The End of an Era of Revenge



The Final Step Towards Revenge

September 21, 2011 - May 10, 2015 


From left to right: Nick Wechsler (Jack Porter), Emily VanCamp (Emily Thorne/Amanda Clarke), Joshua Bowman (Daniel Grayson).

          I've never given much thought to the concept of "revenge." That is until, the show "Revenge," appeared on television. The storyline centered on a young woman's quest for revenge against those who wronged her and her father, whom she loved with all of her heart. Emily Thorne (Aka Amanda Clarke) embarked on long journey of revenge to help gain justice for her wrongfully convicted father, David Clarke. What I loved most about this show was the strong bond of friendship and loyalty. Towards the end of Season 4, Emily Thorne revealed her true identity to the world. I believe that this was the moment that everyone had ultimately been waiting for! I was sure waiting for it! Amanda Clarke and her dear childhood friend, Jack Porter, shared a deep emotional connection with one another! I was rooting for their close friendship and love to blossom into something more! Finally, my prayers were answered! Jack and Emily finally wed in the series finale of Revenge (#4X23), which brought tears of joy to my eyes and warmed my heart! Finally, Amanda could attempt to lead a normal and happy life with her soulmate! A storybook ending indeed!




       Another one of my favorite characters in Revenge was Nolan Ross, Amanda's best friend and sidekick. Ross, played by Gabriel Mann, never ceased to amaze me with his unique talents and abilities! Nolan's genius abilities and grand sense of loyalty is what I admired most about him throughout the course of the show! I loved how he was always there for Emily/Amanda, and valued the importance of friendship. Nolan and Amanda were "thick as thieves," even to the very end! There is so much more I could say to express my love for the show in greater detail. However, I believe that could go on for hours! lol Therefore, I have listed some of my top favorite "Revenge" moments below. Did you love the show as well? What did you love most about the whole "revenge" dynamic of the show? Do you have any favorite characters that you will remember as time goes on? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the series finale and/or the show in general. That was one heck of a emotional rollercoaster ride, am I right? Whew! 


 


Where it all began! #Season1 #Revenge





Amanda and Jack's emotional connection was undeniable!




This was one of the most epic moments between Jack and Amanda!


"I am Amanda Clarke!"


This was the moment I had been waiting for!!! 


SERIES FINALE RECAP: BEST MOMENTS - May 10, 2015 (#4X23) - "Two Graves"




Did I mention that I love Nolan Ross? Yes? Well, I'll say it again! I love Nolan Ross! The finale episode of Revenge only made me love him more! First, breaking "Ems" out of jail and then helping to prove her innocence. What more could one ask for in a best friend? I also loved how this episode was driven by love between two best friends, soulmates, and father/daughter. With Victoria Grayson officially gone...can we talk about that twist though?! Amanda received Victoria's heart? It can't be true! Or can it be? I guess we'll never know! In the end, Amanda finally received closure with her father, before he died of cancer. The episode ended with Jack and Amanda's beautiful wedding and them sailing off into the sunset on a boat! That sure was one picture-perfect ending, if I do say so myself!



























My love for Revenge is infinity times infinity! Only true fans of Revenge will understand that statement! I can't wait to see what the future has in store for the cast members of this long-running hit show! I'm sure each of their futures are very bright! I'm sad to see the show go, but I think the ending was beautifully written! I don't see the show ending any other way!

The Comedy Effect



The Comedy Effect: Laughter Feeds the Soul



           Hey everyone! Life has been very busy with school and everything, but I'm back! I am making it my mission to write at least 2-3 blog posts a week, from this day forward! Today's blog post is all about the wonderful world of comedy! I love comedy and think that it is just such a great stress reliever! Laughter, joy, and happiness can be spread like wildfire among the masses! Comedy relief can be received from a variety of sources, whether it be a book, a movie, or a funny television show! Ellen DeGeneres is my go to for laughter and happiness. Whenever I am having a bad day, I watch Ellen or read her daily funny quotes! A smile is  instantly put upon my face! Statistics have proven that when one is happy, stress and anxiety is reduced significantly! As one who tries to stay positive and smile on a daily basis, I can confirm those statistics! Some popular statistics about laughter can be seen below!  





Ellen is hilarious! I love how people just do what she tells them to do! It's awesome! lol 



           There is a new show on ABC entitled, Cristela. This show is about a hilarious and family-oriented Latina who is working hard to become a lawyer! This show is just so relatable! It emphasizes the family dynamic and brilliantly highlights the element of comedy! After a long and stressful week, I love to watch Cristela with my Mom on Friday nights @ 8:30 p.m. The highly popular comedian, "Fluffy," is also a part of the show! His character, Alberto, never has a dull moment! His snappy one-liners are so clever and instantly makes me laugh! Watch the clip below and don't forget to watch Cristela on Friday nights on ABC, or On Demand. You will absolutely fall in love with her and the rest of the cast, without a doubt! Are you a lover of comedy as well? What are some of your favorite comedy outlets? I'd love to hear all about it! Please feel free to share in the comments below! Until next time, don't forget to laugh today! Laughter is life's greatest medicine!

Insurgent: Movie Review


The Divergent Series: Insurgent




Movie Review By: Meaghan Brenna Foley

       Earlier this afternoon, I went with my family to go see the sequel to the Divergent series, Insurgent. Without giving away any spoilers, I will just describe the movie using one word…EPIC!!! There was never a dull moment in the movie! It was action-packed and suspenseful up until the very end! The visual effects were also out of this world! It was simply fantastic! Shailene Woodley's amazing acting ability is truly breathtaking to watch! She is sooo talented and is by far one of the best actresses in today's day and age! What I love most about the Divergent series is the strong love and bond between Tris & Four. Their love for each other runs so deep and is grounded in such genuine compassion. I love that the characters prove their loyalty to one another on several occasions! The actors, Shailene Woodley (Tris Prior) and Theo James (Four/Tobias Eaton), have such great chemistry that radiates during every scene in the movie. In my opinion, we all hope to find our one true love...that one person who would take a bullet just to save our life. I highly recommend that you all go out to the movie theaters and see Insurgent! You won't regret it! Go on and defy gravity! Be brave and embrace your true divergence! I know I will! 




       As one who has read the books, I can honestly say that the movie stayed very true to the book's storyline. The author of the Divergent Series, Veronica Roth, is such an inspiration! I just recently learned that she is 25 years old! That is fantastic! Roth has achieved so much success at such a young age! I commend her dedication to her work and look forward to what she has in the works for the future! Her books are so enticing that you never want to put them down! The Divergent Series is the first series, since the Twilight Saga, that has absolutely inspired me and captured my heart! Are you a fan of the Divergent Series? What is your take on the epic, Tris and Four? Do you have a favorite character in the books/movies? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below! Once again, thank you for reading and following my blog! My appreciation for your love and support is beyond words! Stay tuned, as the best is yet to come! 





Check out this sneak peek of Insurgent!

Yoga: The Grand Alleviator of Stress


YOGA: MY LIFE'S NEW MANTRA




          I have been looking for new ways to alleviate stress. In my opinion, yoga is the prime form of exercise that everyone should partake of in life. I am going to begin practicing yoga starting tomorrow with my Mom. This is going to be a great way to build up both our physical and mental health. I also believe that yoga strengthens personal relationships with oneself and with others. 


          Stress is often the main cause of physical aches and pains. Therefore, people should never forget to maintain their physical fitness. Our body is our temple and we must create it with the utmost respect. I believe that caring for our bodies ultimately will lead to happiness and success!




Have you ever done yoga? Please share your experiences and comments in the section below. I love to learn about new things and the experiences of others! Until next time, godspeed!
