This is an awful idea for an episode for at least two reasons: the case turns out to be complicated but ultimately dull, and it’s only a vehicle to get to a place we know we’re already headed: House back in power.
If he saves Barton’s life, House reasons, Patient will re-fund the diagnostics department at PPTH, and we can finally get the Team back. It’s not a hugely interesting case (a major flaw in a show that relies on titillating cases to keep its procedural mojo flowing), and House takes it mostly because Barton is rich. His daughter, who is within an arm’s reach, seems many yards away. Disgruntled employees have vandalized his yard–a stuffed version of Barton hangs in effigy from one of his lovely trees-but when his daughter stops by, he shows his first symptom: binocular vision. But it’s difficult not to see her as just another Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) or 13 (Olivia Wilde, whom you can see, if you are supremely bored, in the middling film In Time she plays Justin Timberlake’s mother, which I would explain if it wouldn’t put you to sleep by the end of this sentence).Ī quicker-than-usual recap for a worse-than-usual episode: Patient this week is Thad Barton, a CEO who is about to fire a bunch of Americans by moving his operations to China.
Adams ( Odette Annable) is better-she works well as the pretty foil that House always wants and needs. But whether it’s her ridiculous haircut or-sorry to be House-like-her weird, lisp-ish voice, she is starting to grate. Here’s the problem: Park was a cute addition to the first few episodes, and Charlyne Yi seems to be growing as an actress. More grumbling ahead, but first a SPOILER ALERT: If you missed “Risky Business,” I’ll stop you with my cane if you try to read on. Whatever the case, the episode proved that, as fantastic an actor as Hugh Laurie is, he alone cannot carry the show. Or that the writers were dulled by Vicodin. since it first aired in 2004, and I can safely say that last night’s “Risky Business” was a steaming pile of place holding. Here is a gallery of Boone as Liz Keen through her eight seasons on The Blacklist.Follow been watching House M.D.
Despite losing some ratings steam as it was moved around the NBC schedule, The Blacklist has remains a solid performer, and through its off-network deal with Netflix, the show has reached a global audience.

The character-driven procedural was an instant, massive hit, turning Boone into a TV star overnight. (Boone was actually cast first, with NBC going down to the wire on the role of Red, ultimately getting Spader for it.)
WATCH THE OFFICE SEASON 8 EPISODE 4 SERIES
The young actress had done one show as a series regular, NBC’s short-lived Law & Order: LA, when she was cast as the female lead opposite three-time Emmy winner Spader in the pilot. The Blacklist was a career-defining moment for Boone. Boone returned in the April 23 episode as Liz emerged from hiding. The series will now finally explain why Red entered Liz’s life eight years ago.Īs part of the Liz-as-a-fugitive storyline (and in part due to personal reasons), Boone did not appear in eight episodes this season, raising questions about her future on the show. In a recent interview with TVInsider, The Blacklist creator Jon Bokenkamp teased that in “Nachalo,” “we’re going to go back to the very beginning and unpack answers to eight years worth of questions.” In the dramatic NBC promo, Spader’s Red says, “There is only you, me and the truth,” and Boone’s Liz is heard asking, “Tell me, who are you?” (which has been one of The Blacklist‘s biggest mysteries, especially after the bombshell several seasons ago that he is not the real Red Reddington.) At the end of the most recent episode, Red revealed to Liz that he’s N-13, the elusive spy she’s been hunting for. 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. The decision about Boone’s exit was made early on, well ahead of The Blacklist‘s Season 9 renewal in January.
