Fug the Show: Revenge, episode 202


One of my favorite things about this show is that it is bookended with voiceovers from Amanda that are so Ponderous and Metaphorical that they make the VOs Chris Carter used to write for every Very Special X-Files sound as straightforward as a grammar textbook. I’m real fond of this show, but this episode was kind all over the place.

      Aaaah I KNEW I recognised him from somewhere! Wasn’t he the long lost McQueen brother who tried to kill them all in a church?

    I actually liked this ep better than the last, BECAUSE of all the crazy twists. I guess it just held my interest better, even if it would hurt my brain to really think about the logic. :P

    <3 your recaps/fugs!

    That wasn’t her mother in the awesome shades, that was Victoria! and the mother was let out of her restraints so she would be taken to an undisclosed location so she couldn’t testify. Still no idea why would anyone take crazy-restraint lady word for any admissible trial/terrorist investigation into evidence. BUT – REVENGE!
    This show is guiltiest of pleasures. And I am beyond excited to have Victoria back into her castle and right into her pencil skirts (she sure wears the hells out of those – yum).

    Love the recaps! LMAO

    JJL had intel that could exonerate David and muss up Victoria’s plans to marry/incriminate him. Also, Nolan was out of the house meeting with the suddenly important financial gal. (ps, LOVE that Nolan does calls dressed from the waist up.) I’m not sure about this character — she seems as suddenly sprung on us as the preppy ne’er do well who is likely setting up Poor Decision Declan for an arrest.

    Meanwhile, I would like to know why Emily doesn’t have a motion detector set up on her property to warn her when someone has arrived. For real, is there no crunching gravel/oyster shell driveway up to that house?! More people come and go without notice than is possible, not to mention, they use the backdoor instead of walking to the front and ringing the bell like a civilized person.

      I guess I was in part confused because…can Victoria really want to marry him AND incriminate him at the same time? I have the timeline confused a bit.

        I know, her motivations are quite muddled. I think there was some bit about Conrad blackmailing her after he found out about the affair. And/or they were being hamstrung by the Initiative to move forward with the incrimination or some such business. My memory is like a sieve, so don’t take this as gospel.

    So happy for the GREEK connection. That show was the best. Now, I need Emily to fall in love with Cappy and we’ll be all good. He’s gotta be a long lost Porter cousin with that hair, right?

    Every time I read “Clam Cam” I laugh, that is so cheesy great in a show that centers around – as you correctly say – a humorless sociopath.

    I love Nolan and his popped collars and lobster undies and if he’s looking for a place to live, I have an extra room.

    Once again, superb! I cringed and experienced second hand embarrassment for Jennifer Jason Leigh when she was singing in the car.

    For Emily being a trained bad ass she never actually gets to exact Revenge on anyone. She let white haired man go last season and then new accent guy has to save her? What?

      Yes! That is exactly what I was thinking, why go through all that “ninja training” if you’re just going to let everyone kick your tail?

    Does anyone else think that Daniel is just small fry and Ashley is actually after the big kahuna himself, Conrad?

    Nolan is out when the white haired man comes because Emily tells him to get out because she needs the house. And he makes some comment about how she shouldn’t be alone with a crazy killer after her and she smirks and says OMINOUS SOMETHING DONT WORRY I WONT BE SOMETHING SOMETHING OMINOUS

    I ♥ Amanda’s AWESOME voiceovers at the beginning and the end of every episode… They’re my favorite part!

    Revenge turning out like Pretty Little Liars is my worst fear!

    Isn’t Accent McNoName the same dude who was Emily’s ninja master’s sidekick? (Way too many possessives there)

    Please, please, please start always referring to Jack as ‘sad pub’ in the same manner that you called Henry from Ringer ‘sad sack’

    On closer inspection those appear to be seahorse boxers, not lobster boxers, which is slightly less wonderful, somehow.
