A love-triangle is bad enough, but a story in which the girl loves one guy but he's married, so she's hooking up with the other dude who is in love with her but she keeps it a secret so she can marry yet another guy for revenge ON HIS PARENTS? That is effed up.<br /><br />And selfish. Daniel was a kid when his father blew up a plane for profit but when Fiancé-Barbie breaks his heart again next season, Conrad sure as heck is not going to feel a thing. <br /><br />And then there's death on this series. A lot of it, and most of it seemingly unnecessary. Padma, Helen, Declan, Trask, Takeda, Fake-Amanda, Tyler, Nate, Aiden... Wow, this is what I can come up with and it's already way too much. And I really really liked Padma and Declan, by the way. <br /><br />Can we all please stop pretending Revenge is a quality series with an intricate story? If it walks like a soap and talks like a soap, it probably is a soapseries. <br /><br /> Jolynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-58953739900660334902013-06-11T00:29:33.636-04:002013-06-11T00:29:33.636-04:00Your review was great and it reflected my own thou...Your review was great and it reflected my own thoughts about it as well. I think the end may also be my favorite scene of the series so far. It was beautifully done.<br /><br />I don't think the Padma tape is fake. If you remember, they told her before she was going to see her father, she was going to have to tape something- we were never shown what it was but obviously this is what they made her do before they killed her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-78057582772888224572013-05-24T13:14:45.523-04:002013-05-24T13:14:45.523-04:00I have also been kind of teetering on the edge of ...I have also been kind of teetering on the edge of giving up on this show. I loved first season, but this one has been so soapy and a little directionless. So this episode gave me hope for next season, I'll definitely give it another shot.<br /><br />Just wanted to let you know, Chris your reviews have been lovely, and I think you nailed this two-parter. I agree with pretty much everything you've said. Although I've grown very fond of Declan and Charlotte.

Nolan will hopefully be out of trouble with Emily's help.<br />Declan's death was very moving also. Hmm..Ashley was kinda fun at last. Maybe she'll improve..<br />Great review.<br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-1955157286311850052013-05-24T10:12:13.975-04:002013-05-24T10:12:13.975-04:00I really enjoyed this finale, as well.

I'd like to see the show focus on the whole revenge and identity thing more next year, and less on governmental stuff we don't understand.Pandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278058860653997977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-8265573856381841682013-05-24T09:56:02.065-04:002013-05-24T09:56:02.065-04:00I agree that they did a lot in this two-parter to ...I agree that they did a lot in this two-parter to fix the problems that the series has had this season. Lots of surprises. I was about to give up on <i>Revenge</i>, but this finale was strong enough that I'll probably be back in the fall.<br /><br />Terrific review, Chris. Thanks so much for finishing out the season for us.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
