Blacklist Season 5 Premiere spoiler

Spoilers will be discussed so you've been warned...
WTF was with that flash foward??? I'm usually not one to panic, but, Tom really has grown on me and I really enjoyed him in the [sadly short-lived] spinoff. It would be weird to go from headlining a spinoff to getting killed by the lead of the parent show! I HOPE it was a fakeout, I really do.
Moving on...this is the best the writers can do with Ressler? Blackmailed again? I like the character (not as much as Tom but still) but if they can't think of anything better maybe its time to retire the character. And by retire I don't mean killed off. Ironically his friend from last season would have been a great successor.
Beyond that, so Red is slowing rebuilding his empire, and the two new cohorts at the end will be a part of that. Interesting. And Liz the FBI agent working alongside her criminal father may have bought the show a few more seasons. I'm more interested in seeing that than mysterious underworld guy somehow connected to FBI agent but won't reveal how.
"What's with the bones in the suitcase" = OMG I do not care. I'm not sure the show needs an overarching story like that EVERY season, but...whatever. Just, again, worried about Tom.

I did not understand the FlashForward at all (Boy, I miss that show.) I'm just going to forget about it because they want to mess with our minds and I will have none of it.
Ressler...I thought the same thing. But, we just saw last week that Red apparently knows about it and offered to help. Although Ressler has to show off his tough guy image and immediately reject it, you know part of the weight was lifted off his shoulders because if worse comes to worse, he has an out. No doubt he'll use it eventually.
The bones...no idea what that's all about. I hope that storyline isn't arced through the whole season. Get done with it. I'm half expecting Mr. Kaplan to show up. She survived death once...why not again?
I was kind of bummed Red had to leave the motor lodge. I was kind of getting to like that place.
Can I say again Dembe is the best character on this show? I love that guy.

I just read in a headline they killed off a "fan favorite" last night. Thank goodness it didn't say who because I haven't seen it yet. I have no idea who it can be but my mind is racing like crazy. I think I actually have smoke coming out of my ears. When I get home in an hour I'm watching it, and then I'll know what you mean.

I hope it's Tom. I don't like him. Never did. I'll be very sad if it's Aram. He's so geeky/naïve, but so sweet and I enjoy seeing him do or say something and getting to laugh at him. Not a mean laughing, just laughing because he's funny. Ressler? Meh. No real feelings about him.

Looks like I was right. Good riddance.

When I read it was a "fan favorite," I was nervous it would be Aram. As much as I liked Tom, I'm glad it wasn't Aram. I was hoping it would be Ressler, but nobody likes him, so he's not considered a favorite.
I'm actually not sure I'm going to continue watching next year.
