Revenge 1x07 Review
Dec. 18th, 2011 11:16 pmFirst I have to get something out of the way, from TWoP:
The ladies of this show get a lot of attention for their outrageous soapy schemes, but Nolan is the quiet brains behind Emily's operation. She'd be nothing without him, and so would this show. here Uh, what? No. Just - no. Nolan is awesome and an excellent ally for Emily, very useful and loyal, if she'd let him. But Emily is the brains behind her operation. 'She'd be nothing without him' are you fucking kidding me?! They are her plans, her executions... until she came along he settled for hanging around annoying everyone. She is the mastermind! I knew this annoyed me but it wasn't until I wrote this out that I realise that it's actually leaving me pretty pissed. I love that this show gave us Emily - damaged, vengeance-obsessed, brilliant Emily - and the writer of this not only giving Nolan all the credit but characterizing her by using the the words "outrageous soapy schemes" makes me so angry. >:[
Okay. Moving on.
