What with her blackouts and all, Emily Thorne becomes a seriously dangerous hell-bent menace, and, off she goes, knife and all, to go do old Conrad in. I'm sorry, REVENGE fans, don't you see? Even if her mission is just, this is not the way. The character is a loose cannon in need of an asylum. One deranged chick. Okay, so Aiden dunks her head in a tub of ice-water and voila! she remembers her Dad yelled at her when she caught him, ahem, in flagrante delecto with the Dragon Lady, er, Victoria. So she has secretly been harboring resentment and this is the cause of recent failures to complete... Aw, blah blah blah and above all, bah! We have to swallow this claptrap?
I rest my case. Another episode that, WHEN YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT AFTERWARDS, doesn't make ANY real-world sense. Character motivations overlook what had gone before in previous episodes, and people act as "this week's scriptwriter" pulls the strings of the marionette.
Yes, yes, there is quality to the whole thing, it is well done. It is the story-line that is a quagmire of convoluted, far- fetched plot twists and add-on characters.
It seems it is possibly goodbye for now to Patrick. What a waste of a guy who has the clear potential to be a co-star, but this character, bogged down by so much past history. Last week Victoria and Patrick became murderers, never bloody mind that they killed a bad guy (we never even saw that on-screen, by the way, so what the hell? we only have Victoria's related version), they are murderers, no question.
I remember during the Old Days I watched shows people loved cocking a snook at. Well, at least MELROSE PLACE only had mad little bomber Kimmy with a plate in her head, and that swimming pool that saw more deaths than the average HALLOWEEN movie. This REVENGE, wow, some serious wayside trash as the road snakes on and on and on and on...
Fun too, no argument from me, no.
