B99 and Revenge
If I remember, watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine in the Monday repeat slot will work better for me.
1.5 The Vulture I enjoyed the development of dynamics, that the Captain turned his attention to the Sargeant while most of the rest of them joined forces against the Vulture, while Jake slightly Learned Something. I am really starting to like Amy and Rosa's friendship. And I laughed.
Revenge 3.7
Started off with lots of exposition, there was some shirtlessness and some manouverings.
Some points - Ana Ortiz guest starring totally made me think that she needed Betty or Papi to keep her in line. I side-eyed how she conveniently had a history with Nolan, although by the end of the episode, thanks to Mann and the sadness over his father, plus how he is meant to have grown a spine and the contrast with Emily's revenge shenanigans really worked. Well, Emily's 'partner/friend whom I'm going to have to leave if my plan goes right which it TOTALLY WILL' scene was far more moving than her saying goodbye to Aiden.
is Aiden really going for now? Obviously, yay, because I tolerate him even less than Victoria does, but I am a bit dubious about all these characters coming and going.
I like Sarah, almost to the point where I think she's too good for redeeming Daniel (who is in no way the innocent he was in the first season, but the difference in emotional engagement between Danny/Sarah and Emily/Daniel is clear) but I really can't see evidence of the spinal injury. I'm also racking my brain in that I don't remember what happened with her brother except that he turned up.
Emily pretended to be sad that she'd never see 'her sister' if the escape plan she's pretending to Aiden that she's going to carry out (it'll never happen, anyway, although how long are they going to drag all this out, anyway?).
While it was good that Jack started to address his grief about Amanda (and with Declan and everything else, he's pretty traumatised) but I thought it was rather superficial. With Emily's revelation, he now knows his girlfriend/wife lied to him a lot. He's entitled to anger and confusion about who he married. I was glad that they didn't go too fluffy with Jack/Margot, by bringing in her trying to sign up Conrad. Her curiosity about Conrad's past was a flash of something interesting (although, ultimately, probably dangerous).
I noticed that she had the same style of gravestone as David, which was a nice touch. I was amused that Jack and Nolan are hanging out now. I mean, it makes sense, it just makes the time that they weren't even more pointed.
And finally, a first husband whom Emily and Nolan can smirk about? Oh yeah?
Apparently, I'll bite.
