Fug the Show: Revenge, episode 203


Someone on Twitter pointed out that EVERYONE on this show except for Madeleine Stowe has started talking in the Christian Bale Batman growl. I know every single character is boiling over with vicious, viscous hate for everyone else, essentially, but CLEAR YOUR THROAT, GUYS. Or start shipping in Riccola by the ton.

    Don’t judge me people, but on slide 19, at first I totally read: ” The victim says he won’t press charges…but he will eventually come to them with a favor, which will obviously be of a foursome…” hummmn…
    I’d totally watch a Sidney Bristow coming to Emily’s for some tea, spending a “revengey” summer in the Hamptons, and sharing a room with Nolan while talking about cam-whales and some spying stuff… That would be awesome!!!

    First, these recaps have been awesome. I laughed out loud at the Tri Wizard Tournament. Second, totally agree that Nolan is amazing and was disappointed at his lack of appearances/action in this episode. Third, I actually like Charlotte’s black and white dress, especially with the purple belt.

      Chickadee, you and I are revenge-recap twins. I did/do all of those things too! More Nolan please. And I am the only one who misses last season’s hair?

        Nope, I’m with you two on all of this as well! :)

          Let’s not forget a memorable post by the Fug Girls about Nolan on the cover of “Layering Quarterly” magazine. I was peering at his collars to find the missing layers. We need more Nolan and many, many more layers.

    I started giggling the third slide in when I noticed all the different ways to spell revenge and didn’t stop. Great recap Girls!

    “How is it possible that this show is already so freaking confusing and it’s only season two?”

    YES. THAT. Ugh. Sigh. Look, I love me some crazy, particularly Revenge’s brand of it, but lately I can’t even keep up, and that’s a problem when it comes to my “guilty pleasure” TV.

    That said, yeah, I actually kind of liked/felt bad for TRET in this ep. She seems to genuinely want to turn over a new leaf, and does she not deserve some peace and happiness, a family, at long last?

    EVERYONE is stupider this season. Last season, Nolan was a brilliant young businessman. This year, it turns out that he is actually not…? I hate this plotline. I also think Aiden is so so boring.

    Ha! I tweeted the same thing about the Tri-Wizard Tournament Sunday night — seriously, a maze in which her competitor pretends to be hurt? I agree that everyone seems to be a bit slower on the uptake this season, but the fashion and styling seem to be a step above. One thought I had watching Sunday night was I’m sure Emily VanCamp is tired of the boring buff-colored manicures she has to get for the show. She needs to be shown a good time.

    No need to watch this when we have these much more entertaining recaps.

    Some thoughts: Your alternate spellings of Revenge are hilarious and I’m sue that’s how some new parents decide how they will make their baby name unique. “M’Kaiela? No, McAyllah!” Also, Declan is Elvis Costello’s real first name, and Dick Grayson was Batman’s Youthful Ward.

    Watching this episode, it kept throwing me when someone would refer to “the Initiative.” Did I hit my head and wake up watching Buffy?

    WAIT WAIT – did we learn that Jack really *is* the father in this episode? I thought those results were faked. DID I MISS SOMETHING?!

      Last week, Emily told Amanda she faked them, but she also told Nolan that Jack was actually the father. So Amanda THINKS they are faked but the faking part is fake. I think.

        I really need to stop multitasking (read: drinking wine) during that show.

          I am SO with you, Carolyn! Take your attention away for two–OK, twenty–seconds, and it’s curtains for continuity. That said . . . was it revealed how Victoria managed to escape from the plane before it exploded? Because I may have missed that too. Or maybe the writers did. And is anyone hoping that the utter stupidity being displayed by Declan means that the producers are planning on sending him to juvie for the remainder of the show in an episode or two? And is there a valid reason why Emily is suddenly treating her best bud/cohort, Nolan, like dirt under her fingernails? And yes, Jessica, that MUST be the old flight recorder because how in hell could WHM have gotten his hands on the one from the more recent plane crash–especially since it was a government plane as I recall. Did he just happen to be on the ground at the exact spot? Or does the FAA have the most incompetent inspectors on the planet? All in all, not a promising start to this season, IMHO.

        I’m really starting to feel terribly sorry for Amanda (the fake one). Emily lied to her about paternity, Jack treats her like crap and she had to wear that ugly maternity dress.

    What did JJL do to her face? Was it bad plastic surgery or bad lighting? She was just on Weeds a couple of years ago and looked fantastic. She does look like she is in good shape.

      She has that weird thing where sometimes she looks totally fine and other times she looks like she had weird work done. Two Face, as Jerry Seinfeld would call her.
