I’ve settled upon using slideshows as a preferred form for visual media for this blog for a couple of reasons. First, I tweet a lot. After each show, I tweet screen shots from the show, trying to capture key moments, quotes and major plot points. It’s sort of like a graphic novel or a scrapbook. So I began including a list of these tweets at the end of each annotated script. These naturally included the links to the screenshots resulting in a very klutzy way to recreate the Twitter experience. So I started looking for some more elegant way to do this and discovered YouTube has developed an app for making slideshows out of photos, turning them into you videos. It’s located here:

Q: “Looking back over Season 2, in what ways would you say that the relationship between Liz and Reddington has changed?
James Spader: In terms of that relationship, it has its hills and valleys and I think it has to continue to be that way. It’s a very, very complicated relationship between the two of them. As much as she doesn’t know the true nature of their relationship, I think it’s quite equitable for Reddington as well because I think he’s trying to grasp a hold of what the true nature of their relationship is now. Forget the past, regardless of what that the past represents. What is the nature of their relationship now and what are even the possibilities of a relationship with her. I think he’s enormously conflicted that he’s there. He certainly has a protective instinct but by the same token he does bring an awful lot of crisis and strife to her life. And I think he probably wrestles with that quite a lot.”

For the record, I think Red is straight. I was making a “the case can be made” type of argument.

I have a copy of the original script for The Blacklist pilot (it precedes even the online version which in turn is not identical to the performance). It has more information on Liz’s youth ➔ but it may be more important to know that they did decide to change certain things: it could mean they definitely are NOT going with these ideas. For instance, they apparently decided to change the time of the fire from when she was 14 to when she was four (or else there were two fires). Obviously, the final production is what matters. But, just fyi: about Liz’s youth, it says [stage directions in parentheses]:

🏵 Below are links to Each Individual Script,* including cast list, lyrics and YouTube videos for songs, photos and Twitter links. “Episode in Tweets” includes links to all the photos (with narration) I post on Twitter.
🏵 Or you can select the “Easy Search” option, which includes all scripts for a season, stripped-down for easy searching.
🏵 Finally, the “Storybook” (Seasons 3, 4 and 5) provides recaps of episodes, based on the scripts themselves, with photos. For Seasons 1 and 2, there are “Highlights” with photos along with selected quotes. In addition, there are slideshows with captions of entire episodes and, for Season 1, of special scenes.
*Exception: There are no individual full scripts for Season 1 (with the exception of the Pilot), as I only began watching the show in Season 2. Instead, the links below take you to the right script in the Easy-Scripts file for Season 1.

⭕ Press here for the ➔ Script for the Episode
Explanation: This file contains just the tags for the episode. To get to the script, just press the link above.
I first set up Season One just as a file for personal use before I dreamed of starting a blog. So I put all the scripts in one file, which eventually became the format of the “Easy Search Scripts.” This was in the summer after the first season, when I binged the season.
Unfortunately, it’s not feasible to pull the episodes apart now. In fact, it’s essentially impossible.
So what I did instead was set up the tags separately, linked to the scripts. If you’ve landed here, you likely used the Search Bar, which is very unpredictable. I hope that someday, WordPress will provide a better one.
In the meantime, consider using the “Tag/Phrase Index for Scripts” instead of the Search Bar. You use it with your Page Search function. It’s basic, but I find it works best for me.

Why she’s the ‘chosen one’ and why Red said he’s going to make her famous is because she’s the one who has the ANTIDOTE to the evil plan being hatched by the Alliance in 2017…”
