Revolution: NBC on Mondays - Thoughts?

[Buzzetta]

So far, I have not turned the channel. It has my interest.

I am feeling a Mad Max vibe though...

 

Anyone else watching and if so what are your thoughts?

[dupont2005]

I watched the pilot on Hulu and like it. I hope it makes it

[MightyBeanComics]

I was hoping for a little more pre-15 years.

It's a JJ Abrams show... we will get plenty of flashbacks.

 

Maybe some flash forwards ...

 

Maybe even a flash sideways where all the deceased characters meet up where they must "let go" before moving on...

 

waitaminute....

In an interview I heard them say it is suppose to have a Hunger Games feel to it. I watched half of it but it was on way too late. I liked it, hopefully later on tonight I can find it online to watch.

I watched it early on Hulu. It was interesting, but didn't captivate me. I'll wait to see where it goes before I jump in. Cool concept.

 

I think I saw that John Favreau is also a producer on it.

[Rodey]

I've only watched half of it so far, and I'm intrigued.

Has NBC announced any encore showings? My DVR didn't DVR it, which makes me question the meaning of its very existence.

[revat]

didn't like the ending of the first episode, but i guess they had to...

[Zacreth]

It seemed rushed didn't? And the ending ... guess they couldn't think of anything else to leave you hanging for the next episode.

[Zacreth]

Another thing... ( i like to figure out certain aspects of the movie)... and btw this is a SPOILER ALERT BELOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

okay, so the pendant can create unlimited energy? If it can power a computer and all, and obviously the modem was dialing out so there is power at a telephone company that can forward call, or the modem is direct dialing but how would the signal travel down phone lines if there isn't power anywhere else on that line?

[revat]

In regards to the 'spoiler' post above,

 

I'm guessing the question you asked is going to be the reason I end up disliking this show. The show basically asks you to believe that not only is there no power, but that the laws of physics have changed, that even the most basic forms of electricity cannot be created. Which I can almost believe...

 

But then the thing at the end of the show happens... and makes you ask so many questions about the laws of physics within the show's law of physics. Don't like it much when shows break their own made up rules.

Hunger Games ripoff.

[WEBHEAD]

Yup

 

 

 

way to soon to show what they did and I thought there was only ONE

[PsylockeSmythe]

We have it recorded on the DVR and plan on watching it tonight. We are hoping that it makes it more then a season and have like any of the previews that we have seen so far.

The show looked really, really, really bad.

 

Changing the laws of physics?

 

"The lights are out"

[the blob]

missed the first half. second half ok. will watch it because i like the genre, but i'm not buying it so far.

 

all these swords and arrows and other nonsense...we were able to make guns before electricity was widespread, heck, all sorts of industry, so why are folks wandering around like it's 1200 a.d.? seriously, the apes on planet of the apes were able to make automatic rifles and produce ammunition without electricity, we're going to forget all this stuff in 15 years? is our educational system really that bad?

 

also, 15 years after the collapse of society, everyone sure looks clean and well groomed, especially the lovely ladies on the show. people on the show SHOULD look like the folks protesting outside my office on wall street...like they haven't had a shower or brushed their teeth in a few months or cleaned their clothing.

science fiction usually requires the suspension of disbelief.

 

i'd have no problem with the idea if it was on an episode of Fringe. walter would figure it out and fix it in 45 minutes.

[Zoso20]

I'll keep watching for a while........the creator is the Supernatural guy and that show got better with age.....hopefully this one will too.

[John R]

I watched the first 20 minutes or so, found it boring and switched channels.
