Some of that was actually my city

Tonight's episode of Blacklist takes our heroes to Warsaw. There were some nice aerial shots of Palace of Culture and Royal Castle and Świętokrzyski Bridge with National Stadium behind it. The train tracks made me feel especially homesick - there are so many of those all over the place. All those poor actors trying to speak Polish - some of it was even understandable (but the background voices sounded like real Polish so I wonder if they filmed part of it there or just got some recordings). Except obviously Polish ones like the taxi guy and the stolen car caller - they really spoke Polish. However, James Spader has pretty decent pronunciation.

Also the stuff in the store - drinks and such looked right - and I feel like whoever wrote this was in Poland (or knows some Poles really well) because that thing about pączki with rose filling was spot on (they are only real ones). But the flag thing is so not - only Americans put flags everywhere. We do not put flags in banks. The only flags not in the government buildings are put on buildings and streets on national holidays (also outside). But including Warsaw flag (yellow/red) was a nice touch (although still not inside banks - that's weird).

And it was pretty obvious from the moment the moment she showed up that Samar Navabi would be Meera's replacement. But I didn't quite expected her working with Reddington so soon (obviously she would to find her brother killer but I didn't expect it so soon).
