For all those that have yet to
watch tonight’s episode of Revenge,
entitled ‘Secrecy’, now would be a great time to do that before reading ahead.
This is not a spoiler free blog. THIS
REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! You’ve been warned.
Well, that wasn’t that bad of an
episode at all. Quite a number of things happened that were deeply intriguing
plot twists, as well as character twists. Going in I was worried that Emily
wouldn’t figure out a way to split Daniel and Sarah up, being that they are
much better suited for one another than Emily and Daniel, but she did end up
pulling something out of her hat. We
all know she isn’t actually pregnant, but the situation did cleverly fit all
the little clues she left behind. I will definitely be interested in what way
this ends up going in the long run. We do know Emily ends up being shot, but
I’ll be curious to know if this faux pregnancy fits into where she was shot.
Another big character comeback
this season, in the way of the formerly thought to be deceased Lydia. Someone
just tell me that Victoria knew Lydia was alive. I suppose we won’t know until
the next episode, but I certainly hope that she does, otherwise her being alive
makes little sense. I am curiousity to see how this character return develops.
The previews made it into Lydia seeking revenge, and by how it appeared, it
seems she seeks it against Emily. Can someone clarify if she had a reason to do
that? I haven’t watched the first season of this series since it aired, and I
watch quite a number of series, so I can’t quite recall if Emily did anything
to Lydia.
I’m really seeing the Jack, Emily,
Aiden kind of love triangle more this week. Sure, Jack is with Margaux, but he
obviously does still care a great deal for his childhood love. Once the fake
death gets cleared, something will have to continue this series, so I doubt
Emily’s going anywhere. These two men have a great deal of passion in them when
it comes to Emily, so I hope this continues on going forward with the second
act of this season because I’d love to see more of it.
The whole addition of the bachelor
pad for Grayson men was a bit on the ridiculous side. It doesn’t surprise me
that they would have it, but it felt like Conrad was leading up to something
more interesting than a place he brought his mistresses. Also, I’m just a tad
bit surprised Daniel would think to use it so soon – he’s not even married yet.
And hadn’t Sarah said she wouldn’t go any further until Daniel had broken
things off with Emily, but suddenly there is a woman settling in for the night
as well? I find that a tad bit much.
Overall, I quite enjoy this soap
opera of television. I do wish that Emily would be able to show a little bit
more of a range of emotion, especially now that she’s faking pregnant, because
her character is a little dry for my taste. While I am hopeful that she finds
satisfaction in her revenge scheme, I find myself not being quite as intrigued
by her character as I am the rest. Someone please tell me, though, that this
series ends with people finding out who she is. The big reveal at the end of
the series would be great because I think that’s what a lot of people stick
around for. Oh, also, I have to say that I loved Emily’s hair during the bridal
shower, not the dress, but the hair was gorgeous.
My rating: 7 out of 10.
Best Line:
“I am on the rebound, so, bitch, don’t kill my vibe.” –
Nolan explains to Aiden.
All right, I’m off to watch Almost Human now, so check back soon for that review.
