Revolution: JJ Abrams, SciFi, Post-Apocalypse
Sounds great right?
The only worry is that NBC is picking it up. http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/02/02/j-j-abrams-nbc/ Quote:

The show I want to see succeed this fall is Last Resort. Big fan of Andre Brauger (and Shawn Ryan). Although Vegas looks kind of cool, conceptually, as well.

'course part of the problem is that we're in a society that, while on one hand we've grown to like serialized drama, on the other, we're not patient enough to invest more than a week or two into anything. So it's a hard mountain to climb getting a new show to stick, or getting people to watch long enough for the show to grow and improve. (especially on NBC) |

The biggest bummer is that Vegas, or Vega$, is a series name that is already in lexicon. Hopefully, they'll reference Dan Tana at some point (which is actually an Italian restaurant on the corner of Santa Monica & Doheny that Frank Sinatra used to frequent in the 60's. GREAT place that's still there today). |

The problem is that J.J. Abrams, through LOST, has ruined the "high-concept" serial. I just don't trust him and I don't think this will last because most people I speak to don't trust him, either. |

I have Uverse and the pilot is available already on demand. I'll try and watch it tonight maybe. I'm pretty sure it's widely available online as well.

I'm sick of post apocolyptic and its NBC. This thing is doomed from the start. I'm not wasting my time on it.
in short.... Not worth it.

One of the main reasons why I think Revolution will fail is that Alcatraz was getting 6.7 million viewers on a Monday night not including DVR, yet was canceled. That leads me to believe that Fox didn't want to get into a "LOST" type situation and have a series with no true resolution. The final few episodes were beginning to feel more and more like Lost, especially since they continually referenced "The Island". Lindelof is a dickfoot. |

Ok, I'm like 5 minutes into this thing and it's dumb. Planes falling from the sky, then it starts 15 years after the power goes out and nobody has aged one bit. Fail so far.

actually they aged quite a bit, problem is the people they showed in the previous 15 years are only 3 people. The Brothers and the Militia dude.
Its not bad, ill give it a few episodes before i decide one way or another. The end of thedamn episode was pretty decent.
Spoiler!

I'm willing to give it a chance, won't be surprised if it crashes and burns though.
