| "revenge" pilot vs. finale: looking back at the season long emotional arc |
[May. 26th, 2012|12:28 am] |
I rewatched the pilot last night. I hadn’t seen it since it first aired, and watching it right after seeing the (amazing!) finale had quite the impact. The thing that stood out the most to me was, as always, Emily and Nolan’s relationship. Mainly, that it just does not exist there, not as it comes to. And both of them are a mess. They’re isolated and working out of the very worst of their coping strategies. Emily is all cold rage, destruction, and only allowing herself to connect with her dead father and then only through her plans to burn everyone who hurt them down.
Nolan is just… he’s relating to the world through tech to feel safe. He carries a video camera with him to a party so he can have emotional distance from the people around him. He sits alone at home. He wears those ridiculous clothes as some kind of armor. His social skills are at an all time low. Even Jack, the nicest guy on the planet, can’t stand him.
