Rachael & her deathwish. Instead of walking in holding the gernade, peek inside the tent. If Monroe is there, pull the pin and toss the gernade in. But now he sees it and will have a second to dive behind some cover or something.

If she had done that she likely could have even gotten away with it. With only two episodes left this season there is no reason to NOT have something happen yet we know something will go wrong.

Oh, man, if they've
Spoiler:
really blown up Rachel, the damned nanites better fix her or I'm out.

I'd probably watch her paint her fingernails for an hour, but otherwise this program is a steaming pile of crap.

Warner Brothers and Eric Kripke has decided to move production to Austin, Texas next season.

The 1st season was filmed in Wilmington, NC.

Well, boy band did ask Charlie to leave for Texas. Foreshadowing!

Also, I'm kinda horrified that Rachel agreed to Aaron's demand to feed him, in exchange for helping with her plan, by killing that soldier. At least she was lucky to get a secondary use of the uniform and grenade.

I actually was a little bit entertained by this episode, that I even considered giving the second season a try :shudder:

Again, this show as a lot of potential, the writers sometimes try cool ideas, some actors do their best effort. But they just can't fucking deliver. Both writers and actors.

It's a shame that the actress portraying the character that the whole show revolves around can only display one expression. No matter what happens, we get the same goofy wide-eyed look.

I'm severely disappointed that you guys are 10 posts deep and there is no reference to "Fatty McGoogle".

This episode felt like filler. The whole running-out-of-gas plot felt like a stall tactic. I thought next week was the finale, but shit--there's 2 episodes left.

A lot of the episodes this season were really hit or miss.

Thought this was one of the better ones in the 2nd half of the season.

The reveal that Jim was behind the murders was interesting. Thought that Malik Yoba was going to hang out longer on the show.

at the cliffhanger with Rachel and the grenade. Like she's really going to be a suicide bomber and accomplish that.

I thought it was obvious it would be him. It was either him or that other dude who escaped from Monroe with Nora, and that would have been too obvious. I agree with Joe above - this episode was nothing but filler.

Episode was pretty terrible, but I keep wondering when does Charlie have time to curl her hair and make it look all sexy and such.

Boy, for a gal who's been tortured and (I assume) raped for close to a month Nora sure as hell looks good. She recovers fast too! (Must be the nanites- they're anti-rapey)

They also kept her from getting pregnant so it wouldn't be legitimate rape. Gotta keep it TV-14.

So what you're saying is the nanites aren't Todd Akin fans?

Fatty McGoogle needs his own spinoff. It can be like Survivorman but opposite. His sidekick could be a talking pie.

It also appears food got much easier to find over the next three weeks before they made it to the tower.

Re: Revolution -- "Clue" -- 5/20/13

it's been what, 15 years since the power went out? They really expected to find fuel at a random stop along the way?
Sure no ICE vehicles are running anymore but after 15 years I'd expect all fuel to have been used. Cooking stoves, heating, lanterns, flaming pots for catapults, etc.
