Are any of you watching the nighttime soap opera, "Revenge"?
Starting with a mildly interesting premise and a beautiful lead character, I began watching it when it first came on a couple years ago.
As the seasons go on, the plot lines get more and more complicated and preposterous, and the relationships among the characters become as complex as a plate of spaghetti. I swear to god, these people seem to know less about who their fathers (and mothers) are than the most devoted head-bangers in the Ghetto. Every episode, there is one more character who finds out that his father or mother is not who he was brought up to believe.
Emily VanCamp is the latest in a long line of great American actors and actresses who has two or three basic facial expressions and forces the audience to figure out what each one represents in context (like Harrison Ford?). Last night, she was forced to confront the fact that she has had a series of mental blackouts when she acts totally out of character, possibly damaging her relationships with people who are important to her, and fouling up her overall plans for...REVENGE! But looking into that beautiful face last night I recognized her "new" facial expression for exactly what it was.
It was the same expression one sees in actresses in the "before" pictures on the laxative commercials! She needs to take a DUMP!
But I can't stop watching the show. God help me.
