Miles had good intentions when he founded the militia. They(Miles and Monroe) both had good intentions. Miles admits that things went too far though, that he was tired of all the blood. Some of the bad things they did might have been necessary(especially at first) to gain control and keep it; but they ended up going too far. They became oppressive military dictators. Having Miles be the one who started it all, makes it more tragic for both characters, especially Monroe, since he was only following Miles' lead at first.

Additionally, it would of come up with a new character dynamic for Miles, him regretting the death of Monroe mainly because it thought it would dissolve the Militia; that would of made him more ruthless and given more justification towards the hatred of the "villain".Back from the grave.

Originally posted by Zombies Rise from the Sea View PostThis I can agree with, there's definitely something to being changed so radically that you forget who you are. They really should of mentioned that in the mid-season finale instead of the "family" speech.
I don't know if Miles acutually wanted to kill Monroe during their confrontation; I think he still cares for him no matter what he said, or else he would have just shot him instead of saying things to provoke him. I think Miles would only kill Monroe if he's absolutely forced too.
Originally posted by Zombies Rise from the Sea View PostThis has me thinking; if he did assassinate Monroe then wouldn't someone else take his place; someone like Neville. They both layed the foundation for the Militia but that doesn't mean they can't kill it by chopping off it's head, someone else will just come along to replace it.

I think it might also be intersting if Neville is the one who ends up killing Monroe. Either way Neville would make a good villain.sigpic

Originally posted by hedwig View PostUnless he has a clone, there's no way it's Monroe flying the helicopter.Originally posted by Ian-S View PostYup he's standing on the water tower (for now).
so by the time they exit and are running through the field, monroe has descended and is in the chopper taking off.
i don't recall seeing anyone down in the area with the helicopters, so it's not like he could just start barking orders, besides, how would he communicate what he wanted the pilot to do? he doesn't have a radio to tell them. so either way he would have had to go down.
Originally posted by Rosehawk View PostThe thing with Monroe is that they want to tell the story about how two really close friends, practically brothers, did so much together and now are at opposite ends.
it's like in the first star wars movie, obi wan tells luke about what happened between him and anakin. it's not something that's fleshed out in uber-detail. then at the end, obi and vader have their reunion, and it ends. the end. the story moves on.
this is a world where so much could be explored. JUST like on Terra Nova. But, they're concentrating on stupid character sub-stories that no one really cares about. Terra Nova promised Dinosaurs, and didn't deliver. It got canned. Rightly so. Revolution promised a future where humans are learning to live all over again, and the struggles that go with it - and that somewhere, someone, might be able to turn the lights back on. I don't care about friends being at odds with each other.

Both Miles and Munroe may have had good intention at the start but Munroe "took it to far" don't they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions?
Originally posted by Brother Freyr View PostMonroe's an alright villian, but I wholeheartedly agree with those who say he should have died. It was a good arc. End it.
Remember when Sylar was killed at the end of Heroes season one? Sylar was a great villian, and his death was a perfect end to the season's story. Bringing him back in season two was the worst mistake the show ever made. It was lazy writing. They had plenty of other ideas to mine for new story arcs.

It's easier to continue writing for the same old characters, but it's not always good story-telling. Kill the character. Let a different character fill the vacuum created by the death. Introduce a new personality, or develop an existing one. (Neville would be interesting as new leader of Monroe militia.) Complicate the story. Enrich it. Don't be safe and boring. That's what I'd tell the Revolution writers.
That said, I still enjoy the series and will surely watch it when it returns next year.

Can't wait for it to come back either . at first I didn't think I would like the show, but it hooked me
the guy who plays Neville was also a bad guy in Leverage, so I knew he was going to be really bad right from the start. hmmm, wonder if he'll follow his wife's advice and kill Monroe just so he can be in charge?sigpic

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.Originally posted by aretood2Jelgate is right

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.sigpic
