I watched the second episode of Revenge live on Monday night, but decided to wait until I'd got around to seeing last week's Castle episode before posting. So, Revenge
Nick Weschler’s raspy, raspy voice. I’d forgotten, is all.
Further developments in the Hamptons, then. I wish they’d drop the flashback scenes of how Emily/Amanda dunnit, because they’re kind of unnceccessary given the significant looks at objects and the end results.
They really need to clarify that Victoria started her affair with Amanda’s dad a few years after the birth of her children, because I’m mainly clinging to them not showing biological incest on a US network show between Emily/Soon to be Dead. Although, yes, obviously, she’s manipulating him, whereas Jack (and Sammy) still have the power to cut her right where it hurts. Poor Nolan, wanting friends so desperately and wanting to be in on things. I don’t get how Amanda’s dad, in prison, could have funded him and he's company, but we’ll see, as we will with what happened with Victoria’s involvement in the plot against David Clark (which I still find amusingly ludicrous because of the TERRORISTS bit). I presume it's not going to be as bad as Emily/Amanda thinks, or bad in a different way. Declan is an idiot, but still didn’t deserve to be beaten up by the lunkhead’s friends. Good taste all round, Charlotte! And Jack and Declan’s father’s heart attack was very predictable.
In between, I went to see Men In Black 3, which probably wasn’t even on my personal top 25 list of sequels that I wanted to happen. I wouldn’t particularly recommend rushing to the cinema to see it (especially not if you’re thinking bringing an under-five-year-old to a 9 o’clock showing - that was optimistic), although it’s fine and quite enjoyable.
Castle 2.15 Suicide Squeeze
Baseball and Cuban-American relations don’t do much for me. It wasn’t hard to guess that Lara was the murder victim’s daughter, given Castle’s daddy issues (which raised an ‘oh yes, he’s never really talked about his own father' from me). I suspected Ray Wise’s character because of typecasting (which was avoided the last time I saw RW in something) and because his story about getting the guy out of Cuba screamed avoidance. I also suspected a woman for the portion of the episode immediately following the reveal about how he died.
I enjoyed the banter, as ever (including Esposito and Ryan) and Katic’s playing of fangirl!Beckett made up for the bad acting of Mr ‘As Himself’.
