It takes one to Nolan.

I can feel it creeping up on me...the irrational desire to hate Revenge's Nolan just because the emerging fandom seems to think he's the awesomest awesome that ever awesomed

Last night's Grey's was pretty lovable, huh? Though I am missing Chyler Leigh- she hasn't so much as peeked her head around the corner since episode 2.

oooh, I hope you don't end up hating Nolan, 'cause I bet you could write some fic with him that I would enjoy! Anyway, I haven't read the fandom discussions about his character, but I like him because he's messed up. Jack is way too nice to actually sympathize with Emily, who is seriously messing up lot of innocent people's lives along the way. Daniel seems kind of thoughtless, but still pretty decent overall. Nolan seems to have that streak of ruthlessness that can actually get her. But still he was the one who made a comment to her about the family of one of her victims that she shrugged off.

You're probably lucky to be avoiding fandom discussions. I'm just getting shades of Logan Echolls... although Nolan is a little more socially awkward, and less abusive, than he was... in terms of how fandom is responding to the character, and it's a big bucket of "Do Not Want!" for me.

At this point, we haven't seen anything of Nolan that really interests me, and I think I like Jack precisely *because* he's a nice guy.

Maybe really what fandom is freaking out over is just Gabriel Mann.

Yeah, Jack is nice. I kind of don't want him dragged into Emily's disaster. I don't think they can realistically give her a way out of the situation when her revenge is "finished" and I kind of want them to go super dark and have her realize that. But then, how are they going to keep going with multiple seasons? oh well, I guess I should just enjoy the show and not overthink how they will end it.
