Yet, as the TV schedule waned, it finally said its goodbyes, and now other "The Blacklist" cast member James Spader is opening up about Season 10's – and the series’- twist ending and how he felt about it. First, if you haven’t seen the series finale of "The Blacklist," we are going to get into spoilers in the next couple of paragraphs, so now may be a good time to bail or scan down later in the article!
