Thank god I'm not the only one enjoying the shit out of this.

[SyNapSe]

Good to see it's picked up for full season.

[Larson Conway]

Only up to the 3rd ep now, and I think the show is crazy good. I'm loving the VoTW (victim of the week) format. Already I root for Amanda all the way. Please don't replace her with a new central character by Season 2.

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Oh damn, shit just got real.

Now that Frank murdered Lydia, and Nolan and Emily both know (though everyone else will assume suicide), I wonder how her plans for revenge will change.

[Clevinger]

fuck, I love this show

I wish I could binge through the whole season

[thestopsign]

Just started watching this show. Already better than I was expecting.

[The Storyteller]

Show is getting so damn good.

fuck, I love this show I wish I could binge through the whole season

Oh god yes, it's definitely one of those show you could just marathon in a couple sittings.

[Larson Conway]

While Revenge is my actual new favorite show (!!!), I think by episode 5, the hidden camera expose of the week's already gotten old. New ways to get Revenge, Ms. Thorne! Episode 2 in particular (investment firm ep) was just wondrously solid and genius.

Spoilers for latest episode:

Well, it wasn't Emily who planted the camera - it was Nolan. And presumably they'll have great difficulty in actually using this evidence against Victoria's thug (whose name I've forgotten). They can't prove he pushed Lydia off the balcony, only that she fell after struggling with him (as that wasn't caught on camera and all you hear is her scream). Plus it raises the question of how the camera got there, which would incriminate Nolan - whose fingerprints will probably be found somewhere in the flat.

I was quite impressed that this week Emily didn't actually manage to ruin anyone. Emily covered her tracks before Lydia could reveal her, Victoria stopped Lydia from revealing whatever she would have divulged about the Graysons' involvement in the plane crash, and Lydia was essentially her own undoing.

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Anyone else get the feeling that Daniel's friend is a complete and utter psychopath? I get that feeling.

Edit: He's totally Tom Ripley, right?

[Shadow780]

Everyone's smile is so forcibly fake! It bugs the crap outta me.

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Everyone's smile is so forcibly fake! It bugs the crap outta me.

I've noticed that, haha, particularly among Victoria and Emily.

But then again... it makes sense.

Okay, 50 minutes into the episode, I've decided that Tyler is the one who shot Daniel in the pilot. He's got some weird psycho thing going on. Plus, I had read that Tyler wants to be Daniel. He's got Victoria wrapped around his finger. Tyler actually creeps me out the most out of anyone on this show.

There is something about Emily that is so off-putting to me. She's pretty, but... I dunno.

Oh, Frank saw Nolan. This will not end pleasantly for him, I'm sure. Gun!

Ridiculous how blind everyone is to Tyler except for Emily... who likes like the douchey one.

I think the guy that gets shot in the pilot is Tyler. (But as long as it's not Daniel, I don't care who it is.) Tyler is psycho though, but he is making the show even more addicting with his shenanigans. Poor Ashley. :(

I'm still not feeling Emily & Jack at all. I felt like this sudden rush of emotion that Jack displayed seemed really forced. I know he was semi-manipulated into spilling his guts, but I don't think they are a good match. I think Emily & Daniel are way better together, but I don't know if Emily can ever really be with someone. Is she too far gone?

Oh, and even though I've really warmed up to Nolan (I HATED him in the pilot), the way he ditched Emily at the party after Frank confronted him was lame. He shoehorned himself into Emily's plot despite her protests, and now he's bailing because he was sloppy? C'mon Nolan. :/

Apparently next week's episode is a major game changer. Various sites have been hyping it for weeks.

[Larson Conway]

Everyone's smile is so forcibly fake! It bugs the crap outta me.

Except when Emily's around Jack.

I loved Emily and Jack's scene at the party. Feel so bad for Jack, but more so for Emily. Damn, Van Camp is a Class A actress. She's got this smile, they look the same, yet they feel different, depends on the people around her. She's scary in that way, actually.

And no matter how terrible she is for ruining people's lives (albeit deservedly), I root for her so much. Hope Frank dies.

I LOVE THIS SHOW.

[Marius_]

I knew Tyler was like that, I mean who wouldn't next to Daniel

[985boi]

holy shit wtf?

[Gunloc]

Wow, they were not kidding when they said tonight's episode would be amazing. This show is incredible.

Every storyline was firing on all cylinders. Even though I hate Declan, even his plotline with Charlotte added to the episode.

Nolan is amazing, and I'm totally on team Emily & Daniel.

[ivysaur12]

Okay, I think I've only seen the first 4 episodes. Is this "bad-good," like 90210 or Gossip Girl, or does it get legitimately good?

[charsace]

Starts out rocky in the first 3 eps then gets seriously good.

[Gunloc]

It's legitimately good. It obviously has it's soapy elements, but the plot line keeps twisting and turning and the characters aren't one dimensional villains/anti-heroes.

It's the best new show this season by far, and I would highly recommend it. Episode 5 is when things start to turn away from the weekly "take down" format and things really start to heat up. And tonight's episode (episode 7) just brought things to a whole other level.

I know I'm gushing a bit, but it's really that good IMO.

[magnificent83]

Its funny, just when you think certain people are innocent, they turn around and surprise you. Wasn't expecting Ashley to go along with Tyler's plan and I bet the real Emily Thorne is going to be all about lining her pockets.

At this point, I wonder what deep dark secret Jack is harboring or at least will be. Doesn't seem like there are any squeaky clean protagonists
If they stick with the two revenge storylines in a season, should make for some tight stories

[Replicant]

Okay, I think I've only seen the first 4 episodes. Is this "bad-good," like 90210 or Gossip Girl, or does it get legitimately good?

I feel it gets better each week.

If I have to compare it to soaps, it's more like "Return to Eden" (an old Australian soap) where a woman destroys her enemy one by one after she was left scarred and half death by her enemies.

[Shadow780]

Computer geek is gay? mindblown.

If you don't like the first four, then don't bother with the rest.

[The Storyteller]

Loving this show so much.

Computer geek is gay? mindblown.

Bisexual (Kinsey 3). So is the other guy.

[Pollux]

I hope tyler gets murdered by someone.

[Gunloc]

Revenge up in the ratings. :D

If you don't like the first four, then don't bother with the rest.

Well, episode five makes a big change in the format of the show, so I think anyone on the fence should at least watch through that one.

[ivysaur12]

If you don't like the first four, then don't bother with the rest.

Most shows change dramatically from their pilot, even in the first few episodes. I liked it, but the praise it's been getting here seems to outweigh my experiences with the show in the first three episodes. Which then sparked my curiosity.

Well, I see you like Ringer. If you like Ringer, this show should be right up your alley.

[ivysaur12]

I liked the pilot enough, not necessarily the rest of the show. But I have sort of a special place for any show with SMG, so that's that.

[OmniGamer]

Wow, this episode was delish...

Tyler's "H-h-h-how you doin'" was a bit telegraphed with his feelings of jealousy/possessiveness with Daniel, but still fun to see...but Nolan? Loved his whole "i'm about a 3 on the Kinsey scale" bit. Part of me wonders if he's just being "gay4gain" for the sake of leverage, but i'm sure he actually is enjoying it as much as he is using it to his/their advantage.

Btw maybe it was the lighting, but Nolan looked more ripped than I'd have expected...I pegged him as skinny/scrawny, not lean/defined.

Frank digging and digging and digging until he eventually carves out his own grave?

The real Emily Thorne coming into the picture?

All of that and you give me C.C.H. Pounder too?

Best episode to date for me!

[anaron]

I expected it for Nolan. He was incredibly bothered that Jack didn't like him in the pilot.

[OmniGamer]

Yeah I gathered that too, but considered it to be some kind of bro-ship thing, combined with his lack of any real friends in general

[Spotless Mind]

This show is amazing and not even in a guilty pleasure way anymore. It has completely defied all my expectations and surprises the hell out of me each week. It's so deliciously fun watching Emily cold bloodedly own all these scheming assholes.

Green screen has been very noticeable the last few eps. The dock scene with Declan in the latest was hilariously bad. Also, i hope Declan dies a painful, gory death. Only part of the show i outright dislike. Charlotte at least has the redeeming value of supplying Victoria with some deliciously evil put-downs.

BOOOO!!!! at copping out on the Nolan/Tyler kiss.

If you can sit through Ringer, you should definitely give Revenge more of a shot. It's the kind of soap/thriller genre show Ringer wishes it was.

I tried watching Ringer for SMG, but she brings absolutely nothing interesting to either role she plays. She's unbearably dull (as is the rest of the show).

Disagree. It's a lot better than the first few episodes. Revenge is better though.

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Amnesia? Seriously? Seems like an easy fix. For the moment.

[Nobility]

I think I know how this is going to end but I'll wait it out.

LOL amnesia.

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

For a second, I thought they were gonna do a sexual vibe between Emily and Amanda, but then it went all "Sisterhood" on us. Which is cool too. Interesting to see the prison warden really aiding Amanda/Emily in her quest for vengeance... I wonder what's her angle in all this.

Awkward conversation between Victoria and Amnesia-Lady.

[985boi]

Just realized that the actress that plays the real Emily Thorne is Margarita Levieva.

[Shadow780]

Everybody's gonna do everybody at the end, regardless of gender.

[Larson Conway]

Just finished episode 8. I got so stressed watching the whole thing. This show really has an effect on me. Sooo good. Quick thoughts:

• I hate Amanda Thorne already, ugh
• And fuck Tyler sideways
• Ashley you conniving bitch -- where'd that all come from?
• Nolan becoming a very likeable character last few eps
• Feeling so sorry for Queen V right now
• Jack and Daniel didn't make an impact this ep
• Charlotte and Declan, who? Still don't care
• Rooting for Emily Clarke all the more now; fuck all the people out to ruin her

[thestopsign]

Still amazed how good this show is, and how few people here on GAF watch it. We need to get the word out haha.

[ZephyrFate]

This show is seriously fucking good. I also enjoy the loads of homoerotic undertones between characters in the show. Too bad Daniel's gonna die before he can get in on it :(

[Gunloc]

I still don't think it's Daniel that gets shot in the pilot. They obviously put the hood up for a reason (probably to give them some wiggle room) and I'm pretty sure it's now leaning toward it being Tyler.

Anyway, good episode tonight. I love how all the characters are getting intertwined in each others' lives, I hate it when shows only let the same set of characters interact with each other. The twists just keep coming.

And the stunt that realEmily/fakeAmanda/Kara pulled tonight with Jack.... Yikes. Girl is here to play.

[985boi]

Lots of good stuff on this article and intereview about Revenge, warning though its a bit spoilerish: http://www.aoltv.com/2011/12/07/reve...camp-victoria/

[Gunloc]

This show is amazing.

Also, dat preview.

[ZephyrFate]

I hope Tyler does because Daniel is way too hot to die.

[Larson Conway]

Scheming blonds back together, yay! Another great ep! Tyler GTFO!

[thestopsign]

Still can't believe that no one else is watching this show. It really is continually gripping.

[G0523]

JUST watched the latest episode. It's hard to continue from the Tyler-substory since that was pretty epic but this episode made me drop my jaw when it was revealed that Charlotte is actually David Clarke's daughter at the end. Cannot WAIT for the next episode!
