Revenge 2x06 - "Illusion", 2x07 - "Penance" & 2x08 - "Lineage"
Hi, LJ. It's been ages, I know, but the good news is, I'm doing a bit better concerning my senioritis & time management, which means, LJ quality time! A proper update is on the horizon, but for now, I have three weeks' worth of my show to get off my chest, so bear with me. :D
I've contemplated doing a separate reaction post for "Lineage" since it's ( Read more... )

No, really, Revenge sometimes gets heat for having too damn many storylines going on at the same time, but I personally like to think of it as my show betting on its viewers attention span. ;)
I loved the Marco backstory; it shows so much of what Nolan cares about- he doesn't even know Emily then, he hasn't seen her father in years, but he values loyalty so much...
Goodness, YES. The scene where he fires Marco was such an obvious clash of Nolan & Marco's values. Nolan expects full understanding & support from the person he loves NO MATTER WHAT because that is the way he HIMSELF is. If something is important to the person he cares about, he will give it the benefit of the doubt. Marco, at the same time, was shocked & angry at Nolan for keeping something so big from him b/c he expected HONESTY in their relationship, especially since he's the CFO.
This is why Nolan only giving Marco the jumbled facts and not the whole backstory was a mistake. Marco put (a rather adequate, if I might add!) resistance, and to Marko's huge surprise, Nolan severed ties THAT VERY SECOND b/c if his partner undermines such an important part of him, he can't stay, even if that means sabotaging Nolan's own chance at happiness. <|3
He wants people to love him, but he wants people who will stand with him no matter what more than that, and he will go to the ends of the earth and beyond for that person.
ALL THE NOLAN FEELINGS. It's amazing, the way they established that come rain or shine, he will always choose EMILY.
By the way, Nolan's desire to be understood reminded me of his conversation w/ Emily over at Aunt Carole's, and the way she got it - his need to protect family. His faaaace. :') Makes it all the more special now.
Haha, Ashley's past as a hooker. I feel like there are Secret Diary of a Call Girl crossovers to be made here except it would make me sad if Bambi didn't live happily ever after with whatshisname.
OMG, I've seen the entirety of SDoaCG, but never made the connection! This is hilarious, and probably was a deja vu for Ashley. :D
I was convinced they already knew e/o as well, and eventually it started very reluctantly dawning on me that he doesn't know her - around the time he undermined her ability to take care of herself. Dude, it's the Russian mobsters who have to be afraid!
And yeah, that is weird that five years passed after Aiden entered the picture and before she got to the Hamptons. It's all very fishy.
Seriously do not get what is up w/ that. They dug out the specific Conrad/Lydia pics from the Pilot too for the purposes of that Takeda/Emily scene. ODD.
lol, there seems to be the never-ending competition between Vic & Regina for the title of the Most Evil Sunday Night Queen, and I'm glad to hear Victoria holds her own. :D
And oh, Conrad. Even wtih the present things happening I believe those two will love and loathe each other until they die.
I know! I loved how they established in the scene where Kara holds them both @ gunpoint that Conrad only framed David b/c he took Victoria from him. That was my headcanon all along, and it was nice to hear it confirmed on screen.
THIS SHOW IS THE SUREFIRE HIGHLIGHT OF MY TV WEEK NGL.
