If you were watching The Blacklist for the first time during Thursday’s Season 3 premiere, you might have expected the episode’s opening moments to have a very different outcome.
You might have expected that Agents Ressler, Navabi and Mojtabai would be successful in their capture of Red and Liz, or that their wide perimeter of cop cars and police officers would prevent the fugitives from ever getting out of Washington, D.C.
But if you’ve been with the NBC series since Episode 1, you know that Red and Liz’s immediate capture was never even a possibility.

Public-service announcement for longtime fans of Raymond Reddington & Co.: The Blacklist‘s upcoming third season won’t be the same series to which you’ve grown accustomed.
Although Ep John Eisendrath tells TVLine that Season 3 (premiering Oct. 1 at 9/8c) will “still be delivering blacklisters” and will stay true to its procedural roots, he also previews that the James Spader-fronted series “will have a different feel” in its upcoming year, given the events of last May’s finale.

By the time credits rolled on The Blacklist's Season 2 finale last May, everything we thought we knew about the NBC drama had been blown apart.
Liz, having murdered Attorney General Tom Connolly, landed herself on the FBI’s Most Wanted list and began the life of a fugitive with Red by her side (and her former FBI colleagues on her tail).

Meanwhile, news of The Cabal’s existence was leaked to the press, and good ol’ Tom Keen… well, we’re not exactly sure what he went off to do.

If The Blacklist creator Jon Bokenkamp ever decides his series needs rebranding, I’d like to suggest the alternate title Elizabeth Keen and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Life. (The hashtag might need some work, but I’m willing to rally around the #Ekatthngvbl cause if you guys are.)
As if it weren’t enough that Liz has spent the last two years living a Truman Show existence — Your marriage is a lie! Your childhood memories have been blocked! Everyone else knows more about your life than you do! — our protagonist started the Season 2 finale with the new knowledge...

If we took a census and made a list of super-villain goals, taking over the world would probably make the number one slot, and achieving immortality would probably make number two. Real-life science has been wholeheartedly pursuing the goal of unending life. I even reviewed a documentary about the subject for this very website at last year’s Hot Docs, but despite some giant leaps in knowledge, living forever is still just a fantasy. Unless you’re a jellyfish. The latest episode of The Blacklist had immortality on the mind, as Red’s pick for this week’s adventure was conducting human experiments into achieving the unachievable.
It was a return to the classical structure of The Blacklist after the divergence of the last couple of weeks, the clip show and the redemption of Tom Keen. Once again, Red comes in with a name, “The Longevity Initiative,” and the FBI...

Finally, an episode about everyone’s favorite fake husband secret agent! Of course, you know I’m being sarcastic, right? Holding on to Tom Keen as a regular character on The Blacklist struck me as a move akin to when Alias tried to hold on to characters like Will and Francie even though the point of having them around had long since disappeared and taking time out of the plot to service them seemed more a distraction than anything. The Blacklist has had many chances to eliminate Tom Keen, but for some reason it feels compelled to keep him in play. Now, presented with another opportunity to get rid of him in this episode, they once again passed up on the chance.
In a sense, “Tom Keen” was all about repetition. The whole subplot about Liz being accused of the murder of the harbourmaster, Ames, a murder committed by he ex-husband,...

The adage about a rising tide lifting all boats doesn’t seem to apply to media and entertainment. Only 21% of 61 industry execs surveyed in March said they expect to create jobs or hire talent in the next 12 months — “down significantly” from a year ago when 44% planned to do so – advisory firm Ernst & Young says today in its latest Capital Confidence Barometer. Even worse, 21% now say that they plan to “reduce workforce numbers,” up from 13% last year. That might make sense if they were pessimistic about the economy. But the survey shows just the opposite: 64% say the global economy is improving, up from 59% last year. What’s more, they’re confident about their ability to secure credit (52% vs 36% last year) and the short term stability of the market (43% vs 39%) — and there’s virtually no change in their optimism about corporate earnings (57% vs 58%) and equity valuations (50% vs 49%). So what will media chiefs do with their cash?...
