Revenge Season 1
Victorino Eagle
Revenge is an American psychological thriller television series that premiered on ABC on September 21, 2011. The series was created by Mike Kelley and is inspired by the Alexandre Dumas novel The Count of Monte Cristo.[1] The series stars Madeleine Stowe and Emily VanCamp.
On April 29, 2015, ABC announced the cancellation of the series after four seasons.[2][3] The final episode aired on May 10, 2015. During the course of the series, 89 episodes of Revenge aired.
Overall, this season finale was great. It was emotional and full of action. It will definitely be hard to wait for the premiere of season 3. I hope ABC has a better way to air the episodes this year. All the breaks between episodes did a great bit of damage to this season. However, ratings are still better than other shows. I look forward to the character development in the next season.
The end of Season 1 revealed that Emily's mom was alive, and her return became one of Season 2's most hyped plot points. The news that Jennifer Jason Leigh had been cast as the mental matriarch only added to anticipation. And then ... nothing happened. Oh, sure, she went off her meds for a while and caused a little mayhem, but it was all but forgotten by the next episode. Not to mention the fact that Leigh always seemed a little off, and not in the fun crazy way. Perhaps it was bad direction or the fact that she wasn't given much to work with, but no one missed Kara when she left the Hamptons.
One of the great things about Revenge was its unique protagonist: We rooted for Emily, but we never really felt for her. She was a single-minded revenge machine, and there was something genuinely cool about a character motivated not by love or power but by vengeance. And yet, Season 2 has seen Emily cry. A lot. She crumpled in Aidan's arms, she missed her mom, and worst of all, she doubted her revenge plot. While it may not be as easy to like Season 1's cold and calculating heroine, she was at least more challenging than the watered-down version we've gotten in Season 2.
Daniel was of course supposed to die halfway through the first season, but Revenge realized they had a star (and a total hunk) on their hands. Keeping Daniel around was fine, especially as he learned more about his family's lies and took a more active role in Grayson Global. So why saddle him and Emily with this pointless on-again off-again romance? We know she's only in it for the revenge, which just makes the whole thing feel extra tedious. They look good together, but that's about it. Going to have to agree with Victoria on this one: Break it off for good.
The only thing more infuriating than the amount of time Revenge spent on Padma is how haphazardly it got rid of her. An offscreen death is one of TV's worst fates, and it's a particularly weak finish when we're devoting a fair amount of time to looking for the deceased. At least on The Walking Dead, which pulled the same crap with Sophia, we got to see her one last time as a zombie. But Revenge gave us the briefest glimpse of Padma's corpse, as if to say, "Our bad. She's gone now." In that case, can you return the time I spent watching her pointless saga unfold?
So much for her revenge plan, huh? The Revenge Season 4 premiere aired last Sunday and it was confusing as hell. Not just because of the series' unannounced and undetermined time-jump but because David Clarke abducted Victoria Grayson right after she escaped the insane asylum. We all spent the first 45 minutes of the Season 4 premiere trying to figure out how the series got where it was and why everyone was actually totally nuts and then it packed all of the action in at the last second. To boot, the show then left us with a huge question: Why does David Clarke want Victoria as a prisoner? And how did he time it so perfectly that he was waiting for her when she turned up on Emily's doorstep?
I've been confused by the David Clarke shocker from the Season 3 finale as much as the next person. But I guess when Emily started to run out of people to exact revenge upon, Revenge had to do something crazy about it. Enter: David Clarke, the "dead man" who is ready to turn himself loose on the Hamptons. During the Season 4 premiere we saw him lurking around in his and Emily's former beach house and planning for his big return to the lives of the people who loved and missed him all of this time. But what struck me the most about David's appearances in the Season 4 premiere was just how perfectly he managed to time his arrival so that he was waiting for Victoria to show up at Emily's at the exact moment she miraculously escaped from the asylum.
I mean, it's also possible that he's been staking out his daughter's new home to make sure that she's safe. But, somehow, it makes more sense to me that David, who's obviously a mastermind, planned for Victoria to escape from prison that night and for her to turn up at Emily's door. But why? Even if he set Victoria up with her loyal minion in the insane asylum so that she could escape right into his clutches, why would he go through all of this trouble?
Because there's no easy way for him to come back into his daughter's life after all of this time of staying hidden. If I were Emily and my father, who I ruined my life for because I thought he was dead all of these years, came back and was all like, "Hey, daughter, I'm back," I'd be so pissed and I wouldn't believe a word he said. David Clarke, being the brilliant and terrifying evil genius that he is, definitely knows that that's how Emily would react to this surprise and that's where Victoria comes in.
I mean, it's also entirely possible that David Clarke wants to hold Victoria captive just to torture and torment her until he feels she's suffered as much as he has. But that wouldn't make for great TV nor does it fit with Revenge Season 4's new focus on Victoria's revengenda. So, the only logical explanation is that Victoria will either serve as a lure to get the girls where David can meet them safely or as confirmation that yes, he's a real person.
Hi! I've been bugged by this question since the Season 1 and it seems like the chances of that being revealed is slim so I'm thinking if some of you might have thoughts about it or any clue that you might have noticed that I missed.
I too think the same as Ho Goo-Joon has something to do with it as in Season 1 when it was his sister Ho Goo-Hee I think..well that's what I remember to be her name. So as I was saying when she got angry at her brother and wanted to take revenge on him and entered his name, it showed that it wasn't possible. That's when my suspicions about him started. Then when I started Season 2 I saw that the cast was different so, I was slowly changing my thoughts of him being the Master, but, he appeared in Season 2 too. WOW. I thought I was going crazy. Well then reaching the last episodes I understood that their teacher Ms. Maeng have something to do with it too. Well also, I don't think Seo Ro-Bin have something to do with it. Anyway these are my thoughts. Hope I will see a reply to this.
I thought I was the only one who liked this series LOL. In my honest opinion, Season 2 was really fresh due to its cast of actors being not as well known as Season 1. They used what they had, and a lot of what happened to Jinah also happened to me in my high school experience. Upon watching this a year out of HS in 2018, a lot resonated with me and helped me a lot with not feeling as alone.
Fluff aside, I don't think it's anyone in the cast who is the master. I'm thinking it's an outside source that they might reveal later in the series if it ever picks up or is ever even mentioned again.
I think more than one person is behind this. I'm 95% sure both Ho GooJoon and Maeng SaRang are involved. It's definitely implied that the app's original developer was their late friend. The Seo boys may be involved, but there's not much to go on there.
Revenge is a fun, addictive show, but (like any entertainment) has had some moments that we all expected to turn out differently or more exciting. During the mediocre Season 2, I dreamed up my own ideas for where the show could have gone. Keep in mind this little trip into fan fiction is all for fun and based on rumors and speculation from spoilers and interviews.
Daniel and Ashley become a couple but break up when Victoria discovers (thanks to Emily) that Ashley had an affair with Conrad. Daniel starts dating Emily again and proposes to her. Aiden becomes instant enemies with Daniel. Jack and Declan are targeted by the Ryan brothers, who want revenge on them for an incident that occurred between their fathers years earlier.
Amanda got revenge against a lot of people who are still living and probably very angry. Would we have seen any of them resurface in a fifth season to get their own revenge? Someone like Mason Treadwell?
