Anna McMahon (No. 60)

For the past few years, on Friday nights, we rewatched all of The Blacklist episodes to relive this great show. This is Part 1 of a rewatch episode that we really loved (others to come).

This is a quick-cut edited episode with great camera angles and slow-motion pull-aways. It's fun and fast-paced. Sure there's some flaws, but after suffering through Billions seasons 3 - 7, this is so wonderful to relive.

Loved the White House scene with the phone tap as Harold is about to talk to the President and scenes that pay an homage to The Manchurian Candidate.

Some great quotes: Red: "A deep fried pocket of Heaven for your thoughts."

Aram: "I sort of got distracted by the president-is-the-part-of-the-conspiracy-thing." Funny.

And, at the end, it has a great cliffhanger. This is just great fun.

Wow .. just wow, truly amazing and frightening, blacklist is getting betre and better every season, this season was the most compelling, the filler are less and less and the story is about to get crazy, Cant say that Imsad we have yet another season to look for. its been too long

This episode had non-stop action, intrigue, bad guys, good guys, technology, a cool dossier, Red stopping for lunch, arrests, on and on. Of course we can criticize this for its writing. But lets look at it. First of all, there is no such person like Red in reality. He's impossible. And yet viewers are into their sixth season. There are controls in the White House. Yet the President is constantly interrupted. Did anyone ever look into McMahon before she gained so much power? Oh, by the way, those Superman fans out there. Did you know that people can't fly. I watched every episode of "24" and loved it. Could all those things happen in 24 hours. No! But that's what the show is about. And, yes, I'm also from Minnesota and the Metrodome is gone. Is that the only criticism you have of this show? Enjoy the craziness of this show, or find something else to do with your time!

I must say, I was worried that the season finale would fall flat after having the thematic conclusion in Rassvet, leaving only the storyline about the undefined, unspecified, vague conspiracy against the States. I would have loved if that had been a little more fleshed out, but the way they executed this episode and the next more than made up for this.

Of course it was not without flaws, but it serves the story and allows for a great amount of action that keeps your focus. Anna McMahon is awful; I hated her from the moment she was introduced. Its great when villains have this, and you just can't wait for their stories to play out and watch them get what they deserve. In these series, I just love to hate the antagonists!

Is there ANYONE in this series going to answer their phone when FBI is calling to warn them about imminent danger?! In the around a dozen cases that have been so far, I can remember only one that actually picked up the phone when they got the call. This kind of writing is unrealistic and annoying.
