First time watcher

I’m watching the last season and I’m wondering wtf Margaux’s problem is? I get that she is upset and grieving, but first of all she knows who Victoria is and that she should be taken with a grain of salt. Second of all, the situation they were in had absolutely NOTHING to do with Emily’s revenge plot and everything to do with what David had to deal with from his past(that was the Graysons fault). It wouldn’t have mattered if Amanda Clarke was just Amanda Clarke living in the Hamptons, that guy would have come after David no matter what, not to mention Victoria sent Kate there. Lastly, Daniel almost murdered Emily. He sterilized her. She did actually love him once until he started turning into his father. Margaux needs to get over herself. I can’t stand her anymore. I used to think she was strong and clear headed. Now I think she’s rotten.

S4 Victoria

I’m in my first rewatch in AGES!

Victoria for the most part I’ve always thought was a POS, but my god! this tops the cake…

She has taken ZERO responsibility for Daniel - not that this is exactly new for her, when really she was the one who sent Kate after her - and Daniel truly was in the wrong place at the wrong time… but ffs of all the things she did this BETTER come out before the end of this. I don’t remember if it does though.

First time watching

I’m on the 4th season and Daniel just got shot and I am ugly crying over it and I don’t know why. I really hated him last season. I hated him so much. But then I caught a glimpse of the old Daniel. These two kids were raised by such hideous parents. It’s no wonder that they are so messed up. I loath Victoria and I even felt bad for her, sorta. I hope this show’s ending is satisfying. It’s been a roller coaster of emotions and some really excellent character development. Nolan will always be my favorite character though.

Peeping Ashley

That girl is the queen of eavesdropping as well as lurking around people's houses and watching through the windows (or open doors with windblown curtains partially blocking her view). One of my least favorite characters.

Emily's foolish choices in regards to Charlotte

I want to first clarify that I love Emily, she is honestly one of my favorite characters. But one of the things I love about her is how complicated and flawed she is, it makes her dynamic and interesting to watch. One of the things I often take away about Emily is that her circumstances have isolated her so much that his has detached her from normal levels of empathy. And while in the end she achieved her goal when she kidnapped Charlotte, it astounds me even still just how she chose the timing she did for revealing the truth about herself to Charlotte.

Charlotte has been through a lot! She lost Amanda, Declan, her unborn child, and even though things were so bad between them in the end she lost Conrad who consistently before was supportive of her (in some twisted way), and now she's barely scraping by because of her addiction and loss of wealth. And then there's the kidnapping...that would be traumatizing for anyone. It just seems to me that when she decides to jump off a rooftop and is thankfully saved, that does not seem like the day Emily should be revealing the truth about who she really is. To make matters worse, the way she presents this information to Charlotte seems so out of touch. This is a conversation that requires more depth of emotion, more connection. But Emily seems to think that smiling while relaying the basic truth of their blood relation to each other is enough to heal the wounds.

I always tense up in this scene upon rewatching because it's so awkward and painful. I can completely sympathize with Charlotte after everything she's been through. I wish we had gotten a little more time for their relationship to develop. I think when Charlotte knocks out Emily and catches the Stowaway on fire is reminiscent of how Emily was a bit of a pyromaniac in her youth. I never really hated Charlotte for what she did, I guess simply because Emily recovered and didn't begrudge her at all. It's an interesting dynamic because there is a shared ruthlessness between them, and we see that David is also capable of some shocking choices.

Anyway, just wanted to say this.

Margaux's revenge

At first i didn't really understand the hate towards Margaux, but know that i finished i get it and i agree.

Even after she found out Emily didn't shoot Daniel, she still wanted revenge and supported Victoria without knowing the truth. She started a Vendetta against Emily and at first i thought she was actually good, until Lyman Ellis who was the first person who died cause of her.

Just in some days of her trying to avenge Emily she was rensposible for 2 deaths (Lyman Ellis, Ben Hunter) (i feel like was one more that i don't rembember, but i am not sure), and so much harm to both Jack and Emily.

She continued say how terrible person Emily is, but at least she never crossed the line like that, Margaux literally hired an assassin to kill Amanda.

Emily wanted to avenge the people who wrogned her father by destroying their lifes and mostly was their careers, but just cause they did bad things that got out, they deserved it.

She wanted to get revenge for Daniel at first but by trying to hurt Emily it was like the bullet Daniel took for Emily was for nothing, since he wanted to protect her from dying even with his own life.

And in last episodes of season 4 victoria says to Margaux that they are alike and thats something Daniel would litterally hate it since he hated Victoria. If he was alive, i feel he would've been on Amanda's side.

In the elevetor scene was obvious he still had feeling for her even if she lied about everything and used him. The little things he would say to her like "we could've worked" or "you're beautiful tonight" at the bar, he tried to have a connection with her, especially cause he finally knew the truth and why she did what she did.

who Daniel loved more, Emily (amanda) or Margaux?

Hey guys, I'm currently on season 4, episode 13 and I was thinking about who Daniel loved more, Emily (amanda) or Margaux? I would say Amanda even though she hurt him a lot, I think he still loved her, otherwise I don't think he would care if there was any a it real. He also saved her, even though he was about to become a father. >!​!<

Who is the best couple in Revenge? [spoiler]

Out of all the couplings in Revenge, who is your favourite combo?

I'm rewatching S3 right now and had forgotten how cute Jack and Margaux are, especially when Margaux figures out Conrad is dangerous and they become a little team, protecting each other. It makes me wish Margaux was in on the whole thing as I think she'd be an awesome asset to Team Emily (I can't remember if she does find out or not).

Anyway, I can't remember how these two break up, but they're great together while they last.

What other couples do you guys wish worked out or stayed together?

Rewatching for the first time in years & have no one else to talk to about this show :') [spoilers]

Watched Revenge when it originally aired and got a random impulse to start watching again this year when i saw it was on Disney Plus. I'm on s3 now and forgot just how insanely ridiculous (and good) it is, haha :')

S2 and S3 are definitely a lot more crazy, daft and less believable than s1...to the point where it's practically laughable at times. But I've found that the more ridiculous it gets, the more I love it! There's something somewhat weirdly satisfying about watching a bunch of rich people in the Hamptons all running around like headless chickens, plotting against one another and nobody really ever being happy.

I had forgotten about SO many things - Victoria's rape, the shooting on the boat, the Daniel/Sara storyline, the Aiden/Niko storyline, AND Emily temporarily losing her memories. I'm just at the part now where Stevie Grayson has returned, Emily's living at the Graysons and she and Daniel are at war, she's also having blackouts, and Niko has captured Aiden. It is literally all just so crazy!! Even though I've seen this show before, I remembered very litte of s3, so am totally enjoying this ride. :D

These dates do not line up

I’m currently rewatching the show and I am trying to piece together timeline. Here is what I’ve gathered, from watching or Googling:

Flight 197 goes down sometime in 1993; sometime shortly after, David Clarke is arrested and Amanda is taken into custody and shipped off to juvie. Amanda is not released from juvie until she turns 18.

Assuming she’s roughly five years old in the flashbacks to David’s arrest, that wouldn’t be until 2006 at the earliest. The first problem occurs here, when “Emily” is photographed at Victoria Grayson’s 2003 New Years Eve party posing as a caterer. Only explanation is that she was closer to twelve years old when David was arrested, because she had to get out of juvie, learn the truth about David, probably reconcile with that fact, and begin her training with Takeda, all before the 2003 party. I’ll grant that this is still plausible, albeit unlikely.

However, if she was ten years old and got out of juvie in 2001, that would put her at about 29 years old when she moves back to the Hamptons as “Emily Thorne” in 2012. The second problem here is Sammy the dog. That damn dog would be 19 or so years old at this point, which is just downright unbelievable that he would still be kicking the way he is when the show begins.

There are probably more inconsistencies with the actual timeline of events but I’m only on Season 1, Episode 10 and it’s been eight years since my last watch through. If anyone is able to make this make sense, by all means, please do 😮‍💨

Rewatching for the first time after years

God I forgot how good this show was. I am currently rewatching for the first time since the shows original run and I just love every second. They really did Revenge dirty considering the fact barely anyone speaks about the show today. Everything fits and there are only a few things I can point out I don't like all too much. The writing is great, the cast is great, the characters are great, directing is on point and to be honest the show just knew what it wanted and when to end. Not overstaying its welcome is something Revenge does right compared to a lot of other shows.

Ages of characters

I’m a new viewer to the show, I’m on episode three. How old is Emily supposed to be? She look about 6 when her father got taken away, and Sammy was a puppy. But now she looks about 25, and Sammy is still alive

Any Shows with a “Revenge” Vibe?

Hey all! I’ve been trying to find a new show that hooks me the way Revenge did, but nothing quite hits the same. Any recommendations for shows with that intense “revenge” vibe?

Just rewatched the episode where Nolan saves Jack and Emily’s with Amanda as she dies. Why couldn’t they just tell Jack the truth that they were there that night? Emily found out they were in danger when she saw the photo on Charlotte’s computer so why lie about it?

I feel that telling the truth wouldn’t have affected Emily’s plans or put her identity at risk. The only thing I can think of is that the Grayson’s would have questioned why Emily and Nolan went themselves and didn’t alert the authorities instead.

Like father like daughter

I’m rewatching this series and I remember not liking David when he came back, but wow he and Charlotte are insufferable!! I’m not sure if this was on purpose but they are exactly alike: rash and easily manipulated. They both act like children.

I wonder if the writers made his character so unsympathetic on purpose. Emily has a throwaway line at the beginning of the season that after all that “torture” his mind was ripe for manipulation, but he wasnt actually tortured.

I think Charlotte’s character suffers being very young when the show started and never really growing up.

Grayson Manor floorplans

I found some really cool set plans of Grayson Manor (circa Emily Thorne era). https://www.flickr.com/photos/setdesigner/36740140723/in/album-72157686748079630

The production designer also has a bunch of other plans for the other sets like Emily's beach house!

How old is Nolan?

I’m watching Revenge for the first time…it only just occurred to me…how old is Nolan? He was friends with ‘Emily’s’ dad…obviously when her and Jack were kids…..but he’s ‘the youngest billionaire’….so I’m like ….how old is he supposed to be on the show 😂😂😂😂…

…side note: I hope Aiden and Emily are end game cos he’s finer than vanilla Daniel 😂😂

Nolan Ross

They should have made a spin off of Nolan helping people free their loved ones from injustice with Amanda and jack popping in with kids and what not.

Emily playing Aiden?

I’m in early season 3 and I can’t tell if Emily is playing Aiden or she thinks he’s endgame? I’ve always assumed Jack was endgame but it seems like she is more into Aiden?

I only watched halfway through S2 when it was airing. I literally just finished S3 aaand

this show is amazing! Whoa! There is high quality writing with multifaceted characters that actually evolve. Let’s see how this ends up and if I feel the same by the end lol but S4 is rolling as I’m typing and it’s promising so far

It’s not perfect and the acting can be wonky in a fun way but I think it’s aged very well. I also love knowing the leads are married and stuff.

That is all!

why don’t people like declan??

i am only on episode 4 season 3, but i just read somewhere that they wrote of declan because fans of the show didn’t like him?? apparently the actor was so upset about being written off that he didn’t even do an exit interview. i would say he’s one of my favorite characters on the show, so really why didn’t fans like him?

Charlotte is a really horrible character

I’m rewatching the show, I’m on the first episodes of season 4, and geeeeeeeeez Charlotte is definitely nuts. After everything she has been through I can get it, but yet every episode is getting harder and harder to like her.

S1 E1 @ 17:50 Lydia to Charlotte - "It's Important to me that you don't end up on Page 6 at one of Diddy's hot tub parties"

Was just starting a rewatch and this line stood out to me based on recent events. Was this one of those "we told you all along" scenes snuck in there?

Carl

Guys is it not a massive plot hole where Carl goes? It is once stated he is with his grandmother… Which grandmother though? Jack’s mom left, they haven’t seen her since then and Amanda’s mom couldn’t be found in order to attend her funeral but somehow is available to babysit? And even if she were, why would Jack entrust her with Carl after she tried to kill Amanda as a child??
