The Revolution Has Finally Got Me

I hate to admit it, but after five episodes, I’m all in for NBC’s post-apocalyptic drama Revolution.  It’s a watered down version of the genre, with a few parts Hunger Games with a little bit of Jericho (I miss that show) and a dash of Jeremiah for good measure.  Each week there are parts that make little sense, but I’m just going to suspend disbelief and logic for an hour every Monday night.

In this past week’s episodeSoul Train” we learn that it took 15 years to get a steam locomotive going.  I have no argument with the timeline, for at least the first five years you would be busy fighting off marauding bands of cannibals and ne’er do wells.  But wouldn’t we see a proliferation of steam powered devices?

    Wonderful article! I wasn’t so sure about Revolution at first, then I gave it a shot and I got hooked pretty fast. I’ve enjoyed this show all season and I can’t wait to watch each new episode. I record Revolution using my PrimeTime Anytime feature, and it will record all four major networks on one TV. I no longer have to pick and choose shows and I can play all them back within the next eight days. I thought this was a great feature once my coworker at DISH told me about it. I’ve been able to watch new shows I never knew about and I’ve started to enjoy. This keeps things simple and allows me to watch my recordings on any TV too.
