The Blacklist: Luther Braxton (No. 21) Conclusion
February 6, 2015 10:35 AM - Season 2, Episode 10 - Subscribe
Braxton kidnaps Lizzie and subjects her to an experimental hypnotherapy procedure to recover her memory of the fire and The Fulcrum.
This is the second time a major plot point is delivered by a cute toy animal.

And they definitively show us that Red isn't Lizzie's father ... only to wave it away with the memory thing AGAIN.
I might have yelled a bit at the screen at that point...and come straight to FanFare to shout some more. I also may have muttered about the reveal of using the bunny as storage, though I suppose it could be argued that it was a clever use of back story.

Shoutout to David Strathairn 's role in Alphas with the 'swimming' comment.
Oh, Alphas. I wish more show-runners would follow the John Rogers model of making sure your season has a satisfying conclusion when renewal status is unknown. Now my strongest memory of the show is that damned cliff-hanger.
Sorry Ron Perlman didn't have more to do, but Spader's asides about his corpse were cute.
As ever, I find most everything about the plotting to be silly or incomprehensible, but am happy to keep watching for as long as they can continue to pull in great actors for Spader to do his monologue-ing with. (Oh, lord, wouldn't it be awesome if they could find a role to get Kurt Russell onboard for an episode? And what about Erick Avari?)

Red was a commissioned officer in the Navy, that was pretty fucking sketchy.

I was thinking about the whole Reddington/Lizzie thing, and I don't really understand why they keep teasing us with the 'is Red really her father' connection. Red torturing her dad for the Fulcrum, torching the house, and then hearing little Lizzie screaming in the closet, going "my God, what have I become?!" and then rescuing her and placing her with a trusted associate is a totally understandable and explicable backstory. It's a little cliche, but this back-and-forth is bullshit.
