Revenge Season 1: Episode 21: “Grief” “This is getting creepier and kinkier by the minute.” According to the Kubler-Ross Model of Grief there are 5 stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. And after last night’s episode of Revenge, I’m finding myself in the anger stage. I’m grieving the death of this show. It has gotten really bad, really fast.   But enough of that, you see it too, so let’s blow through this...

Revenge. Legacy.

Revenge Season 1: Episode 20: “Legacy” “Expose the truth and shame the Devil.” Well, last night’s episode continues the decline that was my favorite show; what is hot in fall, is cold in spring. The snow on the Hamptons matches my feelings for this show; it has gone cold, weak, silly, and has lost all sense of development. Last week, we were given a clue as to the grey-haired man that killed David Clarke....

Revenge Season 1: Episode 19: “Absolution” “Absolution is the washing away of sins…”  Well, I need a bath. Last night’s episode, despite its terrible writing and taking a turn for the super-soapy, wasn’t half-bad. We are done with the trial, people are tweeting #OccupyDaniel, Emily is now on the hunt to find the man that killed her father, and Victoria is going to bring down her husband. Oh, P.S. it’s snowing in the Hamptons...

Revenge Season 1: Episode 18: “Justice” “Justice, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Some see an innocent victim. Other see evil incarnate.”  I feel like last night’s Revenge episode came about this way: Interior – Revenge‘s Writer’s Room Mike Kelley: Alright, Daniel’s in jail… the audience knows he didn’t kill Tyler. They know his family will get him off, let’s get rid of this whole charade. Writer 1: Well, last episode we...

Revenge Season 1: Episode 17: “Doubt” “That girl might just be Grayson material after all.”  After last week‘s crap, I was really looking forward to last night’s episode, and I went in with high expectations that I knew wouldn’t be met. It’s like going to a Whitney Houston concert (it’s not too soon, get over it) and knowing it was going to be a complete trainwreck, and it was even worse. That was last...

Revenge. From the Beginning.

Revenge Season 1: “From the Beginning” Last night, ABC duped us. They duped us into thinking there’d be a new episode… since it really wasn’t — there are no grades — just a recap and a rant of the crap that was my 10-11pm last night.  Last night’s episode of Revenge – if you can even call it that – reminded me of my childhood memories of Chanukah. Every year there was always something...

Revenge Season 1: Episode 16: “Scandal” “We should’ve gone to Paris…” Yes, Daniel, you should have. But then we would have had a split location show and those never work. Last night on Revenge (which by the way, ABC – can we please stick to a schedule where this show is ON every week? It’s getting confusing to know when it is on and when it isn’t…) we pick up where last week’s episode...

Revenge Season 1: Episode 15: “Chaos” “Blood will always be thicker than water.”  That brick you’re looking at is the one you sh*t during last night’s episode. If last week’s episode was a nuclear bomb, this episode was Armageddon. I mean, how many twists and turns could be in one episode? This was like a seventeen-layer cake, and I’m a fat kid with a big appetite. We start off on Labor Day (sorry, last...

Revenge. Perception.

Revenge Season 1: Episode 14: “Perception” “Perception is reality.”  If Iran is looking for a nuclear bomb, they should get to the Graysons, cause dem bombs were falling all over the Hamptons last night. All I can say about last night’s episode is WHAT…THE…F**K? Last night’s episode was fast and furious. Amandily’s plot of revenge is unraveling; Nolan got tickled by Jack’s declaring him a ‘friend’ and out flew his allegiance to Amandily; the Real...

Revenge. Commitment.

Revenge Season 1: Episode 13: “Commitment” “Just when one storm ends… another one is right on the horizon.”  Everyone’s got commitment issues, mmm k? And last night’s Revenge was full of them. We watched the continued demise of one commitment (Victoria and Grayson) and the rise of another (Emily and Daniel) all while rain fell — perfectly, from rain machines — all over the Hamptons. I gots my pen. Let’s grade (Oh, and no...
