Ah! The Formulaic TV Writing Machine.
Yes, it seems The Formula will be here forever.
At least on broadcast network TV.
I should have seen everything that was coming. My lame excuse is that I watched this very early this morning and my brain wasn’t engaged. By the end of it, I was kicking myself for being so damned unconscious.

Ryan Eggold stole the episode.
And the problem with being on Twitter is that now when I see a scene like this …
… I hear in my mind the shrill crybaby mewlings of The Aggrieved, “Ew! Ew! Ew! Look at how they’re propagating heteronormative nuclear-family racially-exclusive gender-specific values!”
I’ve been on Twitter too fucking long around the wrong fucking people.
And the writers of The Blacklist need to dump the goddammed Formula.
