Overall for a series finale it felt pretty lack lustre. Very nice review. I for one think that the last 10 minutes of a 3 years running series squandered the whole thing.
Emily did not deserve her happy ending since her chain of actions made her become no less of a villan than Victoria. If producers chose such ending to satisfy he viewers.. Well, how about they asked first? Im extremely late catching up on this show, but im glad i watched. I actually thought it was louise who shot her when it happened, i even said to myself, u go girl. Lol i personally think the ending was ALL wrong but thats just my opinion. The boat ride after their wedding, really?
Too many bad memories and such tied to that, they should have taken off to LA to get carl and went off to somewhere warm! Im sad that its over, i was sooo hoping nolan would get his happy ever after! I think i loved him most!!! The whole show baffled me, it seems as though the producers were flirting with a Emily and Danial reunion, that would have been perfect.
The Emily and Jack, is a no no. He was too involved in her business and looking for the little girl he once knew. It was poetic. It fit. It was the perfect redemption to take two bullets for the woman he once put two shots in. Laura: Pretty much. I started to like him at the very end. I felt terrible that he died, mainly because it traumatized poor Emily again. Leora: She'd been through so much.
You need a good actress for this role because so much of what she's doing is wrong, and it would be so easy to look at her and see a villain.
However, we weren't supposed to see a villain. We were supposed to see this person who had been through so much pain and hurt, And who was doing something that even if you disagreed with it, you understood it.
Emily Vancamp played that really well. She is one of my top five favorite actresses, and Revenge is the reason why. She portrayed the girl-next-door Emily, Emily the machine, and the vulnerable and hurt Amanda deep down. Paul: I don't feel like I feel differently about the show. There's never been a show that would top it. If they were making it now, it might do better with streaming because there would be fewer episodes.
It would be much easier to binge-watch it. They could cut out some of the storylines. Leora: Do you think it should have been like a mini-series instead of four full seasons? Paul: In some aspects, yeah. I feel like 22 episodes a season was too much for it. Obviously, I feel like they handled it very well on Revenge Season 1. However, Revenge Season 2 had The Initiative storylines that seemed like they weren't going anywhere.
Leora: In regards to Revenge Season 4, there were good things. Jemily, for starters. As much as Victoria was a villain, and I hated her, a part of me liked the idea that she and David loved each other. It seems inevitable that at some point, he would have to choose between his daughter and his lover. In the end, he would choose his daughter over Victoria. It kind of made sense to the series, but it also felt kind of unnecessary to destroy Victoria and David's relationship and their history.
She also sort of plays into the evil stepmother trope, even though she was never actually a stepmother. I had a different idea for how the show might end at the time. When Margaux was pregnant after Daniel died, I thought they would sort of set it up for Margaux's child to continue the cycle of revenge. Margaux could move to France to get away from everything.
The child would grow up knowing that her father died shamed for having attacked his ex-wife. She would believe in his innocence and would come after Emily, maybe use Carl how Emily had used Daniel.
What goes around comes around. Not that what they did wasn't interesting, but it was a lot more conclusive. The wrapped up loose ends gave bittersweet happy endings, etc. Laura: On that note, what did you guys think of them bringing David back to life? Paul: I thought it was inevitable, but I didn't like it.
I would have much preferred that they kept him dead and maybe someone was posing as him. With these soaps, you know that the characters are going to come back. I think that was part of the reason why the final season failed in many aspects for me.
Leora: I always got offended when people would call it a soap opera because I feel like there's this stigma with soap operas that are very offensive.
I felt like it was a really good show. Laura: I think Revenge is somewhat a nighttime soap. I do watch soaps. It has soap opera aspects. Leora: I was not expecting David to come back. I didn't think it was inevitable. The whole story centers around her getting revenge for the dead father, which becomes kind of moot if the father isn't dead. I thought that they handled it better than they could have when they brought him back. However, overall, it probably would have been better just not to bring him back.
Paul: Bringing him back was one of the most significant flaws on Revenge Season 4. That was the point where the show was showing that it was running out of storylines. They probably brought him back just to bring more drama to the show. I think it would have been much better to have that final season without him to see how the show would have gone.
Leora: I would have liked that. The end of Revenge Season 3, in a lot of ways, could have been a series finale.
Conrad's in jail at least until the David reveal. Victoria is in the asylum. David's name is cleared. Victoria knows the truth about Emily. Aiden is dead, so the path is clear for Jack. They probably could have done a shortened final season just to wrap up the loose threads, i.
I have mixed feelings about how they handled Charlotte on Revenge Season 4. I loved Charlotte so much! I really did. A part of me was really sad that she was leaving the show, but the other part of me felt like her life was going to be so much better now that she left the show. If there's one death that I never really got over and that I would overturn if I could, it would be Declan. I was not okay with them killing Declan at all! I wanted Charlotte and Declan to live happily ever after.
I also wanted Charlotte and Emily to find a way to be sisters. If nothing else, Charlotte just deserves so much better than everything she went through. I wanted her to be able to find a way to be happy. Paul: How many episodes was she in on Revenge Season 4? It seemed like she was barely there. Leora: She was in seven. The last episode that we see her in before the finale would be the one where she tells Daniel the truth about Emily, and he confronts her on the next episode, which is Revenge Season 4 Episode 7.
Then we see her again on Revenge Season 4 Episode Emily Vancamp has done The Resident. She's been great on that, in my opinion. Some people would disagree. She recently did T he Falcon and the Winter Soldier. There was that Indie movie, The Girl with the Book although that might have come out while she was still doing Revenge. Joshua Bowman had that Time After Time series that didn't really go very well.
Laura: He was also on Chicago PD for a bit. Leora: Personally speaking, I don't want to see him as anyone other than Jack. I feel like that would just break my heart because I love Jack so much. Also, I remember hearing in an interview something about how Jack was the first good guy he ever played. Up until that, he always played bad guys.
I couldn't comprehend that because Jack is the goodest of the good guys. I didn't want to see him as a bad guy. I also remember the actor saying in interviews that he felt like Emily and Jack shouldn't end up together. He didn't think she should get her happy ending because the whole point of the tale should be that quote about revenge and two graves.
I appreciated what he was saying, but I wanted her to get a happy ending. She deserved a happy ending after everything she went through. Laura: Right! He was very evil. I know most of the stuff. I've followed most of these actors. I'm a huge fan of The Resident! I'd follow Emily Vancamp almost anywhere. Leora: Yes. She's amazing. She's a large part of the reason why I watch The Resident. She's got so much range to play different roles.
Although I still think Emily Thorne was the best role she probably ever had or ever will have. Leora: Agreed. Nic Nevin is a great character. The men see that Jen's body has vanished and they set out to finish the job but Jen manages to kill Dimitri before finding shelter in a nearby cave. Numbing herself with a dose of peyote that Richard had earlier asked her to keep safe, Jen removes the branch, cauterizing her wound with metal from a beer can before passing out. After a series of dreams shows an array of possible deaths, Jen wakes up with the beer's phoenix logo branded on her skin and exits the cave revived and ready to wreak havoc on the surviving men.
After killing Stan, Jen stalks Richard back to the house for a blood-soaked stand off. Revenge forms itself around Jen's transformation, both mentally and physically. Fargeat's early portrayals of Jen show the young w0man as an almost satirical bubbly blonde, ready to accommodate her boyfriend and his intruding friends, no matter how uncomfortable they may make her.
When Stan throws her initial friendliness back in her face, insisting she owes him something more, Jen shifts, her sweetness dissipates and rage she did not know she possessed surfaces. Her metamorphosis from a soft-spoken mistress to vicious killer is mirrored by the phoenix on her stomach, stressing her ability to survive and regenerate. At first going out of her way to please the men, Jen now approaches their demise with the same commitment.
Not yet knowing Jen is at the house, Richard orders the helicopter and gets in the shower. This gives Jen her opportunity to strike; she shoots Richard in the stomach before he manages to flee the room. Quickly arming himself, Richard fights back and a cat-and-mouse chase ensues throughout the maze of a house. Richard catches Jen when she slips in his blood and begins to choke her, complaining about women always putting up a fight.
Jen shoves her hand into his gunshot wound causing him to drop her, allowing Jen to re-arm herself and fatally shoot Richard. Caked in blood and desert dirt, Jen walks outside, turning at the sound of an approaching helicopter.
