'The Blacklist' Season 8 Episode 1: Does Red deserve blame for Liz's actions? Fans say 'he destroyed her'
'The Blacklist' returned with a bang. Liz (Megan Boone) turned rather dark as she chose to believe her so-called mother Katarina over Red (James Spader). Liz is desperate to know the truth about her life and that's at any cost. So, she helps Katarina abduct Dom (Ron Raines) because she thinks that Kat is the only one who can get him to talk. For some reason, she doesn't think that she is going to torture him.
Fans are rather upset with Liz turning out like this and in the midst of all hate, many believe that Red is the one who is responsible for Liz's current state of mind, as he never told her anything before. Others say that Red has saved Liz numerous times, so she has no right to treat him like this. There's a full debate brewing on 'The Blacklist' fan discussion forums and we have got to say, it's almost as fun as the show.
"A lot of y’all love hating on Liz for betraying Reddington when he destroyed her entire f**king life and ain’t gave her nary an answer as to why after she’s given him every chance. Yeah, I know Katerina probably manipulating her, but still. #TheBlacklist," a fan wrote. In fact, even Cooper holds Red responsible for Liz's behavior. "Hate seeing Red and Cooper fall out bc of Liz’s action. Was a hard scene to watch. #TheBlacklist," a fan wrote.
"Right I'm done, I'm going to slink off and sulk, because Liz made Red sad. I'll get my revenge in my dreams. Nos da peeps. See you later....much later. #TheBlacklist," another tweeted. A supporter of Red chimed in: "Me on my way to stick up for Red when everyone is blaming him for Liz being a dummy #TheBlacklist." "So wait, Cooper is mad at Red for what’s happened to Liz? How about her being an idiot the whole time? #TheBlacklist," a fan tweeted. "Red didn’t turn Liz into what she’s become. She’s the new Tom #TheBlacklist," another fan reasoned.
