The Blacklist took a little detour away from Red (James Spader) this week, and delved into Donald Ressler’s (Diego Klattenhoff) tangled past. The Ressler brothers – Don and Robby (Anthony Michael Hall) dealt with a long-buried skeleton in the family closet.… More “The Blacklist (S07E17) “Brothers””

The Blacklist (S07E16) “Nyle Hatcher”
In a change of pace, this weeks episode of The Blacklist gave us a cold case from Liz’s (Megan Boone) past. And with the task force occupied, Red (James Spader) and Dembe (Hisham Tawfiq) had problems of their own.… More “The Blacklist (S07E16) “Nyle Hatcher””
The Blacklist (S07E15) “Gordon Kemp”
The Blacklist took a little break from “gross, over the top Blacklisters” and stayed closer to home for this weeks fare. They also sailed into controversial seas, landing themselves right in the middle of the gun debate.… More “The Blacklist (S07E15) “Gordon Kemp””
The Blacklist (S07E14) “Twamie Ullulaq”
The Blacklist episode Twamie Ullulaq gave us a respite from Washington, DC and sent the task force up to Alaska. And why? Seems Red’s (James Spader) shipping containers have gone missing in the Alaska Triangle.… More “The Blacklist (S07E14) “Twamie Ullulaq””
The Blacklist (S07E13) “Newton Purcell”
This weeks episode of The Blacklist, Newton Purcell, was a mixed bag. A straight forward case of the week, Aram (Amir Arison) still making wrong choices, and Liz (Megan Boone) on the hunt for someone.… More “The Blacklist (S07E13) “Newton Purcell””
The Blacklist (S07E12) “Cornelius Ruck”
Following on from where we left off last week, The Blacklist gave us a classic murder mystery in Cornelius Ruck. A very Red (James Spader) centric episode, with no case of the week for the FBI task force was a fun change of pace.… More “The Blacklist (S07E12) “Cornelius Ruck””
The Blacklist (S07E11) “Victoria Fenberg”
After a three month hiatus, The Blacklist is back! While not the double episode originally promised (thanks COVID-19…) the mid season opener, Victoria Fenberg was a fun episode. When Red (James Spader) has fun, we all do.… More “The Blacklist (S07E11) “Victoria Fenberg””
The Mandalorian (S01E08) “Redemption”
The Season 1 finale of The Mandalorian did everything it needed to. Tied up most loose ends, gave us all the feels, and set up the plot for Season 2.
At the end of episode 7, things looked dire with Mando (Pedro Pascal) and the gang trapped inside Greef Karga’s (Carl Weathers) old cantina.… More “The Mandalorian (S01E08) “Redemption””
The Mandalorian (S01E07) “The Reckoning”

The Blacklist (S07E10) “Katarina Rostova”
The Blacklist fall finale was a mixed bag of action, twists and some familiar tropes. For a Fall finale, it was pretty good, setting up the back half of the season.
It started right where we ended last week, with Liz (Megan Boone) holding the smooth talking Katarina Rostova (Laila Robins) at gunpoint.… More “The Blacklist (S07E10) “Katarina Rostova””
The Mandalorian (S01E06) “The Prisoner”
Chapter 6 of The Mandalorian gave us another adventure of the week, but has me wondering what direction the show is heading. After rescuing the most adorable green baby in the parsec, it’s been ‘take your kid to work day’ since then.… More “The Mandalorian (S01E06) “The Prisoner””
The Blacklist (S07E09) “Orion Relocation Services”

The Mandalorian (S01E05) “The Gunslinger”

The Mandalorian (S01E04) “Sanctuary”
Chapter 4 of the new Disney+ show, The Mandalorian was a change of pace from the previous 3 chapters. We open with peaceful villagers farming blue krill from ponds on a forested planet. But it doesn’t take long to realize that all is not the paradise it seems, when bandits (who look suspiciously like LOTR Urak-Hai) raid the village, stealing the krill harvest.… More “The Mandalorian (S01E04) “Sanctuary””
The Blacklist (S07E08) “The Hawaladar”
On this weeks episode of The Blacklist, the case of the week was secondary to Red’s (James Spader) mission to find his friend, Ilya (Brett Cullen). Yes, as we discovered last week, Red is not Ilya.… More “The Blacklist (S07E08) “The Hawaladar””

In this weeks Blacklist episode, Dr. Lewis Powell, the blacklister case was secondary to staffing issues. Red (James Spader) was concerned there was a traitor in his organization, while the task force dealt with a new agent.… More “The Blacklist (S07E06) “Dr. Lewis Powell””
