With her insistance of doing so, she reminds me of "lord vago's wife" from Chronicles of Riddick.

An interesting comparison.

NBC at TCA: "Deception" and "Revolution" Get Reduced Orders

As for "Revolution," Greenblatt made an off-handed remark during the executive session to "the last 10 episodes" of the season left to air. Said number would put the season total at 20 episodes, two shy of the traditional full season order of 22. A spokesperson subsequently confirmed to me that there are indeed 10 episodes left to air.

I really hope we will get a season two ! I already miss the show and discuss about it, usually how bad it is but still, it is being discussed. Every show has its failure and sure revolution is full of them but still it is pure fun at least IMO.p and it hasn't reached its potential... I have to say, I have slightly expected something different than we got from the first ten episodes but I still have faith that they will improve the next ten episodes and hopefully find its foot in season two if it gets a chance.

As a person who looks at the numbers I think a renewal is fairly certain

As someone who saw all the episodes, I still wouldn't care if this show did not come back. It had a great concept and I like the characters, but I feel that some things just haven't grabbed my imagination as it did in the pilot and second episode. It's been a long dragged out adventure to get to where we are and I just hope that changes.

yup. i said that about 2 months ago.

but, i don't really like the characters - especially charlie. shes as insufferable as sookie on true blood.
i like miles, and i like the tubby nerd guy whose name i can't remember. other than that, i think all of the other characters are cliche, predictable, poorly written, and one dimensional.

like i've said - they're making the same exact mistake as FOX did with terra nova: making it all mushy about characters. WHO CARES. People tuned in to the show because it was about this crazy electrical sucking catastrophe and we want to see how they are surviving and making their way through the world. Just like terra nova should have been about, you know, dinosaurs. If people want to watch a show about family, with well developed characters and interpersonal relationships, they will go watch Parenthood, or Revenge or something. But this is Revolution. I don't care about the characters. I care about the situation and the state of the world with no power. SHOW ME THAT STORY.

Umm you just said they are one-dimensional and then got up the show about being more character driven. So you hate getting too little and too much info about a character?

What I mean is most of the characters are terrible, and the show is character driven around these terrible characters, instead of focusing on the larger situation at hand: the state of the world and its people at large given this catastrophe.

I actually like Charlie and hate Miles. I mean, the whole "The militia are tough soldiers cause I trained them....because I am a badass so they are badasses too". What kind of BS is that?

On Supernatural, Kripke didn't have characters too big for their britches without later slapping them down. Why does Miles get away with being a cliche of an action hero?

Charlie at least has changed much more than Miles has over the course of the season. She's much more level-headed and willing to kill than when she started. The only thing I dislike is the whole "romance" with the militia boy. That started way too soon and without any build or chemistry (see Stargate Universe's Chloe and Scott).

Then for the finale we get Monroe in a helicopter in the most over-the-top ending possible. It just seems like some scenes don't match up with what happens later. And Kripke did a much better job in Supernatural's first season then all of this.

to be honest, i wouldn't mind if the season came back with monroe mowing them all down with the machine gun, and then starting the back half of the season following completely different/new character someplace else in the world.

Don't get your hopes up of that happening.

The first Revolution webisode, you can only view if your in the U.S. (unless you do some fancy proxy work)

Didn't look like that webisode revealed much.
