So now that I've finally watched The Blacklist series finale ...

... I thought I'd share my Top 15 favorite episodes out of all 10 seasons it was on the air.

What? I fangirl hard. I won't apologize for that. 😏

Don't worry. I didn't just remember all of these episodes off the top of my head. I basically did a series 3-9 rewatch last fall before the final 10th season started. Then, I did a rewatch of the first 2 seasons while the 10th season ran because I couldn't remember some of those details they kept referencing.

Enough dilly dallying. Let's dive in, shall we?

Btw, these are in chronological order, and I've pinched the brief descriptions of each episode from IMDB.com:

Luther Braxton (s2, e9)

The task force tries to save Red when he's arrested and taken to a secret detention facility. At the facility, Red tangles with a thief with whom he shared a complicated history. Guest star: Ron Perlman as Luther Braxton

T. Earl King VI (s2, e14)

A former paramour involves Reddington in a deadly game with a wealthy and powerful family dynasty whose ill-begotten fortune was amassed from an underground auction of human and material contraband. Meanwhile, Tom takes on a new mission.

Marvin Gerard (s3, e2)

As Liz pleads for her safety in the Russian Embassy, Red discovers a new plan devised by the Cabal to kill her. A familiar face reaches out to Ressler. Guest star: Fisher Stevens as Marvin Gerard

Kings of the Highway (s3, e8)

Red and Liz are separated when Red falls into a perilous situation. Elsewhere, Samar makes a risky choice to help Liz, and Tom and Cooper continue their quest to exonerate Liz.

Mr. Gregory Devry (s3, e11)

With her name finally cleared, Liz attempts to reclaim her former life. Red works with the task force to infiltrate an assembly of high-level criminals at large in a rare, risky opportunity to capture the heads of the world's most lethal organized crime syndicates. Guest star: Jake Weber as Gregory Devry

The Apothecary (s4, e15)

Red has to figure out who betrayed him when he's poisoned; Liz and the task force look for the toxin's designer to save Red's life. Note: Even though season 4 had my favorite "Big Bad" of the entire series, I could only choose one episode from this season to include in my top 15.

Abraham Stern (s5, e11)

Red goes on the hunt for a legendary treasure; Liz studies the methods of one of the Blacklist's most dangerous criminals. Guest star: Nathan Lane as Abraham Stern

The Osterman Umbrella Company (s6, e14)

Red directs Liz to investigate a secret organization of assassins hired by global intelligence agencies to eliminate former agents, a case with ramifications that will change the task force forever. Note: This episode is probably the one that broke my heart the most. If you've seen it, then you'll know why.

Cornelius Ruck (s7, e12)

Secluded on a private island, Red reunites with an old flame and a ring of thieves in a plot to make millions off of stolen art. Plans are quickly derailed, however, when guests on the island mysteriously show up dead. Guest star: Joely Richardson as Cassandra Bianchi Note: I really liked this one as a nice one-off from the usual formula the show followed.

The Wellstone Agency (s8, e6)

Red and Dembe go to great lengths to fulfill the final wishes of a dear friend; Aram goes undercover as an interpreter to a company that provides services to criminals; Park helps a friend in trouble. Note: The sweetest goodbye I've ever seen a TV series give to a recurring character since The Big Bang Theory.

Anne (s8, e13)

Red enjoys a quiet visit with a friend at her home in rural America. Note: Another great one-off with an ending that made me hate Liz even more than I already did.

Ivan Stepanov (s8, e17)

Red tries desperately to rescue an old friend at all costs, while Liz and Townsend conduct an interrogation. Guest stars: David E. Harrison as Ivan Stepanov and Rana Roy as Priya Laghari

The SPK (s9, e3)

A new case involving stolen artifacts reunites Red with a former Blacklister. Aram faces a difficult decision. Guest star: Stacy Keach as Robert Vesco

Eva Mason (s9, e14)

While searching for Senator Panabaker's missing daughter-in-law, the task force learns there may be a larger pattern of abductions. Red continues to piece together the mystery behind Liz's death. Guest star: Lea DeLaria as Nurse Binstock

The Four Guns (s10, e3)

An assassination attempt on Sen. Panabaker leads the Task Force to a group of renowned pickpockets; Red sends a dangerous gift to an old friend in custody. Guest stars: Stacy Keach as Robert Vesco and Jacob Pitts as Quentin Dodd Note: The scene between Reddington and Quentin where the latter "reads" the former on command and almost perfectly characterizes him is one of my favorite scenes of the entire 10th season.

And that's it folks! I've liked a lot of episodes over the show's run, even when Liz made me want to pull my hair out or when the writing was not as strong as I hoped.

But these 15 episodes above are probably the ones I would recommend to someone who has never seen the show, but wants to know what I liked about it so much that made me stick with it until the end.

As I mentioned before, season 4 had my favorite major villain (aka "Big Bad") but I only picked one episode from that season to add to this list. And although I think season 8 was the most infuriating in terms of characterization, it actually had a lot of great episodes that I would watch over and over again.

I think it's interesting that I didn't have any episodes from season 1 on my list. 🤔

I'm not going to review the series finale or the show overall. I just wanted to mark the occasion and say that I'm happy to see the show sunset, and I will be forever grateful that it gave us 10 years of James Spader on my television.

Yes, I hated that they didn't answer any of my questions about who Red really was to Liz, but I'm still feeling very, very grateful because this character was one for the ages.

So, I noticed we're both on a Gwendoline Christie and Alfred Molina kick (which is weird that personal tastes run so alike!). Do you have any other actors you simp hard for? Asking for a friend who wants to expand her obsession towards other characters.

Weird? Nah. A happy occurrence. You should have seen me when I discovered that I and @omgbrainstorming like some of the same characters. Or how happy I was when I saw that you liked Molina as well. 😊

Well, for actors:

Mark Sheppard - as Crowley (SPN), James Sterling (Leverage)

2. Michael Sheen - as Aziraphale (Good Omens), Aro Volturi (Twilight), Martin Whitly (Martin Whitly)

3. Anthony Hopkins - as Hannibal, Stevens (The Remains of the Day), Frank Doel (84 Charing Cross Road)

4. Lana Parrilla - as Regina Mills (OuaT), Rita Castillo (Why Women Kill)

5. James Spader - as Raymond Reddington (Blacklist), Alan Shore (Boston Legal)

For characters, I was tagged in a fandom tag game once, so I'll put that:

The Librarians: Jenkins

Harry Potter: Severus Snape, Lucius Malfoy

The Devil Wears Prada: Miranda Priestly

GoT/asoiaf: Tyrion Lannister and Brienne of Tarth (obviously 😁)

BBC Sherlock: Mycroft Holmes

Agatha Christie’s Poirot: Hercule Poirot

Hellsing: The Major, Walter C. Dornez

Avatar: Dr. Grace Augustine

Daredevil (TV series): Franklin “Foggy” Nelson and Wilson Fisk

Pirates of the Caribbean: Hector Barbossa and Cutler Beckett

The Sandman (2022): Lucifer Morningstar (does it come as a surprise? 😁)

I'm sure there are others I can't recall just now. 😅 And you know I like Jafar from the animated movie since your fics are the ones I read repeatedly. 😊

Amazing Investigation - Sentencing of Dozens for Fraud

Dozens sentenced for their roles in Atlanta-based fraud and money laundering operation that stole over $30 million from individuals and companies. ATLANTA, GA (STL.News) More than three dozen individuals have been sentenced for involvement in a large-scale fraud and money laundering operation that targeted individuals, corporations, and financial institutions throughout the United States.  The defendants used business email compromise schemes, romance fraud scams, and retirement account scams, among other fraud of over $30 million from numerous victims. “The Department of Justice has tirelessly worked for more than four years to obtain justice for dozens of victims impacted by this brazen criminal organization,” said U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan.  “The defendants’ sentences should serve as a stark warning to others that fraud and money laundering crimes are top priorities for this office and our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners.” “Several members of this conspiracy fraudulently obtained funds from ERISA-covered employee benefit plans.  The funds, which originated from unwitting individuals’ retirement accounts, were deposited into personal and business bank accounts that were created in furtherance of this money-laundering conspiracy.  The greed of the conspirators caused workers and prospective retirees to lose significant portions of their hard-earned retirement funds.  We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners and the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration to protect the integrity of employee benefit plans,” said Mathew Broadhurst, Special Agent-in-Charge, Southeast Region, U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General. “These fraud scams, although not violent, are not victimless and can be devastating to businesses and individuals who fall prey to them,” said Keri Fairly, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta.  “The sentencing of all these individuals shows the FBI’s dedication to working with our partners to hold anyone accountable who would steal from hard-working and honest individuals, rather than put in the work themselves.” “These scammers defrauded individuals and companies, enriching themselves,” said Acting Special Agent in Charge Travis Pickard, who oversees Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) operations in Georgia and Alabama.  “HSI and its law enforcement partners will continue to work tirelessly to protect the integrity of the nation’s financial infrastructure and ensure that financial crimes do not go unpunished.” “This sentencing illustrates the Secret Service’s dedication to protecting our nation’s financial systems,” said Steven R. Baisel, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Secret Service’s Atlanta Field Office.  “We are thankful for our law enforcement partners’ commitment and support as we worked together to bring this case to justice.” According to U.S. Attorney Buchanan, the charges and other information presented in court: The defendants engaged in multiple fraud and money laundering conspiracies that stole millions of dollars frms located throughout the United States and abroad.  The defendants were charged across several related pending cases.

The Resident Rulebreakers: Season 2, Episode 28 - Surviving Hiatus: Week 30 - Rude Awakenings and the Raptor: AJ’s First Episode

-

We would like to congratulate President-Elect Biden and Vice-President Elect Harris on their election to the White House. VP-elect Harris makes history by being the first woman elected to this office, and also the first POC elected to be the VP of the US. She reminds us that you can do anything if you dream it. We're excited to see 2021 and what it brings.

“ARCANE WIRELESS”

"So, what is the purpose - if I'm willing to risk everything good in my life, to even defend risking it as necessary or just when I know the result will only be a deepening darkness?"

► fandom: the blacklist ► character: raymond 'red' reddington ► song: healing (elskavon)

I own neither the footage nor music and make no profit.

Primarily, this music video serves as a celebration of James Spader's 62nd birthday! Just as important as recognizing Raymond Reddington on an individual level are the characters that best enable us to explore his humanity further - in particular, Dembe, Mierce, Weecha, Agnes, Cooper, and Marvin.

Hope you enjoy!

Pitch for a Supermassive Games installment:

1) The title: THE ENEMY WAY (referring to the Navajo traditional ceremony for countering the harmful effects of chindi, which are vengeful ghosts)

2) The premise:

In Arizona, the Yazzie family inherits a horse ranch that belonged to a distant relative. Although the Yazzies aren’t familiar with the practice of caring for horses, the family is nonetheless excited over the prospect of moving into a new location. What starts out as a fun trip to the new home quickly turns into a nightmare when they learn that the ranch is haunted by “chindi” aka vengeful ghosts. 

Chindi: The ghost left behind after a person dies, believed to leave the body with the deceased's last breath. It is everything that was bad about the person, the "residue that man has been unable to bring into universal harmony".

Based on the player’s actions, either the Yazzie family will be able to survive the night...or suffer the same fate of the ghosts that haunt their new home. 

3) Influences (movies that you can watch to get a feel for what I’m going for with this pitch):

Poltergeist (this is the main influence), The Exorcist, The Haunting of Hill House, The Conjuring, Insidious, The Evil Dead

If you want to get specific, the Navajo level from Beyond Two Souls 

4) The Playable Cast:

* Grant Yazzie (played by Zahn McClarnon): Patriarch of the Yazzie family / COMMANDING, STUBBORN

* Mabel Yazzie (played by Kimberly Norris Guerrero): Matriarch of the Yazzie family / COMPASSIONATE, HARDWORKING

* Noah Yazzie (played by Tatanka Means): Grant and Mabel’s eldest son / RATIONAL, BRAVE

* Amber Yazzie (played by Jessica Matten): Grant and Mabel’s eldest daughter / INTELLIGENT, PERSUASIVE 

* Raul Yazzie (played by Forrest Goodluck): Grant and Mabel’s youngest son / RECKLESS, WITTY  

* Lenora Yazzie (played by Amber Midthunder): Grant and Mabel’s uoungest daughter / ADVENTUROUS, DILIGENT    

* Jerome Kim (played by Steven Yeun): Amber’s Korean-American boyfriend / ROMANTIC, INSECURE 

* Morgan Reddington (played by Elizabeth Henstridge): Friend of the Yazzie family and Noah’s love interest / LOYAL, INDECISIVE 

5) Non-Playable Cast:

* “The Medicine Man” (played by Wes Studi): A medicine man who coaches the player as the game goes on. He is the game’s equivalent to Eliza Vorez, the Curator, and Dr. Alan Hill.

Favorite Character from 10 Fandoms

Thanks for the tag, @rvnoir

Rules: List your favorite character from 10 different fandoms and then tag 10 people.

There is nothing more difficult than trying to come up with a list. And favorites? The worst.

Altair Ibn-La'Ahad (isn't it?) - Assassin's Creed

Optimus Prime - the old cartoon Transformers

Edward Kenway - Assassin's Creed Black Flag (shut up it counts)

Raymond Reddington - Blacklist

motherfucking ridiculous ass bitch William Masters - Illogical Husbands crossover

James T Kirk - Star Trek

John Henry "Doc" Holliday - Wynonna Earp

Dean Winchester - Supernatural

Steven (with a V) Grant - Moon Knight

Tony Stark - Iron Man/MCU

This was ridiculously difficult for me. I was like HAVE I EVEN SEEN 10 FANDOMS like I haven't been in all of these doing things. Also it's hard to narrow it down to one single character because usually I like the interactions of 2. Pairings would be easier.
