I loved the trailer for the upcoming shows. Red. Was. Right. Love James Spader and love this show!

My, my. What an awesome finale. I love me some Red Reddington. I still don't think he is her father. I think he saved her from the fire which is where he got the burns. Berlin is her grandfather who thinks she dead, and Tom is alive. Just my theory. Can't wait till fall.

I think Reddington is her dad, but he's not her father. He said "your father died in that fire." That's because after that night, Red became someone else entirely.

Maybe I'm missing something, but what was up with photo #79? That was the Polaroid Red took from "The Stewmaker," but it was the same photo that was in Berlin's pocket watch. At the time Red took the photo from the album (early in the season) I thought it might have been a picture of his wife, but with it also being Berlin's daughter, that doesn't add up. Do we know the connection any more clearly, or was that just a way to show the audience that they are all connected even if Red is currently unaware?

Also, as much as I enjoy the Blacklist, some of their twists are pretty obvious. I knew Peter Stormare was "Berlin," as soon as we saw him in the hospital bed. You wouldn't hire such a noticeable actor for such a small & insignificant role as "Security Guard #3," but the overall storyline is so interesting that flaws like this can be overlooked.
