          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!
