Revolution

[alliecat8]

If y'all wanted to watch J.J. Abram's new show - which I mysteriously seem to be the only person on my flist who watched...and liked! - they're replaying it tonight (Wed.) on NBC at 10 p.m. (ET).

It occurred to me that, since a bunch of us already have a committment at Revolution's present time slot - Mondays at 10 - Hawaii 5-0, of course! - that might be why you stayed away. Because otherwise, it seems like the kind of show the flist *I* know might like! :) I'm in the same boat; I'm not giving up on watching MY BOYS when they air! But I will record Revolution, at least until I know if it's gonna draw me in or not.

Consider this a Public Service Announcement.

Revolution is okay. I wish it was a show about Miles, Maggie and Aaron on a quest to find the obviously not dead Elizabeth Mitchell and defeat Giancarlo Esposito. That would be a GREAT show. Instead we have the focus on overly stylish petulant teens who can't act. I will give it until Thanksgiving to address this balance between the main girl and the more interesting characters/better actors. I remember Lost started off feeling like all Jack all the time but started spreading the love after a few eps.

But if you are actually looking to recapture all the best parts of what being a Lost fan was about, check out Last Resort. It doesn't immediately seem like the kind of thing our flists would like, but by the end of the pilot it is clear. It is a good replacement solely because it isn't trying to be a replacement the was Flashforward, The event Nd now Revolution were trying.

*Word* on the overly-stylish petulant teens. And yet, having raised two of the varmits, I know that teens are always petulant and would move heaven and earth to be stylish, even if the earth was decimated. I just wonder where Danny got the electricity for his blow dryer and Charlie got her hot rollers.

I think it's a good idea to give it 'til Thanksgiving; that'll give it time to find its feet and its rhythm if it's ever going to. I'll probably do the same thing.

Have they aired the pilot of Last Resort? I thought it didn't come out until Thursday. I'm definitely planning to watch it!
