Celtic Heroes

I used to love Revenge. The plot involved murder, scandal, lies, terrorists and beautiful people who could afford summer homes in the Hamptons. Essentially everything I ever pinned to my dream board as a child. “Look,” I often said to myself as Emily Thorne framed one of her father’s former co-workers for a crime he didn’t commit, “dreams do come true!”

While I had no delusions that Revenge could compete with critically acclaimed shows like Breaking Bad, I enjoyed watching it every single week. In fact, it was one of the few shows that I made an effort to rush home and watch live. I couldn’t bear the thought of falling behind on Emily Thorne’s plan to bring down the Greyson family.

Yes the plot didn’t always make sense and yes I found Jack Porter’s infatuation with an 8-year-old girl he met one summer a little disturbing, but I went with it. For the most part, the show worked. They were writing their own rules (NYC is approximately 5 minutes from the Hamptons), but the rules all made sense in their world. I can handle that.

When first season ended with the discovery that Emily Thorne’s (or should I say Amanda Clarke’s) mother didn’t die as a child like she thought she did, I eagerly awaited the second season.

“Yes,” I fist pumped in the air, “this will be amazing!!!”

Then the second season happened and it sucked. Like I’m clinically depressed with how quickly it got bad. Mostly a drama can through at least two seasons before running out of plot lines and being forced to create inane storylines (see the fact that Seattle Grace experienced every possible natural disaster for an example). But I guess the creators of Revenge gave up a little faster than that.

Where do I begin with the madness?

Perhaps the fact that they brought Emily/Amanda’s mom back and sent her away without any kind of build-up. There’s that. There’s also the fact that I felt nothing for her character and never felt any kind of connection between her, Amanda and/or Emily. I think they maybe could have stretched that plot a little further — possibly made it less about Gordon and more about Emily struggling to reveal her true identity to her long-lost mother.

And speaking of mothers, we have Amanda. Why oh why is there a baby on the show now. Babies are the worst on shows! Especially when they’re delivered after their mother gets daytime-soap-opera pushed off a balcony. What was that? And how did she have NO broken bones? SHE FELL ONTO A MARBLE FLOOR AND WAS SURROUNDED BY BLOOD!! At least give her a finger splint.

So yeah we not only have a baby now, but we’re also getting into incredibly soap-y territory. I’m all for heightened drama, just not when it’s falling off a balcony after a big reveal.

Another thing I’m not for? Any of the drama surrounding the Porter’s bar. They’re great characters for our leads to interact with when it’s necessary – but I just don’t care about them enough for them to get such a huge plot this season. There’s just no need for someone to be working on a revenge plan on them too. Especially when the revengers clearly didn’t attend the ultra-exclusive Revenge Academy.

Also, Jack, try googling people before you make them your business partners. That’s a simple business tip from someone who’s never owned a business. Nolan’s not a computer whiz, he simply turned one on and typed in a few names.

Last but not least, I hate all the business talk this year surrounding Nolcorp and Greyson Global. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON. While Emily certainly snuck around last season, I always felt like we were on the same page. Now I just feel lost in all the talk about stocks, investments and board members.

I don’t like feeling stupid when I’m watching TV — and this season of Revenge makes me feel like an idiot. I’m constantly pausing the show to figure out who knows what, who’s working together and what the hell Greyson Global even does. To be honest, I’m not even sure I understand what Emily’s plan is now.

Oh and I know I said last but not least, but I lied. I hate “the initiative.” It’s stupid and it can’t possibly live up to its reputation. What the hell can it possibly be that it controls so many people around the world.

So in conclusion, I’m over Revenge. Sadly, I’ll probably keep watching it, but I won’t enjoy it. Not unless they get back to the original formula where Emily worked to avenge her father.

You should rephrase this. The top clan is revenge, this should be in off topic. 100% useless

I'll fix my points later. Getting a headache from so many words..

That thing wizzing above your head was his joke.

Lol

Okay, I believe I figured this out.

After some major thinking..

When he says he used to love Revenge, that's basically it. He was either in it or looked up to them..? Not sure exactly..

Murder - arena killings maybe?
Scandal - err.. A scandal, I dunno.
Terrorists - ksing maybe?
Beautiful people who could afford summer homes in the Hamptons. - rich people.
Essentially everything I ever pinned to my dream board as a child. - His/her dreams in CH when he was a child (AKA low lvled)

While I had no declusions that Revenge could compete with the critically acclaimed shows like Breaking Bad, I enjoyed watching it every week. - Something about Revenge competing with Breaking Bad (AKA Awakening, at the time) blah blah blah.. He/she enjoyed watching the competition.

Then the second season happened and it sucked. Like I'm clinically depressed with how quickly it got bad. - Referring to the fall of Awakening and the rise of Loyal, I'm guessing.
Mostly a drama can through at least two seasons before running out of plot lines and being forced to create inane story lines. - I'm thinking this is trying to say that a clan can only resurrect once before it's dried out and forced to create seperate clans, leading to it's ultimate demise.
(See the fact that Seattle Grace experienced every possible natural disaster for an example.) - This, I'd guess is something to do with United and the reasons leading up to its demise.
But I guess the creators of Revenge gave up a little faster than that. - Creator of Revenge and United AKA Amna, something..not going to say much more because I know I'll be yelled at for it.

Where do I begin with the madness? - referring to ksing, ranting, bragging, arena killings, etc.

..but we're also getting into incredibly soap-y territory. - Sounds like accusations, or.. Something like that.
I'm all for heightened drama, just not when it's falling off a balcony.. - He/she doesn't mind a bit of drama, but not when it goes overboard or overkill.

Another thing I'm not for? Any of the drama surrounding the Porter's Bar. - I'd guess Porter's Bar is referring to the arena, as that is where a lot of the drama is as well.
There's just no need for someone to be working on a revenge plan on them too. - Just throwing it out there, but in my mind this refers to threats against others as a clan or as a person.
Especially when the revengers clearly didn't attend the ultra-exclusive Revenge Academy. - referring to the fact that not many players in Revenge abide by the rules.

Oh and I know I said last but not least, but I lied. I hate "the initiative." It's stupid and it can't possibly live up to it's reputation. What the hell can it possibly be that it controls so many people around the world. - Arena.

So in conclusion, I'm over Revenge. Sadly, I'll probably keep watching it, but I won't enjoy it. Not unless they go back to the original formula.. - He/she plans to leave/ignore Revenge, watching the things happen and not enjoying them at all. Hoping that it will go back to how it originally was.

Alright, that's all I got.
