Revenge, Season Finale

[lyssie]

Thank goodness a season two is already in the works.


WELL PLAYED, SHOW, WELL PLAYED. Amanda's mother being alive? NOT something I was ever considering. And at least it vaguely makes up for killing Victoria (SHOW, THAT WAS SO WRONG. I wanted her to find out Emily was Amanda! UNFAIR, SHOW). I honestly can't feel anything over Lydia's death, because I never really liked her.

Declan was already on my "dislike" list, but this put him even further down on it.

Also. Emily should have killed that dude, and I'm disappointed that she didn't. OMG I DO NOT CARE ABOUT HER DAD AND HIS LUV or whatever. Because with him alive, he was able to murder V and L. And that's just wrong.

I am highly disappointed that Emily and Charlotte continue to not have any interaction (disappointed, as in pissed off). WHY DIDN'T CHARLOTTE CALL HER?

Also. Will C find out about E? Will they join forces?

It looks like Ashley and Daniel will be in bed together soon.

And how about the stupid cliche of Amanda being pregnant with Jack's baby, hrm? I actually don't mind, as the True And Pure Love of Emily/Jack never rang true for me, and I really really hated it. But now there will be this whole complication in his life. I just hope it's something Amanda wants. (I am expecting the normal route of "you have to love me now I'm having your baby" bullshit, tbh)

It does make me sad how much dudes continue to do shit, though. Conrad needs to die soon, ffs.

I...don't think Victoria's really dead? Like, I know they reported it but I think she faked her death, somehow. It just makes no sense to kill her when she's arguably the 2nd most important character on the show. Charlotte...I don't think she's dead, either? If I had to guess, I'd say only Lydia and that SEC guy bit it. But who knows?

SO glad Faux!Manda's not dead so she can continue to have ALL the eye-sex ever with Emanda. Less thrilled about the predictable pregnancy but...at least she's still alive?

Conrad should've died, tbh. As should the White Haired Man. I was SO pissed when Emanda let him live. This show isn't about mercy, it's about REVENGE, darn it!

Anyway...Also bitter we didn't get an 'Ashley's secretly working with Emanda' reveal. Or that Jack didn't learn the truth because he might be somewhat interesting if he actually knew what was going on. Declan can die. I was willing to forgive his ridiculousness because of his age but he lost me in this episode. I would've rather kept the dog, tbh :)

I would like to think that Victoria's alive, but I don't know that I'd appreciate being yanked around like that, either.

I'd rather find out the writers trolled us all by faking her death than have her actually be dead. Same with Charlotte, tbh (though I think most people assume she survives?) which is apparently an unpopular opinion with the majority of fans. A good number of people are hoping Victoria lives but most people hope Charlotte doesn't. I just...yeah...it's a good thing I never interacted with the general fandom, based on their Charlotte and faux!Manda related comments. Not to mention many of the Daniel/Emanda fans and their opinions on Ashley. *rolls eyes*

I liked the scheming - both of not!Emily and Victoria. And I loved that not!Emily always gets what's hers and creates her own story. Although, I wish she killed that guy too but you know - protagonists cannot kill people in cold blood and stay good. Not even bad people. Something that really annoys me in superhero comics. I wouldn't mind Conrad dieing either but he was there to help Charlotte and that is a good enough reason for him to leave.

I have a suspicion that Victoria didn't board this plane. Especially since we learned from that movie she knows much more then she told the agent and she knows about the white haired man and mrs. Clark. I think she was on the whole explosion thing and lured Lydia there on purpose. I have a feeling it's part of the plan to get rid of Conrad without destroying the company and she planned this with the WHM. He said he wanted to get rid of Conrad too.

not!Emily/Jack never really rang true to me. There supposed to be that great love just because they knew each other as kids and shared a dog. But he doesn't know it's her and he was so obsessed with not!Amanda he spent months looking for her all over the country and suddenly they are meant to be together forever because the dog died? I actually ship him and not!Amanda. They seemed happy together and not!Amanda deserves happiness.

I don't care about Declan (would this story really change if he, and Jack for that matter, were to move to different town and never heard of again) and I would say I stopped caring about Daniel since he got personality transplant but it's not as if he ever had a personality.
