Tom is back
Tom Keen (The Blacklist) a matter a fact. He’s a character you love or you don’t. If you don’t, you dreaded this week’s episode. If you love, then you couldn’t wait. I belong to this group. The promos showed 2 weeks ago, he would be back. Sometimes I just hate teasers. Today the wait was over.
Some think Tom is not interesting enough but I have to disagree. It’s just getting more interesting. I guess most people only want to concentrate on the Liz/Red story. But I’m not most people. The Blacklist needs other stories too or it gets boring. Besides a lot of people like him. He might have hurt Liz’s feelings and killed an innocent man. But still people like the character. He’s still too soft though. Hello, calling the woman he hurt and being nice. No, no Tom, stop with the Liz fangirling. I really hope Liz won’t get a moment of stupidity by going back to him. He might still have feelings for her but it should not become mutual. Going undercover in Germany doesn’t make him tough enough. Dedicated, yes but not tough. And fighting like a girl (not my words) doesn’t help either. Referring to the latest episode T. Earl King VI
Why do people get upset if the German language wasn’t convincing? In Charlie’s Angels they spoke Finnish. Or tried to. But we just find it funny. German is not an easy language for a non-speaker to learn. I think Ryan (and the other actors in the bar scene) did a great job. At least it convinced me.
The Blacklist really brings more questions than answers. There are things that really bothers me even if it was many episodes ago. I still don’t understand in what way Tom saved her by killing the harbour master. It just got her more into trouble. How is that saving? And why did he “warn” her about Red. He would never hurt her or get her into unnecessary trouble. Unlike Tom “not bad enough” Keen. Sometimes I do dislike him. Not hate. He’s the reason I watch this (and Ryan of course)
Will be interesting to see where Tom’s new mission leads to. Won’t easy the look of it. The next episode feels like forever.
It’s so easy to judge others
The first impression is important, they say. I make a very bad first impression. When I meet new people the first time, I’m definitely not showing the real me. For others it might seem I’m like that all the time. Quiet and reserved. I’m like a box of chocolate, you never know what you get when you meet me the 2nd time. I’m like most Finns, I hate small talk. I think that’s the reason I don’t get friends easily. Or jobs. It’s so easy to judge someone you don’t know. The first impression thing somehow annoy me. When I was an intern in a local newspaper for two weeks (which is laughable) they said I wasn’t extroverted enough for the job. You don’t get to know me in two week’s so how would they know. I can be extroverted if there’s a good reason to be.
When I started in Helsinki Design School I didn’t make a good first impression. Now that many fellow students talk to me. Unless it’s group work. Even then I’m the one who has to say something. I don’t know if it was the first impression that had anything to do with it. Maybe it’s a Finnish thing. People only talk to you if they know you. If we met more often, they would probably be more open. Soon the school is over so I don’t feel I have a need to get to know them better anyway. We also live in a different city.
Internet is a place where all the judgemental people meet. It’s so easy to judge others behind their screen names. They would never dare to say them out loud in real life. Online you can write anything you want. Bash celebs with all your heart’s content. Forums are the worst. Forums like on IMDB. Especially in The Blacklist forum. Day and night these small brained people bash Megan Boone. I don’t know if the forum is made for Boone haters or The Blacklist fans. Even the so-called fans of the show bash it. I don’t know any other place where they write negative things. I don’t bother posting there. Why would I waste my time on people with small brains cells anyway? I hope Megan won’t ever see it. I don’t even understand how these haters think she’s a bad actress. I don’t think they even know the difference between a good or a bad one. Maybe their just jealous because they are not as talented as she is. They probably judge others in real life too. Hater usually have personal issues and have the need to be negative all the time.
Then there’s judging someone by their age. Some employers think someone in their 50’s are too tired to work. Or teenagers are not experienced enough. How would they get experience when no one offers them jobs? Employers look too deep into age. They see an applicant that has all the qualities for the job but then their see their age. “Oops, sorry can’t have that. Let get someone younger who’s crap at what they do” I have no experience of age discrimination. Not yet but that can happened one day.
In my world
