Episode 20 of 20


Will be back in the Fall for a 22 episode season. Moving to Wednesdays at 8pm

Very inconsistent season, but I'll be back in the Fall. BTW, Warner Brothers hired Rockne O'Bannon as writer and Executive Producer for season 2.

Joe Schmoe

So sad to see that Miles, Neville and Monroe will all be back for Season 2... although I'm not sure I will be. At least Billy Burke showed some brief emotion for a change. There really are no likable characters on this show, so it's hard to care for any of them (or another season).

VHS?

Why does it bother so many of you. Just dont watch the fucking show for fuck sake. Move on.

I'll be back next season because it's fun. I dont ANALyze it like most do. It's a fictional TV show.

This show needs more gay....where are all the gay people once the power went off? Unless they all moved to California, hence the ominous warning...

I'm glad they wrapped things up with the 'no power' storyline.

Altho the reasoning behind nuking the cities was kind of convoluted...so now the country will come back together and reunite because are they tired of all the infighting?

I was disappointed that Nora died. Why didn't Rachel pop out the device in her leg and stick it long enough to heal Nora's wound? They couldn't spare 5 mins for the nanites to fix her up before flipping the switch?

I couldn't help but burst out laughing at Charlie's 'She's dead Mom.'

Xiroteus

The show does get a lot of flak yet I still enjoy it even if things are ridiculous at times.

Timing? It may also need to be programmed differently based on what it did before.

DJariya

at Neville giving Monroe shit for his "Erotic fixation" on Miles.

Who said there weren't any gay characters?

So the real POTUS is sitting in Guantonimo Bay waiting for the Monroe Republic to get nuked before he can return and take office. Since we didn't see the POTUS's face, I have to assume that the actor will be cast this offseason.

Of course with that type of cliffhanger, someone or something is going to stop the nukes from going off.

So with the power back on, I guess it's really about re-unifying the USA and destroying Monroe, I mean Neville and his goons for next season.

RIP Nora. I guess that paves the way for Rachel and Miles to eventually hook up.

WTF was with the musical recap?

They killed off the hot chick?

DJariya

Supernatural does it too, which is also an Eric Kripke show (he's the creator of both shows). They tend to do a big music-driven recap before the finale.

Xiroteus

Rachel seems so cold most of the time in doing what needs to get done yet if she wasn't they may have never gotten that far in the first place.

TheKing

The President, whoever he is, ordered two cities to be nuked. I think it's safe to assume that he will be the new villain for this show, while Monroe and Neville are relegated to the background.

I mean it's not like this President could have any legitimate claim to be the president of the United States, considering the power's been out 15 years, and the country has been splintered off for so long, so he's really just another guy trying to grab power.

And of course, I'm sure they're not even going to try and explain how power plants that have lied dormant for 15 years all of a sudden start producing power again. Restoring a cell phone battery is one thing. But restarting power plants with no workers? Lights just coming on all over the world?

Line of the night:

"How many more people have to die over this?"

Seriously? How self centered is this girl? It's a freaking global blackout! Even Luke got over losing Obi-Wan, and he was a huge whining pussy. It's like millions of lives dead...no biggie...but millions of deaths + one is just too much.

Xiroteus

That was a stupid thing of her to say, what was Rachel suppose to do, have everything be for nothing and risk the power not getting turned on after everything they have been though.

Joe Schmoe

So has the United States Colony held elections every 4 years during the blackout and that's how they currently have a president or was he elected before the blackout and he's remained in power since then?

And now that the power is back on, it changes the premise of the show. I was originally intrigued about a series where the world had to learn how to live without power, but now that's over.

Red Dog

Ah, Gitmo.

Jadzia

How did the power come on everywhere when they flipped the switch? Who is working at the power plants? And all the lightbulbs and wires still work after 15 years? My power goes out when the wind blows too hard.

Raul3

I'll continue watching.

I think part of the complaints of some people, it's that it's a sci-fi show that has a lot of potential. But being a network show they have to "dumb it down" so the numbers are right.

I'm fine with how they are handling the story. It has its ups and downs, more downs, but it's still entertaining. And I keep my expectations low.

Xiroteus

Thought the same, there would be major breaks in most places, fifteen years of storms and no one to maintain them? A little wind and rain and there goes the power I could just imagine what places outside the city limits would look like.

OldDude

Wait 'til we have more windpower. No power when its calm and the lines are down when its windy.

Josh-da-man

I know that someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the nanites or the project where they were created supposed to be some kind of alternative energy kind of thing?

So when the switch that turns the power back on was flipped, the nanites, which are everywhere, can power up any electric device that happens to be turned "on" (ie, has a completed circuit) whether it's hooked up to a power source or not. Likewise, when the nanites are "off" they won't allow any electric device to be powered.

Remember when that woman (forget her name, she got killed early on) had her iPhone come on? I doubt that battery would carry a charge after fifteen years.

windom

Anyone other geeks like me out that that tried to analyze Fatty McGoogle's C++ code? It was had something to do with Neighbors and Neighborhoods...at least those seemed to be object/class names. He was using STL at least.

greydt

I have a bad feeling that season 2 is basically going to start with them having to somehow re-engage the nanites in order to stop the nukes, and its back to square one plot-wise.

Xiroteus

Thought about another thing, I would have to look again to see how many lights were lamps vs built in because after awhile I would likely just store all the lamps elsewhere just in case yet would find no real reason to have them all over the place when they are useless.

It looks like they have about half a minute or less and not even in the room yet which in cliffhanger terms means they have at least half an hour and will get in the room with ease.

Eric F

Nora? A big Fuck you mom, "She's dead"

I think the better storyline is the POTUS/GITMO thing. I want to see more of it.

resinrats

I don't think they have to get into the room. Chubbs McGoogle just needs turn the midichlorians back on on at the same workstation he just shut them off at.

Lifepawn

I don't think (for show purposes) they even need to stop the nukes. All the main characters are in Colorado. Only Neville's wife, a minor character, and the Georgian president, a even minor-er character, are on the East Coast that I can think of.

Xiroteus

I should notice this things, the only reason it was a big deal to get in there was to stop him.

Thinking the same thing, they may not stop them since all the main characters are no where near the nukes.
