Review of Revenge "Sacrifice": Finally back to Vengeance!


Alright, I don't do enough reviews or writing nowadays with my busy schedule, but I will take some time to write this one about ABC's night time soap Revenge. Yes, I freely admit it, I am hooked on the story and the raw emotions of the characters.

 

Basically, we got several dead people, a symbolic catharsis, and a complex storyline centering on revenge coming.

 

I won't offer you too many spoilers, but Emily is definitely not going to be the same after this fiasco. Nor do I think will Jack, who married Faux Amanda (

Damn that Bitch, but she gave up everything for Emily, too. I guess they are even now :(

).

 

On a side note, I have to say it, I hate Jack for being such a wimp, but if I am reading in between the lines correctly. I think Jack may be on the road for Revenge as well. He is going to go psychotic after learning the truth. I wonder if Takeda is going to start a satellite school in Montauk :D

 

Now Emily, poor Emily, she has lost her father, her lover, and herself at various points, but her heart was still beating strong. Now, I think she truly will lose her heart of gold and push herself to be ruthless and cold hearted bitch that she needs to be in order to get revenge.

 

Victoria is busy as well after killing Helen last episode. She has played her way around power, family, and revenge herself, but I still cannot understand her true motivations completely. Victoria is as much a mystery as she was last season. I still harbor the theory that Victoria already knows about Amanda/Emily's real identity from the start, which would make a great twist reveal as there are a lot of loose holes in the story (might just be standard Soap plot holes, but I don't believe so). Victoria is what makes Revenge pleasurable in a way that evil power hungry woman do on all daytime Soaps, but she has one other side to her. She really did love David Clarke and her heart is not the same as her words.

 

Anyway, Victoria plays housewife and spy, she is fooling the terrorist group with an elaborate array of lies to implicate Amanda as the killer of Helen. She cleverly fakes an argument with Daniel in order to keep it up.

 

Conrad is still his ego driven self with extremely crafty and murderous plots abound. While Victoria wanted to implicate Amanda subtly for the terrorists to kill her, Conrad was more direct and just wanted to kill her using hired guns. Conrad is far too direct and arrogant.

 

Daniel has basically lost all sense of morals and decency. I find him to be as culpable and irredeemable as his dad now with all the evil that he is indirectly involved in.

 

Last thought, Nolan dump the evil backstabbing bitch and hook up with a nice guy. I still think the girl will betray them and probably spill doom for either him or Aiden (As the only GLBT character on Revenge, Nolan cannot go). Nolan has been burned twice by guys and betrayed by woman, he needs a decent love interest.

 

Generally: 9.5 out of 10

Revenge is a good show, although I had not considered it to be a soap opera.

 

Do you really think Jack is a wimp?  How strong is anyone who has been shot in the stomach?  I'm not sure he will find out the truth about "Amanda" until Emily tells him; how likely is it that Amanda's body will be recovered?

 

As for Emily, she is already ruthless and cold-hearted, but she is the heroine.
