Revenge – The Early Years

Through the course of the first four episodes of the season, Revenge has introduced us to Kara, Aiden, Padma, Skeevy Kenny, the “initiative”, NolCorp, and now baby Carl (CARL???). There have been a lot of additions to the Revenge universe, perhaps a few too many (the “initiative”!). But this week sorted out several of these factors and they grounded themselves a little better in the Hamptons.

Kara’s spaceship landed at Grayson Manor, Aiden partnered with Daniel, Padma went full hair down & glasses off, Skeevy Kenny bought the bar, NolCorp may be Grayson property, and baby Carl found out his daddy is his daddy! As for Men in Black secret society, the less said the better.

Mama Kara moves in!

The show begins with a flashback of former Amanda nearly being drowned by Mama Kara. She awakes to find Aiden snuggled up on the couch with her. Fully clothed. So nothing happened? Boo… That couch gets no action whatsoever.

She tells Aiden that her father lied about her mother being dead to protect her and he claims to have done the same thing. Didn’t Alias do the same thing with Sydney’s “dead”, dangerous mother?

Em orders him to work on destabilizing the Grayson Global and kicks him to the curb. This relationship is going nowhere.

Over at Grayson Manor, who should arrive but Mama Kara! Between the gardening shears, Krazy Kara’s one liners, and Vic’s look of shock – the scene is hilarious.


HAHAHAHAHA!


HAHAHAHAHA – better hide those shears, Vic!

Kara immediately starts off in cuckoo land by telling Vic that she’s “so glad you’re safe” and how smart it was to build the house on the beach so Vic can see her enemies coming. HAHA! She got in fairly easily, didn’t she?

Kara floats around, tries to get info on Whitey, pokes her finger on a thorn (Thorne?) – God knows what else happens here but it is all good. The ladies play this out with the perfect blend of divatude and wackitude. Mama’s delightfully bonkers! Or is she…?


“Can you show me where you keep your tinfoil?  I need a new hat.”  

After consulting with Conrad, they invite Kara to stay with them because…keep your enemies closer, right? Eventually they find out that Kara has been trying to reach Whitey, but what can they do really?

Aiden meets Grayson meets Padma = Sad Nolan

Aiden meets with Conrad at Grayson Global as Takeda’s proxy. Maybe old skool Takeda quit because he found out he was getting a proxy. Real Takeda will play second fiddle to no one!

Aiden is worried about the feud between Conrad and Daniel, but Conrad assures him there is no feud and tells Daniel to grant him full access to Grayson. Would double dealing Conrad really grant “full transparency” to this proxy? Guess he’s the money so he has no choice.


His tie is obviously choking him

    I completely agree about the name Carl. Hopefully, it has some sentiment behind it. If not, wtf were they thinking???

    The reason Jack and Faux named the baby Carl is because that was his dads name…

    I feel bad for Nolan, he finally found someone that he likes, and she is a shady bitch!

    i did know the story behind carl, but it just makes me think of my old boss .. who was like two years older than i was (i was 23) and an EVP … and it cracks me up ….

    now padma is becoming more like the actress’s rebecca (greek) character. that’s the girl i’m used to. haha.

    your caption about the tin foil cracked me up!

    I still think Padma might be good although the whole character does not make a lot of sense.

    The whole remove glasses and take down hair and wow she is hot is my freaking life story. I had glasses in high school and dressed modestly and I was invisible. Get contacts and wear low cut shirts and the guys are all over it. Go figure.

    Dear Faux,

    You are one of the few genuinely good people on the show and you manage to do it without being totally boring, unlike Jack and Declan who are poor, honest, noble and yawn worthy. You have anger management issues, admittedly but you only actually killed Frank and hot though he may have been, we’ve kind of forgotten him by now. You are loyal and loving and forgiving. You have a child by the man you love and although he would bore the heck out of me, you want him and he’s ready to give it another try. I think it is time to buy yourself a nice red shirt and prepare to buy the farm. I know you love real Amanda, but don’t make her a guardian to Carl. I’m sure she would do her best, but that would probably consist of putting him in a snuggy, making certain she has bottles and diapers at hand and taking him along on her revenge missions. By the time he was six, Carl WOULD know six different ways to incapacitate someone and at least three ways to kill them, plus being able to bring down entire families with ease, however this might hinder his popularity on the playground, or not depending on how well Aunt Emily teaches him to dissemble. You’ve been fun. I’ll miss you.

    I think a 6 year old that could do that would be awesome. Reminds me of my son. He is revenging at a 5th grade level and he is only in Kindergarten. I am so proud.
