Remember when Revenge was actually about Emily Thorne avenging her father's death and wrongful life sentence?
還記得《復(fù)仇》(Revenge)女主角艾米莉·索恩(Emily Thorne)的終極目標(biāo)是為了給被判終身監(jiān)禁然后冤死獄中的父親報(bào)仇雪恨嗎?
?
Although Emily got caught up in a love triangle with Daniel (Josh Bowman) and Jack (Nick Wecshler) along the way, the show rarely veered from its main mission — and that red pen. But has Season 2 lost its way? With its complicated and confusing arcs, the addition of two main characters who aren't very likable ?— Aidan (Barry Sloane) and Kara (Jennifer Jason Leigh) — and a lack of action and actual vengeance, it seems like Revenge could use some help returning to its freshman season glory.
盡管艾米莉與丹尼爾(Daniel),杰克(Jack)二人的三角戀情貫穿了整個(gè)第一季,但“復(fù)仇”始終是不變的主題。第二季隨著兩個(gè)不怎么討人喜歡的新角色艾登(Aiden)和艾米莉母親卡拉(Kara)的加入,劇情愈發(fā)復(fù)雜,也更加糾結(jié),然而最精彩的復(fù)仇行動(dòng)卻鮮少出現(xiàn)。
Here are five ways we want to fix Revenge:
歸納起來(lái),《復(fù)仇》第二季存在著以下五大敗筆。
1. Bring back the revengenda
1.復(fù)仇行動(dòng)節(jié)奏緩慢?
When was the last time Emily sat down with that Grayson Global retreat photo and mapped out a way she was going to eliminate each person involved? She may still be targeting Grayson Global, but we have no idea what her roadmap is anymore and how far she's going to stray from or adhere to it.
我們最近一次看到艾米莉拿著那張格雷森(Grayson)家諱莫如深的老照片坐在桌前一一圈出她想要除掉的有罪之人已經(jīng)是什么時(shí)候的事了?格雷森家族也許仍是艾米莉的目標(biāo),我們卻再也猜不到她的下一步行動(dòng)了,不知她是否改變了原有計(jì)劃還是決定照計(jì)劃行事。
2. More Emily and Nolan plotting
2.艾米莉與諾蘭互動(dòng)戲份減少
We miss the reliance these two had on each other, and while Nolan isn't lacking one-liners (or a colorful wardrobe) this season, the scenes between the two are now used to provide comic relief in the hour. An "Ems" every so often isn't enough. Let's get these two back in front of the computer figuring out what Emily's next move is and how Nolan can aid her.
我們都十分想念他們對(duì)彼此的信任。第二季的諾蘭(Nolan)變得幽默了許多,他和艾米莉打趣的話已經(jīng)成為了緩解緊張劇情的“獨(dú)家秘訣”。只是聽(tīng)到諾蘭親昵地稱艾米莉?yàn)椤靶“保‥ms)的次數(shù)明顯減少讓我們有些失望。大家都非常希望能夠看到兩人再一次共同對(duì)著電腦研究接下來(lái)的行動(dòng),以及諾蘭毫無(wú)保留地幫助艾米莉的場(chǎng)景。
3. Get rid of Aidan
3.艾登
Does anyone actually like this guy? We understand the need for someone to shed light on Emily's post-lockup training with Takeda, but there's nothing charming or likeable about him. Plus: We've yet to see his purpose for being in town (except to kill the White-Haired Man.
難道有人真心喜歡艾登嗎?我們能理解除了武田(Takeda)的魔鬼訓(xùn)練,艾米莉還需要一個(gè)盟友。但艾登這個(gè)角色完全沒(méi)有討喜之處,或者個(gè)人魅力;并且我們直到現(xiàn)在都還沒(méi)發(fā)現(xiàn)他來(lái)漢普頓的目的何在。
4. Give Daniel a backbone
4.墻頭草丹尼爾
Whose side is he really on? Does he have any opinions or convictions of his own? It's always hard to tell when one day he's supporting dad and he switches to Team Victoria the next. Maybe if he actually took a stand on something — anything — we'd finally respect the guy. (Don't even get us started on him and Ashley.)
丹尼爾到底和誰(shuí)是一伙兒的?他就不能有點(diǎn)主見(jiàn),有點(diǎn)定力么?總之我們只看到他從康拉德(Conrad)的陣營(yíng)轉(zhuǎn)投維多利亞(Victoria),如果哪天他堅(jiān)定了自己的立場(chǎng),我們或許會(huì)對(duì)他產(chǎn)生點(diǎn)兒好感。不過(guò)讓我們更鬧心的還是他勾搭上了阿什莉(Ashley)。

5. Relegate the bar to the background (and have Declan go with it)
5.偷渡者酒吧狗血泛濫?
Can't The Stowaway just remain a signature set like Central Perk or The Peach Pit? Since Declan (Connor Paolo) and Charlotte (Christa B. Allen) broke up, the show has struggled to integrate the blue-collar teen into story lines and has instead concocted a bizarre arc in which Declan gets caught stealing from Kenny (JR Bourne). But rather than pressing charges, the uber-shady Kenny bails the bar out, which means Jack and Dec are indebted to him for life. Um, what?! If this keeps up, we hope Declan is the mysterious dead body underwater.
為什么偷渡者酒吧(The Stowaway)不能只是一個(gè)普通的劇中建筑呢?自從德克蘭(Declan)和夏洛特(Charlotte)緣分散盡,編劇就一直試圖把這個(gè)“窮小子愛(ài)上富家女”的老套戲碼融入《復(fù)仇》的故事主線中。不過(guò)效果實(shí)在不佳,德克蘭因?yàn)橥蹈`肯尼(Kenny)財(cái)物被捕的情節(jié)設(shè)置更是及其古怪。而最讓人無(wú)語(yǔ)的還屬腦子進(jìn)水的肯尼竟然沒(méi)有起訴,反倒幫了即將關(guān)門大吉偷渡者酒吧一把,搖身一變成了波特(Potter)兄弟的債主。呃,這到底是在演哪一出?。咳绻者@樣下去,那我寧愿水下的那具無(wú)名男尸就是德克蘭。
