Would we still focus on the origin of Raymond Reddington as it pertained to Elizabeth?

Would we give up on focusing on Reddington’s past entirely?

Would the Blacklist cease to exist?

Would the Task Force simply go on capturing (and sometimes releasing) baddies as usual?

No, that simply was not on my radar.

Back in the (dare I say good?better?)

Can that mystery hold the narrative weight that the mythology of Red and Liz once did?

“I was at home, drinking, blogging my troubles.”

“The vodka iscold, the girls arehot.”

“What do you have that’sroom temperature.”

Girl,same.See you back here next week!
