Hello! I'm still very sick, FYAers!! Too sick to stay awake and competent through even one hour long show. This week I watched Revenge with my fiance, who has never seen the show. I don't think he was too interested, but he did ask a few questions. In lieu of recapping the episode, please have this conversation.
The Gentleman Caller: To give me some background, what's this program about?
Me: First, put your pants on.
TGC: I'm getting there.
Me: Okay. So this show is about a ly whose name used to be Amanda Clarke, but now she goes by Emily Thorne.
TGC: She sounds like a risk taker.
Me: Emily Thorne is hunting down some bad people who framed her father for a crime he didn't commit.
TGC: Bastards. Is this anything to do with the A Team?
Me: No. Helping Emily is a very nice man named Nolan.
TGC: Has he made any Batman movies?
Me: No
TGC: What crime did they frame her father for?
Me: There was a plane that was brought down by terrorists, and they framed her father for funding the terrorists.
TGC: {vaguely zenophobic comment redacted}
Me: And she's just found out her mother is alive and may be crazy.
Me: That's Nolan. He's my boyfriend.
TGC: I'm your boyfriend.
Me: You both are. He dresses better.
TGC: {Ashley walks in} That's an awful English accent, luv.
Me: That's Daniel, he's gross.
TGC: He looks creepy. He looks like a creepy jock.
{weird mysterious British guy is spying on Emily}
TGC: He's forgotten his gun, silly boy.
TGC: They're watching this on a clam can. What does that mean?
Me: Nolan made a camera. In a clam. It's a clam can.
{re: Declan}
TGC: That dude has really bad hair. Like he might overbalance forward.
TGC: I think that Nolan is going to turn out to be the bad guy. Put that on your blog and smoke it.
Me: I hate you.
TGC: So, that's not Amanda Clarke. But {Jack} thinks she is.
Me: Yes.
TGC: Did he have a lobotomy?
. . . . And then I got too confused to talk. So, TRET! had a paternity test and it's not Jack's but TRAC! changed it to say it was? White-haired man threatened Victoria so Victoria and Conrad pretended she'd been kidnapped? Then Daniel gave Charlotte his inheritence? Then white-haired man tried to kill TRAC! but Mysterious British Man killed him? And Nolan might have a new girlfriend? I'm so confused, frankly. Let us know what you think!
