Uh... hello? Just wanted to let you guys know the show's been back for three weeks now; curiosity took the better of me and I can report that the writers have reached a new, terrible low. Secondary cast did dumb things while the fake french wannabe-revenger did dumb lovely things. She was then hit by a cab while standing still in a mostly empty street. In broad daylight. While wearing a bright red suit. It's beautiful, but don't take my word for it.



She obviously lost dead rear end in a top hat's spawn and proceeded to lie about the whole thing to Stowe so Mamma Revenger can finally have a reason to join her fellow cast members in the doing of dumb and/or lovely things.


TL;DR: writers' room spy cam footage: :shrek::shrek::shrek::shrek::shrek::shrek::shrek::shrek:

Margaoux or whatever is just so boring and I don't care about her dumb pointless revenge at all. And this is coming from the only person in the world who likes and cares about Jack.

I'd say the timing is about right, and it sounds like there's going to be at least a reasonable sense of closure.

Timing would have been right three seasons ago, but at least it'll be over soon.

Stowe's exit was way overdue and yet they still managed to make it dumb; hoping the finale goes all-out crazy with the soap and they bring her back toothless for one. last. REVENGE.

I really, really liked this show in S1 and S2, watched S3 but wasn't really into it, and have only seen maybe two episodes of S4. I do want to see how it ends, but should I watch all of S4 or just wait for the finale?

Emily outed Victoria's crimes on national television, effectively destroying her reputation. Victoria responded by concocting a plan to frame Emily for her murder, and then executed the plan by actually blowing up Grayson Manor with herself inside. But not before leaving Emily a smug video message from beyond the grave.

"Hello, Emily, and gently caress you. My masterplan is complete and you will now be going to prison for my fake murder. Even though I'll be dead and so will never actually witness your misery, at least I know you'll be rotting in a cell for the rest of your life. Which, uh, means you'll have years to prove your innocence, but, uh... no one will help you because I killed or turned everyone you love against you! Wait, did I forget to do that? Still, with only your Taken-type spec ops killer dad, your billionaire hacking genius best friend, your hunk ex-cop and his lawyer mom to fight for you, there is no hope! I win! Hahahahaha *video self-destructs* "

Wow, that's dumb. I stopped watching a while ago, around season 2 I think, because the show was just becoming more and more like Passions, but without the charm. May watch the finale though, just to see if Emily moves to Alaska to become a lumberjack.

Bzzt. Victoria and David lie in graves, Jack and Amandemily boat away to nowhere and she sets Nolan up to be The Equalizer or some dumb poo poo, but she continues to relate her story as some kind of cautionary tale even though she got to marry her boyfriend and give him a dog so they can go live on a boat without a dog. Oh also Ems and Vicky shot each other and Charlotte comes out of loving nowhere to say Emily can have Victoria's heart to stay alive because OF COURSE THEY'RE A PERFECT MATCH

When Emily/Amanda and Jack kiss it's like a sister and brother making out. It's kind of gross and they have no chemistry. I was really hoping they wouldn't end up putting them together in the end.

I have to say, given the crazy turns the show had taken (and it's season-or-so overstaying of its welcome) that was about as good of a series finale as I could have hoped for. The heart transplant thing was pretty much the perfect capper to this insane show.

Hard to say I'll miss it, but I generally enjoyed Revenge while it was on.

Hmm, do I bother watching the finale? I loved season one of the show, Declan and Charlotte aside, and was determined to stick it out to the end. Then the loving ninjas, conveniently brushed aside miscarriages, coming back from the dead type poo poo really ramped up and even British hottie couldn't hold my interest. I've read the spoilers and it does sound hilarious though.

I've worked out that there's no easier way to kill a show than to have some shady, super secret government agency lurking in the background. It ruined this show, and the B12 whatever nonsense also caused me to give up on Scandal.

"The Syndicate"? Oh no that was just a throwaway boogeyman, they turned out to be four guys Conrad hired to make scary faces and pad the script.

If Victoria's actual father is the old horse man that raped her then why does Patrick look more like Charlie Day than Charles II of Spain?

This is the best answer. It was all something Declan something saw in a snow globe he was shaking. Then Aidan shows up, rips it out of his hand and uses it to cave in both of their skulls.

This show was terrible and shall be missed by no one. Highlights of the finale include Jack and Amanda banging in the house where Ben was murdered two days earlier. Also, incest. Why they felt this revelation was a worthwhile addition to the show I'll never know (or care enough to find out).

The show really, really should have been a collection of Revenges. Have the Revenge Sensei be the common thread, maybe with surprise guest appearances from previous Revengers to help out during :asoiaf: moments in the following seasons. Tie everything up in the penultimate season finale, where everything seems fine until the Sensei gets brutally murdered by the ultimate rich rear end in a top hat - Zombie Conrad sponsored by BP and the Koch Bros - leading to the the show's endgame: All-Star Power Revengers. Series finale takes place in Zombie Conrad's moonbase, obviously.

Yep.

I think this season could have really done more with Daniel and killing him off in the first several episodes was a mistake. He could have been a better plotline than using his baby to fuel Margaux's pettiness.

Horrible season. They should have not killed of Conrad too. He was such a good villain. :(

As soon as they turned Daniel from the sweet, slightly gullible guy into another cookie cutter villan Grayson, I was done. Margaux was awful too. I hate when shows like this suddenly introduce some random childhood friend or some poo poo and we are supposed to find them oh so exciting and instantly get invested.

The title of this thread reminds me of Gene from Bob's Burgers singing 'revengarine, revengarine' while playing the tambourine. Wish I could remember what episode that was.
