#no one cares because it isn’t Thomas who is 99% of this entire whole fandom

the blacklist 1x01 - pilot

okay so disclaimers: 

i have seen up to 4x07, but i wanted to rewatch during the hiatus and catch up. based on how long this TOOK ME GOOD LORD i will probably not catch up by the time tbl comes out. i have not watched redemption so if anything happens in that that answers questions in these posts, well then, feel free to tell me i honestly don’t care

these are just My Opinions.  please do not come in to my ask box or replies telling me i’m wrong or whatever. if i ask a question, feel free to answer, but please don’t try to come at my with some bullshit about how my opinions on certain characters are terrible.  i am well aware that my trash feelings about garbage characters are not well received in this fandom.  feel free to blacklist a certain name if you don’t want to see this lol

i’m terrible at remembering things so if questions are answered later in the seasons, i probably just forgot or wasn’t paying attention lol. feel free to join in discussions or whatever and answer questions or let me know when i get facts wrong

okay here we go

so it just starts right up and honestly i don’t 100% remember what happened to this henchman (i think he dies????) but i do remember that he is a like a key part to the red’s not actually red theory? the red is undercover theory? one of those

“home” raymond please

The Long Shot of the walk into the building like what a great choice a+ director

there’s a split second scene of a woman watching red take off his jacket and everything. like, no one else is looking but she’s watching him and like. honestly, same.

i cackle every time that picture on his wanted poster comes up. like what kind of homeless chic

RESSLER

MY BOY

my handsome man

i love him

okay so pilot episodes man. everything is always like so Wrong lol. like timelines

so 1990 red “defects”

1994 he supposedly shows back up and starts selling information

whatisthetruth.gif

ressler’s line is something like “the info that was sold was traced back to reddington” but like what if he was framed???? just because it could be traced back to him doesn’t mean he was the one to actually sell it? 

The Concierge of Crime - raymond please

i love raymond reddington lol sorry

coopers so dramatic “you have my attention” like calm down

“I speak only with Elizabeth Keen.” 

“who the hell is Elizabeth keen?” R E S S L E R

one of my favorite scenes is when liz and tom wake up lol. she jumps out of bed and she’s so hot omg i’m sweatin

i’m just going to say it.

tom is so attractive holy shit

“Baby, you okay? Do you need help?” you gonna help her brush her teeth thomas, calm down

the terrible wig i can’t deal. i know it was a pilot so they probably had a limited budget but like. we could do so much better than this. why not just let her have her real hair?? i’ll never understand

like the only time i liked k*en2 was early s1 before it all went to shit

that being said i love how they called each other babe like 47 times in ten minutes lol

ressler rolls up and and demands liz come with him and honestly if this were a Soulmate AU that’s the exact moment their worlds would burst in to color lol

when liz comes in to coopers office omg she’s so nervous I LOVE HER SO MUCH

and resslers just WATCHING HER RESSLER STOP YOUR CRUSH IS SHOWING

you’re not subtle

honestly, people praise cooper a lot, but he was kind of an asshole in the beginning

“My colleagues call me ‘sir’.” :((((( why omg

“He thinks I can be easily manipulated.” oh lizzy lol. girl i love you but come on

 this is one of many scenes where she looks really really good lol

FIRST MEETING

i love the mechanics of The Box tbh

HE’S SO HAPPY TO SEE HER

“i think you’re very special”

stop flirting please you’re killing me

“Everything about me is a lie.” honestly that red isn’t actually the real red theory is all i think about.  that and that red has been undercover this whole time theory.   

i don’t think i’ve actually reblogged them though because they’re so long lol

“If anyone can give me a second chance, it’s you.” i’m dead rip me

okay pilot episodes man. they’re always so rough and full of Wrong Information. like when red mentions liz being abandoned by a criminal father?? feel free to chime in with an explanation lol

i love the way liz storms back in to command and puts her finger on the door like what the fuck

tom is so hot i’m dying like i am truly A Bisexual

i always feel weird liking tom as much as i do because it’s not too long now until everything GOES TO SHIT

aww lizzy is so good with kids i love her

PLEASE JUST LET HER BE HAPPY

also this little girl is so cute and i love that she gives liz the bracelet

DRAMATIC CAR CRASH SCENE

try to come at me and tell me liz isn’t a good agent. she took down like four guys all on her own

okay ngl i got distracted by a moth flying at me during this scene so i missed a lot but

RESSLER WHITE KNIGHTING AND SHOOTING THAT GUY

AND THEN HE JUMPS IN THE RIVER AFTER THE LITTLE GIRL LIKE A BADASS

HONESTLY WHAT KIND OF POWER COUPLE

the scar makes another appearance! honestly they put so much emphasis on it and it really doesn’t play a role anymore???

“I was 14.” I HATE PILOT EPISODES LOL

red, you’re not subtle

his stare is so intense like how

i love the entire scene where red is in the command center telling them how like 99% of their information is wrong

i love him

my criminal dad

RAYMOND PLEASE

i love that liz is the one to solve it

SHE FIGURES IT OUT

BECAUSE SHE’S A PROFILER

REMEMBER THAT @nbcblacklist OR DID YOU FORGET????

and raymond looks so proud :333

though liz’s lip color is nagl :/

when red asks for the hotel (or rather demands it) like one) raymond please

but also

liz is so smitten she like can’t stop smiling lol

“live it up, pal” stop flirting, agent ressler

“don’t go too far” ressler @ liz like please be less subtle

liz was so happy when she came home and there were BALLOONS AND CHAMPAGNE AND HAPPY 

and then it was ruined lakdlkgjiaejoad

okay Opinion Time

tom should have died. i love tom but honestly they should have stuck with their original plan lol, because he is a mess/disaster

zamani putting red on blast “He was always so obsessed with you”

the stalk in to red’s hotel room because she’s so mad omg i’m aroused 

when she breaks the lamp omg i’m aroused

when she stabs red with the pen omg he’s aroused

the entire scene after the hotel scene where she’s just sitting there staring in to space and trying to clean

honestly that hurts me

when red runs lol like honestly ressler you should have known

i hate fake car rides like ELIZABETH KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD

SHE’S WONDERFUL SHE FIGURED OUT THE PLAN!!!!!

the back and forth parallels between ressler running after red and liz looking for the little girl like honestly

how about we don’t

liz willing to wait with the little girl even if it means she blows up

what kind of icon

her eyes are hella blue in this scene

“We’re gonna make a great team” hearteyes

“LEt’s do it again.” RAYMOND YOU’RE A TROLL

blargh another scene of sad liz stop this

did they ever explain the mark on the top of the box????

megan was so good in this scene with her hands shaking and shit like iconic tbh

THE FINAL SCENE WHERE THE LIGHT HITS HIS FACE WHY THIS
