I won't be able to watch the game because the local CBS won't be airing it.....there are no sports bars that will be showing the game because West Texas has a serious infatuation problem with the Cowboys and any team in the NFC..........anyone have any ideas? Should I just get NFL ticket? I'm kind of short on money....I know I have a good friend who's a Bills fan and has NFL ticket, but I don't want to invite myself over....
Dang. I thought it was a national game as my local channels are only showing the one game at that time. How much is NFL ticket?
I'm a Pats fan in Pittsburgh, my only option was NFL Sunday ticket, which means my only option was Direct TV. It's expensive, but I'm not gonna miss any games. By the way, the Bills are on at 1pm, so I think your friend will be busy watching them.
1) If you have Directv BUY THE SUNDAY TICKET. It pays for itself after elimiantion the first 5 trips to the Sportsbar (food and beer) to watch the Pats. 2) There has to be a sportsbar in your area that has Sunday Ticket. Check that out, if you dont have directv yet, or just cant afford the package. Everywhere Ive ever been there are tons of bars with Sunday Ticket and enough TVs to show all games. Grab the phone book and call a few bars and ask if they have Sunday ticket. Its worth the time if it prevents you from missing the Pats.
They have a promotion where you get the premium package plus the Ticket for $70/month for four months. You're basically getting the rest of your channels free, so it's a good deal.
Lol!!! Thanks for the advice guys, I'll go make a sales pitch to my parents! Do you know if it works like pay-per-view where after I call Directv, it will activate itself, or does a Directv person have to come to my house?
I have to say, buy the ticket! We did, and we did it earlier than July, so we only paid $220. I decided very early on that I was not messing around with sports bars where you have to "pay to stay" essentially. eta: It activates itself. Nobody needs to come to the house.
I've had the ticket for 4 years It costs about $15 per week. A lot cheaper than the 50+ it was costing to go to the Sports bar every Sunday. My wife is not a cheap date.
Well, it activates itself after install, but it needs to be installed first. For that you have 2 options. Call directv or order it online through directv.com. Right now they are offering the DVR upgrade for free, a MUST have for any football fan. But bear in mind they probably cannot get you installed until later in the week. You could try your local Bestbuy and see if they are carrying any equipment for their sales of directv that you can take home and install yourself; not too difficult a task if you have a friend to help you dial in your signal when you do it and a few basic tools. You also need consider the fact that there is a committment to programming involved. The NFL ticket package is an awesome deal getting every movie channel they offer and every NFL game for 70 dollars, but at the end of the regular season you will need to downgrade your package to save some dough or pay a 100 bucks+ a month. Not sure what the committment is right now, I have had directv for a couple of years so I am no longer under contract. For this weeks game though I agree with the other posters. Find a friend with the game on directv or head for a bar.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
So, you want to purchase a version of War and Peace, but you dont know which one to get. Turns out that you have a series of decisions to make. First question is whether you want to go for the 1956 Hollywood version staring Audrey Hepburn, Henry Fonda, and Mel Ferrer or the 1967 Russian version directed by Sergei Bondarchuk. Most lovers of Tolstoy will urge you to bypass the Hollywood version, which does very poor justice to the novel in multiple respects -- from plot, to the development of the characters, to the essential Russian character of the film. The only truly memorable aspect of the Hollywood version is Audrey Hepburn as Natasha, and even there, she is matched by her counterpart in the Russian version. The 1967 Russian version is widely considered the definitive film version of War and Peace, providing the most faithful adaptation of the great novel. Like the novel itself, it is of epic proportions. It was a Soviet-Italian co-production produced over a span of seven years, from 1960 to 1967, at a cost in excess of $100 million dollars. Adjusting for inflation, the Russian version of War and Peace remains the most costly film ever made. Tens of thousands of extras were utilized for the great battle scenes. The historical authenticity is meticulous, accurately recreating the settings and lifestyles of the Russian nobility of the early nineteenth century. Lavishness and authenticity is especially evident in the sleigh ride scene and the marvelous ballroom scenes. Paintings, furnishings, and even pottery were loaned to the production by Russian museums. The costumes are utterly gorgeous. The enormity, realism, and horror of the battle scenes are unsurpassed in film history (comparing favorably in that respect even with films such as Ran and Saving Private Ryan). The all-Russian cast is superbly suited to their respective roles. Since filming extended over seven years, the maturation of characters most notably Natasha, from child to young woman is made more credible by the actual aging of the respective actors and actresses. The director, Sergei Bondarchuk, also plays the part of Pierre Bezuhov, the character who most provides continuity to the narrative. His is the most demanding portrayal. Lyudmila Savelyeva is so entirely effective as Natasha Rostova that she has become the personification of Natasha for many Tolstoy fans. Vyacheslaw Tikhonov is suitably imposing, handsome, and nobel as Prince Andrey Bolkonsky. The filming techniques of director Sergei Bondarchuk provide both strengths and weaknesses. Bondarchuk is typically applauded for his use of crane shots, sweeping pans, and shaky cam technique, but excessive reliance on certain faddish and gaudy techniques of the 1960s, including the blue-screen technique, now seem dated and inappropriate. Some criticize Bondarchuk for excessive reliance on narration and interior monologue in lieu of dialog and dramatic action. Overall, the film lacks some of the polish of the best Hollywood films. Even with those limitations, many consider Bondarchuks War and Peace among the greatest films ever made, and certainly among the most spectacular. It received the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film in 1969. The ballroom scene when Natasha attends her first dance is among the most magnificently romantic and beautifully filmed scenes in movie history. So, perhaps now youve decided to purchase Bondarchuks Russian version! Your decisions are not yet complete, however. Now you must decide between four available formats, two VHS alternatives and two DVD choices, as follows: 1. VHS, Kultur version (formatted for TV screen), 380 minutes, dubbed in English This version is the shortest in length and typically least expensive version, but most viewers find the dubbed version of this film far less satisfying than hearing the Russian (and French, at times, since the Russian nobility often spoke French in that time period) and reading English subtitles. For one thing, the quality of the dubbing is poor. A minority of viewers prefer watching the dubbed version because it permits closer attention to the action and facial expressions. I strongly recommend a Russian language version with English subtitles in preference to this dubbed version. 2. VHS Kultur version (formatted for TV screen), 403 minutes, English subtitles This is the version that I recommend for those requiring VHS rather than DVD. One advantage is the greater authenticity and drama in hearing the Russian language dialog; the other reason is the 23 minutes of added footage. 3. DVD Kultur version (formatted for TV screen), 403 minutes, English subtitles Virtually identical to the foregoing after digital transfer. The image is a bit scratchy and less vivid than in the following alternative. 4. DVD Image Entertainment Inc. version (letterbox), 431 minutes, wide variety of dubbing or subtitles choices This version is typically twice the cost of the preceding but provides some substantial advantages as well as one disappointing hassle. First off, the panoramic battle scenes and ballroom scenes are often better served by the widescreen presentation. Second, this version restores another 28 minutes of censored scenes from the original. Third, the digital transfer is superior to the Kultur version, being partially restored. Fourth, this version comes with a number of extras, including a good documentary about the making of the film and a rather boring interview with a film executive. And fifth, the viewer can choose between dubbing or subtitles and among several languages. This fifth benefit, however, turns out to be a mixed blessing at best, since the English language options, in particular, have some annoying deficiencies. If you select English dubbing, some portions of the film are not dubbed at all, at which times subtitles usually appear even if they were not selected. Sometimes this version of the film switches from dubbing to subtitles in the middle of a scene. In some sections, when characters are speaking in French, neither dubbing nor subtitles occur. There are also some differences in translation from Russia to English in the Kultur vs. the Image Entertainment versions, but which is better in the various spots is really a matter of personal preference. Bottom Line: War and Peace is one of the greatest novels ever written, combining great characters, psychological insights, and a grand historical context. The 1967 Russian film version is far superior to any other. If youre choosing VHS, pick the subtitle version in preference to the dubbed version. If youre choosing DVD, youll need to weigh the pros and cons between the two alternatives. If youre prepared to pay top dollar, prefer letterbox, want the most vivid visual presentation, want the documentary extra, and are prepared to overlook some dubbing and subtitles irregularities, go for the Image Entertainment version. If you want to spend less, prefer full-screen, or will find subtitle annoyances excessively distressing, go with the Kultur DVD. ************************************************************************************************* You might want to check out these other excellent films from Russia and the U.S.S.R.: Alexander Nevsky Andrei Rublev Anna Karenina Ballad of a Soldier Burnt By the Sun Come and See The Cranes Are Flying Dersu Uzala Don Quixote Freeze Die Ivan the Terrible Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears Nostalghia Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors Solaris Strike

Under Steve Donahue, Boston College has ranged far from Chestnut Hill to find recruits. The Eagles continued that trend with reports that they will be adding a big man from Sweden to their 2013 class.
<SNY.tv has reported> that Boston College has landed Bill Magarity, who played overseas in Italy with for the professional team, Biella. The 6-foot-11, 255-pound forward, who turned 20 as of Monday, comes from Sweden, but has some family history in America, as his father, Bill Sr., was Catholic League MVP in Philadelphia in 1971.
DraftExpress.com ranked Magarity as the 23rd best international NBA prospect of all prospects born in 1993. He only played one minute for Biella last season, when he recorded zero stats, but two years ago, he recorded 0.4 points per game and 0.4 rebounds per game in five games.
It isn't clear just yet whether Magarity will be eligible to play immediately. NCAA rules state that players may play for professional teams as long as they don't receive impermissible benefits. In 2011, the NCAA ruled Kentucky's Enes Kanter permanently ineligible after determining that he received more than $33,000 in impermissible benefits while playing professionally in Turkey.
"He played only like junior player , never winter with [a] professional contract," Biella team president Marco Atripaldi told SNY.tv in an email.
If he's eligible immediately, Magarity should provide some depth in the frontcourt next year at the very least, but Boston College fans will hope his exposure to professional basketball will allow him to be a meaningful contributor early on.

"Not being able to put out another record until another five years after touring seemed uninspiring to me- so it's in an album in parts. It's a way of breaking it up a bit. It allowed me to record and tour at the same time. So that was the main reason for doing it – a practical solution.

ST. LOUIS COUNTY (KMOV.com) – A fire that broke out Wednesday in North County may have been caused by fireworks.
The flames began on the back deck of an apartment at a complex in the 10000 block of Crown Point. The fire spread to one unit causing heavy damage.
Surrounding units were damaged as well, but the extent of the damage is reportedly minor.
The fire department is investigating the possibility the fire began due to fireworks as they found fresh residue from fireworks on the deck.

OpenSUSE Conf 2009: OpenSUSE 11.2 with Microblogging, But Not WebYaST
On the outskirts of the OpenSUSE Conference, core developers revealed details on the new openSUSE version 11.2. Although it will have Kernel 2.6.31, browser users will have to wait a bit longer for YaST.
For the first meeting ever of openSUSE developers in Nuremberg, Germany, September 17-20, where Linux distro project members have until Sunday to mingle, 300 participants registered, of which half are from Novell. The idea was to form personal contacts and clarify factual issues. As community manager Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier expressed it, "a thirty-minute conversation here is often more effective than a week-long discussion in the IRC."
When all the votes were in, openSUSE coworkers such as Novell project manager Andreas Jaeger revealed certain goals for openSUSE 11.2 planned for release on November 12, at least according to the latest milestone. Next to the current software versions that Jaeger claims are easy to integrate via SUSE Build Service, developers are working especially on the robustness of package management. As Jaeger promises, "The functionality at installation and updating will not change, but when a download aborts, the tool will automatically search for the next server or load packages from multiple servers." The next step is to bring social networks to the desktop.
The social networking idea for the desktop, already hot at Linuxtag, became more concrete at the OpenSUSE Conf via KDE developer Will Stephenson of Novell. With openSUSE 11.2, users can branch off from the browser to Twitter and Facebook. The building block is KDE 4.3, which, compared to the upstream developed network manager in previous versions, is preconfigured with connection data to UMTS networks, although it probably won't make it until the next release. The same fate will probably greet WebYaST, a configuration frontend managed from the browser. After learning from past mistakes, the decision was not to create an interface automatically but manually, therefore openSUSE 11.2 contains only the framework, with a serious number of plug-ins available to developers only in the subsequent version due out in the spring of 2010.

One environmental complaint about Houston is the lack of recycling centers and recycling programs available to Houstonians. This may be so, but there are more recycling opportunities than most people think. The list below is a listing of the easiest items to recycle.
A lot of recyclable material can be placed in recycled bins used for curbside recycling. Houstonians lucky enough to live in area where curbside recycling exists can easily find out what items are allowed in their recycling bin and what items are not allowed in the bin by visiting the City of Houston website and click on Recycling Overview.
To find out where to pick up a recycling bin call 311 or jot down the number on the side of the recycling truck when it comes by on the next recycling day. The rest of the Houstonians who do not have curbside recycling where they live still have plenty of opportunities to recycle these four basic items: paper, newspaper, magazines, and plastic.
The three easiest types of items to recycle in Houston are: paper, newspaper and magazine. Large blue or green recycling bins can be found at just about any elementary school, nonprofit organization such as a church or at a large chain local grocery store such as HEB. These large bins are usually parked in or near the parking lot so that they are of easy access to the people. Money is given back to the organization for every ton recycled at their location. It is an easy and eco-friendly fundraising opportunity.
Plastic recycling is a little different because it all depends on the plastic number label. To find out what number is on the bottom of a plastic container Houstonians can take a look at the bottom of the plastic containers. Most plastic grocery bags can be dropped off inside a Kroger, HEB, Wal-Mart or other local store. For other plastics there are large blue or green recycling bins like the paper ones, outside some local stores.
One thing for Houstonians to keep in mind is to try their best to reuse an item before taking it somewhere to recycle.

I just finished reading Joy Nash's DEEP MAGIC and loved it. She has a knack for making her paranormal elements seem entirely plausible within the framework of the venerable Arthurian legend. I totally bought the shape-shifting and magic she wove into her tale. DEEP MAGIC is the best of both historical and paranormal--a deft marriage of both.
I think what makes it work so well is that her paranormal elements are so intrinsic to the characters. They believe so deeply I have to as well. Joy does a brilliant job of pitting Light and Dark spiritual powers against each other along with the inscrutable DEEP MAGIC that no mortal can wield with certainty of the outcome. Her story works in all the worlds.

My 5th team is almost done, and for the first time ever, I actually cared about the techs I was teaching the guys.
My 5th team is almost done, and for the first time ever, I actually cared about the techs I was teaching the guys.
Thanks Ravsieg, I checked it out. I particularly liked your OMFG ZzZ team, it was indeed bad that Renji kept making attempts to screw up your team and make you lose valuable skills though. Your Ryo Hunt team was also interesting, still, you just had to lose to Momoshiro and Ann... Do you call the Oishi/Ryo pair anything?
I look forward to seeing your 5th team.
Thanks again for the troubles, maybe I should go follow your example and set up a site with my teams as well, it's something yet to be done on the internet (until now that is).
Edit: Damn your Sengoku is powerful, and funny having Kikumaru using the Scud Serve and reciting it (same with Sengoku reciting 'Hametsu no Rondo' lol).

where can i get this game?
Try play-asia.com, they're pretty reliable, plus it's cheap at the moment (around $US20-25, and it's worth every cent of it). Also be sure to have a modded PS2 so you can play it.

Thanks for reading it! Makes it worth doing all the work.
Well, Ryo Hunt was meant for just what it says. Ryo himself turned into a neat player, but I didn't really give the partnership a name haha.
Sengoku was my focus on that team, but I think Sanada is more dangerous despite not being as godly as Sengoku on the stats. Yanagi, despite crapping it up near the end, would probably be the best player had I upgraded his stats on the nats rather than Sengoku. He has countless positive skills.
Ah and by the way, the team relationship on that team was 95%. It has 80% on it but that's because I copied the page from the other team and edited stuff and I forgot that part.
I'm currently on the tournament with my fifth team. It was a failed attempt to unlock Yukimura (I unlocked Sakaki and Fukushi instead, so Yukimura is now the only character still locked). I might add, the players are both Fujis (elder is the leader), Kirihara and Hiyoshi.
I had tried to use Akutsu as the leader instead, but no-one would accept my invitations except Dan.
Even with Shusuke as the leader, I wanted to have a 5-man team. Him, Yuuta, Saeki, Otori and Kirihara. Saeki rejected my invitation, and I wonder why.
Right afterwards Echizen asked to join the team, but it didn't matter since I reloaded the game not to waste a week with a rejected invitation.
Otori also rejected the call (he probably wants Shishido on the team first, the personality-deprived guy) so as I wanted to unlock Sakaki, I went for another Hyotei guy: Hiyoshi.
Last edited by Ravsieg; 08-15-2007 at 07:49 AM.
It was a pleasure, I was getting sick and tired of not being able to find much on the net about the game, in fact, I have to say that this thread and your webpage are the only things with any FTST material that's not redundant and worth looking at.
Yeah, Sanada probably is better due to the selection of techniques he has, namely the 'Reclined Dragon' (it's pretty much 'Ka' with a different name for those who don't know). Yanagi, well it's no surprise he's not the best player considering how he kept screwing you over. The positive skills though do make up for it, though I never looked at those while training my team, just whenever I felt they gained a negative skill I simply reload the game, so I'm bound to have little to no negative skills.
Yukimura, somehow I got him unlocked without knowing it, I think I unknowingly unlocked the event to get him. However he's not a good player in my opinion, he's got good stats but no skills to start off with.
Akutsu, geez, so not only is he near impossible to recruit, he also has trouble with getting other people to join too (same with Atsushi when I tried him). Truth be told I originally had him in mind for my main team on page 1 instead of Niou, but he always rejected me... I think the guy needs to start making friends.
Saeki rejected the invitation? Was he already part of another team? He should consider himself greatful he was even considered as a possible candidate considering he's not a good player. Ootori is no surprise, he's a pretty difficult guy if you don't have a strong leader. Hiyoshi, good choice, he has some pretty useful moves (part of the reason why he's a member of my strongest team).
Damn I wish I was home to play (typing this in class), I feel like trying to come up with more interesting combinations for teams (last few turned out bad).
(My page has been updated with the Fifth Team. I think I'll do a default partnership FAQ and a points tierlist now!)
You were right on that. Saeki turned out to be on the rival team. His loss. XD I only knew it when I went for the final match though.
As for recruiting, I'm starting to think it actually depends on the team of the character you pick as leader. When I was Yanagizawa, no-one accepted me except Kaido. Akutsu, same except it was Dan. But when I picked Akutagawa, who isn't any better than Akutsu but is a Hyotei player, Yanagi accepted right away. And Sanada came along!
One more thing; do you know how I can awaken the latent skills?
can anyone upload form the strongest team? =x
emule + me = noob
dont know how to use it, dont know any pages for emule

Portion Distortion
Posted By Worker Bee On June 29, 2008 @ 10:09 am In Health,Humor | No Comments
Which came first, the larger waistline or the bigger portion size? This is like one of those philosophical questions about art imitating life or the chicken/egg paradox.
Do food companies simply cater to the desires of the overweight by serving them more food? Or are people overweight because food companies keep on ramping up their plate sizes in an effort to outdo their competition? Or maybe it is both and we have a horrifying positive feedback loop on our hands. This is a playful rhetorical mind-game for the purpose of this post (albeit one with a serious answer and grave consequences).
At the end of the day, the fact remains that 20 years ago portion size was a fraction of what we see today. To demonstrate this the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) put together a Portion Distortion quiz [7]. Try it for yourself and be blown away by the results.

Emily Rebecca Thorne[1] (previously Grayson; born Amanda Clarke) is a fictional character and the protagonist of the ABC television series Revenge, portrayed by Emily VanCamp.[2]
Emily Thorne has been described as a flawed and multifaceted heroine figure.[3][4] Due to her father being betrayed and her being forced into foster care and juvenile detention, Thorne has become emotionally troubled. Emily VanCamp, who portrays Thorne, described the character as having become "corrupted" to the point where VanCamp was concerned that it would be difficult to make Thorne appealing to audiences. The character usually appears calm and cold while dealing with difficult circumstances but as the series progresses, she begins to reveal vulnerabilities in her demeanor and reacts more emotionally to situations, which also impedes her efforts to get vengeance.[3] According to VanCamp, Thorne has tried to bury her emotions but has an unstable emotional side, which means her feelings come out in extremes.[5]
In Revenge Thorne serves as a modern female version of Edmond Dantès, the lead character from the The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, which is the novel that inspired the series.[6] According to Anthony Letizia of alterna-Tv.com, similar to Dantès being falsely imprisoned for fourteen years on the charge of treason, Thorne was imprisoned in juvenile detention[a] and her father was framed for the crime of financing a terrorist attack on the United States. Letizia notes several more similarities between the characters such as both of them training in combat after leaving incarceration in preparation for their plans of revenge and both pursuing revenge against a group of powerful and wealthy conspirators.[7]
Her pursuit of revenge has been noted as a sympathetic aspect of the character. Commentators cited recent economic difficulties as making viewers more receptive to Thorne's efforts to get revenge against a group of privileged elites for the harm they caused her family.[3][8] VanCamp described the character as "quite justified in what she's doing" adding that "everybody can connect with the theme of revenge, whether they act on it or not." The character's "girl next door" appearance is attributed as contributing to this appeal, with show producer Mike Kelly suggesting that it means viewers are "rooting for her even though she's doing something that's kind of diabolical."[9]
Madeline Stowe, who portrays the antagonist Victoria Grayson on Revenge, has likened her own character to Thorne. Stowe notes the two characters as being complicated and said that Thorne is on a similarly amoral path as Victoria.[3] She suggests that because of these similarities her character is able to recognize "something really amiss" about Thorne.[10] Lyle Masaki of AfterElton also noted similarities between the characters stating that they are "equally cool customers, equally matched and neither are completely sympathetic."[11]
Like her father, she is incredibly intelligent and is capable of resolving complicated situations with great cleverness. She also received training in martial arts and speaks fluent French and Japanese. Season one, episode 11 also shows that she a proficient shooter who scores six perfect shots in a shooting range with a handgun. While she is very determined to seek revenge, none of her plans have resulted in her committing murder, although most deaths that occur on the show happen because in the chain of events that she set in motion, others commit murder. She has chastised both Aiden and Amanda for some of the murders they committed and attempted to prevent them from committing more, though she herself was determined for a time to kill Gordon Murphy and later the Graysons.
"Illusion" reveals Emily's birthdate as July 13, 1984, making her 27–28 years old during the events of season 2, which takes place in 2012. She has a net worth of $500 million, as stated on the show (although ABC.com's biography states that "only Emily Thorne knows").
As of "Endurance" Emily's wounds from being shot in the stomach by Daniel have left her unable to have biological children. This has caused her to push Aiden away out of grief and to finally target Daniel, her shooter, in her revenge.
Emily is forced to take matters to extreme measures by going under the new identity of Homeland security agent Rebecca Stone to continue her path of revenge as the Graysons slowly get the upper hand.
Amanda Clarke was the daughter of the Clarke family, living in the Hamptons in 1992. Her mother, Kara Wallace, was said to have died of illness when Amanda was five, although Amanda later discovered her mother was trying to protect her by institutionalizing herself, due to her psychological issues. David, who worked as a hedge fund manager at Grayson Global, was having an affair with his boss Conrad Grayson's wife, Victoria, and they were prepared to divorce their respective spouses to marry each other. During this time, Conrad Grayson, Victoria's husband, laundered money to a group of terrorists to help bring down Flight 197, and manipulated the evidence to point to David Clarke. The FBI stormed David's house and arrested him for treason, while Amanda was taken into foster care for at least eight years, and she never saw her father again. She spent two years at Alanwood Juvenile Detention Center, until she was released to Nolan Ross, a friend of her father's, who informed her of the truth and gave her a wooden box dubbed the "Infinity Box", with a double infinity sign carved onto the top along with 49% shares of stock in Nolan's computer software company, NolCorp, in which her father had invested. The box was filled with numerous photographs, journals, newspaper articles, notes and mementos of her father, and had a secret lockbox containing a photograph of the people in Grayson Global. She has a tattoo on her wrist of the same double infinity symbol, representing her father's love "for infinity times infinity", as he told her as a child. Her father had pleaded with her in his journals not to confront the true culprits behind Flight 197, but she refused to follow his advice. She spends several years doing research on the several members of the conspiracy and creating an elaborate fake back-story by changing her name to the one of her former cellmate.
This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (May 2014) |
This section may stray from the topic of the article. (May 2014) |
The "Pilot" begins by showing the future "Fire and Ice" engagement party for Emily and Daniel Grayson, the son of Conrad and Victoria Grayson, taking place on Labor Day Weekend. All seems to be going well until a body assumed to be Daniel's is discovered on the beach by his sister Charlotte.
Five months before, Emily rents her childhood beach home and begins her revenge plan. She plots to take down Lydia Davis, her father's secretary, "Uncle" Bill Harmon, an ex-family friend, then-prosecutor Tom Kingsly, now a senator, Michelle Banks, the therapist who separated her family, Frank Stevens, the Grayson head of security who assisted in the coverup, and Mason Treadwell, a writer coerced by the Graysons to corroborate their story.
Meanwhile, Daniel's college friend, Tyler Barrol, shows up in the Hamptons to stay with the Graysons. Emily is distrustful of him from the start, while Emily's friend and Victoria's event planner, Ashley Davenport, is smitten with him. When Lydia returns, determined to get her house and reputation back after her affair with Conrad was revealed, she blackmails the Graysons and Emily. Emily, however, sets her up to take the fall for her other takedowns, causing Frank Stevens to throw her off her balcony, although she survives.
Emily sends Conrad a video recording of the Frank and Lydia incident, which causes Conrad to fire Frank. As a result, Frank attempts to regain favor with the Graysons by digging into Emily's past. He discovers "Amanda Clarke", or the real Emily Thorne, but she murders him before he can warn Victoria. After "Amanda" alerts Emily to the killing, Emily has Nolan guard her while she sets up the Graysons for Frank's murder. Her attempts to send Amanda away fail, and her former cellmate stays in the Hamptons and becomes involved with Emily's old friend Jack Porter.
Tyler, meanwhile, becomes a larger problem, and Emily enlists Nolan to get rid of him, only for him to begin a romantic relationship with Tyler. Emily exposes Tyler to Daniel, but Tyler ends up blackmailing Conrad when he tries to fire him. Emily steals the leverage Tyler has on Conrad, and Daniel evicts him from Grayson Manor. Daniel's birthday party later goes awry when Tyler appears and holds the party at gunpoint. Daniel and Jack get the upper hand and have Tyler arrested by the police.
Emily's antepenultimate target Mason Treadwell later returns. She burns down his home and steals several of his interview tapes, which reveal that Charlotte, the Graysons' daughter, is her biological half-sister. Emily uses this against Victoria, and Conrad threatens to expose this information in the midst of their divorce proceedings.
Emily returns home one day to find her Infinity Box missing. Tyler informs her that he has escaped custody, stole her Box and kidnapped Amanda. When Amanda turns on Emily, she enlists her mentor Satoshi Takeda for assistance at her engagement party. Takeda retrieves her Infinity Box and murders Tyler on the beach before fleeing with Amanda. Returning to the starting point of the pilot, the partygoers find that the body is not that of Daniel, but Tyler, and Daniel becomes the prime suspect. Emily discovers that Victoria hired a contractor named Lee Moran to attack Daniel in order to have him released from jail. Emily implicates Moran in Tyler's murder, and he is later found dead in prison, seemingly having committed suicide, although Emily discovers through bugs in the Grayson home that Conrad contracted to have him killed by the same man as her father's killer.
Starting her inquest into her father's murder, Emily learns that Conrad often spoke with a "white-haired man", whom she discovers is her father's killer. She becomes determined to kill him. Victoria acquires immunity as she exposes Conrad to the SEC. She later hands evidence of David Clarke's innocence over to Daniel, only for Emily to steal it from Daniel's briefcase.
In the first season finale, Emily confronts the white-haired man when he kidnaps Nolan. She and the white-haired man engage in a fight, but she spares his life at the last possible second. Nolan hands over the evidence to the SEC, but as Victoria and Lydia come forward as witnesses, the plane carrying them to the hearing crashes, supposedly killing them and destroying the evidence. This, along with romantic troubles Emily later has, devastates her. However, Nolan reveals that he backed up a hard drive in Conrad's evidence, which contains a video that reveals Emily's supposedly deceased mother to be alive.
In the second season premiere, the Amanda (Jack's boat) is shown as having sunk, with a body implied to be that of Jack. Three months earlier, Emily returns to the Hamptons after a long absence and begins to investigate her mother, Kara Wallace Clarke. At a Memorial Day party, Charlotte tells Emily that Victoria is alive and in hiding before she is taken back to rehab in a conspiracy arranged by Conrad. When Victoria learns that Emily knows she is alive, she contracts the white-haired man to kill her.
Victoria double-crosses the white-haired man (Gordon Murphy), who was helping her and Charlotte to disappear, causing him to seek out Emily for her exonerating bug tapes. She offers them in exchange for information about her mother, but Murphy is killed by Emily's ex-lover Aiden Mathis before she can learn more, as Murphy is attempting to kill her again.
Kara eventually resurfaces, but recognizes Amanda, not Emily as her daughter. Mason Treadwell also returns, and discovers the truth about Amanda Clarke only to be framed by Emily for Gordon Murphy's death. They strike a deal in which he will take the fall until Emily finishes her revenge, in exchange for the rights to her biography and an exoneration.
Emily assists Daniel in the CEO election at Grayson Global, his victory managing to draw out Helen Crowley from the Initiative. Emily abducts Crowley and Aiden and "dies" in an ensuing shootout in a ruse to make Crowley trust Aiden. Convinced that Victoria was involved, Crowley orders Aiden to kill her with the promise of his kidnapped sister's release, although Colleen Mathis was murdered in 2006. Believing her to be a danger to Daniel, Victoria kills Crowley and leads the Initiative to believe that Amanda was behind her disappearance.
The Initiative's intentions soon become clear: with the use of Nolan's incomplete "Carrion" project, they will knock out the power in Manhattan for their next attack. To this end, they hire a young woman named Padma Lahari to obtain it from Nolan, a mission complicated by the relationship they develop.
Emily learns that Conrad has bought half of the Stowaway and urges Amanda to buy it back, though when Conrad refuses to sell it Amanda uses Emily's laptop without her knowledge to blackmail him. Emily discovers a man on the Amanda in Declan's photos, who Nolan identifies as Nate Ryan, a mobster with a vendetta against Jack. The two of them rescue Jack, though in an ensuing fight Nate destroys the boat and mortally wounds Amanda, who dies in Emily's arms on the water.
Her thirst for revenge reborn after Amanda's death, Emily sets out to identify and locate both Edith "the Fa1c0n" Lee, a hacker employed by the Initiative who thwarts efforts to save Padma, and Patrick Harper, the secret firstborn son of Victoria's. Because of Lee, Nolan is unable to locate Padma before she is killed by "Trask" from the Initiative. Emily, Nolan and Aiden avenge Padma by having Lee arrested by the FBI, and killing Trask.
As Daniel and Emily become re-engaged, Takeda returns with knowledge of the Initiative's next attack, but he is killed by Aiden in self-defense when he threatens to reveal Takeda's separate agenda: avenging his fiancé, the unrecorded 247th passenger on Flight 197. Afterwards, Aiden and Nolan bankrupt the Graysons against Emily's wishes, which activates the stolen Carrion program and shuts down the power across all of New York, commencing the Initiative's next attack.
In the first part of the season finale, Emily learns that Takeda was tracking an assassin named Gregor Hoffman, who she finds posing as an IT tech at Grayson Global. Conrad, who reveals to Victoria he has been a member of the Initiative since he met Helen Crowley, attempts to have Jack killed at the headquarters, leading him to believe Emily's laptop is there. In the midst of his gubernatorial election speech, an explosion occurs close by at the company with Jack and Declan inside.
In the second part, Emily learns that while Jack escaped before the explosion, Declan did not. Daniel sends the police after Aiden with the belief that he perpetrated the attack, which leads to his arrest, although he is released after proving his innocence and Nolan is instead arrested unbeknownst to Emily. However, Aiden's fate is left uncertain after Daniel is seen with a bloodied shirt following a confrontation. After Declan dies of his injuries, Jack attempts to murder Conrad as he is making his winning speech, though he is stopped when Emily tearfully reveals to him her true identity.
In the third season premiere, Emily is shown in a wedding dress on a boat. She turns around, and apologizes to an unknown person, before she is shot twice, causing her to fall into the water. Two months earlier, she returns to the Hamptons having spent six months in Paris. Ashley desperately tries to blackmail her way into Emily's Memorial Day party, therefore making herself a liability to Emily. She poisons Conrad (for a second time) during his speech at the party, causes him to be falsely diagnosed with Huntington's disease, and leaks this to the press. Victoria, convinced it was Ashley's doing, orders Ashley to board a plane back to Croydon. Emily and Daniel set a date for their wedding: August 8th (symbolizing the double infinity symbol of her father), the day she destroys Victoria.
Emily sets her sights on taking down Father Paul Whitley, a former employee at Grayson Global, though Nolan (who has exonerated himself) believes he has changed. Emily successfully takes him down. Whitley seems to get at Emily, who immediately feels, for the first time, guilt that her plan succeeded. To atone, she goes to Whitley to request his assistance (without revealing her true identity) in making Conrad confess to the entire conspiracy. Just as it seems Conrad will confess, Emily pulls up to a crashed car on the side of the road and finds Whitley severely injured.
After Whitley dies in the hospital, Emily is suspicious that Conrad murdered him. She and Jack, who partially reconciles with her, prove that the brakes were tampered with, so Conrad was not responsible. Emily initially suspects Aiden (who has returned) tampered with the brakes and tells him Jack knows her secret, causing him to deflect blame for the accident onto Jack out of jealousy, which infuriates Emily. It is revealed that Patrick - who has reunited with Victoria - caused the accident in an attempt to kill Conrad and protect his mother.
Emily reveals her final plan to Nolan and Jack: fake her death, and frame Victoria for her murder on her wedding day. After this she will disappear to the Maldives with Aiden, without a trace. To keep Daniel in her grasp, Emily claims she is pregnant. Lydia Davis, thought to have died in the plane crash at the end of season 1, returns and discovers that Emily doctored her photo of the New Years Party in 2002, which features her in disguise.
The wedding arrives, with Emily's plan to fake her death and frame Victoria for murder initially appearing to be going off without a hitch until Lydia comes aboard and shows Victoria the photo, which confirms her suspicions Emily is a gold-digger. Victoria confronts Emily and speculates the pregnancy is fake, which Emily confirms, unaware that Daniel has heard everything. In a drunken rage he picks up the gun left by Aiden and shoots her twice in the stomach, and she falls into the water.
After barely managing to get help, Emily is diagnosed with transient global amnesia and Victoria is suspected as the shooter. Aiden believes Emily is faking her amnesia and attempts to rescue her, but she truly does not remember him and alerts security, though he escapes. While speaking to Charlotte, Emily tells her her father's name: David Clarke. Making an emotional connection with both Charlotte and Jack, who gives her Amanda's necklace (which Emily had left for him before leaving) she regains her memories, including the identity of her shooter.
Discharged into Victoria's care, Emily meets Niko, Takeda's daughter, who poses as her nurse and begins to assist her. Niko has a "revengenda" of her own, having come to the Hamptons to hunt down her father's killer. Emily initially plans to flee the Hamptons, but she changes her mind when she discovers that because of her injuries she will never bear her own children. She outs Lydia as her shooter to the press, blackmailing Daniel and Victoria to remain in the Grayson family.
Emily begins suffering mysterious blackouts, which result in her calling Conrad's ex-wife Stevie at Conrad's suggestion to divorce Daniel. Aiden is abducted by Niko, who has discovered he killed her father, and she vows to kill Emily as revenge. Emily, unarmed manages to defeat an armed Niko in a difficult struggle, but releases her just before killing her. Aiden helps Emily to realize the blackouts are the result of a repressed memory where her father tells her they will be a family with Victoria. Accepting this causes the blackouts to end.
Stevie, who believes David was innocent, discovers that Emily and Jack (her son) were trying to expose the Graysons and reveals the existence of evidence disks confiscated by her law firm. Jack steals them, and they are revealed to contain a letter written by Victoria's current lover Pascal LeMarchal, mentioning Aiden's father. Further investigations lead Aiden to Oscar Chapman, a reporter that is now in hiding from the Graysons. Chapman reveals that Trevor Mathis was killed, not by his own hands, by Pascal, who in the present day tracks down Chapman and silences him as well. Emily poses as a Homeland Security agent and wins Pascal's allegiance in extracting a confession out of Conrad. However, this goes completely awry when he is pushed into a helicopter blade by Conrad and killed instantly.
With all other options exhausted, Emily abducts Charlotte and holds her for ransom, demanding that Conrad and Victoria confess to their crimes, but then releases her sister and has her extract a confession from Conrad while wired, which is then broadcast on television. Conrad is arrested and a judge reopens the David Clarke case upon receiving "new evidence", finally exonerating him. Jack tells Emily he searched the cabin of a man who was stalking Charlotte and found a ring which Emily recognizes as belonging to her father, which is discovered to be her grandfather's cabin. Upon searching it, she is attacked by Kurt Renner and realizes he was trying to get her DNA. Victoria is onto Emily. She has Aiden go to Michelle Banks, her old psychiatrist to demand her assistance in destroying Victoria, but Victoria has anticipated Aiden's visit. She immobilizes him with drugged tea and then smothers him to death.
Conrad escapes from prison with the help of a guard, but is murdered outside by none other than David Clarke, who is alive and well.
In her final revenge against Victoria, Emily subdues Victoria and has her committed to a psychiatric facility. Emily walks away as Victoria struggles and repeatedly screams that Emily is Amanda Clarke.
In the fourth season premiere, picking up six months following the events of "Execution", Emily has taken over Grayson Manor. She finds it difficult to move on from revenge, and to to accept her true identity as Amanda Clarke. Making matters complicated, Victoria escapes from the psychiatric hospital and makes her return known to Emily.
Charlotte begins to have monetary and romantic troubles, which cause her to attempt to commit suicide by jumping off a building. Emily, Jack and the police manage to stop her from jumping. Emily finally reveals her true identity to her half-sister, only to be angrily rebuffed and almost killed when Charlotte leaves her unconscious in the Stowaway and sets it on fire, although Jack saves Emily. Emily forgives Charlotte against the advice of her friends, and some time later they partially reconcile, and Charlotte leaves for rehab. One night, a hooded man attempts to kill Emily, but is scared off by Nolan. They are unable to recognize the assailant.
Asked to look at suspects at the police station, Emily is extremely shocked when she sees her father among them. After being revealed as David Clarke, David issues a statement claiming that he was locked away and tortured by Conrad. Emily finds evidence suggesting that this is untrue and that David murdered Conrad. This and Victoria's working to keep David in her grasp delays Emily coming out to him as his daughter. She finally does, however, when she steals a USB drive from his safety deposit box containing photographs of the late "Amanda Clarke" (the real Emily Thorne). She angrily confronts David and reveals her true identity, though their reunion is interrupted when Victoria is hit by an electrical shock in a storm outside.
Two men attempt to abduct David when he is with Victoria at the hospital, but Emily intervenes. David reveals that a more dangerous rival of Conrad's was responsible for his absence. David refuses to let Emily assist him. Emily goes against his wishes and holds one of the would-be abductors hostage, attempting to torture him, though he reveals nothing. His accomplice, arrested by the police, is found having supposedly committed suicide in his cell. Emily has her doubts and suspects Chief Alvarez, but later discovers evidence that implicates FBI Agent Kate Taylor, who has recently arrived in the Hamptons.
The choice of VanCamp to portray the character was generally well-received among critics, with Scott Pierce of The Salt Lake Tribune citing VanCamp's past involvement with Everwood and Brothers & Sisters as helping audiences contrast Thorne's sympathetic appearance with her ruthless pursuit of vengeance.[9] VanCamp's portrayal of the character has been praised by several critics for how she has depicted Thorne's charming and duplicitous nature.[8][15] Daniel Fienberg of HitFix has been more negative regarding the portrayal of the character. When the show premiered Fienberg stated that, while he was appreciative of VanCamp's work on other shows, he felt she was "passive" in the role of Thorne and that she portrayed the character as "robotically efficient", which made Thorne a less sympathetic character for him.[16]
Catherine Weagle of the Salem State Log criticized VanCamp's portrayal, stating that Thorne's "revenge glare" was not sufficiently intimidating and also found it implausible that Thorne would be able to keep her true identity a secret.[17] An initial review by Maureen Ryan of AOLTV was negative regarding the portrayal of the character, though Ryan faulted the premise of the show as making it difficult for VanCamp to portray Thorne realistically.[18] Ryan became more positive about the character's portrayal as the show progressed stating that VanCamp had "made Emily more interesting than the character almost has a right to be."[19]
Thorne's voice-over narrations during the show were described by Stephanie Goldberg of CNN as "insightful" and as being able to get the support of viewers, but other commentators have criticized the narrations as cliché and formulaic.[20][21] Fienberg stated that the narrations were devoid of meaning and attributed it to ABC having "an in-house style that says that having your female lead narrate nothingness at the start of every episode is a worthy strategy", which he stated does not provide a good setting for a story about revenge.[16]
Some critics favorably compared the role of Thorne on Revenge to that of Dexter Morgan on the Showtime series Dexter. Tierney Bricker of E! states that, like Dexter, Thorne captivates audiences even when they may not support her actions.[15] In a review of the episode "Infamy" for ChicagoNow, Andrew Daglas noted the portrayal of Thorne burning down Treadwell's home in the episode and suggested that Thorne's actions would prompt audiences to question their sympathies for the character's pursuit of revenge. Daglas then states that the character of Dexter has prompted similar questions, adding that in both series the characters force viewers "to realize how easily our darkest impulses can bubble up to the surface, and how those impulses become more dangerous when they're wrapped in a nobler guise like justice."[22]
In early 2014, it was announced that Marvel Comics and ABC Studios had plans to jointly develop a comic book inspired by Revenge that detailed the origin of Emily Thorne.[23] Co-authored by Ted Sullivan (a writer for the show) and Erica Schultz, and illustrated by Vincenzo Balzano, Dustin Nguyen, and Felix Ruiz, Revenge: The Secret Origin of Emily Thorne was published September 2, 2014.[24] The story is set in Switzerland years before the events of the television series and follows Emily/Amanda on her first revenge mission, aided by her mentor Takeda.[25][26] Marvel has stated that the comic's plot is considered canon.[25]
