That was the highlight of the series for me.


This past episode was pretty solid, but I'm still not in love with the show. I just cannot get over how stupid Charlie is.

[Roose13]

Yea her irrational stupidity is killing my interest.

[chadizzy1]

Loving the direction it's going.

I can't believe that line exists. What an episode.

She's a teenager, right? Teenagers are stupid.

Still hooked on this show.

I watch it but this show is not very good. It's so poorly done and leaves so much to be desired.

But that All night Long scene was superb.

It has been better than I expected since it came back. Is season 2 a definite yet?

Nice! I'm hooked on this show for some reason.

I agree. I just wished I cared about the characters more than I do.

I miss Jericho. ABC and CBS fuck up good shows, or have shitty shows that are supposed to be good, like 2.5 men.

I like Revolution, but I'm afraid to get too attached because I'm pretty sure it will be cancelled. I still have faith in NBC, but don't be surprised if the timeslot is replaced by a bullshit reality or talent show, some sitcom about an awkward living situation, or other bullshit. Seems to be what people go for these days.

I hated Charlie at first but she has grown on me. I still believe Neville is loyal to Monroe and it's all a work. I also believe somewhere a huge ass surprise is going to happen with Miles. Spoiler Alert: Last we saw miles him and Monroe had guns pointed at each other. So either a third party changes the mix and takes both of them, someone turns, or who knows. We still don't know why Miles left the militia other than malaise and guilt. Rachel is another person I don't trust. She's clearly had ulterior motives...why didn't she kill Monroe despite having the chance twice (or more?). I feel that Aaron is the most genuine character on the show, just a guy with regrets who got stuck in some grand design. I feel that Jason is whipped by Charlie and expect to see his loyalties change.

Also, isn't the same guy who played Danny in a State Farm Commercial? The "Can I get a Hot Tub?" guy?

I keep getting a feeling we'll find out Charlie is Miles' kid or something along those lines.... not sure how I'd feel about that at this point.....

I was thinking the same except she's Monroe's kid. Rachel spent years in the custody of Monroe and not exactly as a prisoner but a "guest" as both of them put it. But Charlie would have been conceived before the blackout, and we know Rachel knew Monroe through Miles so who knows. With Monroe admitting he had another illegitimate child and watching his baby mama die, it seems more likely the scenario you're proposing...because we know Miles and Rachel had a thing. But then again Miles has banged at least two female cast members that I can think of at present.

Yup... noticed that the other day myself.

I'm thinking Miles or worse - Monroe. Seems to be some pretty incestuous relationships were going on even before the loss of power.

[chadizzy1]

Loved Jericho. I never watched the second season, but the first one was great. Excellent story.

[defcon]

Spoiler Alert:

Interesting twist with Neville...told ya. So, whoda thunk that the last refuge of the States would be GITMO and with Bush II presumably in charge? Does the power stay on? I don't think so, since it's what the whole show revolves around. The lightning/storms around Monroe indicate that there are significant natural consequences of flipping the switch, not to mention the whole fact that it looks like nuke town.

Is this the end of the season?

[slygrooves2dmb2]

Yeah seeing the United States Colony, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba made me chuckle a little. It will be interesting to see where they take this next season.

Finally caught up on this. Holy shit. Where do they go from here, all out war?

I see either last minute intervention or maybe a few hitting and some failing due to the power going back off, defenses, etc.. We have to remember that Randall was AGAINST the U.S., even though he was Undersecretary of the DoD, because his son got killed in service or whatever. Yet somehow, Bush II advisor thinks he's their savior. Somehow, I don't think the Pres knows what's up. He knows the power's back on, but not that nukes are about to fuck shit up. Prediction: Bush II (?) somehow intervenes at the last minute, like a kill code, or the power goes back off, rendering the missiles inert

[chadizzy1]

I wonder if Miles & Monroe will team up again. They seemed chummy towards the end.

Season 2 Preview:

So, we know Aaron and the others somehow gain access to the missile control system; We don't know if they're successful. Rachel seems to have interesting relationships with everyone; including a possible old flame or co-worker who is at odds with Miles. Monroe evidently loses power; we seem him in some type of fight club, looking rough. The nukes were launched from the Wastelands and Plains Nation, possibly Texas Republic or California, two of those areas that have little to no government, while Texas Republic may be aligned with, presumably, Bush II or whoever we saw at Gitmo, and intended to destroy Atlanta (Capital of Georgia Republic) and Philly (Monroe Rep). We don't see any more Atlanta or Philly stuff. We do see Neville and Jason together, in apparant rebel uniforms, looking worse for wear, being lectured by a "Secretary" of the United States who claims the government is legitimate. There are two love triangles, Miles, Rachel, and whoever, and Charlie, Jason, and some blonde guy who claims to have seen Monroe. Aaron is mortally wounded, so unless Rachel pulls that nanodevice out of her that she used to heal her broken leg, which would be to her detriment, he's probably dead. Presumably, the group has reached the relative safety of a possible rebel town with some semblance of order (A Sheriff) and we can assume it's somewhere near "The Tower." And they're facing an external threat which could be the United States, warlords/rivals, or what have you...but Miles seems to be familiar. It's all looking pretty interesting. If you pay attention, there is a clear absence of power as well, so that appears to have been turned back off.

I think much of Season 2 will revolve around the U.S. government reasserting control either by mastering the power or possessing pendants/amplifiers or simply coming out of hiding. And they were behind the possible nuke attacks on Philly and ATL, being their largest threats to their legitimacy. Randall seems true to his original intention, keep the power off to keep the weapons off, but only after he possible decimate the biggest threats to becoming another warmongering government.

I think it will be a "hunkered down" situation like Jericho, where most of the characters, especially the family, makes a stand in the above town, with Monroe on his own, and possibly Neville and Jason as well, after what we saw with the love triangle. Neville, whereever his loyalties lie, may have no Monroe Republic to return to and no Atlanta, if the bombs hit.

Can't wait for the second season!

This is going to rock.

Next week!

[drop2d]

Don't like the 8pm time slot. Shows seem to lose a little bit of their edge when they are moved earlier.

[chadizzy1]

Tonight's the night!

[Noles20]

I hope the show can stay on the air.
