The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 9 Review: The Troll Farmer Part 3

That was how TV was purported to be!

Raymond’s plan got here into focus when he applied it on The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 9, wiping his foe from the map and any proof of his involvement with the Task Force.

It was anticipated that he had been engaged on a plan to take care of Wujing, however by no means within the wildest of desires might anybody have guessed one thing like that.

Playing two sides off one another like that? That’s so Raymond.

He is all the time a few steps forward of everybody else, and even when you understand he’s forward of you, you possibly can’t inform what he is planning except he allows you to in.

When we met him on The Blacklist Season 10 Episode 1, he was on the lookout for a constructing, and I believed it was a dwelling area, however the dimension was odd.

The first half of the hour appeared ridiculous to a eager viewer.

Never has there been such a deliberate give attention to following the steps, together with doing the identical factor twice. Usually, the perp arrives on the Post Office blindfolded and is marched into the closest interrogation room earlier than they will breathe the battle room’s air.

The subsequent trace was that Ressler left the file on the desk. He has by no means been that careless, realizing Chang might open it and browse the contents.

There was no means Chang wouldn’t be suspicious about how issues simply appeared to be understanding for him. The solely saving grace was studying later that he was in on it.

No cube. He’s nonetheless speaking powerful. Seems like he is aware of one thing that we do not.

Ressler

He will need to have had probably the most enjoyable of all of the characters.

Quite a bit got here as a shock, together with that Raymond had reached out to Chang and recruited him into his crew.

Sometimes a very good dose of humbleness is important, and I used to be a lot humbled by how the occasions unfolded.

I had doubted how lengthy Raymond would hold pulling off the identical trick, however the trick solely wanted to work lengthy sufficient, and work it did.

I used to be skeptical of Raymond’s determination to reduce Wujing, however he wasn’t. He simply did not really think about Wujing a risk value dropping sleep over.

His dying nearly felt anti-climatic, however an excessive amount of great things was taking place; it was not value fascinated about.

You, of all folks, know that what you suppose you see isn’t the total image. I hope you are listening to me, Chang.

Raymond

Ultimately, his hate for Reddington was his undoing as he did not see what was proper earlier than him. It ought to have raised at the least a slight suspicion in his thoughts {that a} man escaped an FBI secret web site with out a lot as a damaged finger.

As a lot as pulling off the plan was exhilarating, the fallout will likely be even greater.

With Wujing lifeless, the main focus shifts onto different points and chief amongst them Raymond.

The Task Force was not simply amazed by Raymond’s actions; they had been flabbergasted. It was surprising how they might be performed off like frequent criminals by a felony.

One might see Cooper and Malik grin ear to ear as they arrange Chang to flee considering they knew the sport, however they had been being performed.

What should damage probably the most was the embarrassment after studying Raymond had performed them. Cooper tried to masks it properly, however everybody else didn’t do an important job.

Despite spending over a decade at Raymond’s facet, Dembe was amazed however not stunned.

Raymond: You know this, Dembe. What wins wars.
Dembe: Anticipation.

The Task Force had appeared over loads throughout their time working collectively all these years. However, after Wujing’s dying, it begs the query, did Raymond cross a line?

The Post Office was the one place that was purported to be secure, and because of Raymond, it could by no means really feel prefer it anymore. Two murders had been dedicated in the midst of the room.

A worthwhile authorities system was stolen and used to destroy confidential paperwork.

For these causes solely, Raymond had accomplished one thing horrible. The nail within the coffin is the betrayal, which the duty drive will not overcome.

These acts triggered a sequence of occasions that gave the Task Force no possibility however to go after Raymond.

This could be the following huge factor.

Raymond is a profession felony, and the FBI had been means over their heads considering he was something however.

With Liz gone, he had no motive to stay to the unique settlement, which the federal government can not show there ever was. Where are the paperwork?

The solely factor that ties Raymond to this world is Agnes.

Like it was a decade in the past, the FBI could have no possibility however to declare Raymond a wished fugitive once more.

Harold: You went too far this time, Raymond.
Raymond: Perhaps.
Harold: Not, maybe. We will not be simply the Reddington Task Force. We are the FBI!

He had develop into unpredictable, and his unpredictability put influential folks within the line of fireplace in case something went mistaken.

And by influential folks, I imply Senator Panabaker. She has the total drive of the US authorities behind her, and it will likely be in her greatest curiosity to protect that.

We’re about to expertise a battle between the Task Force and Raymond.

Harold: You’ve lastly accomplished it. Turned all of it down.
Raymond: You’re indignant, Harold. Take a while to determine if we will proceed. I’ll do the identical.

“The Troll Farmer Part 3” was every thing we cherished about this present. It was wild.

The writing was genius, with double-edged statements used proper entrance and heart. They previewed what was coming.

By this level, we’re all used to James Spader knocking it out of the park as Raymond, however there are specific scenes the place he outdoes himself; it looks like the primary time you noticed him as Raymond. The scene at The Post Office with Sven was one.

The sequence will really feel rejuvenated as we enter the ultimate season’s second act.

What did you consider it?

Will the Task Force comply with hunt Raymond when the FBI calls for it?

Is Raymond going to depart Agnes behind voluntarily?

Have we seen the final of Wujing loyalists? Hit the feedback part and tell us your ideas.

It’s yours to observe The Blacklist on-line any time by way of TV Fanatic.
