Overall and finale 'Revenge' thoughts
So I've never actually posted about Revenge. But in an effort to feature more in my livejournal than 99 posts about The Vampire Diaries and 1 post about ... not The Vampire Diaries, here are quick overall thoughts about the show, and the finale in particular. I've actually watched this one from the beginning and quite enjoy it for the campy,

Oy. This show. Is so, so, so ridiculous. It's so bad, it can actually be awesome on occasion. Often unintentionally, but still.
Hahahaha! I have a few people on my flist who watch this and they just love it, love it, love it to bits. Analyzing, seeing bigger pictures, character arcs, stuff and how it's all beautifully playing out and evolving (basically how you are about True Blood, while other people think about TB exactly the way you described Revenge. And the way I am about The Vampire Diaries, and I can't fathom anyone not seeing how awesome it is!). It so is to each their own. Totes the truth there.
For me, I don't think it's amazing, but obviously I like it enough to write about it. I think it's pretty good overall actually, not great, not anything I'd go gaga over it, but I mostly do really enjoy it, and clearly think it's a better show than you do. :nods:
I actually buy the shadow conspiracy because to believe that Victoria/Conrad -- an all-American, rich, shallow couple -- would be secretly funding a terrorist organization so powerful that they were able to bring down a plane? Is it a bit ridiculous, and it was always presented as a tiny bit nebulous, so I totally buy that there were always higher-ups pulling the strings, and that they just played Victoria and Conrad and they just stayed one-step ahead living their carefully constructed lives.
The dog, I'll give you. So should not have been that spry and all that.
The supposedly devious people that spent their entire lives cunning others, falling like flies for the equivalent of "hey look! your shoes are untied!"
Trust me, working in a police department, reading reports and what-not, OH MY GOD! THIS IS SO REAL AND NORMAL, it's frighteningly sad. Really, THIS is how so many people commit crimes. FOR REALS!
The ridiculous Kill Bill-style Japanese sensei who preaches detachment to Emily yet gets his own hands dirty with murder
I don't think you got what he was telling Emily. The problem he had with Emily is that he needed her to be detached so that she COULD kill, so that she COULD do the terrible, awful things when she had to without getting emotionally involved. Which he was right for her revenge scheme, because -- OH MY GOD! she should have killed white-haired dude! While I liked how she walked away, after everything she had told him?! Dude, so not a smart move there, Ems!
