True. The Red backstory is worth an entire season all by itself.
There is no way the FBI/CIA knows that he is her father and lets her on the case. IF somehow he is her father its from a second family that would have known him as a criminal, not a military guy.My completely wild *** guess, that's probably wrong, is that Red IS her father. Admittedly I kinda blasted through the first four episodes on DVR, so I might have missed some important details that would imply otherwise, but this is what I got:
Her dad left when she was a kid. Red disappeared in 1990, 23 years ago. I don't know how old she's supposed to be, but I'd guess somewhere between 25 and 30, which would put her at an age where she might not recognize him, especially if he wasn't around alot, and she had a difficult upbringing, which is the general vibe I'm getting.
In the restaurant in Montreal, I believe she made some comment on how it wasn't a date, and he said something to the effect that she could just be his daughter. Maybe nothing, but it seems like an oddly specific line as opposed to just filler dialogue, especially in that context.
In the intro video, they mention him leaving his family, and there's a quick shot of a little girl. Maybe Elizabeth?
In the Stewmaker's photo album, he removed a picture of a woman, and seemed to want to make sure nobody saw. Maybe his wife? I know Elizabeth's mom died when she was young, but I don't remember what details they mentioned about it. If it is her, how did they know she was dead, as the Stewmaker's MO was to make people disappear completely, unless it used to be different. This point seems iffy to me, but it's something to think about anyway.
Then there's just the general vagueness about Red, and her father, and the thing with her husband (I haven't watched the last episode yet, so I don't know how that factors in), the fact that her higher-ups seem like they know or suspect something that they're not telling her. Then combine Red's concern for her safety, fixation with her, and familiarity with aspects of her life that wouldn't be expected unless he had reason to keep tabs on her.
Something to think about anyway
It's called Fiction. And it's fun.
yes, but that is completely different than her being reddington's daughter in the family that got left behind when he went dark.
I think it is far more likely that Red and her father were associates and Red made some promise to him?
