The Cryptobanker (No. 160)

Unfortunately, the biggest problem with this show at the moment is one of it's main characters and that is never good. The viewer should be rooting for Elizabeth, but she has become so damn annoying (nearly as much so as her 'sister') that it's virtually impossible. The show is still watchable, but I find myself hoping she is in each episode as little as possible. The writers and runners need to take a long hard look at themselves.

Is Elizabeth related to Kate on Lost? She is one of the most annoying, interfering, obnoxious characters on television. She always has to do things her way and this causes way took many problems. Drop her on an island.

After great first couple seasons, things began to loose logic and now my patience is gone, along with the writers common sense. This is definitely the last episode I am watching. I have no words to express my dissapointment.

This is the "escape" episode. Reddington puts together a ridiculous plot to escape prison. He has confessed and pleaded guilty to save the task force. He gets his prison confederates to aid him in a sort of cute, but totally unbelievable escape plan. Of course, Liz comes in and screws the whole thing up. I think the writers are going out of their ways to make us like her even less (if that is possible). We are introduced to the Cryptobanker who is extorting huge amounts of money. He is so dangerous because he takes then kills. He has control over pacemakers that will malfunction if he doesn't get a huge ransom.

We have watched Liz flip flop on Reddington more times than I can count.

But the worst was her pleading and praise in court. "His many acts of conscience".

What baloney! The man kills a dozen people every month. For every bad guy he helps the FBI catch, saving lives, Reddington kills in cold blood a dozen others. And most not by necessity to catch the villain, but to achieve some ulterior notice for his own gain, like selling arms to terrorists.

It's safe to say that one Reddington equals five of the violent criminials he help the FBI capture.

Add to that the fact that he is NOT Liz's father and therefore he's "working over" Liz and taking advantage of her - until recently - under false pretenses.

And even now that she knows he's an imposter, she still aids and abets his criminal career.

Even the FBI team has become railroaded into believing that Reddington can murder dozens of people they themselves never would, in order to catch criminals often not much worse than Reddington himself.

I am most disappointed at reviewers her that ooh and ah about Reddington as he were Robin Hood instead of a selfish violent criminal that helps the FBI 10% and himself 90%.
