Looks like it

Of course no-one can

stand near a railing without going over it

DeWitt · 22-10-2012 9:53pm

Starting to wish they never introduced Emily's mother. This storyline is boring me to tears.

poppet84 · 22-10-2012 9:55pm

So her mom is evil!!and tried to kill her!!:eek:

trendy88 · 22-10-2012 10:24pm

Jeez the mother is bat**** crazy! And Poor Fauxmanda, she's pretty irritating but still I'd hate to see her killed off. I guess she'll prob be in a coma for a while to come or something.

123 LC · 23-10-2012 2:00am

i'm liking season 2, i like how it's fast paced and there's shocks in every episode-despite how unrealistic these are (

amanda falling over the bannister when a check is pulled off her would be one :P

)

...it's classic soap opera stuff

squonk · 23-10-2012 10:31am

I'm not as comfy with the show this season either. I think this week's episode might be getting things back on track but

Fauxmanda's coma

just reminded me of the BS that got pulled in Dynasty and Dallas in the 80's. That whole sequence felt particularly Soapy. I kind of miss Victoria & Emily squaring off against each other directly. I'm still enjoying the show but it's not my go-to viewing in quite the same way it was last season.

Stevecw · 23-10-2012 5:20pm

It has lost its appeal for me too so far this season. Not too sure if i'll bother sticking with it for much longer. Pity as I loved season 1

FouxDaFaFa · 23-10-2012 5:23pm

They could have made a really good, really tight one-season show but there's this reluctance in American tv to ever do that.

I'm still enjoying it, to be honest. Once you embrace the old-fashioned soapiness of it (I actually rolled me eyes at the

coma thing

) it's good fun.

yeah I dont quite believe that...my thinking is that maybe

someone was after them and she was trying to hide Emily

squonk · 24-10-2012 5:01pm

Anyone else finding it's getting a bit strange at this point when Emily is using Amanda when she's speaking to Fauxmanda? Anyone else also having problems with the fact that Fauxmanda is being completley set up as the real Amanda, even in the eyes of Charlotte? It's kind of getting silly. Fauxmanda being introduced initially was great initially in that it was a means to an end and was all very tightly managed. Letting her linger on like a bad smell is just adding to the silliness of the plot this season.

I'll put it this way. Last season Revenge looked like a smart show for smart people with a nod to 80's soap. This year it looks like an 80's soap with a small nod to a smarter audience.

26-10-2012 11:49pm

Ive looked forward to this series but so far its a bit of an anticlimax tbh. The yanks being the yanks will take this otherwise decent series with loads of promise, down a mad road

If i was to bet who got Fauxmanda up the spout i would think Aidan the Brit after Mr Takeya took her off for her hiatus.

The Grayson's reminds me of the Irish Govt the way they weasel out of everything. I think Conrad is absolutely brilliant. A true villain. You would get the impression that behind all his greed and his self verification that the main motivational factor is to make his father proud

I would hope that that father and son team of rats trying to con Jack and Declan out of the pub will get their comeuppance. I think Emily will foil their plan and they will suffer big time.

I will stay with it but if it keeps veering off i might have to decide if i have better things to do of a monday evening (when i get to download it)

ejmaztec · 05-11-2012 11:56am

The story so far = a complete shambles.:(

JP Liz V1 · 15-11-2012 8:47pm

So Treadwell knows everything and agrees to go to jail must be expecting a big pay day or new novel ideas :rolleyes:

Not sure if Emily can truly trust Aiden

It's lost ALOT of traction and fandom since season 2 started, i think what people said at the start of season 1 was true....the premise only lends itself to a season, not multiple.

The takedown of the week was great but they had to drop that and stretch it out, season 1 was superb...it regenerated the soap genre, but this season has been woeful.

Bang on Fouxy....

123 LC · 17-11-2012 5:08am

i think i'm the only one here actually enjoying season 2 xD

Patty O Furniture · 19-11-2012 12:01am

I've only watched up as far as ep 6 but it's not back until the 25th, so i'll have time to watch the next one.
I dont know about the extra characters 'jumping the gun' springs to mind, as they dont add anything great to the story, as they're stretching it out.
Aidan feels out of place at times & sometimes the acting is stiff.
Kara Clarke is just creepy & lost at times & Fauxmanda

recovering after a coma, after falling of a bannister

There's not enough backstabbing done as it's been pulled back by lame stories, but here's hoping;)

mel.b · 26-11-2012 10:10pm

Just watched ep 8 and I'm feeling pretty 'meh' about the whole season 2. I think it has really lost its way

cloud493 · 30-11-2012 1:22pm

I've just watched the first episode of this, and..... does it get better?

Season 1 or 2?

If you didn't like season 1 ep 1 then you won't like any of it.

If you mean season 2 then unfrotunatley no

Season 2 has been the biggest let down...i really feel now it should have been a one series show. There has only been one ep so far in season two that goes backs to the roots of season 1 with emily getting revenge. The way it is going now Emily doesn't need to get revenge...the graysons are destroying themselves without her.

cloud493 · 30-11-2012 1:35pm

season 1. That one with the english accent is so annoying :mad:

Richard Dower · 03-12-2012 3:04pm

Oh! dear!....mideseason finale did not go down well on the interwebs.

Apart from a blip for the fourth episode every week has lost viewers.

Surely it's not too early to call it. Cancelled after this series ??

way too early, think its safe for a third season.

Aisling(",) · 04-12-2012 1:12am

I'm delighted Ashley is finally gone!I really really didn't like her and sure Aiden replaces her British accent perfectly.

I still like the show but I find the Innitiative stuff to be a bit confusing they always seem so vague.

04-12-2012 2:06am

If it goes to a third series i think ill give up on it tbh. Dragging the absolute sh*te out of it as it is and at the same time not really going anywhere with the story.

jordainius · 04-12-2012 2:30pm

It's starting to remind me of Prison Break at this stage- "the Company" was introduced and phased in to prison Break in the same way that "the Initiative" are being phased into Revenge.

Lets just introduce a shady power crazy covert organisation as a new foe for the protagonist in a bid to squeeze a few extra seasons out of a show. Prison Break was excellent until they deviated from the original intended two season story line of the show. They seem to be making the same mistakes with Revenge.

Actually; another mistake Prison Break made was to introduce a mother who had been presumed to be deceased all along, only to reveal said mother to be a psycho. Prison Break for a finish was a muddled mess of double crossing and people changing sides and so on.

Revenge can be saved if season two is the final season. A third season would kill it stone dead.

FouxDaFaFa · 04-12-2012 3:50pm

Yeah, the Initiative is pretty uninteresting at the moment and seems unnecessary. I don't want to be forced to feel sympathy for the Graysons because they're being threatened. The whole point of the show is that they are bad, selfish people who take delight in stepping on others to get what they want. Emily ending them would be the ultimate payoff. It's not the same if they are portrayed as victims.

21-01-2013 9:41pm

Anyone staying with this? Starting to really get confusing now. Ill stick with it until the end of the series but if they do s3 then its RIP Revenge.

FouxDaFaFa · 21-01-2013 10:55pm

The last episode was pretty good but I was disappointed with the outcome of

Aidan and Emily

.

JP Liz V1 · 03-02-2013 10:28pm

Funeral pictures

Looks like

FauxAmanda and Jack get hitched

04-02-2013 12:40am

God im getting worried this already ailing show could even take a further turn for the worst

I reckon it could be Conrad as Jack or Declan dont look too emotional. They look a bit casual about the whole thing. They would be more emotional if it was Fauxmanda.
If it is Conrad then the show is dead and buried imo. He is the ultimate villain. Absolutely brilliant actor

Richard Dower · 10-02-2013 8:31am

Back on tonight in the US.

trendy88 · 12-02-2013 4:28pm

The almighty initiative is a bridge too far IMO. I loved when the storyline was more focused on Emily and her quest for revenge. Its been going in a tangent lately.

TwoShedsJackson · 12-02-2013 6:18pm

Up to episode 13 in the US and my Lord the script dropped some absolute clunkers this week. Some of the worst acting I've seen on Revenge, and yet it remains bizarrely entertaining. Aiden really needs to fu<k off and die though, he is a god awful character and actor.

Stevecw · 12-02-2013 10:28pm

Have blanked out any spoilers...so is season 2 worth the watch?? I saw all season 1, and loved it. Season 2 worth watching?

mel.b · 12-02-2013 10:34pm

Season 2 imo is a huge dissapointment. I've stopped wasting my download limit on it and am waiting for rte to catch up.

Heard that from a few ppl, and now u back it up. In that case i prob won't bother with downloading season 2 so

Agreed. I've all but given up on the show at this point. There's very little hope of them turning it around for the better.

anotherlostie · 18-02-2013 11:36pm

I think since Christmas, Revenge is back on my must see list and I was ready to give up on it when Jennifer Jason Leigh appeared first (partly because I was anticipating a brilliant role and that didn't happen). Both last week and again this week, I've jumped watching a scene, and I was interested in Jack for the first time since S1.

Funny to see the new Helen is Burn Gorman, ex Torchwood's Owen. So between him, Aidan, Ashley, Daniel, they have four previously unknown Brit actors playing a part in the show - I'm just waiting for someone from Home & Away or Neighbours to turn up, and secretly hoping it's Dichen Lachman.

19-02-2013 3:01pm

Fauxmanda is a complete retard. Imagine to go back for a bloody necklace. Absolute fool. Savage looking bird though ill miss her terrible

If the makers try and leave it open for Season 3 they run a big risk.

It could easily get canned but then again the Americans watch the strangest things (Not that we are far behind them this side of the Atlantic in fairness).

Id be pretty sure that viewership has started to drop on a worldwide scale.

I love Conrad's character though. A complete weasel of a man but his dry humour is brilliant. A ruthless knieving b*stard but a tv show of that nature need these type of characters and the right sort of actor to portray them. Henry Czesney is brilliant. Hopefully he'll get a few bigger breaks after this show. I know he was in Mission Impossible and i cant remember seeing him in anything thereafter but he is keeping Revenge afloat in my book

Richard Dower · 19-02-2013 3:13pm

Its getting a 3rd season.

Yes I like him as well plus Henry Czerny has great chemistry with Madeleine Stowe

I didnt mind FauxAmanda this season, the character grew on me tbh

His line to Victoria in episode 1 of this series "So even the devil himself rejected you" was a absolute classic

Her character i suppose could be best described as a 'tart with a heart' but having the likes of her around whilst trying to seek revenge is risky business. An unbelievable dumbass. Nice to look at though

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?

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.
