Why does the obvious never addressed?

I keep thinking every time I watch any episode of the show. Victoria’s already gotten her eye-for-an-eye revenge when she killed Aiden for Pascal but she keeps saying that Emily started this. Also, when Victoria framed David Clarke, she buried his entire family. She got his wife killed, and got his daughter instated in a mental institution or something like that. That’s exactly her style. It’s so frustrating to listen to Victoria say time and again that Emily started all this and she went after Victoria’s family and she shouldn’t have. But that’s exactly what Victoria did to her why wouldn’t she go after them. And frankly with Daniel, Emily broke his heart like that’s an everyday thing which unfortunately happens to a lot of us even without anyone trying to take revenge. And nobody told the fact to Margaux that Victoria was the one who drove Kate Taylor to Amanda Clarke’s house which led to Daniel’s death. I feel so disappointed and so unfinished.

Also, for Louise, Nolan and Emily saved her life. I’m sure she could’ve gotten over the fact that they didn’t tell her part of their own lives that didn’t affect her in any way. Why would she just switch sides so quickly. It’s very frustrating!

Anyone else feel the same?

Season 2 question

I’m on season 2 and I’m so confused why would Nolan lose Nolcorp just by giving the Graysons, David Charles original check? Can someone explain that one?

Louise is the most annoying person on this show - anyone else agree?

There's something about her that really irks me. Her character really adds zero value to the show and it just feels forced on the viewers. It felt like the writers ran out of ideas and just threw her onto the show to fill in some empty space. Not to mention the actress who plays her has the most atrocious Southern accent....it feels overly faked and forced.

Emily/Conrad

Does anyone else weirdly enjoy the relationship Emily & Conrad have? Obviously it’s twisted/artificial to a degree, but Conrad has always had a soft spot for Emily and I’ve always enjoyed how he’s treated her in a way.

Why does Victoria hate Emily/Amanda that much?

I’m currently at season 4. Of course Ems did much to her - but even before that i had a feeling Victoria just doesn’t like her and i wonder why?

She didn’t like fake Amanda either so it’s just about her as a person and i don’t really get it

Jack Porter

Everyone seems to hate him. He is just a working class guy dealing with shit outside his wheelhouse. I may be especially empathetic to him because the actor looks exactly like my dad at the same age.

how does conrad find out about oscar chapman being alive

Hi!

I'm rewatching for the first time in ages and I'm confused about this. Nolan and Aiden find Oscar he agrees to help them and then Pascal kills him because Conrad sent him, what I don't understand is how Conrsd finds out he's alive

How much older is Nolan than Emily?

I just wonder, because they look the same age, but when David helped Nolan found his Company he has to be like 10 years older than Emily/Amanda?

Rewatch best pilot imo compared…

To The Vampire Diaries, Trueblood, The 100 and more.

Wow! Action, revenge, tons of main characters. Damn this one good show.

What do you guys think of the pilot. Mine would be action packed.

I don’t know how to feel about this ending…

After what feels like a year of watching this show (really 2 months) I’ve finished watching Revenge, it left me wanting so much more! Anyone knows if they’re coming up with season 5? lol

Also, I can’t help it but to feel bad for Nolan, poor guy never got his happy ending!!!!

Just binged “Revenge”Victoria is the hitler of the Hamptons person. I’d probably have trouble being nice to the person who plays her 😂

I love Victoria

After seeing how awful and evil her mother is to her, it makes sense why Victoria is the way she is and she is not nearly as wretched as her mother was.

Victoria isn’t perfect but she is way more family oriented

Edit: I’m only on S2 first watch, love was maybe too strong or a word but I am partial to understanding her - lol my bad

This is my first watch, but I already am obsessed. I’m on episode 4 and Victoria seems like such a formidable character

The actress plays her a little too well. The subtle mannerisms, micro expressions, and speaking with her eyes…… she is the perfect villain it’s almost scary.

Emily and Nolan’s relationship

I found it strange how no one questioned Emily and Nolan’s relationship. In the pilot, Emily pretends not to know him but half way into season 1 they’re publicly best friends. Considering Nolan’s connection to David Clarke, I assume someone would’ve put two and two together and figured out why Emily was so close with him. He was pretty much her only Hamptons society friend throughout the series.

Adding onto that, it was funny how Aiden and Daniel were jealous of each others relationships with Emily but never saw Nolan as a threat. I get that they were super platonic but it’s still weird to me how much they trusted him. Especially Daniel who knew nothing of Emily’s past.

S4, The ending and Nolan

Just had to rant about Nolan, many times in that season he talks about the "good old times" aka chaos of working on revenge then last episode says that this gave him purpose, and wondering if there's life after revenge for him. It's so weird, it doesn't make sense to me to even say that or think that. It's kinda psychotic.

I hate the ending. To me the perfect ending would be Emily & Victoria dying together, both their bodies on the floor with blood spilling out and the gun next to them. That was much more poetic, but of course we had to have the forced rship with Jack and a happy ending-ish (without David) and a wedding. I wish it was different ngl. Wasn't impressed.

Unanswered questions (S3-S4)

After re-watching revenge 10 years later, I have some unanswered questions :

  1. what happened to Mason Treadwell?
  2. why wasn't Amanda/Emily charged for at least the kidnapping of Charlotte (since it's how she took Conrad down), attempted murder on Victoria (finale)? Escaping from prison...?
  3. we saw David was staying in the dead prison guard garage thanks to the infinity carved on the wall, but we never had any explanations as to what the connection to that guard was
  4. Amanda also explained Malcolm Black's attack by saying she was David Clarke's daughter but the public doesn't know the connection between black and Clarke

I also thought the jump from S2 to S3 was very poorly done, with the initiative suddenly dismantled (but not Conrad) and with very little explanation as to how Nolan got out of jail (some encryption in the carrion program but...)

Regardless, still loved rewatching the show

Season 4 Ep 21 - Victoria’s Video

I’m sure this is probably just a plot hole but why didn’t Emily just show the police the video that Victoria sent her saying that she was going to frame her for her murder? It would’ve brought up some other questions I’m sure but at least it could’ve cleared up the murder charge

Birth certificate - Season 4

Maybe I’m missing something but how does having Amanda Clarke’s birth certificate prove Emily Thorne’s real identity. Doesn’t that only prove that Amanda Clarke was born? Which the world already knows lol?

Finished the show for the first time

And Im missing a few things…… Charlotte gets sent off to go be herself elsewhere in the world at the beginning of season 4(?)… Daniel dies and Victoria says not to tell her for reason then months pass and there’s various news clips on tvs of Daniel’s death, Emily’s outting as Amanda, then Victorias “murder” faking her death by blowing up the manor…. And charlotte comes back in the last 2 episodes and she’s never been told that Daniel’s dead… she probably doesn’t believe that victorias dead (she wasn’t) and charlotte as a character was pretty annoying but to bring her back and it’s not addressed and she doesn’t seem to care or grieve about anything….. yeah I don’t get it. It didn’t seem like they ever intended on bringing her back?

Also what the flip is jacks problem?????????? Go pet your kid or something youre never with Carl

Love love loved the show, Victoria and Emily are my favs. When Declan died I thought they were joking… they weren’t. I was hoping to see Lydia one last time sometime during the ending to spice it up…

Also don’t like david.
