HOLY SHITSNACKS. New NBC drama coming this fall.

This looks damned good!

[HoosierDaddy]

Looks cool.

Dies the Fireish without the harping on the wickan stuff.

[Binder of Demons]

Looks very well done. Made me think of THE POSTMAN by David Brin (the good book not the crappy Kevin Costner movie). And with a female lead wandering around with a bow, i couldn't help but think of the Hunger Games as well.

As with all new american TV series, I just hope they have a simple plotted story with a definitive end in mind rather than trying to make an open ended show which either drifts on too long and turns crap, or gets cancelled before reaching it's conclusion (like ALCATRAZ, AWAKE, or FLASHFORWARD for example).

Looks like a cross between The Hunger Games, Game of Thrones and the post-apocalyptic setting of your choice... In a good way.

Kind of odd apparently giving away the entire plot of the pilot (does anyone expect the last scene of the first episode to be anything other than the last scene of the trailer) this far in advance though.

[Abyss]

It's got potential but i fear a repeat of TERRA NOVA. Neat setting, cool action when it happens, but mired in stock plots and weak writing.
Note of CANTICLE FOR LEIBOWITZ at the end there.

JJ gets my attention so wil have to try it out at least.

[Primateus]

This actually looks pretty good. I'm not sure I agree that showing that computer gives away too much because let's be frank, we all knew the moment that it said "15 years later" that there would be someone out there with Technology. This looks a little bit like a rewamp of Jeremiah, only without the disease and all the adults dying off.

[QuickTidal]

It turns out it's not only JJ but also Eric Kripke who created SUPERNATURAL (which is a great show)...I think the potential is there for a big, multi-arced, large-casted drama is there. Only time will tell, but this is definitely on my radar for Fall TV watching.

[Dr Trouble]

It's good of them to show us so much of the plot in the trailer. Really gives me nothing to look forward too...

I'll hold my breath on this being good. It being on NBC fills me with nothing but doubt.

[champ]

Great, another quality looking show for me to invest my time in that will end up been cancelled after 1 or 2 seasons...

The River
Alcatraz
Terra Nova

Not had much luck lately! Here's hoping!

[Chance]

Look vaguly interesting...seems ill thought through however....

My first thought realizing what it was about. Still its too pretty and the consequences doesn't seem very well explored. Look on the clothing for one or like hell anyone is going to live even close to a big city any more.

Still it might be interesting TV which is damn rare...

That's all from the pilot...unless you are banking on only watching the pilot, then it gives away nothing from the rest of the season. I fail to see how they give away too much in your mind. Sure it gives away a lot of what happens in the pilot (but they have to get you involved in the show before it airs)....it's called marketing.

[rhulad]

Looks good, will try to remember to watch it this fall.

[cerveza_fiesta]

They've got me interested with the swordfighting. Any show with decent action scenes is guaranteed to drag me through at least a season. I find it makes a big difference in my personal interest with these fantasy/scifi series if they can keep a lot of factions involved at all times too, kinda like they did in LOST. If it's too much of a red vs. blue thing for season after season it gets boring quickly.

I imagine I'll check this out. I always like a good post-apocalyptic setting, and this one seems to have left the earth mostly intact (ie not a nuclear wasteland) so it will be neat to see how they handle the community and "rebuilding society" aspects. I mean, everybody is basically forced to become a back-to-the-earth hippie overnight...and then 15 years pass until the show's current events. If they are too "rebuilt" then it will just seem dumb, but you gotta expect people won't just revert to caveman-ism either. I'd expect something along the lines of medieval europe as a general technology level. No major industry, but people basically able to provide for themselves in small communities.

It's not that rare these days...

Depends on ones point of view and I've been known to be somewhat picky...

[McLovin]

FALLING SKIES minus aliens, plus HUNGER GAMES minus games. Hmmm....

I'll tune in because it's Abrams, but not particularly stoked.

[Primateus]

Are we talking september or october here?

[QuickTidal]

I THINK Sept. but all we know for sure is it will air on Monday's (a good choice, as people are usually home Monday nights)...

Just a funny little FYI, if you Google "NBC's Revolution"...this thread, right here at our good ole Malazan Empire...is on the first page of Google search finds. LOL!..as are my opening words of exclamation "HOLY SHITSNACKS"....LOL!

Why, so it is, that's pretty damn awesome right there, QT!

[Lady Atheilen]

Looks intriguing, and I'm not generally a fan of Abrams.
