    They're both idiots IMO.
    I was actually hoping Jack was going to die, instead of Fauxmanda though :(

    But you're right, that kind of stupidity, coupled with that desperate kind of craziness, is a dangerous thing.


    I dont really mind Jack though. He is very contrasting as the hardworking man of good morals against the greedy, ruthless, unscrupulous and corrupt Grayson's who are morally and ethically bankrupt.

    The casting could have been better for Fauxmanda but hey i shouldnt complain as Margarita Levieva is a proper babe :)

    Conrad is the best character in this show.

    Its getting a 3rd season.

    I was just about to ask this question, excellent news.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,263 ✭✭✭DeWitt


    Finally there's hope this season might turn around for the better. Bring on vengeful Emily!

    Isnt it Amazing :rolleyes:
    Jack never copped that Emily is his childhood friend Amanda and yet the new foster brother twigged it within 10 seconds

    Id honestly have to draw a diagram at this stage to figure out what exactly is going on
    Between the Intiative, the foster brother, the 'falcon', Padma, Aiden..... and where they all fit in, its just becoming mind boggling at this stage

    He is fantastic. Madeline Stowe(Victoria) is excellent too but Conrad is the star of the show. I hope he gets more work out of it he deserves it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,486 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Not keen on the new foster brother


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 11,362 ✭✭✭✭Scarinae


    Is Jack that stupid himself that he would believe his blonde Caucasian childhood sweetheart whom he rather sickengly fancied before either hit puberty would grow into a woman of Latino origin?

    I read somewhere that she's Russian in real life

    I'm glad the foster brother has disappeared. Interested to see what will happen with the new Victoria storyline... Did anyone else find the whole thing with the masquerade ball a bit silly though? How could they possibly coordinate it so that
    Victoria would glimpse yer man with the black rose and then have him disappear, with Aidan in his place?

    Shame about
    Padma, I was starting to like her

    There's only four episodes left in the season now...

    So is Aidan really Victoria's son?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭Alfred Borden


    Too long of breaks between episodes! Next episode isnt for weeks!

    Very true. Gas thing is its more compressed then series 1.

    32 weeks between the start and finish of the series vs 35 weeks span in season 1.

    It drives me mad to watch a US series tbh having all the stop-starts and tbh i was having trouble staying with Season 2 up to now.

    Ive a feeling
    David Clarke is probably part of this initiative when all will be revealed whenever this show will end AND he'll be still alive

    MAJOR SPOILERS for the season 2 finale - YOU ARE WARNED!

    Guaranteed a third season btw, its down on last season but still pulls in strong numbers.

    :eek: showrunner/creator/producer stepping down......i think alot of people have said this about Revenge, 22 episode seasons are way too much and season 2 has suffered alot:

    I hear Kelley, who created the cult CBS drama Swing Town before taking a crack at a female-driven contemporary take on The Count Of Monte Cristo with Revenge, had been lobbying for shorter seasons for the heavily serialized drama. From the get-go, he had argued with ABC and ABC Studios that Revenge was much better suited for cable-style orders instead of the standard broadcast 22-episode seasons. After a fast start, Revenge was moved into the high-profile Sunday 9 PM slot last fall though it has been uneven creatively. I hear the pressure to churn out 22 episodes a season while maintaining the quality has taken a toll, sometime causing tension on the set and ultimately leading to Kelley’s decision to move on. He just informed ABCS and the Revenge cast of his decision. “Mike Kelley created a distinctive series for our studio and network with tremendous passion and dedication,” said ABC Studios EVP Barry Jossen. “We wish him all the best as he moves on to his next television achievement.”

    thought i would never say this but im finding Revenge boring now. there was more action last season, now its like more of the same.:)

    This show has definitely jumped the shark at this stage. It should have been a one season show. Woman shows up, systematically destroys rich family. It would have worked well.
    But in an effort to draw it out, we have ridiculous shadow organisations, magic computer programs that work on anything, mysterious syblings popping up from nowhere.etc.. I mean emily has been farting around at this stage. Whens the last time she actually DID somethinto the graysons?

    Somebody that bitter and seething wouldnt just stay living there indefinitely having tea with these people.

    Posts feelings on show. Finds out show creator agrees with him. Mind is blown. :P

    I think they overestimated how much folk care about these caracters.

    Last season, you were getting bang for your buck each episode. It was that brainless payoff that i tuned in for.
    This season is more like a day time soap where nothing really happens.
    I couldnt care less about obvious time filler; Jack and his vendetta, Nolan and his angst re Padma, Eli and his revenge, the falcon, the initiative, aidan and his dead sister (got over that sharpish)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,850 ✭✭✭FouxDaFaFa


    The show creator bailing is a really big deal. I understand completely where he's coming from and wish him well. American networks are brutal for putting longevity and profits before the writer's wishes.

    Th eoriginal takedown-of-the-week was brilliant tv!....they way Emily took down those guys in those first few episodes was brilliant. But then it got a back order.....they changed the killing of Daniel, first mistake....then stretched things out.

    I think many us said at the start it should have ben a one season and done deal.


  • Registered Users Posts: 155 ✭✭aine1980


    Agree with everyone re s2, it seemed like it took more of an effort to watch, even now I don't think it would bother me if I didn't see the last few episodes of the season


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,486 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Yes it is becoming more far fetched this season like Prison Break as another poster pointed it out :p but yet I'm still watching :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭Alfred Borden


    great episode last night, similar to season 1! Looking forward to season finale in two weeks now!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,654 ✭✭✭jordainius


    I'm still a fan but a third season will kill it stone dead. Two seasons in and it doesn't feel like we've gotten any closer to the actual "Revenge".

    Had a chuckle at one or two bits tonight.
    Imagine the whole Grayson empire could potentially be taken down over the Falcon losing a game of Street Fighter 2
    :D
    Oh and the Falcon is hot imo

    New showrunner found, keeping it in the family...he knows the show so: http://tvline.com/2013/05/03/revenge-season-3-sunil-nayar-named-showrunner/

    Might have been safer if
    Taketa challenged Aiden to Streetfighter 2 instead of an actual Samurai sword fight
    :D

    Lucky Declan.
    Id gladly be locked in a building with her for the night

    That was yer wan from Falling Skies, super cute :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,669 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    Thought the whole falcon thing was tidied up a bit too neatly last night, she was supposed to be the nest hacker in the world yet she completly fell for Nolans plan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,245 ✭✭✭sofireland


    Judging by how she acted when the lights went off id say she played nolan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,850 ✭✭✭FouxDaFaFa


    Yeah, the code she had him find was obviously the trigger for the virus. I would have expected it to work the minute he logged in, rather than waiting for the money transfer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,486 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    If Charlotte is really preggers I wonder could the foster brother Eli be the daddy and not Declan

    Aiden beat and killed Takeda :eek:

    Season 2 finale tonight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,486 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    It has officially been renewed for a 3rd season

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,151 ✭✭✭rovoagho


    Is the 2nd season of this worth bothering with or is it more of the same, like Damages? The 1st was a bit of fun but unless the formula has changed I'm not sure I want to bother.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,962 ✭✭✭✭dark crystal


    Wow, now that was a finale! Brilliant stuff.

    The truth finally dawns on Jack, Emily gives up her secret, Declan becomes yet another Grayson casualty, Aiden may or may not be dead and Victoria's long-lost son finally makes an appearance (I'm guessing he's the guy in Takeda's photo...). Fantastic episode from start to finish.

    Can't wait to see what happens in season 3 now. Poor Nolan always seems to get it in the neck :(

    TBF you have 11 posts in RTE Pace thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,788 ✭✭✭tvnutz


    This thread probably should have "US Pace" in the title like most other Us pace threads,someone not familiar might assume it is based on Irish pace,especially if they haven't seen the RTE thread.

    Glad Emily told Jack who she really is, they could only drag that out so long. Poor Jack has gotten screwed the most, Nolan tends to take the brunt of it as well!


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Ohhhh that Conrad is a slippery eel! :) Great he is back for series 3. He is just like Nidge from Love/Hate in a sense that you are almost rooting for his knieving skullduggery and the show would be at an awful loss without him.

    I'm assuming that Daniel killed Aiden so. Did Aiden sell out Nolan to get out of jail or did they trace the programme back to Nolan?


    I have to say apart from the paleness, Declan looked the most unscathed and healthiest bomb victim i have ever seen :rolleyes: Thankfully ive never been had the unfortunate experience of the devastation of the aftermath that a bomb does to those affected nor do i wish to neither but i'm assuming they wouldnt be sitting up in the bed talking normally and smiling as if they were just going into hospital for a routine bunion removal. That said, im open to correction on the matter but i would hazard a guess he would be a bit more immobile then that especially if it had damaged his vital organs.

    Victoria knew immediately her son who she last seen as a baby :rolleyes: Amazing he could just walk up to the door of a high security mansion like that and just ring the bell :D A total stranger. Emily seems to come and go as she pleases also.

    Speak of the mansion the lawn is savage. I think as children, when we all treated our backyards as if it was Wembley, etc; it is hardly to imagine that its a reality for some people. Bloody hell the gardener should be headhunted by Premier league clubs. Its quite a sight.

    As for poor old Jack. Oh Jack, Jack, Jackie Jackie Jackie :rolleyes:....surely in gods name you had some inkling that the girl you used fancy the arse off a mere 17/18 years ago would more than likely grow up to be caucasian Emily Thorne then foreign looking Amanda Clarke.. I mean c'mon now Jack think about it....and put that gun down ffs or you'll injure yourself.

    The big question i would have is whether David Clarke is alive or not. I reckon he is still alive personally
