Personally, I'd like for Red Reddington to be exactly Red Reddington, the Father of Elizabeth Keene.
Nope, He is her uncle
I'm with you on that. I, too, would prefer that Red be Liz's father.
He must be an uncle or close family friend
He told Liz he wasn’t her father and hid the real Reddington bones in a suitcase. Katarina also said that he died in her arms. He’s not the real Reddington.
@Sharon Korang You really don't know who he is until the show says so. Right now, everyone, including you, is guessing because, like me, you didn't write the script
Just finished watching the S10 finale. There was no full disclosure of Red's identity. The showrunner did not get his way.
Any idea as to why it was left unanswered? kinda bugs me that they left it out given the fuss they made about it a few seasons earlier.
Love the show!
Agreed!❤
I tend to believe there will be a full disclosure, especially after I caught the final few minutes of the April 10th episode where Red told Cooper he has a huge reveal for him that will solidify why his immunity deal is valid and necessary.
The huge reveal is duplicating the OG Post Office
Red built a duplicate office but ended up using the real one
I will just truly miss this show. James Spader is such a chameleon of an actor it's hard to tell what's coming. One of the best shows ever as far as I'm concerned!
Yes for the show to end properly and without and disappointment Red's identity must be totally revealed. I believe he is the one and only true Raymond Redington and father of Elizabeth.
Red never lies to Elizabeth and when Liz asked Reddington directly about him being her father, he said no however he told Kirk that Liz was his daughter....which could only mean Red is Katarina.
but the problem with that is that the DNA test to show if he's related to her as her father didn't say any relation. Surely it would show theyre related but with curious anomolies if he was in fact a female instead of a male?
@@carbonwolf6995 You are incorrect. There was a paternity test done with the DNA provided from Cooper, from the real Redington, and it was positive that Redington was Liz's father. After that for a couple of seasons Liz often referred to Red as her father until later Liz found out that Red was an imposter.
@@bverji yeah, are you sure the second test was a paternity test? Thought that was a generic dna test
@@carbonwolf6995 There were 3 tests.
1. The first was done with the imposter Red's DNA. It was a paternity test, but Liz threw it away before reading it.
2. The second was a paternity test from the DNA of the real Redington with blood provided from Cooper (as previously stated).
3. The third DNA Test was done on the bones confirming that the real Redington was dead.
He's Katerina. That's why Dom was so pissed at her....
That doesn't make sense.
After we learn who he really is they should have a show from the day he disappeared and how he took care of Dembe and how he grew his Empire.Marvin Gerard told Cooper that Red only shows the government 1 percent of his Empire. WTF is the other 99 percent??
I agree! They would get at least another year of programming as a result, probably more. It would be quite entertaining too.
Blacklist should keep going for a tad bit longer
I mean never know when or if there will be a cliff hanger at the end of season 10.
For me its to soon for blacklisk to end
sins the letter red gave to dembe made liz not to want to shoot red and liz's reaction made it clear he has to be either her mother or father, this was always her weakness/soft spot, she wouldn't react to any1 else like that
Maybe the writers too don't know who he is. I can live with that. Let someone else write a better theory and produce a blacklist aftermath and reveal.
I'm thinking he is the real Raymond Reddington. That the one who died is "real" in the sense to the world and that's why the bones were a match. However, I want to think that our Red is actually the real one, but they've did the Prestige trick and it went wrong with the Bones Red died.
What are you talking about that it has no substance with red being katarina. Have you even watched the series ? Literally all clues point towards red being liz mother
I'm rethinking who he (Redington or R) is. A man rescued from the fire, a woman, she lived and some man, he died. This we know. During one on the episodes, they showed Redington's burned skin on his back. This person was there in the fire. This man we know as Raymond, knew Elizabeth shot her father. He had her memory erased. Another man had to become Redington to continue R empire. I believe the real Redington died from the gun shot wound. This man was Elizabeth father, he was the real Redington. We don't know the name of this other man that became Redington, but he was a real close friend of the mother.
My thing is what did the imposter, Raymond, not want Sam, the man that raised her, tell Elizabeth? R killed him. Why did he not want her mother to tell her the truth, R killed her. He didn't want Mr. Chaplin to tell Elizabeth, he drove her to kill herself. Wow, R wanted that secret kept.
So producers, you must let us know who is the mystery man and what is the big secret!
They ow the fans an answer!
There isn't one. They have just been dragging things out, making things look bigger and bigger to keep you hooked. It is unlikely that there is any answer that they can give that will live up to the expectations they have built.
@@alittlepieceofearth very possible that is true
james spader is a legend for this role alone! I love Red! i feel his pain. i get his corruption. he's the perfect antihero
Alan shore
He must be an uncle or close family friend
ROFLMAO no evidence to support Red was Katarina, non-sense
1.Kaplan said she put Liz in Red's arms 30 years ago (liz would have been a baby), but we see Kaplan and "Red" meet the first time and Liz was already 10 The only thing that makes sense is Kaplan learned later that Red was Katarina and was now referring to Red about when she was Katarina.
2. Red tells Kirkov Liz's is his daughter, (under truth serum), we later find out her father is dead.
3. Both Katarina and Red are both identified as N13
4. Red obviously cares deeply for Liz, but has very little concern for Jennifer.
5. Kaplan apologizes to "Katarina" when she digs up Redington's bones, which she is doing to hurt Red. Later found out that the bones are the real Redington
6. Kaplin says Little Nikko helped her after Annie was shot, and Red responds that Kate knows that he was "away" (not that he had not met Kate). At that time in Kate's flashbacks, Katarina tells Kate she must go "away." Kate had not yet met Red.
7. Ivan and Ilya are both childhood/old friends of Red and of Katarina, but Red and Katarina don't meet until well into adulthood.
8. After Dom is shot by Paris Katarina, he apologize to Red not understanding him...which is what katarina says about her father.
9. We see Dom, Katarina's father, sentimentally attached to his Wagoneer. Red sentimentally describes how his dad drove a Wagoneer. Both Katarina's father and Red's father are shown to/described as liking peanuts, being authoritarian, and excommunicating their child
10. Both Red and Katarina say their dad didn't understand them, but their mother did.
11. There is a scene in season 3 where Red is looking out of the window at a child. In the season 8 final this same scene is done with Katarina. Red and Katarina are standing in the same spot, seeing the same thing, at the sane time. They were literally sharing a brain.
12. Both Red and Katarina said they were the one to have Liz's memories wiped.
13. Katarina is the only person presented in the story that isn't accounted for after the imposter gets the plastic surgery done.
14. One of the very first things that Red says to Liz is that everything about him was a lie. Taken literally that would include gender.
15. Both Katarina and Red were burned in the fire.
16. It is said repeatedly that they aren't telling Liz what Red's identity is because she couldn't accept it. Who could make more sense then the loss of a mother she never knew.
17. Kate says she wanted to look after Liz, but couldn't while hiding. Becoming Redington accomplishes that. If Red was someone other than Katarina then she is gone and not looking after Liz.
18. Kaplan tells both Red and Katarina that she will do what is best for Liz.
19. Katarina's most obvious feature is her RED hair. People with RED hair are often called RED. It is not a coincidence that "Redington's" name is also shortened to RED. It is a literary device to connect the two characters.
20. The last time Katarina is ever seen is at the plastic surgeon before imposter Red gets surgery.
This just scratches the surface of all the evidence that Red was Katarina, I could continue to go one for another 20. You have to have your head in the sand to not see that Red was Katarina and ignore that there is almost nothing pointing to anyone else being Red. If you can't follow the actual clues to his identity then you should at least be able to access it like a game of Clue. When you get to the end of the story who is the one person introduced to the story you never found out where they were? That is obviously Katarina.
Also, Daniel Knauf was a staff writer for the show. A couple of days after the final he posted on Facebook that the writing staff were told that Red's true identity was Katarina way back in season 2.
EXACTLY!
Rewatch Season 2 Episode 5
The scene where Raymond is watching a recording of Jennifer, and he is smiling & then it ends with him looking traumatized. How is it, Jennifer? You might wonder. In the episode at the end of Season 8 Nachlo, I think it's called. (Where Liz is apparently being told the truth about it all) keep in mind that everyone in that room has openly lied. The girl running in the yard is Jennifer. And side by side. They are the same.
Would Katarina feel the same way. Or does it make more sense that the writers are at fault for destroying such a good plot. It had such great potential. 😢
Ok so you said that side by side they are the same...that would seem consistent that they are both Jennifer. I don't see your point. Would Katarina feel the same way as what? Your point doesn't seem to make sense, and even if it did it is highly subjective where you are attempting to judge someone's emotional state in direct conflict with the information given by the show. That isn't a rational way to solve a mystery.
@bverji I'm not trying to make it a reason or to prove who Raymond really is. It's just that Katarina says that she felt uncomfortable helping babysit Jennifer. So, hypothetically, if Raymond is Katarina, it doesn't make sense that she would look at the video like a nice memory and even look traumatized at the end of the scene. It just proves my point as to how bad the story writers are and how little they care for the audience clarity.
If you listen carefully, what John is really saying is that there is no explanation forthcoming, but it is not his fault. I don't recall it being mentioned once in season 9. The problem is that they have painted themselves into a corner with no way out. The clues left over the years rule out the possibility of him being either the real Raymond Reddington or Katarina Rostova. Therefore, it must be someone else; and if so, who cares? They may invent a totally new character, but it is clearly an afterthought.
He must be an uncle or close family friend
@@PRHILL9696 What kind of uncle or close family friend would put-up with Agent Keen's lies and betrayals? Agent Keen's real father would abandoned her in season 2 when she refused to give him the fulcrum. Every time Agent Keen went rouge, her plan immediately went sideways but it was Reddington to the rescue. Agent Keen put Reddington's life at risk and tried to kill him dozens of times; I can't believe any uncle or close family friend would continued that relationship.
They just should revealed his secret after season 5 or 6. After that it became just too much.
@@toromontana8290
30 years ahead, i don't think so.
@@johnbehan8235
Or someone who was very close to her mother, trusted her, cared about her and loved her, keeped a promise to her, that will protect her daughter on any cause, could be someone, who could keep with her lies and betrayals. Also 90% and more of her lies and betrayals were because his actions and because he doesn't telling her the truth. You act like she out of nothing stared to act like that on 180 degrees. Every action has consequences. Red's case is big example of that conception. I don't defend her, just i am realistic and don't pick a side. You all( majority of the fans), without wanting to offend you all, act very subjective and put so much double standards on whole situation. He did it to himself. When you lie someone and not telling the true about something so important over and over again, so you should expect, that this certain person will turn on you or just will stop trusting you. Yes, he care about he, he deeply and truly love her and he did everything about her, it is 100% true, i can't disagree with that. But if he told her the real and all truth, maybe she would to do what she did. Stop to watch the whole situation from Red's POV and prospective, just try to put yourselves in her position, not only to judge like you all know better. The answer is always in between.
In the season finale. Cooper said
& is “ Agnes grandfather “ enough said
I’m done with all these damn theories after 13 years 😂
The show creators and Red have said for years that they knew his identity and there is consistent clues starting from the first episode of the first season of his idenity.

@@bverji THIS!!!
@bverji I guess it is official
@bverji thank you! Point #20...I feel like ALOT of people missed that episode where they spoke about the plastic surgery!! Red is Katarina.
Just look at how he treated his other daughter Jennifer. He didn't care 2shits about her... that's because she wasn't his child.
I could tell from the beginning that there was no plan here other than to milk the audience for as long as possible. Part of the premise of the show is that these characters have back stories that led to the story we are watching. In this lies an unspoken promise that the creators of this show knew those backstories before going in. Knowing the characters' backstories gives them a place to begin when writing episodes. From the beginning it was clear that the creators really had no idea. This was going to be another LOST. Make it up as you go along. In my book this constitutes fraud. I watched for a while because Red is such a delicious character and Spader is an amazing actor. But, there were episodes that Spader played his character with the understanding that Red was Keen's father, because that was where the writing was going in that episode. The next week he played it the exact opposite because the writing in the next episode was seemed to indicate that. I could swear to you that you could almost hear his internal monologue going "What?!" Eventually, I had to stop watching because no matter how great a character Red is, I just couldn't participate in my own manipulation. If the creators/writers had had any real plan other than seeing how long they could drag things out, they would have at least let the actors know what they needed to in order for them to be able to do their job. In theory, Red knows whether he is Keen's father or not. This means that Spader should have known it too. The fact that they don't even know if they are going to give the audience an answer says that they never had one to begin with. This is bad faith, lazy writing and on some level, even unethical.
You are the first fan, that thinks what exactly i thinking so many years. For years i have seen so many comments, posts and tweets about this series from many people, most of them fans, hundreds of them, thousands of them, millions of them and for the firts time you are the one, who said it, the same thing i thinking. They just don't have any idea, what to do with his character and more precisely with his secret. No matter how much the fans prize the writers and the script, and talking like they knew from the beginning, what to do with this big secret, it is not true. Since the beginning the writers did not know what to do or at least they had not one, but many options and switched between them all the time. First he is her father, so the whole plot circle around that idea, after that they decided, he not to be her father and again the whole plot stars to circle about that conception. After that the third option, he being her mother or some very close to her and again everything being changed to match that conception. After that they go back to the firts option, after that to second again, to first again, to third...to 1st....to 3rd....and like that over and over again 10 years.😂😂😂 Just this stars to be very frustrating.
@@vencislavgynev8282 Yeah they kinda wrote themselves into a circle which tends to happen to shows that don’t have a concrete endgame before doing like 10 seasons. This show would’ve been great with about 5 to 6 seasons and solid concrete plan but it just started to get frustrating and the literal only reason I even watched it was for red because spader is such a damn good actor. At this point, his identity no longer holds the same weight, especially with Elizabeth gone.
That’s just related to his identity because they’ve also showed bad writing in other areas as well. I’ll never forget the like 10+ episodes of him trying to get out jail and all that bs. We’re supposed to believe he’s one of the top tier criminals in the world and we’ve literally seen so many groups break people out of the craziest shut but he can’t get out the situation he’s in. It just didn’t make sense and was honestly arc that kinda started showing how flawed the writing was for the show.
No they pretty much told the audience straight up who Red really was. It has also been confirmed by several people, including Spader, that they always knew who Red's identity was.
So several government drs, dozens of women , prison drs all ignored he didnt have a penis ? Boom debunked.
He is Katarina Rostova. Why can't people get that? I love the show but I watched it.
Grow up
that would be alien surgery
@@eduardosarabiamonforte339 I know right
They don't want to believe it. But the clues are all there.
If he is kat, how would all the women he has slept with not run for the hills when he doesnt even have an actual pp?
Funny how a bunch of FBIs cannot just pull his glass or hair to DNA test him and tell us who he really is 😂
