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]:

@Belle I had also concluded that Fitch was doing the surveillance. It would make sense that Fitch would be surveillancing Liz because of his interest in Red, but this dialogue threw me off:

– Oh, the one night you’re on time. I was really looking forward to the make-up sex.
– Do you believe he’s innocent?
– It can’t be that simple, right? The only thing that’s clear to me is that he [Tom] doesn’t work for Reddington.[!]
– Well, then, who the hell DOES he work for?

The science of genomics is more advanced (& less predictive) than presented in “Dr. Creel.” Anyone can get a genomic profile of themselves by going to a university medical center. The government makes available info on all researched genomic features & their relationships to phenotypic features (traits, diseases, syndromes). No single researcher can develop tests alone & without access to the existing genomic analytic infrastructure. Very few psychological traits are entirely determined by a single gene & many different genes may by required to predict a trait/condition (phenotype). These are always expressed as a “percent likelihood” & are greatly dependent on the precision of the phenotypic description.

This is where I post my thoughts and reblog stuff from other sites I find interesting or topical, mostly topics from Twitter, Tumblr and blogs. Most discussion in Scribblings in the past has tended to be about the story, characters, their relationships, the timeline plus various controversies in the fandom. This is probably the closest thing on this blog to a “blog” – Lightly edited. Reverse chronological. WSJ sourcing: http://on.wsj.com/1sMrXMo ✛ date/timestamp.
