Revolution

Interesting article from about the CW briefly mentions Revolution

First of all, there's the boom in young-adult fiction, which has just started to conquer the movies — and that's basically The CW's brand right there. Angsty stories about beautiful young people struggling in a world they never made are huge right now, and other networks seem to have a hard time making those sorts of stories come to life on the small screen. Witness Revolution, which was clearly supposed to be a young-adult show at first, until nobody liked Charlie and Danny, and then the focus shifted to the older generation.

Perfect summation about the show and why it sucked so bad early and has now gotten a lot better.

Its getting way better. My fav. character has to be Neville. I can see this character going from total evilness to the good guy. "my wife will never forgive me" line is where his character's turning around.

Cheers, K

For some reason I can see Neville turning evil again as some twist on the show but it's hard to tell as the show is not predictable like some are.

I've always like characters like Neville. Yes, they're "mean" and cold .... but they get the job done. Remember Dr Romano (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005204/?ref_=tt_cl_t21) on ER ? He was the same way... Many movies or shows had the same type person.

If he can be trusted, and Miles can accept that, they will be a good combination ! Charlie probably won't accept him though.

He is my least favorite character on the show. I don't like two-faced bastards and/or people who blow hot and cold (and I'm talking about my trip to the Philippines and Thailand during my youth). I can deal with and perhaps even respect people who are consistent Jackwagons, but don't be an A-hole one minute and my buddy the next.

I'll be happy when Major Neville eats a bullet.

...except Major Neville has that "Dr. Zachary Smith" weasel factor working against him.

Danger Will Robinson!

Can't stand Neville...and I agree, he needs to eat a bullet, preferably from Charlie.

 

[Jimbo]

There's a relationship, but I don't recall specifics. Remember the older lady and her good friend that had cancer ? When Rachel talked to the old lady about turning power back on, she was very against it because her friend would die (presumably because the nanites would stop working ??).

Thats what I was thinking ..

NEVER happen, can't trust this guy even if he IS on your side, at the moment .... he has an agenda.

But they won't want to kill him off, that would be bad for business.

Yea, the show badly needs him as an antagonist/protagonist/backstabyist/flip-floppyist/bad-daddyist; the guy you would love to punch in the face.

 

[Jimbo]

And ya knew Monroe wasn't gonna be hurt bad from a week ago when he was shot, they need him in the story as well.

I just started watching the show after hockey. Although I complained a couple months ago, it's a nice move by NBC to have this show play a couple weeks after the other network's series finales.

 

[MikeD-C05]

The "Boston Marathon attacks" news coverage is the reason why this show finale is in June and not in May like the rest. Nbc being nice really had nothing to do with it. It is NICE for NBC ,that they have at least one show that gets ratings.

I wonder how it will affect their ratings? We shall see.
