The Blacklist “The Judge”
It was, of course, only a matter of time from when we were first introduced to the shifty Jolene Parker (AKA Lucy Brooks) that the music team on The Blacklist would find an appropriate time to slip in Dolly Parton‘s iconic song, ‘Jolene.’ This version, played at the end of “The Judge”…
The Blacklist “Madeline Pratt”

A gut reaction, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. “T.R.A.C.K.S.”

Music and Pregnant Mayhem, The Blacklist “The Cyprus Agency”

Skye’s Past Presented, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. “Seeds”

The Blacklist “The Good Samaritan”
The inherent conundrum with a show like The Blacklist, whose basis is the rooting out and eradication of bad guys, is that eventually, something about the Big Bad of the Week resonates with the viewer, or we feel a certain empathy with him (or her) that makes the inevitable catch/capture/killing…
Coulson’s Torturous Resurrection, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. “The Magical Place”
Why do you do this to me, SHIELD? Why? I’m loyal. I have hopes. I show up every week, and even when you disappoint me, I come back. You promise me so much and deliver so little. Why can’t I quit you, SHIELD? Why?
