rom Day One, "The Black-
list" has left us with a string
of questions. The mystery
and intrigue are what have
fueled the show for three success-
ful seasons — that and James
Spader's ("Boston Legal") slick,
witty banter — and season 4 is
proving to be every bit as binge-
worthy as the rest. Even better, this
season may actually provide some
answers to long-awaited ques-
tions — albeit answers that will no
doubt, and true to form, lead to
more questions. A new episode of
"The Blacklist" airs Thursday, Nov.
10, on NBC.
"The Blacklist" isn't your aver-
age police procedural. The series
opens with the surrender of Ray-
mond "Red" Reddington (Spader),
a former U.S. Naval Intelligence of-
ficer and high-profile criminal
who's been MIA for 20 years and
boasts a spot on the FBI's 10 Most
Wanted list. He gives himself up to
FBI Assistant Director Harold Coo-
per (Harry Lennix, "Man of Steel,"
2013) with the offer of his knowl-
edge of, and assistance appre-
hending, some of the world's most
dangerous criminals. In exchange,
he demands immunity from prose-
cution, but has one odd condition:
that he work exclusively with
Agent Elizabeth Keen (Megan
Boone, "My Bloody Valentine,"
2009), a rookie profiler recently as-
signed to Cooper.
From then on, viewers — not to
mention Elizabeth and her col-
leagues — were left to wonder
and speculate on what Red's con-
nection to Liz may be, since he sure
as heck isn't telling us. As the series
has progressed, we've gradually
pieced together bits of Red's and
Liz's lives and his particular interest
in her, but we're far from having
the whole story. In fact, every detail
we get just adds to the mystery of
the connection between the two
characters.
"I think for 'The Blacklist' to
continue, every answer that you
provide the audience with — and
also certain characters on the
show — every answer has to pose
two more questions," Spader said
during a "Today" interview. "Oth-
erwise the paradigm for the show
sort of fractures ... the engine of
the show is a sort of enigmatic
character. As you chip away at the
enigma, if you chip away too
much, your show has ended."
So it sounds like, according to
Spader, we won't have Red fully
unraveled until the end of the se-
ries. That doesn't stop viewers from
working under assumptions, how-
ever, and a number of theories are
in constant circulation as to why
Red is so invested in Liz. The most
common of these is that he's her
