Revenge: 1x01: Pilot

I loved it.

So far it's my favourite of the new shows.

I want more episodes NOW. I want to see/know what happens.

Though, I'm not crazy about Emily's hair colour.

Yeah, I thought I had actual things to say about the episode, but no.

Just. YAY SHOW!

I was kind of underwhelmed. :\ I mean, I appreciate shows that just kind of throw us in, but I thought it was a lot at once and so much flashbacks and a lot of the guys look the same and I wasn't following it well. Though I was doing homework at the same time, so that's probably at least half my fault.

Her eyebrows were so distracting. I mean, her hair was super brassy and her eyebrows were so dark and I just wanted to put some lightener on them.

I'm assuming the next episode is better though, pilots are not the best to judge.

Seconding. I'll give it another week. I thought it was interesting but it didn't grab me right off either.

Unacceptable! You are supposed to enjoy Nick in plaid with me. And his dog Sammy. C'mon!

[identity profile] gwendolynmstacy.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
I did enjoy that much. I can tell you that, yes.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Good good.

[identity profile] laurondo.livejournal.com 2011-09-22 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Thirding, lol. Couldn't really get that into it. Will give the second episode a chance, though, just in case.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Try and like it, k? I need this show to last at least a full season. :nods:

[identity profile] laurondo.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
I shall try! Just like I'm trying with the Secret Circle, hahah.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'm going to keep on watching Secret Circle but I don't know if I like it.

[identity profile] laurondo.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
I mostly just want to know what happened w/ the parents at this point.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
I sort of want to see that but I think I mostly want to see how powerful the kids can get.

[identity profile] laurondo.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
That, too! Lets hope they mess some shit up.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
I want some really big explosions. (not necessarily literally)

Also. The one girl had glasses last week, right?

[identity profile] laurondo.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Which one? The one that's not Faye, Diana or Cassie? I can't really remember.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! The one dating uhm ... whatsisface. Thomas? I don't know character name. He was on that Terminator show. Why am I blanking on his name?!

[identity profile] laurondo.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Thomas Dekker is his name, I think. And I don't think either of them had glasses.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
I'm almost certain his girlfriend had glasses. And thanks.

I kind of wanted to say that his name was Dexter but I knew that was wrong.

[identity profile] laurondo.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
She might've! I can't really stand the actress so I don't pay that much attention to her. Try not to, anyway.

[identity profile] laurondo.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
I couldn't stand her on Days of our Lives, plus I think she isn't a very good actress.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Ahhh. But is anyone a good actor on the CW? I mean, really? [/kidding on the square]

[identity profile] laurondo.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
I'd say Gale's not too bad but I'm maybe a little biased on that one, lol.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'm going to go with yes. I mean, yes that you are biased. Or maybe I can't recognize good acting.

[identity profile] laurondo.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
To be fair, I guess, he hasn't exactly had much to work with while he has been on Hellcats or this new one. But I'm probably still biased.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
I did think it was a lot at once and I got lost a couple of times but over all I obviously enjoyed it a lot.

Maybe they'll fix her hair in the future because it wasn't good.

[identity profile] siscokid98.livejournal.com 2011-09-22 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
Glad someone on my flist is watching this too! I didn't expect much from it, but I was really impressed with it! I can't wait to see where they go with this & hopefully it doesn't get prematurely canceled!

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
\o/ I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't get cancelled.

[identity profile] micheleeeex.livejournal.com 2011-09-22 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I watched the pre-air pilot online (which may have been different than the one that aired last night - not sure, but I enjoyed that! I dvr'ed it last night, so I still have yet to watch it.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't watch the pre-aired one but I imagine it's not all that different. None of the other pre-aired shows I watched were different. But maybe you'll enjoy it the second time you see it?

[identity profile] micheleeeex.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
I actually do think it's different. I've seen a much of gifs from last night's episode & some of the scenes don't look familiar at all xD

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
This could be good.

[identity profile] tabularassa.livejournal.com 2011-09-22 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Revenge is AWESOME. AWESOME! I can't wait for more episodes:)

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
I'd like to see the next episode right about now.

[identity profile] annapeace.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
When I first saw trailers for this show I kept thinking the girl was awfully familiar but I couldn't remember what I'd seen her in. And then so very suddenly, EVERWOOD. So now I'm not sure I can watch the show because I really didn't like her character in Everwood. And apparently I cannot separate TV actors and their roles anymore.

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
I liked her on Everwood. I liked everyone on Everwood. Except for Madison and she's the main reason I stopped watching. But mostly. Mostly, I just think she's quite pretty. And some of the other cast is pretty. And well, that's the main reason I watch things. That and violence.

But I too sometimes have trouble separating actors and their roles, so I get what you are saying.

[identity profile] hamarakissa.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
I agree with you! I actually really liked it - kinda loved it :) But seriously I enjoyed the whole storyline and I wanna see where it's headed.

I'll write my thoughts down at the end of the week for all the shows I watched :)

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
o/

*waits for that post*

[identity profile] nikibee.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
You are not the first person on my flist to rave about this show. I need to check it out!

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
I think you should but it seems quite a few didn't like it.

[identity profile] thefrozenheart.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm with you on this, Revenge is also my favorite of the new shows.

hahaha YAY SHOW! XD

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-24 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd like for it to be Wednesday

[identity profile] paperscout.livejournal.com 2011-09-27 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
FINALLY got around to watching it, had to come back here and say as much. I really liked it! I'm not expecting much from any of the new dramas this season, but Emily VanCamp AND Nick Wechsler? It's good. I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes...

[identity profile] certainthings.livejournal.com 2011-09-28 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
but Emily VanCamp AND Nick Wechsler?

Exactly! I hope the show either does well or just isn't cancelled prematurely.
