+ I quite enjoyed all the courtroom scenes. I really liked Judge Wilkins. She seemed genuinely very fair and serious about following the law. I do wonder between the incompetent/rushing public defender and ADA Sime's vehemence at putting Red away and if there is maybe something more going on but probably not.
+ "Objection. He's arguing with the man and frankly, being incredibly self-righteous." Hee.
+ Harold was great. I was not at all surprised that he ignored his superiors and told the judge about the immunity agreement but I was both surprised and not surprised that he lied under oath to protect Red and the Task Force.
+ I really hope Harold's Red-esque use of language and the definition of honesty/lying aka "I have no direct knowledge of" is enough to keep him out of trouble if this all (inevitably) blows up in his face but I fear not. He absolutely lied.
+ Couldn't Harold simply say that he gave Red the gun or did allow Red weapons? I mean he already lied under oath and it's not that big a stretch. The judge seemed to just assume that they wouldn't let Red have a weapon... or was it in the immunity agreement? He could easily say that after five years he's grown to trust Red to do what he's supposed to.
+ I don't really believe that they would put Raymond Reddington into gen pop at the prison. I mean, really? That doesn't make sense to me.
+ I empathise with Samar's issues this episode so hard.
+ I loved the split second smile Red gets when Harold tells him that Liz turned down his offer to disband the Task Force. Also I love that Harold chose to tell Red that. There was no reason for it, except that he knew that it would make Red happy and he wanted to give Red some news that made him happy.
+ I liked that last little glimpse of Red and Liz talking. I loved how it was shot. Liz standing on the other side of the bars, so close that her face is almost touching them, looking down on Red with this very serious expression, still and unmoving, while on Red's part he's got more space around him and is moving around, and in general feels more open and and trusting. It felt very evocative to me.
+ Oh, intrigue. What could Red need Dr. Stark to be doing? I hope this isn't a situation where Red is sick. I feel like that's far too easy an answer. But if not him that doesn't leave many options.
+ I just realised - Red in jail means no more Red in suits. He's going to have to wear a prison jumpsuit. They're orange. This is going to be so sartorially wrong.
