Liz & Ressler - First Kiss (The Blacklist - 8x01)

"I need you to keep believing in me"
-
Jon Bokenkamp: All those questions are legitimate, and I think the answer is all the above. Was the kiss real and did it come from an emotional place? Yes. Was Liz using Ressler? Yes. Could she have used him if it wasn’t a real, earned moment? No. It’s such a complex moment filled with so many emotions — that’s what I like about it. What’s even better is where this story goes. TRUST ME, THAT KISS BETWEEN RESSLER AND LIZ IS THE BEGINNING OF A REALLY GREAT STORY THAT’S BEEN YEARS IN THE MAKING.

I've been waiting for this moment since Liz's birthday on season 2*17

[whammyjoverturf]

Been waiting since day one always wanted them together my hus didnt think they would be but shoot when it comes to women we know these things

[manbrey]

On Season 3 and I thought this would happen sooner.

[ScottCleve]

At this point I don't know how sincere Liz is kissing Ressler or if she's just playing with his emotions to get him to do what she wants.

[deanneshorty]

I never thought I would See them kiss .

[alijohnson]

I hav been waiting for this from the day she found out about who tom really was.... now after all this time finally, but somehow it seems like Liz was being insincere about that kiss, really hope it was genuine, would love to see more romantic scenes between them.

Thank you so so much! Good quality and now I can't stop watching it although it hurts so much... what we have to endure with them! I'm so happy about the kiss but at the same time sooo sad because of how the scene ends and because of what Liz says. Help 🤣🙈

[kellyf.]

I am sad because I feel like she played him. I hope this doesn't put a strain on their partnership.

[danaVampGirl]

She is breathtaking don’t know how he resisted so long

[jillpearl]

Stopped watching the Blacklist about two seasons ago. The stories told just didn't grab me like they used to. And honestly have gotten so so frustrated about Keenler not really happening - after all that suspence and underlying love the series built up over the years.
- And now that? A kiss. With all these various feelings lying beneath? Kinda genius at this point of their story - and I totally agree with Jon Bokenkamp! Thanks for uploading 🧡

I am currentky watching the pilot, 11mn30 in, and I came right to yt to get that "first kiss" scene, I had no doubt ^^

[zeusable]

Another reason to cry when I hear Landslide

[wesleyfrancis]

I was waiting a very long while for that to happen but now that it happened im not very happy

I don't know why

[Diamondsrfvr]

This is just a perfect scene. Full of feelings based on their shared history, but with the newest dynamics of fake Katarina, Dom, needing time to find answers, asking Ressler for help, so touched by his belief in her that she has tears, powerfully drawn to finally kiss him, knowing he has to do his job and easily reaching for his gun, filled with conflict over her feelings for him and some shame/self-loathing for feeling like she's betraying him. Megan's playing Liz as a perfect film noir character here.

[athandileqwaqwa]

Okay now am more hopeful that they may end up together like am so shocked, excited and busting with a lot of different emotions and is tom alive

[karinayleo]

I'm so happy finally now I can keep on watching ❤

[skryvazena]

I missed Liz Keen and Donald Ressler...

Ok well this has been spoiled for me just by innocently scrolling through YouTube 😒
