Synopsis:

Rachel (Elizabeth Mitchell) and Monroe (David Lyons) battle with more than wits.

Miles and Monroe once again face-off, this time even more lethally. Also starring Tim Guinee, Colm Feore, Maria Howell, Ramon Fernandez


Episode 19 of 20


Yup, the season is still not over yet. Next week is the season finale.

Good thing he took photos of the book with that random never ending battery camera or phone he still had on him while he was close enough to the power generators.

Or took out an important master page.......

Re: Revolution -- "Children of Men" -- 5/27/13

Ya know, when they started blowing away those guys with those awesome guns, I thought we were gonna meet the Californians. It just seemed like they'd have the kind of weapons that would just blow everyone away.

It's funny, I'm more interested in what's in California and the throwaway line of Governor Affleck than I am about them turning on the power. They're in Colorado at this point, it only seems logical that's where the story is headed anyway.

I think they are moving to Texas. The show is going to be filmed in Austin, at least. It was filmed in North Carolina this season.

The show still doesn't makes any sense but I'm getting more entertained lately, that I'm actually considering watching the second season. Hmmm.

Josh-da-man, that's exactly what I thought was meant by "the Californians" when I first read that post.

It was a new comedy from this past year starring Matthew Perry and John Cho.

Liked the coil guns and when Neville called Aaron "Chubs" and Aaron responded by calling him a dick. More of this please.

So it's going to be the Neville Republic... It seems they're going to keep Monroe around to follow the son plot line.

I've been interested in Texas the whole time since I'm, like, in Texas. So I hope they end up there..makes sense filming in Austin.

These characters are the most mobile post-apocalyptic people ever. In one year they've gone from some rural town to Chicago, Philadelphia, Annapolis, Atlanta, and now Colorado. Off screen we have side trips to Texas and California. And most of that was on foot.

No, it was on horse. It's just that Chubbs McGoogle kept eating the horses.

I want to see him chowing down zombie style then turn his head around to the camera with that befuddled look on his face that's covered in blood and gore.

I think I'm sort of losing interest in this.

At first, it was sort of an interesting premise where you had a world that lost its electrical technology with small pockets of people who had still had access to it.

But now everyone is flying around in helicopters, there are drone attacks, death rays, super guns, and nanites that can heal serious injuries in seconds. It's all getting kind of ridiculous.

And they have to use those Lost-like fast strings before it cuts to black.

Well for what it's worth, I was thinking 100% the exact same thing... except it was off script and the director has to yell "CUT!! Not again!!!" and start the scene over with a new horse and Fatty all cleaned up.

The coil guns were cool, but the CG blood was ridiculous.

at Neville calling Aaron Chubbs and then him calling Neville a dick. That got a big laugh out of me.

Oh hey nice to see Glenn Morshower in this episode.

This is what's known in sci-fi parlance as "future-speak".
