shipperxSo season finale.
You know who is clearly not going to be dead. Come on. Not gonna happen. So onto the other part...
This is going to be like The Ghost Writer, isn't it. My guess: Emily will be (for all intents and purposes) going up against Halliburton.
I approve the introduction of mystery.
Best line from TWOP's summary:
A video feed set up in Nolan's house that shows the White-Haired Man has him bound and gagged... and not in the way Nolan probably would enjoy...
From EW's Recap:
Earlier this year, my colleague Jeff Jensen summed up the essential requirement of the hypothetical series that would one day inherit Lost’s pop culture mantle: that it would be absolutely nothing like Lost.

Well, Doc J was right. And, amazingly, it didn’t take long for that mantle to be transferred. The show that would take Lost’s place as the nexus of a bona fide pop culture moment would not be a series with heavily symbolic, geek-friendly sci-fi mysteries—sorry, FlashForward, V., The Event, Awake—but simply one with {...} a vividly evoked milieu populated by characters whose complex, sometimes counterintuitive, motivations would drive the plot. {...} The funny thing about Revenge, though, is that it also happens to take place on an exotic island full of history-haunted characters working out daddy issues related to the tragic crash of an airplane...

Date: 2012-05-25 01:38 am (UTC)That is quite clever, but I'm still giving the claim that Revenge is the new Lost a pretty serious side-eye. Revenge isn't nearly the pop culture juggernaut that Lost was in its first season. It's good, and it's fun, and maybe the folks who watch it are as passionate as Lost fans, but it's not exactly a breakout hit the way Lost was.
(That said, I watched the season finale earlier today, and I thought it was great.)
