iconic

If you get old enough and you watch enough TV you will realize that it is one thing for the producers to deliver a solid and entertaining show and yet quite another to deliver an iconic show, a show you may actually remember some 10 or 20 years from now.
Buffy was iconic. Sopranos. Breaking Bad.
I am a big fan of Blacklist and consider this one of the most riveting episodes.
I also suspect there is a quiet rivalry among TV writers these days to see who can detour their script into Crazytown and come back again ... without getting caught.
To date, the most daring scripts have lately (in the opinion of this reviewer) come out of Banshee.
Until this episode of Blacklist, I would have though that hard to top. But the Blacklist boys did it.
Banshee caught a lot of eyeballs last year with an inspired re-imagining of Assault on Precinct 13. It was brilliant but also derivative.
In this episode of Blacklist, the sight of a pregnant bride gracefully walking up the aisle as her belly is painted with laser sights -- knowing no one will shoot because the orders are to take her alive --- is the winning trope.
It is unforgettable. It goes into the annals of TV history.

No Good Guys Die????
noonieblount30 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This has to be one of the worst episodes. With all of the fire power Mr. Solomon had with him, not one of the good guys manages to get killed except for an innocent church lady. And let us not forget that Lizzy manages to still bring up her mother and wanting to know more about her while a shootout is taking place. Oh, how did Agent Ressler manage to get past all of the armed men to walk right through the front entrance of the church. Come on writers, this is becoming increasingly annoying and unbearable. Wait....a not too shocking event takes place, Lizzy and Tom manage to make it out of the church and into a non-bullet riddled vehicle that is parked in front of the church. As they drive off she takes one last look back. Maybe she should have turned into a pillar of salt like Lot's wife.
Too Much!
Hitchcoc17 November 2022
This episode is just plain silly. Solomon is back and he wants Elizabeth (for whatever reason). So she and Tom are about to get married when Solomon and his gang attack the church. I agree with those that wonder how, trapped inside a wooden building and being riddled by machine gun fire, only an innocent church lady gets killed. Most of the episode involves the assumption that a nuclear device is going to be stolen as it is being transferred. The whole thing with Elizabeth and the mystery mother is getting really tiresome. It detracts from the essential reason for the forces at work. I think Liz and Tom should go on an eleven year honeymoon and never be seen again.
Somebody shoot ME!!!

The show is spiraling down to pure garbage. Can Lizzie make any worse decisions? It's laughable. She deserves to fail.
Somebody kill Solomon Somebody kill Tom . . . PLEASE!!!!! Did Lizzie's mother run away after dropping her on her head?
I just can't get past how bad this series has become. As the other reviewer questioned, "have all the writers quit???"

Plot Getting a Little Ridiculous
LumpyMusic16 April 2016
I sense we're headed for the end of this show. The plot has gone "over the hump" where Elizabeth and Reddington were a "sweet and sour" mix with different motivations but the same goal.
Now it's turned from thriller/crime/spy flick to ridiculously staged shootouts where the good guys fight off dozens of heavily armed tactical bad guys using only a couple of pistols.
Becoming heavy on the "Chick Flick" angle with the "What a wonderful guy (Tom)" and the "You're like the father I never had (Harold)".
The show peaked with Elizabeth on the run, then caught, then tried and took the deal. Now there's nowhere for it to go but to this silly "Feel good" and "Shoot 'em up" nonsense.

This episode is garbage and is insulting to black list fans. Nothing makes sense from The Keens deciding to get married to the FBI agents who will give their lives up for a hormonal Keen insisting on trying to have her fairytale wedding. The spoiled brat agent just has to drag everyone to their knees.
Did someone from the 70s 'A-Team' write this?

Warning: Spoilers
Such a low quality episode with lack of attention to detail. There are so many problems with this episode and storyline that it is getting annoying and unpleasant to watch.
-We are just expected to believe that someone would go to great and impossible efforts, expend many lives, risk capture, to acquire the annoying and immature Elizabeth Keene. She is a living 'MacGuffin' plot device. It's getting old.
-The characters are not acting realistically, even for a fictional spy adventure. It really is childish nonsense. 'WE MUST TAKE HER ALIVE AND UNHARMED! EVERYONE SHOOT AT THE CHURCH RANDOMLY with your high power weapons!"
-The laws of physics no longer apply. High velocity rifle rounds unable to penetrate cheap sheetrock walls with Agent Ressler's head right on the other side. No harm!
-Were we supposed to be inspired by the heavily pregnant Lizzy waddling across the church to pick up a bag of ammo for the team? I have respect for the actress' work ethic while pregnant in real life, but, I couldn't help feel bad for her she looked really uncomfortable.
Episodes like this make me want to give up on the show.

It only took three and a half seasons to realize no matter how interesting the storyline, and the strength of other actors, everything about Agent Liz Keen brings down this entire show. I couldn't watch while this first came on as her character was the opposite of what a star agent would encompass, now that it's on Netflix, I tried it again unable to watch whole episodes, FF anytime Liz was on, and thank goodness they let go of her character, in the worst episode thus far. The show was becoming less & less interesting, but throwing in a shotgun wedding, shootout, then random running around to revisit the mobile ER set, reuse same ole Redding stay away was a desperate grasp at something... thank goodness we don't have to question another groomer's disastrous choice & the writers can quit hating on women with her terrible lines & shooting skills.
Hoping the show gets better now!

Moronic beyond belief.

I've pretty much bailed - for good - with this moronic episode that would insult a Trump fanboy's intelligence. First, Bimbo Liz, the FBI profiler, is getting married - again - to the guy who was originally paid to woo her and make her his wife - and who later tried to kill her (before she subsequently tried to kill him AND held him hostage for months). They decide that morning to have the wedding that very afternoon. Then Red (and let's face it, he couldn't possibly know every gonzo international creepy criminal in the frigging world because there's not enough willful suspension of disbelief in the known universe to tolerate this nonsense) learns that criminals intend to steal a nuclear bomb and, per usual, tells Bimbo Liz. She then waltzes into the FBI building in the morning and alerts them about the bomb, and then it's 'By the way, Tom and I are getting married this afternoon, and I hope you can all make it after you put down that pesky nuclear threat to the entire world in the next couple of hours. See ya, gotta go!' (ostensibly humming 'Get me to the church on time' in her empty, cobwebbed transom). To add insult to injury, I had to fast-forward thru the dull-as-dishwater first act with killer/husband-for-hire Tom and Bimbo Liz - who couldn't 'profile' a chipmunk - making googly eyes at each other.
Sigh. I ended up gving it TWO more chances (with judicious additional bimbo fast-forwarding) as the nuclear crooks shoot up the wedding, Liz gets dead (the _only_ bright spot in 60 some episodes, but you KNOW it's ALL a subterfuge to get the baddies off her scent and she'll reappear in season 4 like the nastiest unshakable case of jock itch). And Red is ALL broken up episode's end to 'lose' the airhead... so I said, what the hell, one more episode won't hurt (more fool me...) to see what the writers do without The Bimbo dragging the whole friggin' ship down to Marianas Trench depths of idiocy.
Opening scene, we find Red in an opium den smoking /snorting /stabbing, whatever, sleeping off the devastating hurt (I'd be having the party of a lifetime, but...) and he grabs a cab out to Cape May and hides in a deserted bed and breakfast, one of those 'Summer of 42' snobby but rundown New England beach mansions, and (what a shock!) meets a mysterious woman... About 6 minutes on, I KNEW that this whole episode was going to be tossed off as an opium dream, and the chick was going to represent The Dead Mother of Dead Bimbo (an annoying running subplot that is not worth the effort to explain). Or...are they??? Tune into the next juvenile, inept, unbelievable 150 frigging hours or so of...the Bleccch List.
Never Again. I'd rather have the equivalent of root canal applied to my penis and scrotum. The ONLY thing I'll miss is that tall brunette Mosad agent Navabi (sic). Wouldn't mind dancing the horizontal tango with that one.
