I hate Martin Gere. He Joked us another time. Jane is gone away. Remi returns. And she doesn't Remember who is his Kurt. Where are our Jeller? Our Happy ending that MG said us?! 😠

What do you feel you got most right with Season 2, and in what ways did you learn from Season 2 that will affect or change how you approach Season 3? GERO: I think Season 2 was very, very satisfying for our loyal viewers. If you’ve watched every episode of the show, the pay-offs, all the way through the year, were incredibly satisfying. If you’re a casual viewer of Blindspot, first of all, what is wrong with you?! How are you only watching every other episode?! But, they do exist. For them, the show maybe got a little confusing because the pace that we tell our mythology storytelling is so break-neck that, if you miss a couple of episodes, it might be harder to settle into the show. So, that’s something that we’re looking to help in Season 3. We want to have the show continue to be incredibly rewarding for our loyal viewers, but also way more approachable for the people that just drop in when they want to watch an episode of Blindspot. And then, also, what we’ve learned over these past two seasons is that our show does fun a lot better than it has any business doing. Our Rich Dotcom episodes are great. Some of our standalone episodes this year really worked and were very effective. So, we would like to see a better balance and tone with the show in Season 3. There’s so much going on in the world to stress about. We want Blindspot to be the escapist television it’s supposed to be, and not just have it stress you out even more, with the various ways the world could blow up. Although, that will still be a part of it.

Best Showrunner man! He *cares* about his show and his viewers! Hail to the chief.👍🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟

And so I started watching it there, since then I have been so freaking obssessed with Blindspot. This show is so great and when I found out that the fifth season was the final season, I was crushed... I AM crushed. I just don't get how something so depressing could happen. I shouldn't have grown too obssessed with the show then... Blindspot I love you!!✨🖤

And I do not say that lightly. His words you can *trust* because he doesn't lie to his viewers-EVER. Case in point: as I wrote in my recap, Gero is on point with this article. (GMTA) At this point, did Borden have to die? Yeah, I think so. The second we realized he was the mole early into season 1, we realized — especially if we were going to get him together with Patterson — he had to go. [K IF YOU ARE A BLACKLIST FAN, this is THE SAME FORMAT WITH LIZ/TOMKEEN. Gero keeps it real and KILLS HIS DARLING] "I don’t know how you redeem a character like that." [YOU CAN'T YOU ENDANGER YOUR FEMALE PROTAGONIST ANY TIME YOU COMPROMISE THEIR ETHICS TO PLOT WRITE A CHARACTER. IT NEVER WORKS. I SAID THIS MONTHS AGO PATTERSON MUST STAY TRUE TO HER PRINCIPLES AND BY DOING SO, SHES NOW A GRAY CHARACTER. PLOT DOESNT GROW. CHARACTERS ACTIONS DO. PLOT IS A DEVICE TO KEEP STATUS QUO, OR SHIFT LEAD POV. PATTERSON SURVIVING BORDEN's BETRAYAL IS WHAT ENRICHES AND GROWS HER CHARACTER.] "I think we also wanted a death of a major character that still didn’t necessarily feel like a major victory. It’s a real mixed emotion for everybody because obviously it’s a character we love so much. He went from being a shining star on our show to being truly vile. Ukweli really played that transition so beautifully and spectacularly. It, unfortunately, continues our long line of killing off these really tremendous performers in service of story and nothing else. He’s fantastic and we’ll be very sorry to see him go. " [HARDEST PART FOR A WRITER IS KILLING YOUR DARLINGS-BUT GOOD WRITERS UNDERSTAND IF YOU DON't, YOU RUN THE RISK OF LOSING THE THEME OF YOUR SHOW. YOU CANNOT WRITE A CHARACTER WITH ETHICS, TO ACCEPT A MURDERER, A TERRORIST, ONE WHO GASLIGHTED YOUR HEROINE. A FEMALE LEAD CANNOT WITHSTAND AS A STRONG CHARACTER IF COMPROMISED. GERO DID THE RIGHT THING] How will Shepherd react to not only losing her bug within the FBI but also losing Borden? What’s nice is that after a run of six episodes where we couldn’t get a win with these guys, the noose, we feel like, is finally starting to tighten around them. We’re pushing toward a really satisfying ending for the season. We finally have turned the tide a bit in this episode. Phase 2 is going to result in a lot of loss of life. What can you tease of the build up to this? How difficult will this be for the team to stop? It’s going to take everything. It’s going to be the hardest thing the team has ever done. The good news is, they’re the most united they’ve been all season in a lot of ways toward the end of the season. They’re scattered now, but the second part of the season is bringing the team back to the good old team. When our team is intact, there’s nothing they can’t handle. The steps that we do to get there to get to the end are [surprising] as well. I’m insanely proud of this last half of the season, especially because there are payoffs in there that we’ve been setting up since episode 2 or 3 that finally you’ll be like, “Oh sh—, that’s what that was about?” These last run of episodes are going to be the most fulfilling for even the most casual viewer of the show.
