Revolution

Did anyone else watch the first episode of Revolution? I enjoyed it, although it did try to take on a little too much in one episode. It has potential though.

I liked it; I agree that for a one-hour premiere, there was a little too much going on.

I'm wondering what could of caused it, While an EMP would of caused some of the effects we see, it wouldn't prevent stuff like flashlights, chemical batteries, simple generators, solar panels, ect from working.

Watched a lot of apocalypse themed series in the last ten years, most didn't make it past the second season. Hope this one is good enough to go the distance.

I'm hoping it makes it too. I'm willing to overlook less-than-perfect aspects of a show if I like the concept, which I do in this case.

It seems that the writers are trying to mix futuristic ideas, like the power device, with a revert to primitive ideas -- sword fighting and villages having to pay tribute money to keep from getting pillaged by soldiers.

Yeah, I was wondering why the batteries, or solar panels suddenly stopped working?

What about plain old static electricity?
anyway i think I'll be watching again, I enjoyed the show.

Any thoughts on tonight's episode? To me, it was probably the best so far. Some of the back story started to fill in about the founding of the militia, and the action sequences flowed pretty well, especially the bridge explosion towards the end of the show.

I really like the concept of the show. Reminds me a little of Jericho. But there are some very rough edges that need to be worked out. I'm not sure what to think of the cast yet. Most of the characters seem a bit forced so far. And the story line is pretty bumpy. But overall I'm still hoping it will be a good one. In the most recent episode I'm glad they finally gave Danny some character. That portion of the story could end up being the most interesting of the series, especially if he ends up joining the militia.

And it is always nice to see cast members from LOST on a new Abrams series! (So far Juliette and Jacob, yay!)
