Well that's terribly clever. I'm sure it's meaningless, but it's pretty cute.

"I said no camels, that's five camels, can't you count?"

[–] LucusNon 8 years ago

OT .(not about the titles; this is just for chuckles.)

"Yes, the second season of the Blindspot will start soon. It is almost here now"

... is an anagram of ...

"Almost the worst show yet seen. Foolish, nonsensical stories. Bad plot. End it."
. (It really is an anagram.. You can verify it with an anagram tester.)

. (Not trolling, I'm just having fun with anagrams.. I don't really hate the show that much.)

. 2nd Season Premiere Title:

. . . ⚫In Night So Ransomed Rogue (2016)

. Anagram:

. . . ⚫Nothing Is More Dangerous

[–] unruly1-969-671644 8 years ago

Nice!

Further thoughts on "Swift Hardhearted Stone."

Previous anagram solution is "Focus on the time.."

One solution is
"When a father tossed dirt."

Makes some sense when related to episode 1,23

I wouldn't say that it's anywhere near the 'right' solution though.

[–] MiloSuperSpesh 8 years ago

season 2 ep1 In Night So Ransomed Rogue not having much look with what that is.

[–] LucusNon 8 years ago

In Night So Ransomed Rogue
not having much look with what that is.

As I noted earlier, the solution is:. "Nothing Is More Dangerous".

[–] spn_djinn 8 years ago

Updated! 😀

New season - I am so glad they are still keeping the anagram/poem going!

[–] LucusNon 8 years ago

"... I am so glad they are still keeping the anagram/poem going!"

E.P. Martin Gero told Entertainment Weekly:

"... it’s like a word game for these first nine episodes.
The first 10 episodes last year were a little poem.
This [season's anagrams are] also that, but the writers have
done something really, really fun. It's not earth-shattering.
It's more of a fun word game; it doesn't lead to anything bigger."

Keep up the great work

[–] LucusNon 8 years ago

.
S2 E2 is titled ."Heave Fiery Knot".
(Some reports had "Know" instead of "Knot", but "Knot" is apparently correct.)
The anagram, as some observant viewers have noted elsewhere, is: ."They Invoke Fear".

S2 E3 is titled ."Hero Fears Imminent Rot".
One good anagram solution is:. "For Their Moment Is Near".

[–] spn_djinn 8 years ago

Updated. 2x3 sounds good. I was trying to solve "Heave Fiery Knot" but kept getting stuck because I would begin with "than", or "for" or "to", following from 2x1.

[–] rycki1138 8 years ago

Epguides.com and Futon Critic are showing episode 02-04 as If Beth, which I would say is probably The Fib.

I don't know what they have to say. It makes no difference anyway. Whatever it is, I'm against it.

[–] marcus_stokes2000 8 years ago

2x04 is apparently titled 'If Beth' which anagrams to 'The FBI'.

Hawkeye: Do you know how it feels to be unmade?
The Avengers

[–] gun_will_travel 8 years ago

I think "The Fib" is a better fit, since the episode plot centers around the secrets of the girl's parentage and mother's faked death.

[–] LucusNon 8 years ago

In the ongoing Reddit thread at .https://reddit.com/r/blindspot/comments/526yp5/,
user "puzzle1022" has posted a solution of S2E5 "Condone Untidiest Thefts":
"Defends the Constitution". .(Pairing this with the preceding title:
"The FBI Defends the Constitution.")

The same Reddit user also posted a solution of S2E7 "Resolves Eleven Myths":
"Serve Only Themselves" or "Only Serve Themselves".

S2E6 "Her Spy's Mind" may be more difficult to solve
(something in the context of S2E7 "... serve only themselves").
As the aforementioned Reddit user speculated, perhaps the solution
could involve a name or an abbreviation that is yet to be revealed?
Or might it be resolved by some other clue that is yet to be found?

... Update:
S2E6 is now reported to be titled "Her Spy's Harmed".
For the anagram solution, see the updated information
in my reply dated October 15th below.

what are some anagrams of blindspot? Maybe it'll reveal why it's called that :P

You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.

[–] LucusNon 8 years ago

"A Blindspot episode"
. is an anagram of
"Bad Plots in episode".
