This episode has the required to be a great ending for the season. Some may argue it's about time that the big secret will be revealed - who is Red to Liz, is her mother alive and where and I agree that this is dragged too long for no reasonable reason. I can only say I'm glad that this is no end of The Blacklist, and looking forward to the next season which I hope will be better as there is much that can and should be done to make it more like the first few seasons.

I feel that this episode was made just for the sake of having one more episode.

Everything could ve been in the penultimate episode.

I m waiting for season 9 Just to know how can the show continue ?

If Keen for example disappeared but still there we always can think of the question Who is Red but now who cares.

We as audience were asking g for Keen disappearance but with answers and then return to the real format of a criminal against criminals Ok let us hope for something better as Spader is still great.

Since I have read so much SciFi, Robert Heinlein, I remain in the camp that Red is Liz's Mother. After watching the episode, all I can write is to paraphrase "the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray." (Steinbeck)

The acting by James Spder was so perfect. I really felt his tiredness of life and his hopes for the future. His last line of the episode were delivered so perfectly, which he repeated on screen, it was heartbreaking. Watch this show with an eye on Spader and hopefully you will see an actor artfully convey emotion, angst and a person that is at peace with his final moments.

I have been tracking imdb comments this entire season...

I liked Megan, I love James.

I don't know if the writers really listened to the 'fans' - (read: the internet critics), but if anything they knew that:

• Continue without James Spader wasn't an option
• Continue without Megan Boone was going to piss a group off
• Continue with Megan Boone was going to piss a group off

In the end, I wish more people appreciated the show purely for being as amazing as it is and from now on I would kindly ask the writers to write the story they want to write and never, EVER, let a name, a comment or a 'fan' swing the story in their favor.

Finally, she gone for good. A whole Blacklist season without her is coming. 10/10.
