In the last episode of the Blacklist, fans were treated to a grand 'twist-ception'. If you'll look at the events as they are, you will come up with a certain conclusion and theory. And then there comes another plot twist, and then another, leaving you shocked with each sequences. No need to discuss the last episode further to avoid unnecessary The Blacklist Season 2 spoiler. To know more about this, go watch the first two episodes. Try to catch up because according to Raymond Reddington himself, there will be more shocking twists that will stun viewers.
Jame Spader sat down for an interview with Digital Spy, not for more small the Blacklist Season 2 spoilers but to discuss the long-term plan of the show's writers. Obviously, the season is still young and there are a lot of questions that needs to be answered. Like: what is on the mind of Reddington? Why did he come back? Why is he protecting Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone)? Where is her husband? These questions will be answered one by one and according to Spader, there's a long game in mind for the writers that will keep the audience guessing.
"There obviously is a long game in mind - and a short game in mind - but the connective tissue between the short game and the long game... that has to have some elasticity about it.
"That's something we wrestle with - how much do you tell, and at what time do you tell those things?"
Spader even compared plotting of a TV series and its characters to peeling of an onion.
"Such things on a television series have to be fluid and flexible," he said. "On this show, it's very easy to paint ourselves into a corner and then we have to find a way to... get the hell out. Not knowing how long the series will be on the air... you ultimately can't know the shape and size of your onion, and how many layers you have to peel, and how slowly you have to peel them!
"It would be a shame to get the centre of the onion two years too early... or a year too late! You definitely have to be flexible."
