I just hope every week they don''t get close to rescuing the brother have a fight and then the vilian makes an escape that will get old quick.

.Firstly, for fans in NC, the show is currently filming the finale at a Cape Fear abandoned power plant. I know a girl who works nearby & she just texted me a pic with her & the brother, Danny. She never watches the show & has NO idea who anyone is. Evidently, she saw him walk by in make up & assumed he was important so she asked for a picture.
I've sent her on a mission for me...a director's chair back with Elizabeth Mitchell's autograph. She's seen alot of folks walking around with them so the seem to be in abundance around there.
Nevermind about the second part of the post. It was pretty much a rant about the 'discussions' on her by the'fans' of the show, but TBH, I just don't feel like it right now
I'm assuming the bomb was expected to cause a breach in the pressure chamber of the locomotive. How big would that explosion be?kibosh said:

Tons of info on there. I saw pics on history channel were a small train station got taken out because not only do you have steam but that cast iron engine turns into shrapnel.
Wow that's certainly a bad omen for the show. 2 weeks of no discussion. It looks like it's finally starting to get interesting and really dig into the secret behind the power failure. Of course they spend most of the show on another of Charlie's stupid quests.
I have the last three episodes queued up on my DVR.
My wife has given up on it already. I'll catch up eventually, but I have lost the desire to watch the show.

Funny enough I missed last weeks episode thanks to no power from Sandy. I saw this weeks though. Its alright, but it still hasn't reeled me in completely yet where I feel like I just can't wait for the next episode.
That seems to be the formula for this show doesn't, Charlie always harping about hurrying to rescue her brother but then every step of the way she has to stop to do some stupid side quest. At the rate they're going, her brother will be in his 30s by the time she gets around to "rescuing" him.vt357 said:

I agree with you, I don't think this show is going to get renewed. I enjoy this show but I'm not invested in it like I am with other shows and unlike a lot of other 1 season shows, I won't be that sorry to see it go. I thought that shows like Alcatraz and Terra Nova wasted a lot of their potential by getting things really going too late in the season but Revolution just doesn't seem like it's going anywhere.
I'm still watching it, but I'm not married to this show. Aside from Miles and Nora, too many of the characters seem forced so it's hard to get attached to any of them. I'm still trying to like Charlie, but she doesn't make it easy, lol.
I quit watching mainly for the reasons you stated. It's just didn't draw me in and I had such hopes for it.DoubleD said:
I liked her a lot better after the bathtub scene.DoubleD said:
But yeah, I don't care much about any of the characters except for one or two I actively want to get killed off. I have a feeling I will give up after I find out about who and what is behind the power being out.
Just saw the last one. Clearly all they have to do is give Randall what he wants and he'll go away.
I'm definitely getting frustrated with this show, as I like others had high hopes for it. However I am still watching it, but I'm not expecting it to get renewed. Like someone else already mentioned that bathtub scene and the dress she wore was nice
Still watching it, too, and it is getting better. Starting to answer some questions.
But man is it formulaic. EVERY episode is Charlie whining to find hr brother. Stumble upon someone needing help. Charlie, "We have to help them!" Miles, "No! We it's impossible." Charlie, "What happened to you? We're family!" Miles, "Ok. Let's help them" Charlie and Miles save the day.
I'm 'meh' about it right now. Still watching it - mostly because the wife likes it.
I'm not entirely thrilled with them starting to explain what happened.
Not that they are starting to explain it - but the explanation so far is horrendous.
Spoiler:
They need some better writers. This last episode was absolutely forgettable which is unfortunate given they had a good opportunity to really develop some of the other characters besides Miles and Charlie.
This show will end up like that other hyped up show "The Event".
Seriously, did you expect a perfectly scientific explanation? If there WERE such an explanation, that fit all known laws of science, then we'd probably already live in such a world with no electricity because some jackass would have already done this. It was always going to be some level of 'elfin magic.'The Rock-a-who said:
I think the difference is believable entertainment science and rolls-eyes-too-far-fetched science.
The Core is an example of bad science to explain how things work. Rotating core stopped so we must nuke it? Inner core of huge diamonds? A phase-shifting train that can go through anything BUT said diamonds?
And there's Jurassic Park - sure now science is now saying it's nigh-impossible but when you watch it you think 'Hey, this could actually happen'
And sorry - Revolution to me falls into 'The Core' category right now.
So what you're saying is it boils down to how educated the viewer is. Friends who work in various professional fields hate it when they see a TV show or movie that has an actor portraying their profession because media never gets the accuracy of their profession right. People who watched "Hackers" thought that's how stuff could really happen. It's all dependent on the viewer.The Rock-a-who said:
For me, Revolution falls somewhere in between the two, it's a bit of a stretch (even for TV & movies) but it's not quite so much that it's too much. But it's definitely one of those show where you can't think too much about otherwise you'll just find more and more wrong with the show and completely any enjoyment in it.The Rock-a-who said:
True. It's the individual's suspension of disbelief.
I know you and I have gone round and round on this. I know there are movies that are 'science-terrible' but I guess how it was presented or written, it doesn't bother me as much as other movies that are probably just as terrible. It's just how I am. Somethings I can overlook, others it's that one thing that bugs the crap out of me and can't get past (which I'm sure a lot of people are like that)
Revolution is just one of those for me that at this point, I can't get past.
Do I hate Revolution? No, or I would stop watching it. There's something I can't quite figure out why I keep tuning in every week and watch it (other than 'the wife likes it')
Do I wish it would be canceled? No. I'm okay if it gets the sack next week, or goes on for 10 seasons. It really doesn't bother me.
And as for 'Hackers' - I thought it was bad and still feel 'Sneakers' is the closest so far of getting it right.
I feel pretty much the same as you about Revolution, I can't help but to keep watching for some reason. I definitely get the feeling that this show isn't going to last for more than one season and I can't say that I'll be really sorry to see it go, for me it's not one of those shows that had something going for it and just took a while to hit its stride or was screwed by the network. It's an interesting premise but I just don't think they're doing it justice but it's entertaining enough to watch, personally I thought that Alcatraz and Terra Nova were much better and should have gotten another chance and were canceled just as they were starting to get good.The Rock-a-who said:

The previews for this weeks episode look pretty exciting. I'm surprised how quickly they are moving through the plot. Maybe they realize they've only got 1 season to pull this off. So the question will be what will they do if they are actually picked up for another season? Will it be like Lost where the show completely changed once they got to the others's village? Their problem may be that theyll end up in a Jericho scenario where you've got the american civil war 2 between all the different republics. Problem is, while I would find that very interesting, I doubt the average NBC viewer wants to watch that.
Okay, officially it is a 'wireless battery' which is pretty unbelievable, but ah well. That still doesn't explain what is continually suppressing electrical power.
Damn, blondie is hardcore too.
