This show has so many holes.

LMAO

How did she send that IM? Who is running the network for the internet?

There is fire but combustion engines don't work?

Did you watch it with me and my wife? We both noticed the exact same thing.


Just like Falling Skies and Walking Dead, they missed a fantastic opportunity to build the characters while showing the chaos after things shut down.

Last time I checked a bullet or musket needs to ignite in order to fire it. Physics not working anymore is going to take some explaining.

I knew this would be the dumbest show of all time.

And people have the gall criticize Manimal.

Tsk, tsk.

Finished the pilot. Very Lost-ish. And unfortunately, I remember how Lost strung us along for years and then ended in a mind-numbing train wreck.

Against my better judgment, I'll check out the next episode, but I'm reminded of the definition of insanity. :banghead:

Good to know that the survivors still have easy access to toothpaste, orthodontists, stylists, shampoo and the clothing department of JCPenney. :D

More like Abercrombie

I thought it was alright. Not great, but if I had the second episode taped I would have watched it after the first. I don't really have an issues with planes falling, assuming there is an eventual real answer for it. I would say the lack of guns would be due to not being able to make extra bullets and the control of them by the Militia.

Some things seemed a little to thin or straight forward, which is a little concerning. Lacking layers is usually what kills end of the world shows. Hopefully the flashbacks will be a comfort to an J.J. show. The necklace/memory card thing, black woman, and that network seems a little interesting anyway.

I think the turning point on whether its a good show or not are going to be the memory card/network and how deep the Militita guys story angle is. I am not annoyed by any of the main characters which is a good start.

Gus was pretty good, though. That man can act.

Walking Dead did fail to do enough with that, but if this show lasts I doubt they pass up on it. I would imagine J.J. is planning to explain it like he did on Lost if given the time.

just wait until they introduce the numbers.

The son needs to die for being a ****ing BlackBob.

I don't think the first issue is a hole, its just a big part of the story not told yet. The second issue you have is legit though.

Good point.

I liked him all the way back to Bakersfield PD.

They are in the Matrix, and Morpheus is just ****ing around with the physics engine.

Which brings us to one of the most annoying aspects of Lost - episodes that were almost completely flashbacks that advanced the linear story about 5 minutes. God I hated that - I nearly quit watching in Season 2 because of that and later wished I had.

I guess this time the backstory is more interesting than the present story, though, so maybe flashbacks will be a good thing.

The more I think about this the more annoyed I'm getting. **** you, Abrams. I hope you don't plan on getting all flashbacky in the next Star Trek movie. :grr:

I liked the way Lost was. I am probably more patient than most TV viewers are. Not saying you aren't patient or not justified in your anger, just saying I am maybe patient to a fault. I also really liked his Star Trek movie but am not a Star Trek viewer so I can't really judge it in that way.

I liked all the seasons of Lost. Wasn't a fan of the ending as most weren't but I didn't freak out about it. I still enjoyed the series. The one thing is I used to be able to watch the reruns, after seeing the ending I can't. People who watched it on DVD sure got a huge help though not having to wait 6 months for the premiere each year.

The LOST ending sucked so much as that if Lindelof were a chick, I'd skull**** her upon sight.

**** LOST, **** Lindelof and his snide, shitty attitude and **** Carlton Cuse.

The thing that bugged me the most is that it looked like centuries had passed, not 15 years. The way that everything was overgrown.

Actually that was probably fairly accurate (perhaps the most accurate part of it). Nature reclaims civilization in a hurry when it isn't tended to.

Haha fair enough. It didn't reflect the work they put into the rest of the show, that's for sure. Lendelof and Cuse had done a good job up until then.

Indeed. Weeds ect. don't mess around.

I'm sort of that way with Battlestar Galactica, too, although not nearly to the same extent, since it was an infinitely better show. However.....

If the Cylons were created by man, how in the **** did some of them end up being reincarnated from other Cylons who had lived on another planet halfway across the galaxy centuries earlier? And what was the deal with the angels? And why the **** would everybody wander off alone on a new, unexplored planet and shitcan all of their ships and technology? And.... ****, I could go on all night, but I guess what I'm saying is that often the trip is better than the destination.

Yep. I find footage of Pripyat (near Chernobyl) fascinating. Modern city, forever abandoned. It's amazing how much nature has encroached on it. The area near the power plant in Japan will be the same way.

I doubt JJ is very involved with this, if at all. He's taken a hands off approach to all of "his" television shows for awhile now.

Lindelof was also the guy who wrote Prometheus. and of course he left everything opened ended with more questions than answers. Par for the course with this guy.

women love that cheesy flashback crap. They eat it up like a squirrel on a nut. Women watch more TV than men, do the math...

From what I understood he was around to get Lost going before handing it over completely. I just assumed that is what he was doing with this one.

I really really really don't like the girl. Something about the shape of her face just annoys me.

well she's a pretty lame actress, but pretty hot if you ask me.

she is already getting annoying. "no, don't kill that guy that just tried to kill you..."

come the **** on...

Forgot to watch last night.

Oops.

Revolution Spoiler - they all died and are caught in a spiritual limbo.

They have that shit on opposite MNF? Wow. No wonder everybody looks like a model - apparently their target audience is teenage girls. :shake:

I didn't forget to watch, but it plays directly against Castle, Hawaii 5-O and MNF.

Revolution replays Saturday at 7 according to my DVR.

I liked the first episode, the second one sucked. Might watch third one.

Liked last night more than episode 1.

More Elizabeth Mitchell is prolly the reason.

Ratings also held up...about 9.5 mil...really good against Castle and H50.

"Even though it was up against returning dramas “Castle” and “Hawaii Five-O,” which both had their season premieres Monday night, “Revolution” managed to retain an impressive 85% of its audience. It was also the leader among the coveted 18-49 age group in its 10 p.m. time slot. "

Was that a cattle prod?

That works, but they can't generate a spark to run an internal combustion engine?

Will they re-air episode 2?

Or am I better finding it online somewhere?

Channel 27 on Saturday night at 7pm.

I think the thing I like least is that it is too clean. Meaning there is a distinct lack of dust and dirt.

the fact they are wearing new clothing kinda bugs me. After 15 years I'd imagine all of the clothing stores would have been looted and unless they were all wrapped in plastic for 15 years, they wouldn't look brand new. Would have been better if they would have thought of that.

Exactly.

Just finished the episode and I gotta say I'm digging it even though it is goofy.

When I saw, "Randall is here." I got pretty excited because a bad guy named Randall can only be a reference to one person....and that person is Evil Incarnate.

The Walking Dude?

I have not watched the recent episode of Revolution, but a "The Stand"-like series would be awesome.

After the computer in the pilot episode, I thought the exact same thing. Seems like every show is just trying to recreate Lost.

Especially when it's created and produced by the same people.

Alcatraz was the same exact way earlier this year. They kept referring to "The Island", had flashbacks, a "scheme", time travel, etc.

**** all of them for ****ing up Season Six of Lost, especially that dickfoot Lindelof.

He had a special locket also.

yea, and what about personal hygiene? Hair, makeup, etc......

Enjoyed the 2nd Ep. It is keeping me intererested but I am a sucker for these types of shows. Would have liked to see them loot the bodies of the people they killed though, just to make it more realistic. You just don't leave shoes, boots and the like laying around.

I think I'm cured. I have absolutely no desire to continue watching this now.

Thank God.

The pessimist in me has me thinking that the writers don't know that fire from friction involves the same electro-magnetic mechanisms as a spark plug, and that those same electro-magnetic mechanisms keep molecules, and all of matter together.

If energy itself ceased to exist. Everything would cool to 0K and individual atoms would just wander aimlessly through space.

This doesn't sound very promising.

I've not been able to watch a series (other than Walking Dead) in a long, long time.

There isn't much out there that grabs me.

:shrug:

There are only a handful of network shows left that I watch, and I doubt if I'd watch any of them if it wasn't for the wife. The only shows I record on my own are Archer, Game of Thrones, Burn Notice, Spartacus and Pawn Stars.

Although it's not very good, I think it's better than any SyFy series that has come out since BSG ended.

That's just not enough. It's basically a watered down Postman turned into a series with a silly gimmick, starring models with perfect teeth and hair and designer clothes. If it catches on, it will meander around for years annoying me more and more until it wraps up with a ****tarded ending that will make me want to shoot my TV.

If I want to be annoyed by something on TV, I already have the Chiefs.

Girl is annoying

reminds me a little bit of jericho

except Jericho was fantastic

i meant the general premise, not the entire show


all the secret society crap where it ends up being a conspiracy and that crap

Heh....I'm really starting to hate network tv shows. It's either reality singing competitions, shows like this that are so watered down for the "family audience" they lose their edge, or typical CBS paint by numbers procedurals for the blue haired audience. Blah.....

I really get into Pawn Stars, Hardcore Pawn, Most Bizarre Foods, No Reservations, Shipping Wars, Toy Hunter, and The Walking Dead.

Quite a group, I know.

I still like it enough to give it a chance, but its going to have to add some depth and some more twists for me to lock on. I did like that the mother is still alive and the whole American Revolution angle. The girl is really on the edge of pissing me off. Hopefully the "real world" stuff gets her to character to pull it back a level.

No Reservations is great. I used to watch the Food Network all the time, now they just show gimmicky reality shows.

ya I'm drawn to these antique reality shows. Pawn Stars, Auction Kings, Storage Wars and Auction Hunters. Although, Auction Hunters is pretty damn stupid with that dude who is always acting goofy for the camera. I also watched Barter Kings a few times and that's as scripted as scripted gets.

I also dig some of these cop reality shows. Love Cajun Justice, even if it's fake it's still entertaining. Wild Justice, Northwoods Law are also solid.

I need to see this

I'm still watching. Its half dumb but half intriguing. Hope the show gets better.

I think it'd be a whole lot better if the acting didn't come across like a soap opera.

FYI..There is another Revolution thread, that while smaller, has all the updated posts about the show.

What ever happened with this pile of shit? Did it get better?

Not really. Hell, I've already forgotten most of what happened other than the bad guy has access to electricity now.

It's been on its winter break for months. I think it's coming back soon.

Has it been renewed for a second season? I did not start watching it because I did not want to like it and have it cancelled before it got off of the ground.

I'm not sure, but it got a full season order. I think it's been doing ok in the ratings.

I will probably wait to start watching. I DVR'd the first few episodes of Zero Hour, and was waiting to see if it would take off, and it has been axed already, so I am glad I did not invest any time in it.

Season 1.5 started last night. I didn't start watching this show until after the first half season was already over. Caught up with it watching them on-demand. It's no Game of Thrones or Justified, but I like it.

Gonna watch it tonight on DVR, i thought it had been canceled. It is decent but needs to step up its game to compete with other hour long action/dramas out right now.

I couldn't figure out why Cousin Johnny could suddenly walk so well.

What a end to the season wow.

This is still on?

Good question...did it get renewed for a second season?

They killed Latina Barbie

Cancelled.
