Odd Episode
Hitchcoc5 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
A Luddite blows up a plane, killing many people. It's interesting that one can justify death of many to get their way in the economic world. Of course, what is presented as a cause gets down to abject selfishness. Red is working this banking business in a big way and will stop at nothing. As a subplot, Liz's father is dying of cancer in a hospital. But somehow he knows Red and they share a serious secret. Knowing he will be dying, he wants to share his secret with his daughter, and Red can't have that. So Red takes away any chance that he can see his daughter again. This is one of the harshest moves I've seen in this series.

The pillow is mightier than the sword

I'm pretty tired of that old trope that a pillow on the face will kill someone in seconds. In a hospital, apparently, the deadliest item in it is the bedding. Also I think the funeral music was trying to sell me either a TV or a Kodak camera, but it was the advert music for one of those things. Other than that the episode is fine.

Anti-capitalism

Anti-capitalism.

I am also to anti capitalism also. General ludd were against tyrannes who use power for themselvers, like raymond, or any country that does not help every member of it.

But i am not ok with the methods. Ludd was good to ban flights with their actions. Maybe economy could go down. I am not sure about it. We lived covid 19 and flights were stopped but nothing happened to the system. Only it happened to poor people.

Anyway, it is interesting that such a big organisation goes down when leader ludd captured.

William sadler is here as father of keen. I did not know her father is alive. It was said he was guilty . But i did not see any cops around his room at hospital.

I always thought raymond protects keen because of his father told him to do after he died and so he was dead. So, if he is not dead, raymond is real father.

I searched and did not find anything about ludd. So, it is not real probably.

Raymond is such a villain. Killed without winking. Her daughter became very upset.

And who did he search in fbi criminal search?

It is really bad plot that keen cant go to the hospital. She can go without plane, with car. How can not they find someone instead of keen only a few days, so that she can go to the hospital.
