Secondary and tertiary characters[edit]

Who makes the distinction? Certainly there has to be disagreement about what level each character is. --180.200.27.250 (talk) 13:55, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My guess would be their level of relation to and impact on the main characters and the large scale plot (as opposed to individual blacklist cases). EauZenCashHaveIt (I'm All Ears) 14:26, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds incredibly subjective to me, and subject to change as Blacklisters turn into recurring characters. I think it would just be better and less ambiguous if it was all one section of recurring characters. --180.200.27.250 (talk) 13:09, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any subjectivity at all. A good point of reference would be List of Seinfeld minor characters. Since The Blacklist is not as much of a public interest, so to speak, what we have now works just fine. EauZenCashHaveIt (I'm All Ears) 20:11, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what the level of public interest has to do with "what we have now," nor do I think it "works just fine" without a clear set of rules for deciding who is a secondary or tertiary character. A quick look at the list of characters has Liz's bodyguard Ezra and Apple Man as secondary characters and Connolly as tertiary characters. I think at certain points in season one, Apple Man seemed a semi-central character and Connolly a minor plot point in one episode. Even Luli didn't have much of an impact on the series at all. I would say, absent some clarity on how these things are decided, people are inevitably going to argue about the importance of each character. --133.29.108.237 (talk) 01:18, 28 April 2015 (UTC) (same poster as above, just from another computer)[reply]

cleanup required[edit]

The Disenfranchised are not Blacklisters, and Kat Goodson, Walter Gary Martin and Laurel Hitchin are not proven to be Cabal members (they may be associated with people who are but there is no clear connection to the Cabal based on 2.5 seasons of episodes). But their descriptions are too lengthy to be moved back into the Supporting Characters header. Some further cleanup of the page is required in my opinion. --180.200.27.250 (talk) 10:57, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Last edit by User:2602:306:3786:3210:683C:B213:AC0:C2CC reverted for mixing things up[edit]

Just to clearly source, the edit was wrong. Mixed up Naz Rown, played by Tawny Cypress, with a Character named Romina, played by Joselin Reyes. Imdb has a picture of that, what is mixed: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMjA3MDc2MTAwNV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNDM3OTgwMDI@._V1_.jpg --Robberey1705 (talk) 20:02, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tenses[edit]

The tenses in this article are a mess, with constant switching between present and past tense. Plot summaries should generally be consistently in the present, with past tense used only to refer back to situations prior to the point reached in the summary. This is a chronic problem with articles on popular culture. Koro Neil (talk) 13:08, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Who is Raymond "Red" Reddington[edit]

It was disclosed before the Orion Relocation Services that Frank was Ilya Koslov as Katrina was looking for Ilya. We know from "Robert Diaz" that Frank/Ilya and "Red" were a childhood friends or like brothers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WiseOwlSam (talk • contribs) 00:34, 15 December 2019 (UTC) . Is "Red" N13 or is Elizabeth? WiseOwlSam (talk) 17:41, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Megan Boone[edit]

74.88.242.242, please stop addding Megan Boone in season 9. She didn't appear there, she left show after season 8. All appears in season 9 is archive footage. You must proove your edits. Lado85 (talk) 19:12, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote she was is ep.20, but she didn't appear in that episode.Lado85 (talk) 07:43, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please check again. Although the material was brief, we got a new flashback set during the events of Konets, as Reddington is confronting Marvin. She drank a coffee while with Red it gave her headaches, and Marvin is shown later giving her a painkiller, which is revealed to be how she got the tracker inside her system. Boone may have left the show officially, but it's little tidbits like this that show she's still active as a guest for new material we haven't seen yet. I understand why my reverts would come off as vandalism, but as someone who loves the show and its fandom, I will correct information like this if I believe it's inaccurate. 74.88.242.242 (talk) 17:09, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There is only Liz's hands in episode 20, when Marvin gives her a painkiller, no actress. This is no appereance. Lado85 (talk) 08:35, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of what you think or even are sure you saw on the show, material in a WP article has to come from a reliable source, not from your own experience. So, unless we can cite a reliable source saying Megan Boone appeared in S9, we can’t say it in the article. WP 101. —В²C ☎ 13:47, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
