So Revenge has been back for three weeks, and it just kept getting better with every episode. I'm glad I finally have a chance to express my abundant feelings about it! This contains spoilers for the latest two episodes which I loved a lot

Wasn't Colleen kidnapped as a kid? So its been years and years. She's grown up and changed and Aiden is so desperate to find his sister that he's willing to believe that's her because she knows some things that Colleen would have known. That's my theory, anyway.

I think it might be because Nolan said that Carrion was missing a sequence that was "kept up here". So if the Initiative heard, they would kidnap him to find out what it was. That seems like a Revenge-y thing to do. (Nolan does get kidnapped a lot after all)

I doubt Helen spends all her time watching Daniel. She has lives to ruin after all. Its probably like an annoying soundtrack in the background as she does all her evil deeds.

I forgot about the competitive tetris thing...

I didn't know about the sacrifice thing. I don't really spoil or watch previews. Not that I don't want to, I just can't generally be assed, lol.

The casino thing is stupid. I vote the Ryan brothers off the island too. Or at least the evil one. The other brother didn't seem so bad. (I don't even know their names. :P)

EDIT: 'cause I watched the preview and if a loved one dies, my money's on Aiden... 'Cause I don't like him and he's getting in the way of Emily/Nolan.

It's an interesting theory! In this case, do you reckon the real Colleen is long dead?

Nolan does get kidnapped a lot after all

Goodness knows he does. There also needs to be an opportunity for him to show off his hours of training as he'll be escaping his kidnappers. ;)

Its probably like an annoying soundtrack in the background as she does all her evil deeds.

LMAO. It probably is.

They're Nate & Kenny, Nate being the evil one. ;) I wonder if Fauxmanda will procure the explosives to nuke the boat knowing the Ryans will use it to transport the drugs as they do... I mean she has no problem taking out the people who hurt her family... BUT SOMEONE ELSE WILL BEAT THEM TO THE BOAT THAT NIGHT. /drama

This is one of the few promos I watched this season b/c I didn't have the power to turn it off right after the episode aired, lol.

P.S. My money's on Aiden... 'Cause I don't like him and he's getting in the way of Emily/Nolan.

I approve of your reasoning, lol. There's clearly no place for both Aiden AND Nolan in Emily's life, so Aiden has to go.

No, I think Colleen has probably been converted and works for the Initiative (does anyone else think Buffy every time they say that?) I'm sure she'll pop up at a conveniently horrible time to manipulate someone into doing something that no one wants. She's a prop for evil and they aren't done with her yet. (Or if they are, then it was a very poor prop that finished unusually quickly... Which is the opposite of Revenge (as seen in Tyler), so therefore the Colleen storyline is not over. #mylogic)

I liked that when Aiden came up behind him (when they first met), Nolan fought back. I mean, he was losing, but still! Aiden's had years of training on Nolan.

I have no theories about the destruction of the boat itself. I learned after Fire & Brimstone, I mean Fire & Ice, not to bother guessing 'cause I'm just gonna be wrong.

I reject their reality and substitute my own. And in mine, Aiden dies in order to progress Emily/Nolan. #nods

Why, was there a similar storyline on Buffy? I'm afraid I'm the only person who hasn't seen more than a few episodes of the show. The Initiative actually remind me of The Centre from this badass 90s show The Pretender I used to be crazy about.

She's a prop for evil and they aren't done with her yet.

I completely agree. Much like Padma Nolan-wise, I think Aiden will have to make a choice between The Initiative & Emily, and Colleen might be a powerful motivator to go dark side. It's also possible that he might side with them to try & extract her from the inside and unwillingly hurt Emily in some way to prove his allegiance.

By the way, I was wondering that Emily has a good cover story of why she wants to take down the Initiative if they get wise to her meddling: together with Victoria she wants to protect the ~man she loves~ Daniel from their malevolent influence.

Nolan fought back.

YES, that was significant progress from the previous season where he literally shrank before his enemies. He also learned how to use a gun, as I mentioned in my review. It will be very emotionally satisfactory to see him fight off an actual enemy, especially if it will be in the name of saving Ems!

Fun fact: I tweeted one of the producers that it would be great if Nolan learned some martial arts (around the time he got hurt by Tyler) and they tweeted me back that it was a great idea, so I like to pretend I'm partly to credit for this awesome development. :D

I have no theories about the destruction of the boat itself. I learned after Fire & Brimstone, I mean Fire & Ice, not to bother guessing 'cause I'm just gonna be wrong.

That's actually why I'm shooting theories left & right, lol - I don't usually do that, but with Revenge, I love looking back and laughing at how epically wrong I was.

HIS SACRIFICE WOULD BE FOR A VERY NOBLE CAUSE.

[tenshinrtaiga]

They have an organization, also called the Initiative. But its a super secret military thing. Info here if curious: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiative_%28Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer%29. I never saw the Pretender so I'll have to take your word for it.

Agree! Aiden dying or Aiden becoming the bad guy... Both will further my Nolan/Emily agenda, so I suppose I'd be fine with both. ;P

Haha, it is completely your idea! The credit is clearly yours.

I have no theories to shoot. I guess we'll find out soon. Super excited!

[dreamingahead]

HA! That's crazy. I wonder if MK is secretly a fan of Buffy and decided to give it a nod. I get how constant mentions of the Initiative on Revenge must be taking you back. ;)

Haha, it is completely your idea! The credit is clearly yours.

CLEARLY. I have proof somewhere in my favourites & everything! I think I'll have my lawyer send them an invoice. :p j/k j/k

I guess we'll find out soon. Super excited!

Not soon enough! Is it February yet? I don't even want it to be February, my classes start back up again, but. REVENGE.
