iariaThe Lindquist Concern (#105)
+ Honestly the confirmation I got out of this episode is that Kirk is not Liz's father. I thought he was but between Red putting forth the idea that Kirk isn't her father (which - is the first time he's said that straight out, right?) and the DNA results confirming it I now think he can't be. This does leave a couple questions: 1) If the DNA test isn't true than does Kirk know that? Has he been fooled into thinking Liz is his daughter (and thus salvation) as well or is this some game he's playing against Red? 2) Red has called Kirk 'Constantin' and seems to accept that Kirk is Constantin. They know each other well and with deep enmity. So this means that Constantin was married to Katarina and she had an affair with Liz's father? I still don't think Red is Liz's father.
+ Wow, Red was stroppy with Liz. After their little moment last episode I thought maybe they were on the road to recovery but nope. In fact I think it just made things worse. I can't believe that he hung up on her warning of a trap and ignored it!
+ Honestly while I love Red I can't feel too bad for him over his current relationship woes with Liz (even as I get annoyed with her) because he is the cause of them! He has been keeping things from her since the beginning, important things, and still is. I can see why he wouldn't want her to know about killing her father or her mother's suicide but I don't know that it's been worth all the grief and distrust it's caused keeping it from her. At this point he needs to just damn well tell her the truth. He should just listen to Dembe about everything.
+ It was nice to get more of Dembe and I really loved that moment between him and Red at the church and Dembe looking for forgiveness because he didn't help Mr. Kaplan.
+ So there's an inside source and my guess is Aram's new girlfriend.
+ Silas end game was good - ie. open sourcing all those inventions - but his methods weren't just terrible because he killed people but also because of how he killed them. He paralyzed them so they were aware as he killed them which was just cruel.
