Their tumultuous relationship will come to a head in the final two episodes of Season 8, aptly titled “Nachalo” and “Konets,” Russian for “Beginning” (Начало) and “End” (Конец). After watching Raymond “Red” Reddington (Spader) kill her mother, Katarina, Liz turned the tables on her former mentor who now became her target. Season 8 has completed Liz’s transformation from a wide-eyed rookie FBI agent to a criminal on the run who has embraced her dark side. With Boone’s departure, Spader, Diego Klattenhoff and Harry Lennix remain the only original cast members on the show. Reps for NBC and Sony Pictures TV, which produces The Blacklist with Universal TV, had no comment. I hear the decision was mutual, and Boone already is plotting her next move. That allowed the writers to craft the arc for her character, Elizabeth “Liz”” Keen, this season as her final chapter. At least it opens up an exciting new realm of possibility for the show.The decision about Boone’s exit was made early on, well ahead of The Blacklist‘s Season 9 renewal in January. Will it exclusively be about Red and Liz on the run, and what will the actual Blacklist be made up of, people that are useful to our hero fugitives, or people that are a threat to them? And while the world knows about the Cabal now, their power seems no where close to being diminished, so what path can Liz take to try and clear her name? One thing’s for certain, the fallout of the release of the Fulcrum is far more interesting than the search was. The more important question is what direction the show itself will go in next. Will the audience willingly follow the weekly adventures of a more somber Red?

James Spader may have spent his summer vacation plaguing the Avengers, but back on TV playing Red he was oddly sedate, only occasionally showing signs of his old gregariousness when he compliments a housekeeper’s hair before asking her politely to go to the bathroom to be detained.

The interesting thing about the new Blacklist status quo remains the idea that for once that Red is behind the eight ball. Maybe he can team up with Red and Liz in someway since they’re going no where fast. Hopefully there’s something cool and interesting in mind for Cooper.

I always liked Cooper, and maybe that likability came from the persona of actor Harry Lennix, but it would be a shame if Cooper faded into the background as only an occasionally useful utility player. The only one left out of the game now is Harold Cooper, cleared of any wrongdoing in terms of collaborating with Liz, but still on the outside now having also secured the release of his wife. Solomon? I was definitely reminded of Ejiofor’s character from Serenity, an assured man of commitment that openly admits that he’s a a monster protecting other monsters, even with the caveat of being willing to hurt or kill children to achieve his objective. Anyone else get a Chiwetel Ejiofor vibe from Gathegi’s performance as Mr. Dembe’s never-before-seen baby grandson is infected with some kind of virus that will kill him in three weeks unless Dembe successfully helps Mr.

Poor Dembe, Hisham Tawfiq gets promoted to series regular and he’s automatically painted into a corner tight enough that he may have to turn on Red.
