For all those that have yet to
watch tonight’s episode of Revenge,
entitled ‘Resurgence’, then let me suggest that that is what you do now before
proceeding ahead. As this is not a spoiler free blog. THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! You’ve been warned.
I have to say that by the
previews, I’m more excited for next week’s episode than I was happy with this
one. It’s not that it was a bad episode, it did after all have a take down in
the episode, it’s that it felt more like a filler episode than one that fit into
the plot altogether.
The relationships in this series
are becoming so convoluted. While the objective of this show is Emily’s revenge
plan, I actually want Daniel and Sarah to be together. Emily is just too poised
that she’s somewhat of a bland character a lot of the time, and she has very
little chemistry with Daniel now that they’re getting married. I think she had
more chemistry with him the last two seasons than she has this season. Sarah
and Daniel are much better suited for each other. And while I do think Emily
and Aiden would make a good pair, I just can’t help but still want her to be
with Jack, even if their chemistry hasn’t quite been apparent as often as I
think it should. He’s off getting acquainted with Margo, who I do think is
helping him to get passed his wife’s death, and I do kind of like this pair,
Margo’s just too nice that something is kind of off with her.
I am curious, what is this
business of the first husband thing? Was that just a ploy to get the take down
of the evening, Busy, to cover up something for Emily? Or was she actually
married before? I definitely had a ‘what?’ moment right there. Twice. Please
let this be explained because it would pain me for it to not be.
Nolan was very good in this week’s
episode. I liked being able to see the pain behind his emotion to have not been
able to spend the last ten years of his father’s life with him. It makes his
character all the richer. There is so much depth to this character that his
humour almost makes me sad for him in ways. Also, can I just say how
unbelievable it is that Gabriel Mann is forty-one? The man looks like he could
still be in his late twenties, especially with this character’s eccentricity.
About the only thing that gives him away may be his veiny hands.
All in all, this definitely was a
filler episode, and nothing to be quite excited about. I’m finding myself
liking Sarah’s personality a lot more than Emily’s. Sure, her father deserves
vengeance, but the fact that she is so emotionally stunted makes it hard to
relate to her character. More so now than when this series first started.
Still, this series isn’t bad; it does bring forth a lot of drama. I’m just
really disappointed that Patrick’s no longer in it, his character really
brought more normality and life to this series, regardless of the fact he tried
to kill Conrad.
My rating: 6.5 out of 10.
Best Lines:
“I’m a Clarke.” – Charlotte states, owning the fact she’s
not technically a Grayson.
“No, no, I just meant I can put it in a nicer mug.” – Jack
tells Margo, regarding the question of whether the coffee will do for her.
Alright, that’s all for the evening. I’m going to go watch
more Buffy the Vampire Slayer and try
to make another big snowflake. Otherwise, check back in tomorrow for my reviews
of How I Met Your Mother, Bones, Sleepy Hollow, and The
Blacklist.
