Television, 2.0
So, some new stuff has started airing...
SPOILERS AHEAD!!
Unforgettable: Sounds potentially interesting, centered on a former cop with a condition called hyperthymesia, which allows her to remember everything she sees and hears. Mother seems really into it, but I'll probably have to watch a few more episodes before I can really get into it.
Revenge: Okay, this show? Has me hooked. Seriously. A girl returning to her childhood home to wreck havoc on the people who destroyed her life and got her father convicted and in a seemingly non-slasher film kind of way? Very cool. Emily VanCamp is the star, and looking at her, she reminds me a bit of Rosamund Pike, you know, who played Jane Bennet in Pride & Prejudice (with Kiera Knightley as Elizabeth?) and Miranda Frost in one of the semi-recent James Bond films. The two just seem to have a faint resemblance to me.
Still, loved the opening scene with the engagement party which went to hell when the engaged guy is discovered murdered on the beach. From the look of it, Danny's murder is the climax of Emily's web of revenge on the people who destroyed her father, meant to target Victoria and her husband, who seem to have led the conspiracy against Emily's father. Apparently, Victoria and Emily's father were also having an affair at one time (or maybe Victoria was just luring him into the trap everyone set up to make him the fall guy?).
Whatever. This looks really, really awesome.
