That is awesome! I really hope AMC gives more money to the show for season 3.

Whitney Houston dead at 48!
Geez. You'd think they do some fact checking instead of trying to be "the first" to get the news out.

Revenge: Discussion Thread
Great episode last night! I think my favorite scene was the Conrad/Charlotte scene with Emily eavesdropping. Conrad eying Ashley was hilarious - I hope that's foreshadowing too. I wonder what side Ashley will choose. A secret coming out at a party with everyone watching - so soapy. Loved it. I also liked Conrad's scene with his dad when Grandpa suggested they start grooming Daniel to takeover and Conrad was all, "Remember, I put the Global in Grayson Global."

I didn't understand the point of the alt-universe episode. Can someone tell me the point of it?

I agree with this. Loved that last shot of Emily after Daniel told her about the 'rape' - the revenge came back into her eyes.

That was one of the best finals ever. 6 hours??? That's insane! Amazing play from both Nadal and Novak. The turning point of the match was definitely when Nadal missed the open court and had a chance to go up 5-2. Loved Novak's reaction when he won - don't think I've seen anyone celebrate like that. LOL

Though it wasn't in flashbacks, I'm happy I got my Kill Bill training scene, and I want more. LOL

That's what makes him interesting to watch. Every hero needs an antagonist and Shane is the perfect choice, being Rick's best friend and Lori's ex-lover.

OMG!! That was one of the best episodes so far. What a crazy and sad ending!! The moment I realized that Sophia was one of the zombies when they started the firing squad on all those zombies in the farm, and I was like, "Holy sh!t!! I think Sophia is going to be the last one to come out." And then she did.......the looks on everyone's faces....Carol running towards her zombiefied-daughter, Daryl stopping her, Carl crying and Lori's arms, Lori telling Carl to "not look," and then Rick, the leader, comes forward, aims his gun and fires it. Notice that Rick doesn't kill any of the zombies until Sophia. The directing was also phenomenal! I have to say, even though Shane is the villain, I like him. I like his contrast to Rick - I also love the Rick/Shane dynamic. Shane takes drastic measures to get things done. After he knew Lori was pregnant, that was when he decided that the zombies in the barn had to be killed - to protect Lori and "his baby." I love this scene: Shane: Are you kidding me? You see what they're holding on to? Hershal: I see WHO I'm holding on to. Shane: No, you don't see. Rick: Let us do this, then we can talk. Shane: (yelling) What do you want to talk about, Rick? These things ain't sick! They're not people! They're dead! Ain't got to feel nothing for them because all they do - they kill! These things right here! They're the things that killed Amy! They killed Otis! And they're going to kill of us --- Rick: Shut up!!! Shane: Hershal, man, let me ask you something. Can a living breathing person, can they walk away from this? (shoots the female zombie) Rick: Stop it!! Shane: That's three rounds in the chest! Someone who is alive, could they just take that? Why is it still coming? (fires more shots) That's it's heart, it's lungs!! Why is it still coming? (fire more shots) Rick: Shane!! Enough!! Shane (walks towards the female zombie): Man, you're right.....that is enough. (shoots the zombie in the head) Enough risking our lives for a little girl who's gone! Enough living next to a barn filled with things that are trying to kill us! Enough!! Rick, it ain't like it was before. Now if you all want to live! If you all want to survive, you gotta fight for it! I'm talking about fighting right here, right now!! I also like and Maggie/Glen's romance. Dale has been annoying lately, which him trying to hide the guns and being all "you have to tell the truth". Also kudos to Bear McCreary's background music during the last scene. He's such a great composer.

Training in Japan to prepare for her 'revenge'? Emily is so The Bride (Uma Thurman) in Kill Bill. LOL! I hope we what her training is.

Love that the show is getting huge ratings. Take that Mad Men! Yes, I'm bitter about TWD and Breaking Bad getting their budget's slashes after AMC paying huge bucks to keep MM. I have a feeling Carl might die - the "Walt effect" from Lost. LOL

I definitely think Christa is Emily's half sister too. But I think she could be Frank's daughter too, or at the very least Frank/Victoria had an affair.

I was a bit worried about their ratings but then I looked at Pan Am, Charlie's Angels, and Body of Proof getting below 2's. LOL

I LOVE THIS SHOW!! I agree that this is a straight out soap opera! Emily is deliciously fun to watch - her planning and commitment is amazing. I love Nolan's reaction when he realized how committed Emily is to getting revenge. Nolan's another character who is fun to watch. He and Emily make a great team. Madeleine Stowe is pretty hot - such a great body!! I never heard of her before watching this show. LOL Christa B. Allen is another hottie! I also like the non-triangle triangle of Daniel/Emily/Jack. Same here. Instead he sent a very nice/romantic video. I'm glad that secret is being kept for now but it will be fun when that video is shown. I'm sad to see the ratings fall but I'm not surprised since most serialized shows usually fail on network TV. I just hope we at least get the full season.

I only saw the highlights of the men's final and it looks like I missed a fantastic match. The rallies and winners look really good. Novak just finished one of the best seasons in men's history. If he wins the Aussie Open, it'll be a "Novak-Slam" or "Djokovic-Slam". Well, a return like that is lucky because it doesn't happen too often. You just swing your racket and hope for the best. Get an American in the finals and ratings go through the roof.

It's such a little thing to me. How do you know they didn't clap for her before or sometime during when the cameras weren't on them? Why is clapping such a big deal anyway? Ooohhh....they didn't clap!!! Snap!!!! I will have to say "Come on!!" to people who think not clapping is a big deal! LOL

I didn't know there was a hindrance rule! I understand why the rule is there but common sense needs to come in play. Serena yelling "Come on," didn't affect the outcome of the play at all. At the very least, they should replay the point because there's no way a player should lose a point in that situation. If it weren't for that play and Serena getting energized for at least a couple of games, it would've been over a lot quicker. If I knew anything about Stosur's play, I would've bet on her! Her forehand is amazing. Also, Serena had a late match (the officials screwed up here again. They should've played the women's semis first, then the men's semis) and a toe injury. Stosur had good underdog money. Damn. I don't see the big deal about Serena's camp not clapping.

*sigh* Why do you give your fans hope, Roger? Was shocked when he went up 2 sets to 0. Then I said he had to win in 3 sets because he's not going to win in 5 sets. Then amazingly, he gets 2 match points in the 5th set, like last year, and he doesn't pull it out. That return shot on Roger's first match point by Novak was amazing. For a guy who's career is on the downside, he almost makes it to the final and almost takes out the guy who's playing the best tennis right now.
