Revenge got some more Revenge, but do I care?

Trying to bring the New Year in with a Revenge-riffic episode, Emily and Co. just managed to deliver more of the same. There was one happy development of allies, but, of course, who can really be allies with Emily? I beg of the network, the show runner, the writers; please get rid of the whole Jack side story. It's lame. It's boring. And it offers nothing to the semi-descent show. In fact, it is weighing down what good is left. Season 1 was so on point and easy to follow. Now, everything and everyone is so convoluted that it's becoming easier to shrug my shoulders and just not care. Someone needs to check this Hampton ship before some one wrecks it. That's all I have to say about that.
