Yeah, okay, I forgot about that episode, that one wasn't really that good either.
Screw you all, and have a nice day!

Yeah, I think monday's ep had a lot going for it. The least of which was the bravery of having Juliet (I still think of her from LOST, sue me) stab the other tech guy in the chest. "Now you need me". Awesome.

I'm glad that next ep we will finally see the confrontation between Monroe and Miles. Hopefully they'll get the brother back.

Anyone else want to see Texas? I SO want to see Texas. Also, the California Wastes. Just so much to explore.

Anyone else think they might kill off Monroe on the season finale? I could see that happening and Neville being put in charge....and the rest of our crew heading off into the West in search of the power.

I have a vague feeling, might be totally off base, that Monroe is just a red herring. Meaning that he's not really the primary antagonist and the real one being either the DoD guy or some other connected to him.

Yep, I agree with that.

Indeed, I could see that happening too. I definitely get a powerplay vibe from his wife. Though I'm sort of hoping that Monroe will kick the bucket sooner than the season finale. As I mentioned, I think he's a red herring, only there to throw us off the real antagonist.
Besides, he's a paranoid dictator with Neville being more cold, calculating and sinister.
Screw you all, and have a nice day!

I am bothered by the fact that the writers on this SCIENCE FICTION show apparently lack even a basic science education. Running low on oxygen in a gargantuan subway tunnel after a few...hours? :sofa:

Other than the oxygen depletion math being off by a factor of 8000 or so, I agree this was a good episode with a great ending.

Last night's fall finale was actually a good ep (mostly for tension between Neville and Miles....and then more tension between Miles and Monroe), and only had one or two issues (mainly the way the scene between Charlie and her mother played out....were I Charlie I'd have been MUCH more pissed off..."Where the hell were you?!" ect. ect. )...I think this episode furthers the idea that Monroe is going to be gone by Seasons' end and Neville will begin hunting Miles...The helicopters working was cool and all but I'd like to know what the range on the amplifier device is...unless it's got a REALLY big range, it's next to useless as a gadget...so it's probably at least a few miles...but how would they know where it stopped? Like how do they stop the pilot from going past the perimeter and crashing? I guess they know?

Anyways, a good way to stop for another stupid ass fall finale that no viewers want...with a solid episode at least.

Show doesn't return till March 25th...But here is a trailer for parts of the 2nd half of the season..including answering my question about how they run the Choppers far outside Monroe's base in Philly...derp...they load the devices onto the choppers and then they can fly anywhere. Dunno why I dind't think of that. LOL!

What the trailer interests in me is the reasons behind why Mile's brother designs the inhibiting of electricity in the first place and WHY the gov't wanted to use it on a global scale. That should be interesting.

Jon Favreau also said they will be visiting other areas of the USA to see how they "work" after the blackout. Can't wait to see Texas and the Wastes!

I'm not sure about this latest "turn Revolution into Jeremiah" twist they've got going. If Randall left Grace at the sooper sekrit hideout under lock and key (basically) Where the hell did the rest of those guys come from, didn't Randall know they were there? Or did they turn on him the moment he left? WTF?!?

Yeah, I know he was there, but I think there's a disconnect here. He's a high ranking DoD official with access to the nations greatest secrets in this tower and he doesn't know there's a group of people living on lvl 11 trying to stop people from going further down?

It smells fishy to me.

Seeing as that actor is often typecasted as military types, notable appearences include all 3 transformer movies and as voiceover for military command in CoD Modern Warfare, and his attitude and stance in the tower when sending the others out to "say hello" tells me he's probably former military.

Indeed, I thought the way they dealt with the "soldiers" from the tower was stupid. stupidly done combined with bad acting. But yes, the last 30 seconds, holy fucking shit!

I'm awaiting the end of S2 to see if this show has legs...I gave up after the long ass break mid-season 1...and I know what happened at the end of S1...but yeah...it wasn't compelling enough to keep it on our weekly sched.

Is it me, or has Revolution really taken a turn for the dark side in season 2?

And do any of you who are watching think that the dig with the title in the beginning, turning

has any significance?

I've watched the first two episodes and been surprised, I quite enjoyed them! Agree with the darker turn to the show, hopefully it continues.

re the spoiler

Well fuck a duck...They're just piling on with the brutality, aren't they? I'm thinking season 2 is a MAJOR step up from season 1.

It's a totally different show to season 1 and I am really liking it.

It's the series finale tonight. This show got pretty cheesy but I couldn't help but to keep up with it. Idk if it was planned or if it got the axe with a cliff hanging ender. I'm kinda bummed.


It got the axe.
