The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 10 will be titled “The Postman,” and the task force will be looking deep into the Postman.
But I had so much fun with The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 9. I hope a lot of other people out there feel like it really justified kind of the slow build that we’ve been on for a little while. This episode was so good. It was a 10 out of 10. I am really sad to lose Wujing. I’m gonna miss them on the show, but wow, what an end to it all.
I was right about calling this second task force thing. But here’s the funniest thing about it is that sometimes in some of these articles, I just say things because they’re ridiculous. And I was just thinking at the time, what would be the craziest thing that Reddington could be building? The idea of him building another task force just seems so insane and insane enough that it might work.
But the despite all of this happening and it actually being cannon for the show, there is still this part of me that it’s just like, how in the world did you do this? It seems like it takes the Property Brothers just as much time to like to renovate one house. You build a toll freaking task force.
The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 10 Preview
Now that Reddington kind of cut himself off from the task force, I’m hopeful that we will get a lot more of what I said and that it will be more kind of Reddington-focused on his background. “The man in the hat”, who is he?
I would love it if there were some answers coming on this in the immediate future. I mean, the reality with this show is that we have seen this play out multiple times where we get a big story arc, that story arc ends, and then there’s like a few episodes where they’re just sort of twiddling their thumbs, they’re buying their time, and they’re setting the table. I know this is the final season, so they could accelerate things a little bit.
I think just the best-case scenario to me in The Postman is just at the end of this episode. We at least get a better sense as to whether is there another big bad that Reddington is fighting. Is he deploying a, you know, a bearded Reddington that we talked about from the first episode that they’re doing some stuff? Is that a threat? Like what is the next big target, I think we at least need a nugget of that.
Revealing The #2
I think there are a couple of different directions that could go. Yes, we’ve talked about the bearded Reddington, and how Aram saw him in the first episode and was like, “Hey, Mr. Reddington,” and he looked at him like “Who are you and I don’t know you.” And I don’t know if it was Reddington kind of just pretending to not know him so that he could continue on with what he was doing. Or this is a person who just really didn’t know him, and there’s there is this bigger mystery that’s going to unravel: Who Reddington really is?
Or if we’re going to be setting up for something that we’ve talked about before; Could there be a spin-off coming up of #2? Who’s number 2 on the list, and that is still out there? We’re in the final season, so who is number two? Could it be somebody that’s so connected to Reddington, a real sort of big person that could end up actually being with everybody in the task force in the post office, working with them going forward?
I think it’s all going to come down to when you guys decide. I’m saying you guys as though you Blacklist writers are reading they haven’t written the rest of the season already. But wouldn’t you guys decide when to bring #2 into the fold? Because I do think we’re going to see #2 at some point. Like they know that’s the last big number mystery that they have out there. You know the most convenient, just like, “OK, guys, this Reddington is #2 and he’s #2 in his own Blacklist.”
It’s just like you guys could go there, but that’s not as much fun to me. Like, I don’t want it to be like that. It’s his list; why would he put himself on his own list? Maybe he’s his own worst enemy, or if he’s not the real Raymond Reddington, then the real Raymond Reddington, should he be alive, would be a threat to him. Because he could be somebody who could expose him as an impostor. Now I want to talk a bit about Episode 9.
Ressler’s Line
They did a really good job in episode 9 explaining when and how far back this has been going on. Like he’s been building this second post office for a while now. I mean, he really had a deep, deep plan on this. And while I guessed that there was a second post office, I did not guess sort of the way that it was going through.
I mean, at the first like 10 minutes, we sort of had the whole setup of what the task force thought was going on. And I mean, like it felt kind of obvious after they brought the Troll Farmer out of Panabaker’s office. Ressler turned to Dembe, and he was like, “Are we really doing this?”
I kind of wish that they had left that line out for the people who maybe didn’t hear my theory. It gave away a little bit too much. If they had just taken that line, I think there would have been even more people that had that huge surprise of what is going on. Because unfortunately, they’ve made the Task Force a little bit bumbling throughout a couple of the seasons now.
So the idea is that the Troll Farmer would get this paper clip and that he would leave the file just so that he would get this paper clip. It’s all kind of like that could actually happen. I mean, there was a little obvious, but they’ve done some things where I’m like, “Really guys, come on”.
Reddington And Troll Farmer
I hate to say it, but I wouldn’t have questioned it all that much because they’ve set up Bo Chang to be a Blacklister. And so, with that in mind, he’s gotta be a capable enough criminal to know how to escape some sort of facility. I could have bought all of that, mostly because the task force is kind of dumb.
The thing that really struck me sort of watching all of this is just how many ways it could have gone wrong, and Reddington is not always the sort that’s going to put a lot of its trust in other people. But I think the biggest part of this that could be easily overlooked is that he turned the Troll Farmer over to the task force and season 3, and he went to prison for years. There was not any sort of incentive that he had to ultimately work with Reddington again, other than just that he got a full, healthy dose of the Spader charm, but there was no guarantee.
I would have really liked to have seen that conversation. Like we saw a little bit of that flashback where Reddington was sitting with him, and he was kind of like, “Oh man, I can’t even believe that I’m here, that you even wanna work with me after I went to jail, and clearly I didn’t do a very good job”. And Reddington is kind of like, “Well, we will talk about that and forgive and forget”. I would have loved to have seen how he explained that to him in a way where he accepted it.
