I did not realize Dom had been recast, I thought that was still Brian Dennehy and that he had simply filmed a lot of footage before his death. I figured he was thinner and balder cause, you know...but no, a review I read for the show pointed out that was actually Ron Raines as the new Dom. Old school soap opera fans may remember him in his younger days as the villainous patriarch Alan Spaulding from "Guiding Light". So I guess the plan is to keep Dom on the show via recast, but to eventually write out Glen.

I loved the swerve with Roanoke. Pretty much all I can say positive about this ep. The requisite "Red tale" where he gives a long drawn out story at some point, was sadly for a change a huge wtf moment ("I want that cat!"). And Liz turning to the dark side. Again. Sigh. Lets talk about that a moment.

First of all, WHERE IS AGNES? Are we just supposed to assume Scotty has her? Liz didn't mention her once. Second, common sense (her secondary mortal enemy besides Red apparently) would tell her BOTH "parents" are playing her. But, no, any reason to go against Red. Third, ahole that she is, played with Donald's feelings for her.

I just can't with her anymore. Are we supposed to be rooting for her, or against her at this point? I honestly can't tell what the writers are trying to do. Its like they want us to hate Red, but, they're making Liz come off so much worse in comparison.

I notice the task force is all exorcised about Red knowing a Russian intelligence agent. Suddenly they're concerned about his contacts? He is valuable precisely because he knows the worst of the worst through his criminal world dealings.

Besides, they had no problems at all with Keen playing house with a legendary Russian spy, her mom, even as Keen worked with her mom and against the task force. That was fine because

Well, that's her mother! Naturally, she wants to help her mom with her murderous, anti-American operations. It gives them a chance to bond. There is nothing traitorous about bonding with your mother, no matter who she is. And we can't fault Keen for being an accessory to her mother's murders. After all, her mother's job as a criminal, spy and foreign operative seeking to take down the US government includes committing murders. So this amounts to something like "take your daughter to work day", something Keen missed out on as a child.

Besides, Keen said she is sorry she disappointed us, and I believe her. Whereas Reddington is a filthy no-good criminal who knows lots of bad, bad, people. Yes, he has helped us avert national disasters on multiple occasions, but I don't like him. He refused to reveal his favorite color. And I don't trust someone who won't tell me every secret he has. Besides, he is rich and I am envious.
