http://www.ew.com/recap/the-blacklist-season-3-episode-2?hootPostID=e3b64bcbc5a25655b6cea39ddf696f19we need to talk about that scene. You know the one. THE scene. The one where Red and Lizzie walked out of a shipping container decorated like an X-Men villain’s secret lair, onto the deck of a cargo ship in the middle of an unknown ocean, and he told her that she’s his North Star. Because if there was ever any question that this show is about the relationship between Raymond Reddington and Elizabeth Keen – not just the connection between them, but their relationship: the people they are, the people they make each other – then season 3 is answering that with a loud and resounding, “This IS the story of Lizzie and Red, and here’s an itemized list of their childhood dreams to prove it.” It’s doing that with confidence; it’s doing that with pizzazz; it’s doing it to the tune of “Our House” by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
The Blacklist is – to borrow from the series’ own writers – taking “a perilously fast run down a slippery road” toward becoming a very different show in its third season than it was in the two that proceeded it. And to continue borrowing from Marvin and Red’s analogies, thus far, I think they’re hitting every green light. The moment the tracks of the FBI and the tracks of Red and Lizzie began to run perpendicular rather than the hazy form of parallel they’d been following for the first two seasons, the entire construct of the series changed, in even its most basic form – a Blacklister is no longer a Blacklister in the way that they were when Red was forking criminals over to the FBI for his own gain. Now we’re exploring Red’s network of shady acquaintances on his terms and his terms alone. Look at Marvin Gerard: the man was already in jail, nearly finished with his lawful punishment, and certainly not someone Red would hand over to Ressler. Exactly what kind of list are season 3’s Blacklister’s comprising.
The Blacklist’s creators have done a very smart thing by keeping the plot focused on exonerating Lizzie, while making Red’s devotion to that mission what’s propelling that narrative forward. Only two episodes in and we’ve already met two acquaintances with secret hidey holes just for Red, and one man close enough to Red to know that Lizzie is “the one who made him throw away his freedom.” If learning about Red as a means of learning about Lizzie-and-Red is the new Blacklist then bring it on…
