Revenge. Issue I have with the show

So I just watched all the episodes this weekend and I am hooked. LOVE it! buuuuuuttt- we're really supposed to believe that Sammy is the same dog? Am I missing something? It was 16 years ago- that would be one OLD a$$ Lab.

  • That drives me nuts as well.  It can't be the same dog.  For a minute I thought it was a new dog that he named Sammy, but then it wouldn't recognize Emily/Amanda.

    that was my thought too then I was like wait- what? when I realized it was supposed to be the same dog. It's driving me crazy. I get way too invested in my shows lol

    I looked it up this morning to make sure I wasn't crazy and a labs general life expectancy is 12-13 years. This one is supposed to be 16-17 and is still running around town? no way. lol

    I also found that at least I am not alone in my crazy annoyance of it- this made me chuckle

  • so how old was Emily/Amanda when she was taken away - to me, she looks like a pretty small child.  And that bar guy was in love with her? When they were 8 yrs old? really?

    that is funny. I've had dogs live to be about 17 who were about the same size as sammy. Although they didn't act so youthful so I never really thought too hard abut it

    Great point! You know I never even thought about the age of the dog when watching the show.  

    Our dog is lab mix and is 18 years old. He has health issues, including suffering from some seizures, but when it comes time for his walks, he perks right up and can go for miles.  

  • lol to the vampire dog!  It did cross my mind when Jack and Sammy ran into  Amanda right after she picked up her friend's dress at the dry cleaners. 
  • lol I also watched all the episodes for the first time over the weekend. And I calculated multiple times how old Sammy had to be. Glad I'm not the only one that noticed it.
  • That has been driving me nuts! Even if he is an old a$$ puppy dog he has no limp or and other sign of old age. I agree, it doesn't add up...

  • There was an article on ew.com about this just today!

    There are some spoilers for tonights episode.  

    http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/10/19/revenge-big-development-mystery-dog/

    Here's what they said about Sammy:

    One person who?s probably safe, though? Sam, Emily/Amanda?s age-defying yellow Labrador, which she received as a birthday gift from her father about 17 years ago (by our count) and is now in the care of Jack. ?We get a lot of flack for how old that dog is but, you know what, as far as I?m concerned, he can stick around for the whole run,? Kelley says with a laugh. But the fact remains, while Sam is certainly an anomaly, his existence is not impossible. ?It?s possible,? he says. ?I have a couple of animals in my life that have lived late into their teens, so I figured we can fudge it just a little. This is a dog that?s got a very good dad that takes care of him on the dock. He feeds him salmon. It?s a little bit of a logic leap, but it?s not impossible and as long as its not impossible, it?s on Revenge.?
