finally was able to watch the last 2 episodes.
predictable. mildly ok.
they should have killed monroe, and been done with that arc, because he's a terrible villain. and i don't want the whole series (should it come to that) to be able their war with this one guy. they should move off and go someplace else. I'd like to see what's happening around the rest of the country.
it's probably monroe flying the chopper.
i'm actually more interested in how they got the rights to the Zeppelin songs. LZ is notoriously stingy when it comes to letting their music be used like that.

Besides, how else will they provide tension? Miles is out for Monroe's blood and Nevil's possibly going to take his spot. (in fact, him taking his spot is very interesting mainly due to the fact that he's a better character than Monroe.)

Monroe'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.

The 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. While I was expecting them to kill Monroe, after seeing the look in his eye when Miles chose family over him...there is still more to tell with the story and the relationship. Before Monroe truely cared about Miles...now the hatred in his eyes...he's going to be more vicious then ever so while people may want him to die because they think the story is old..it's not, it's just beginning because it's changed....
I for one am looking forward to seeing just how far down Monroe is going to fall to try to kill Miles, which given his style, will most likely be at any costs.
And I can see Neville trying a coup at some point to take over Monroe's empire.sigpic

The main issue with this plot to me is that there's a lack of explanation that gets in the way. Earlier in the season there were flashbacks of them together which hinted that Miles started the Militia, (since he mainly comments on how abused those guys are; Monroe just followed him.) adding to that is the type of stuff Miles did and how he's known as one of the top dogs; heck it seems like his legacy eclipses that of Monroe and you definitely don't get that type of legacy just sitting around.
I don't buy the fact that "Monroe is evil" and I certainly don't buy the whole "assassination" plot, it would be better if Monroe was the main star but since it wasn't it just makes the whole "I should of killed you" thing feel weightless. If there was something regarding the whole position of power thing than yeah, maybe but as it is "Monroe" is the forced villain (though with some concerns regarding electricity) and every attempt to force that down our throats will just lose me; in fact I disliked the flashbacks that they've shown mainly because it forced the contrast while allowing the characters themselves to neglect the explanation aspect of it.
The only thing they could of done to make it work is if Monroe was cautious about the people, not Miles.

I imagine he'll be supper pissed that he wasted the power (when he loses it) in a futile attempt to kill them.

I don't think Monroe is evil(or that he's supposed to be evil). He's a villian, but villians don't necessarily have to be evil. I like villians that I can kind of feel sympathy for(and I do feel kind of bad for Monroe). He's gone a bit insane, moreso after Miles left him, and I also think he'll be even more dangerous/unhinged during the second half of the season(since Miles rejected him/tried to kill him again). I think that will be, what causes Neville to take his wife's advice, and try to overthrow Monroe. I like Neville as well, so I'm looking forward to seeing how that all plays out(however it plays out).
I'm also looking forward to seeing more of Randall(?) and Grace. I think they really need to do more with that part of the story. It feels too much in the backround.sigpic

Again, all things could of been resolved had Monroe started the Militia and Miles been second in command to him.Back from the grave.

Originally posted by Zombies Rise from the Sea View PostI have to agree... Monroe has been the ultimate of Darth Vader stereotypes and there's only so much they could pump out of the fact that they're "former friends". The only way it could be salvaged is if they provided a decent explination about the establishment of the militia and how they broke up (I don't buy that Monroe is that evil) but they had their chance in the season finale and they didn't do it.
Besides, how else will they provide tension? Miles is out for Monroe's blood and Nevil's possibly going to take his spot. (in fact, him taking his spot is very interesting mainly due to the fact that he's a better character than Monroe.)
I would to, I would also like to see some people who are able to embrace the technologies of the past and the utilization of science and nature as a whole but since this is basically "Star Wars"; our heroes get prime focus.
I think I have a idea what happened.
