JOHN EISENDRATH:What is she thinking about?
If that’s a problem for other people, tough."
Liz is going to do what she has to do.

And she’s realizing that she can’t undo this, and she’s moving forward at all costs.
A lot is going on, and a lot that can go wrong.
There are moves on the chessboard that Liz has not anticipated.
It’s different than any other season.
This is really uncharted waters for all of these characters.
They are evolving and changing in ways that we haven’t seen before.
I need to ask about Ressler [Diego Klattenhoff] and Liz’s kiss.
While it’s done so Liz can disarm him, it’s still an emotional moment.
So what’s next for them?
She’s kind of busy.
But emotionally, I think yes.
She was only able to disarm him because she was actually real in her emotions.
Harold [Harry Lennix] is also in a very complicated place.
He says he’s angry at Liz, but livid at Red.
Where does Harold fit in this battle between Liz and Red?
Red is not going to stomach saying they’re mad at Liz and is livid at him.
It affects him when he hears what Harold says.
I mean, he has to decide how much to support her.
Getting her answers might result in her not being safe.
I wanted to touch on the character of Dom being recast after thedeath of Brian Dennehy.
How did you come to that decision?
He always played a pivotal role in the mythology of the show.
So we decided to recast it.
Going into season 8, what can you say about where things go from here?
BOKENKAMP:I’m excited about all of the different Blacklisters we have this season.
In terms of general themes, one overarching theme of the show has always been identity.
Another big theme this season is truth: It’s about answers and honesty.
