"I think you're compassionate. You believe he's your father. When push comes to shove, your impulse will be to save him."
Project Intro:
Well, things have not gone to plan. I gave myself a project for the 2016-2017 TV season. I was going to tweet every episode of my five favorite dramas and then gather those tweets into post form, sprinkling in more commentary here and there. The only one I managed to finish was The Walking Dead S7E8, which took weeks, as is the usual for me when I get hung up on one amazing episode. So, the whole summer passed me by and I had nothing to show for it. But I'm not giving up on this project. I'm just turning it in past due, and making sure I don't have a two-season pile up by next May. Good luck to me.
This is one of those episodes that I tweeted a good amount, but then I didn't do much commenting afterwards to expand on those thoughts. I'm not sure why. Time must have gotten away from me. I'll try to expand on this in the future if I get to that rewatch I've been longing to do.
How about sincerely manipulative? Manipulatively sincere? Can that be a thing?
Which isn't a very helpful thing for me to say, I know. Probably best not to come to me for advice.

I guess I was so excited about the possibilities being opened back up that I couldn't spell "weren't."
Even when I don't like someone, it gets to me every time. The best example of that I think will always be Ben Linus digging his own grave on Lost. It was then that I realized that Michael Emerson was a superb actor, when he made my heart break for a villain. Now I'd definitely like to see more of Kirk, because Ulrich Thomsen killed this scene.

When I turned myself in, I never imagined things could've turned out this badly... I knew it'd be hard, but I never expected that it would get harder with every day... Now all I see is the resentment in her eyes.

Normally, I have some things to say about the episode, or at least the start of it, before I get to the tweets. Something amusing or profound the episode revealed about Red or Liz or life. I'm not saying this episode didn't have that. I just ran out of time to do anything more than bring you these tweets. I promise to have more for you when I rewatch this one in the future.
Well, it's more likely than not in most cases, and Liz is desperate to know her past. Stop dancing around the issue and tell her the truth, Red. And us. It would be nice for the audience to know...but I'm not rushing you. Take your time. Take all the time in the world, hon, like you already have. As I've said many times before, I love the tease and all the moments that hint but never come out and say exactly. I'm looking at it from Red's perspective, and he just can't get himself to reveal the truth. I love that about him, because it hurts him too much. He's trying to save Liz from that pain and he doesn't want to lose her.

"Reddington didn't just have an affair with my mother. She was assigned to him, to be in his life...the way you were assigned to be in mine."

I am perpetually behind (obviously) and don't want to be spoiled. But I also don't want to turn notifications off and only remember to turn them back on later when I start wondering why no one is responding to, liking, or retweeting anything I've said.
