Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe last scene is accompanied by the song "A Mi Manera (My Way)," written by and made famous by Frank Sinatra. This version, recorded by the Gipsy Kings, is in Spanish and has a less iconic tone than Sinatra's recording, but still makes the point that nothing in life matters more than living on your own terms (and presumably dying that way as well).
- GoofsThe car that Ressler drives in Seville has an impossible license plate (B 25G8 4F): old license plates in Spain had the province initial (B would be Barcelona, quite far from Seville), 4 numbers and then 1 or 2 letters (so B 2548 GF would make sense), but this numbering system was abandoned more than 20 years ago. Current license plates are 4 numbers and then 3 letters (these are assigned consecutively regardless of the province).
- Quotes
Dembe Zuma: After I was shot, lying there on the street - I thought I was dying. And in that moment, I was okay with that being the end. With all the things going through my mind - I also thought of Raymond. More than anyone I've ever known, he's always been at peace with death. He says death is inevitable. It will come for us all. And that inevitability robs death entirely of its significance. What matters are the things that are not inevitable. The things we create. The things we find. The left we take when everything in our life is leading us right. How we live. I've always loved him for that. For his remarkable refusal to "go quietly into that good night."
Harold Cooper: The poem - by Dylan Thomas. "Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

This has to be one of the best shows I have ever watched. The writers kept us, the audience, on the edges of our seats. I knew this final episode was going to come and I was not looking forward to it. I'm trying to be very judicious in what I say about the details, I do not want to spoil this last episode.
Yea, we all know this is the finale, but I had no idea it would end like this. I can hear so many of the fans feeling they got ripped off, and what a poor ending it was. Not me. I can hear, just like my wife said "is that it, is that all we are getting?" But as the Gypsy Kings we're singing in the background, Reddington did it his way. My rating is due only to the fact that we will not be enjoying this fantastic show. I thought when Liz died that would be the death of The Blacklist, but no.
WOW! Really going to miss this show.
