Every week this show just keeps turning up the dials at a steady, confident pace. In fact, the pacing is one of the best things about the writing on Revenge and it struck us at the end of this episode that we’d been like little frogs in a pot of water all along and things had just hit...
Revenge S1E13: CommitmentOh, bitches. If ever there was any doubt (and really, there wasn’t), it’s gone now: IT. IS. ON. You wouldn’t think Emily would need any more reason to continue with her plan but the show managed to raise the stakes considerably, right at the moment when Emily (and the... Revenge S1E12: InfamyWe’ll present your regularly scheduled Revenge review in a moment. First, some gloating. WE CALLED IT, BITCHES.

It’s like when someone finds out Superman’s secret identity: you know amnesia is only a couple pages down the... Revenge S1E8: TreacheryDarlings, when Amber Valetta opened her crystal-clear eyes and expressed puzzlement on her perfectly intact face after falling 5 stories in an evening gown and then revealed that she … dun dun DUN!!!! … has amnesia, we giggled and settled in for a perfectly delicious hour of... Revenge S1E7: CharadeOkay, what were you more surprised by, Nolan’s abs or Nolan’s sexual orientation? Because we were pretty blindsided by both.
