This article will obviously contain huge spoilers for fans of “Blindspot” who haven’t seen episode 9 of the show yet, so it’s probably a good idea to get up to speed with the series itself before reading on. The latest episode brought about a lot of drama and it shocked fans with a plot twist that came out of nowhere. The producers of the show made it quite clear that they are not going to take it easy on the sadder plot developments and that they fully intend to make fans question the future of some characters, so it’s interesting to see where the show will go next.
Most critics found the episode to be very well-constructed as it started out on a rather standard note and didn’t really foreshadow what was about to happen in any significant way. And indeed, the special “surprise” was thrown in right at the end of the episode, when many fans probably didn’t expect anything bad to happen as the story was wrapping up already.
The events leading up to the death of David were more or less typical for the show, and there was even some humor thrown in as we saw Jane and Weller playing the role of a married couple in order to infiltrate a high-profile event. Things went relatively well, although they got in a bit of a tight spot towards the end of the operation, but managed to pull through successfully after all. Fans were also treated to a pretty impressive shooting scene in which we saw various members of the police force running around and shooting up the place.
David himself had his own tasks to handle during the whole ordeal, and he was hot on the trail of a suspicious female who seemed to be using the special coding system that he was aware of. Judging by discussions on the Internet, fans didn’t really expect to see what happened next, and the death of the character came as a surprise to pretty much everyone.
And needless to say, it also became a hot topic on messaging boards related to the show immediately after the episode aired, and fans are now wondering what this could imply for other characters on the show and the future of their favorite production in general. Are we going to see “Blindspot” shifting towards a more dramatic, darker direction? It would appear that many fans of the show would actually find this an enjoyable development, although we have no idea what the writers could actually be planning.
Guerrero also got in trouble at the same time, and fans have actually been wondering about the character and whether he made it out from the disastrous situation successfully. This has been a major point of discussion among the show’s fans, and we’ll have to wait a little longer to find out. Normally, we would guess that the character is okay, but after what happened to David, we aren’t quite so sure anymore.
Now, fans will have to get used to the idea that characters on this show are expendable. Of course, this probably doesn’t mean that the writers are about to start killing off every other character just for the sake of it, and whenever that does happen, it will be carefully thought out in a way that doesn’t affect the story negatively. Otherwise, the show could quickly lose its appeal and we can see its fans getting frustrated and disappointed with the way it’s running.
