weird, edgy stuff than assassination-attempt-of-the-week though. It was certainly an interesting idea, although it felt like it needed to be explored over more than one episode.

Spader's sarcasm was the highlight of it though.

reply


Meh, but as to Spader's sarcasm:

👍😎

I am underwhelmed by this news. This show has become incredibly dumb and convoluted. I watch now only for Spader.
He could entertain me by reading from a phone book.
