cahnYeah, so, I have for the first time in ten years been watching a TV show around the same time (within a week of) the actual air date! I blame liuzhia, the Kid (both of whom are watching it with me), and the ABC iPad app.
Also, since I have way too much to do, I've been writing down my response to the episodes. Here's last week's, which I didn't like at all. This week's to follow.
CONRAD: *clicks on random links that get sent to him anonymously*
(SERIOUSLY? If I were Nolan and Emily, I'd so be installing spyware and malware on his computer. Wait. I guess they already did that in a previous ep. Still, are there people in Nigeria making millions off this guy?)
WRITERS OF REVENGE: Let's put extremely unsubtle slashy subtext in every single scene involving more than one guy under forty! (Okay, this wasn't stupid exactly, just funny.)
VICTORIA and CONRAD: So we told our slimy minion to take care of things his own way, and now we are shocked, shocked I tell you!! to find out that "his own way" meant pushing Lydia out a window!
CONRAD: The clear thing to do with a slimy minion who knows all our extremely terrible secrets and has no compunction about killing people who give him a hard time is... to fire him!
ASHLEY: I have ignored lots of hints that Emily would rather not have dinner with me and Tyler, and now I am shocked, shocked! that they are having a conflict!
FRANK: Victoria, I must declare my undying passion! In the kitchen. In the middle of the night. Having snuck in. Because that is what slimy minions do!
DECLAN, JACK, DANIEL: Let's all have an orgy of acting stupid! Especially Declan! In an unsubtly slashy kind of way! Especially *not* Declan! (ugh)
TYLER: I shall not act stupid exactly, for my stupid-sounding actions and words are all part of the plan I have not yet revealed to the viewers, but I shall generally be a complete waste of space and time.
JACK: Emily, you are like a boat.
EMILY: ...Thanks, but I have a boyfriend.
ME: happily types away complaning about stupid people in this ep
TYLER: *climbs on date-rape-drugged Daniel*
ME: *catches the end of this* Wait, what? Was that just *literal* gay action, and not just subtext?
NOLAN: *is not stupid, but understandably bad at espionage*
ME: *am annoyed with everyone except Nolan, who is kind of sweet in this one, actually*
