Thank you for your kind words and I'm glad you're all enjoying my reviews (more than this boring season at least).<br /><br />I'm trying to have faith that somehow the show will rock again so let's wait until the season is over. Still, I can't get over what a pity it is that season two was such a disappointment compared to the masterful debut year. <br /><br />And Suzanne, I hate to say it...but SO.VERY. RINGER!

The whole bit at the ball, with the black/white mask, soaring music and Victoria pulling down the red cloth as she fainted made me laugh out loud. I'm sure that's not the reaction the producers were hoping for.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-75612771732878618862013-04-06T06:51:34.204-04:002013-04-06T06:51:34.204-04:00I also thought Emily only had been with Aiden late...I also thought Emily only had been with Aiden lately..She's only kissed Daniel so far, right? <br />I haven't seen the numbers for Revenge..I'm not sure if I'm hoping for a third season yet..<br />And Nolan deserves a guy/gal who won't lie to him..which probably wont happen on this show. <br />Anyway-great review, it's almost all that keeps me watching now. <br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-74464972718799904402013-04-04T11:00:30.735-04:002013-04-04T11:00:30.735-04:00I haven't been commenting for quite some time ...I haven't been commenting for quite some time as there were few things on the show to comment on... (yet you manage to keep your reviews insightful and interesting - well done, Nadim)<br /><br />I have a couple of disordered thoughts about what's been going on lately, such as:<br />1. 'Soapy' was my thought last week when it appeared that Victoria had another son; it was so the-bold-and-the-beautiful-y...<br />2. About Padma... Last week, when Aiden and Nolan found that box, I didn't believe even for a while that there would be Padma's head inside. Her death this week took me by surprise and although I never disliked her (hey, Nolan deserves to have his significant other, doesn't he?), I found myself completely unmoved. I just wonder if they killed her because of what Aiden did in Grayson Global. That makes sense, why else would they kill Padma on that exact day? I don't think Aiden and Emily are aware of that yet though...<br />3. Is it just me or is the show becoming more and more repetitive? Emily's get-together with Daniel, seeking a lost relative, Ashley's treachery - last year she conspired with Tyler, now with Jack (and I wouldn't be surprised if she double-crossed him)... Yawn.<br />4. The infamous Falcon... I'll be disappointed if it appears to be someone we *don't* know. But if it is someone we do know, then who could that be? I have no idea. I've been having some suspicious thoughts about Takeda, though. What do we really know about him? He's very rich and he runs some school of revenge. Why? What's in it for him? Was he harmed by The Initiative in some way too? How did Emily and Aiden get to know about him? There's so much we don't know about that guy that for me it's enough not to trust him...<br />5. That ballroom scene was really grotesque but also very enjoyable to watch.<br />6. I liked when Emily said to Nolan while comforting him: 'I'm not leaving you alone, Nolan' and he responded 'I love you too'. It felt so natural. We don't get to hear the L-word on that show often, do we? Especially now that Amanda's gone. I've been hoping for some time that Emily will say these to Aiden but I can't help but see that opportunity drifting away. They had a passionate one-to-one scene at the beginning of the episode though, so maybe everything's not lost yet.<br />7. One more observation concerning Nolan: now that vendetta against The Initiative became personal for him, too.<br />8. '[Emily]'s been sleeping with so many people lately' - who do you mean by that, Nadim? I don't recall Emily sleeping with anyone but Aiden for the last few months; I don't think I would miss something like that ;-) (well, there was that sequence at the beginning of 'Collusion' but I don't make of it anything more than a dream (as you wrote, too), especially given that she's been with Daniel for a short time and they decided to take things slowly - we barely could see them kiss). Poor Aiden, anyway.<br /><br />Do we know if there's going to be season 3? The title of two last episodes of season 2 ('Truth' part 1 and 2) suggests that it could be the end, but these titles sometimes prove to be very misleading... What do you guys think?

It began so well, but it has been falling into Ringer territory lately. I doubt I will be watching next season. What a shame since it seemed to have so much potential. I guess it was all an illusion like everything on this show is.Suzannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-68915095135888901072013-04-02T11:41:50.279-04:002013-04-02T11:41:50.279-04:00Very soapy as you said..gold acting stars to Gabri...Very soapy as you said..gold acting stars to Gabriel Mann for this episode..he made Nolan's suffering so real. I almost feel bad for being relieved Padma's gone now. But they really didn't handle her well. <br />So that's the end of Trask? I'll miss loving to hate his guts. <br />Loved the masquerade scene. Queen V rocked her outfit. <br />AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
