The *Blacklist* Final tonight...(*Spoiler Warning!*)

[First Speaker]

...wow. I gotta admit--I was thrown for a loop. Red Reddington's skeleton was in the duffel bag all along? This guy we've seen these past five years is an impostor? I'm usually pretty good at seeing the curves coming...but not this time. I thought we'd maybe see Tom resurrected--for real, and not in Liz's imagination. Well, Liz is now "Red's" enemy--for good reason. Let's hope she has better success against "Red" than Mr Kaplan had... (Yes, I know this revelation might be bogus. But assuming it's true--it makes next year very intriguing...)

1. Yeah, That Was Pretty Good

But this guy who calls himself Raymond Reddington must have assumed that identity decades ago. He rescued Dembe as a child and the loyal bodyguard probably won't switch his allegiance so easily. Maybe this current guy is the one who saved Dembe from the real Reddington?

[First Speaker]

2. That's probably true...but it poses the question:

...what was the real Reddington like? If the impostor saved Dembe from the real guy, was Reddington really a villain? And just who *is* this guy, anyway? I get the feeling that we should be able to figure it out, that the clues are there if we can see them...
