It is very weird that one of the creators lives in the same small town in middle America as I. Some of the character names from the first season are names of people I know.
I will forever miss this series.. This show was amazing in every way possible. Raymond was someone i wish i had as a father, smart, brave and do what ever to protect the ones he love. Im glad he didn't get shot by liz i almost had a heart attack with all the emotions i was feeling. The way he was lying in that dirt was to funny. I just wish i could've seen all the love they had for him once they found out he died. This was definitely the best tv series ever made
I have a feeling when the show started Raymond was suppose to be her father. As it gained popularity the writers thought the reveal was going to be a let down, so they started hinting at Raymond being....her mother! Unfortunately for the writers they sort of painted themselves in a corner with the earlier episodes that were building up to him being the father so they ultimately did not answer the question. Just my two cents.
I really don't care who is who,I just love this movie ! Actually I'm watching it for the third time around. I love James Spader,he's awesome. Love Ryan Eggold too and Megan Boone. It's the best movie I've ever watched ! Hope they will be more to come,with these actors and actresses
There’s so many hints that he’s actually Katarina Rostova but the final thing that’s convinced me is when he’s talking to Agnes and she’s telling him about her crush, he gives her advice and she replies with “you’re being such a mom” and he says “I can’t help it” Edit: just finished the video lol
It must be Katarina Rostova. She changed her gender and identity into her deceased husband Raymond Reddington to protect her daughter as well as keeping her secrets safe.
There’s so many hints towards the end. Another one is when Agnes says “you’re being such a mom” and he replies with “I can’t help it” with a deep stare
@@ziadajam5433but the Reddington we know had multiple relationships with straight women in the earlier seasons, so he couldn't have been a woman. Plus he literally grieves over the real katarina at the bay
it was AI. probably entirely AI that wrote the script, put the clips together and read it. like 80% of yt videos now are ai. its a cheap, lazy way to pump out a ton of content. if you dont see a person on the video speaking live then its likely an ai at this point. its sad.
He’s Katarina. When liz asks why he won’t let her open the letter before she shoots him he says cause she won’t want to shoot him when she’s found out who he was.
He has had sex with multiple women, zero of whom seemed lesbian or implied he lacked a virile penis. He was stripsearched before his OG male prison sentence that he weaseled his way out of plus an couple later arrests. They'd have noticed a fake penis or vagina. In season 1 he explicitly refers to memories of himself being a boy.
@@RassionellMaddman With a good phalloplasty transition women can get erect and have sex. They also look perfectly normal, without specifically looking in a diagnostic manner no one would notice.

If Raymond was Catarina then there would be no burns because if Catarina changed then the burns would be gone because she had a full body configuration because she would be nowhere near the body size of Raymond
@@nathiggins6366 You can't compare body size of actors. That is ridiculous. Yes they aren't REALLY the same person. Just like the actors who play younger versions of the cast are obviously not the same people either. You are selectively applying unequal levels of disbelieve to force a conclusion.
As far as I remember he is her mother's friend as he mentioned a story of their affair and he thought Liz is his child while Caterina confirmed it's not + Caterina was alive and met Liz at some point! He can't be Caterina.
Some sources list Spader as 5'10" but he is actually closer to 5' 8" but either way comparing the height of actors in this regard is asinine, these types of differences between actors are conventionally ignored for the sake of story. You have all sorts of actors playing younger versions of characters that obviously can't be the same person and I doubt you thought once about it.
This first season of this show was amazing, but of course like every other show out there it became stail and convaluted. The most capitvating thing the show did was have the audience always wonder who the real Raymond Reddington was because he's such a compelling character. The writers really fumbled the bag
He was Katarina. I am truly convinced! Idk if the writers always had that as the plan, but it was a twist that I applaud. I was a little disappointed by the last episode of the series, but I believed they were going to confirm the hints to who he really was.
I’m gonna learn to put this on the shelf, along with ‘is Deckard a replicant’. My thought, being ‘does it really matter’? As Bruce would say “it’s not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.”
Actually I do think that he was Katarina Rostov. I can't remember in which episode but him and Ilya were sitting on a park bench and said who loves you and he said you do because they were best friends growing up. I don't know if anybody else caught that
I think likely he's a clone of Katarina and original Raymond in one body at same time with all the memories. Explains how he knows so much and is maliable enough to fit all situations. Meaning the real Raymond yes killed by Masha and Katarina drowning, both dead. Enabling this new persona to be so free yet still be so constricted. Or maybe the real Raymond was dembe all along.
@@RedeemedPastures You have no idea if she was or not she had a shirt on. The show directly confirms though that Katarina was burned and other than Liz (who also didn't show signs of being burned when they went to visit Kaplanl) no one else is confirmed to be burned.
@@sui6160 because a sex changes is easily noticed and I think the doctors that the FBI or when he was in prison would have noticed it's easily debunked because it makes no sense
Yeah, I really love this show. I'm gonna miss it. We're at season 10 now with about 5 episodes to go. But there's no way. I believe that she had a sex change to become Raymond. Reddington, I believe that he is Liz's father. He cared too much for someone. That's not his and I just. Believe that with the way they did the show, just my version of it that Reddington Raymond did survive. And he's the one that had the surgeries to change so they couldn't pick him out and cause they thought he was dead. I mean, Katerina said that she held him in his arms till he died. But you know she may have said that to protect him. Because. No one else I'm after that. Except for her so I still say he's the father and it was him and Katerina. I that was planned all this in the end. Just. my theory
Blacklist sucked so bad.... It was good for about three episodes until I realised every single episode is exactly the same with a few minor variations.
@@sincerelyspazz so how did the doctors at the FBI or the prison for that matter miss the sex change they also ran has DNA and did blood test and never picked it up are you kidding me it makes no sense

The writers probably don't know either.

LMAOOOOOOO
😂😂😂😂
My opinion is Raymond is Katrina but due the woke movement the writers kept it secret so ppl don’t boycott the show

I had the pleasure of just recently discovering this show and being able to binge all 10 seasons. This show was a masterpiece
Yes!
I'm on the last season. The show is amazing.
It truly was
You should also try sons of anarchy, peaky blinders, white collar, revenge, power universe book tv shows, vampire diaries
He’s the Lizard King, duh!
He can do anything!
Just theories, no solid answers from the show

With an ongoing TV show, u never sure how many seasons you will get hence why they had so many fakes out

Loves this series hates it ended
Agnes should have inherited his empire to keep the story going 😅
Yep
There’s so many hints that he’s actually Katarina Rostova but the final thing that’s convinced me is when he’s talking to Agnes and she’s telling him about her crush, he gives her advice and she replies with “you’re being such a mom” and he says “I can’t help it”

It must be Katarina Rostova. She changed her gender and identity into her deceased husband Raymond Reddington to protect her daughter as well as keeping her secrets safe.
Hhh no man no 😂 whtFck
100% agreed they hint at it far too much lol
They weren't even married. Get your facts straight. Redarina fans tend to disregard what they don't like, not because it is wrong or can be disproven
@@Cobra-ls3bx But marriage is not necessary to have a child.
He is Katarina Rostova. Season 8 last episode Liz hold the picture with her mother and Raymond say's "I was there".
There’s so many hints towards the end. Another one is when Agnes says “you’re being such a mom” and he replies with “I can’t help it” with a deep stare
He could have been there that day, out of frame.
@@GoBlueHTB that’s the logical analysis but the hidden message is he was her, and all the other hints along the show validate the second theory
@@ziadajam5433but the Reddington we know had multiple relationships with straight women in the earlier seasons, so he couldn't have been a woman. Plus he literally grieves over the real katarina at the bay
I gave up trying to figure that out about the time the writers did.
In any case, I'd like ta think Raymond Reddington is almost as much, if not JUST as much of a Saint as he is a Sinner!!!
Nah i think it was the dude her mom was having an affair with her real dad died so he took his place
Exactly.. either RRR didn’t die.. or he’s a loyalist to KR but he’s a man NOT a woman
Well that was a lifeless read of someone's else's work. And somewhere along the line the sentences stopped making sense.
it was AI. probably entirely AI that wrote the script, put the clips together and read it. like 80% of yt videos now are ai. its a cheap, lazy way to pump out a ton of content. if you dont see a person on the video speaking live then its likely an ai at this point. its sad.
Loved this show and still miss The Blacklists.

Ray himself also does not know who he is
I always thought Raymond was Liz's Mom. I believe the writers admitted this.
Quite right, this is a proven theory👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I was one of the writers and I can confirm that we don’t know either.
As far as I remember he is her mother's friend as he mentioned a story of their affair and he thought Liz is his child while Caterina confirmed it's not + Caterina was alive and met Liz at some point!
He can't be Caterina.
I think he may be the real Raymond Reddington.
100% not the real Redington. You have to ignore a massive amount of information to conclude that.
The real Raymond Reddington is Katarina rostova, you can find it in some webs with alright reasons.
"hey, let's have an ending like the Sopranos!"
"nah, I have a worse idea!"
Hes 5'10 180 lbs shes 5'5" 120 pounds and hes got a larger build 1980s plastic surgery cant do that.
Some sources list Spader as 5'10" but he is actually closer to 5' 8" but either way comparing the height of actors in this regard is asinine, these types of differences between actors are conventionally ignored for the sake of story.

riiiiiiiight, and dominic (katarina's dad) just played along with the delusion. this was such a lazy video, screen rant.
Either Katarina or really reddington . The remember he had the burn marks from the fire or it’s reason to believe that is Katarina
Katarina was not burned when she went to visit Mr Kaplan. Certainly not to the extent of Reds scars.
@@RedeemedPastures You have no idea if she was or not she had a shirt on. The show directly confirms though that Katarina was burned and other than Liz (who also didn't show signs of being burned when they went to visit Kaplanl) no one else is confirmed to be burned.
Wait so y’all saying Raymond pulled a Ray Frinkle (Ace Ventura) and is Liz mom?
😂
Lol
He is Katarina and I'm absolutely sure.
Except FBI had Red's DNA . Which isn't of a woman
@@WatchWaveScreenlol the guy had people working for him in whole governments. You think faking DNA would be difficult?
@@sincerelyspazzjust stop
@@xinstinctzs5585 gain a brain
Dont forget that the accountant of Raymond hated all menn. Forgot her name. S1

A lot of people were killed for disgusting liz
What?! The mother?! 😂
That's fu-- ed up
Wait she became a dude? I’m confused!!😂😂
Was it ever truly confirmed her bio father actually died? Sure it’s said he did but was there a body? Sorry I’ve not gotten far but curious.

why?
