What Makes Nolan A Great Friend

[dreamingahead]

If you are a fellow fan of Nolan Ross’, Revenge’s handsome quirky tech genius billionaire, you’ve probably also thought at one point, “How awesome is this guy? I want him to be my BFF!” Considering the positive response the character keeps getting, it seems that Nolan should have friends lining up by the dozens on the show, and yet he is someone

Ah, I forgot to read this. It wasn't until last night when I was watching Revenge and had my usual "I love Nolan so much" response (which I said and then realised I was becoming repetitive, lol), that I remembered. But reading now :D

why Nolan and Emily make such a good team - she’s all about the bigger picture, the greater purpose to be served, while he brings her attention to the little things.
This is so true. They balance each other out and Nolan keeps her from throwing herself too quickly into the scheming.

Nolan’s layered attire can be considered his armour - armour between the Hamptonites and himself; a silent disapproval of their artificial lifestyle and a reminder that he’d rather stay true to his own way than conform with theirs just to fit in.
Oh wow, I'd never thought about it that way. I guess I never looked deeper than the surface, but I love that reasoning. Because in a lot of ways he should fit in perfectly - rich, big powerful company - but he knows so many of the secrets and wants to keep his distance.

OMG, I was so stoked to receive this comment! Figured I'd come back later to reply you properly and in an inexcusable turn of events, forgot. So sorry, bb.

"I love Nolan so much" is my standard response to any episode of Revenge ever, by the by. He's amazing & flawed in all the right ways. Can't wait to have this character back in my life to obsess over! ONLY ONE DAY LEFT YAY.

Yes, he makes a great partner in crime that way. Halfway through S1, I started wondering what N/E would be like if they didn't have each other to lean on for complicity... I mean, they never fought for longer than a day b/c they truly needed each other. From what slipped through the cracks, I think S2 might explore that alternative after all, which may or may not make us appreciate their partnership even more.
