Revolution: Season 2 Episode 22 - Declaration of Independence

Hello and welcome back for the last time to the Revolution!  It was a decent show that got a very surprising 2nd chance.  It was a 2nd chance that gave us hope that we never should've had that it might be able to stick around for awhile.  It certainly improved over the 2 years as it was allowed time to figure out what works best, but the viewers were already gone by the time they figured it out.  The series finale certainly had moments that made it feel final, but it was really just bringing closure to the season 2 arcs and maybe some of the season 1 stuff.   But, clearly they left things open for future stories.  The cliffhanger pretty much indicated what we had already speculated would be the larger battle of the show.  My guess is that Kripke and crew wrote the finale knowing that it probably could be the end, but with a glimmer of hope that they could get renewed or picked up by another channel/service.  I just don't think there will be enough demand to make that happen though.   So, I promised that I would write a recap of this show and I'll do a very brief one.  But, obviously there's not much point speculating on a show that is over!  Here we go:

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 21 - Memorial Day (Discussion)

Hello and welcome back to a very short lived Revolution!  I regret to inform you of a couple things. First, I am still out of town with the newborn so am unable to provide a recap for Revolution this week.  Also, I'm sure you have heard by now that the show has been canceled by NBC and will not return for another season.  There's always hope of a save from Netflix, Hulu or someone else, but due to the lack of buzz around the show I wouldn't count on it.  I still hope to provide some kind of recap for the finale next week.  But for now, I will just have to join you in the discussion below when I get a chance.  See you next week!

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 20 - Tomorrowland (Discussion)

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Revolution.  I've made it no secret that I'd be pretty busy during these final weeks of the traditional TV season and it was no lie!  Unfortunately, I was able to watch Revolution last night so I cannot provide a proper recap.  I plan on watching it some time this morning so I'm still up for a discussion in the comments below.  Next week I'll be out of town as well, so we'll probably only have a discussion thread too.  The finale is May 21st and I will try my best to get out one final recap.  (Let's be honest, chances of renewal are not good!)   Sorry again about this, but I'll see you in the comments!

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 19 - S##t Happens (Discussion)

Hello Revolution fans!  I'm scheduling this posting in advance anticipating that I'm not going to have time to recap this week's episode.  As you may or may not know, I am welcoming a new addition to my family this week.  I'm sure I'll be posting a little something to announce it with the usual stats for anyone who is interested!  But, this being child #2 I'm certainly going to have my hands full for the foreseeable future.  I will try to join the Revolution discussion at some point, but not sure what I'll be doing from a recapping perspective for the rest of the season.  Let's play each episode by ear!

Feel free to discuss this episode in the comments below!  Hopefully, I'll see you in there.

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 18 - Austin City Limits

Hello and welcome back to the revolution!  We've arrived at Austin, Texas (and since they film in Austin, the setting is legit!) and seem to be amping up for a grand showdown for the season, possibly series, finale.  I'm not sure if it was Facebook, Twitter or TV ads but I certainly caught the teaser that we'd be losing someone in this episode.  And for a quick second, I started to suspect that the person I thought was untouchable might go down.  But, alas, I knew better!  Anyway, let's dive into some of the talking points of this episode.

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 17 - Why We Fight

Hello all and welcome back to the Revolution!  Not a terrible episode, but very little plot movement in the scheme of things.  We're just seeing things develop as we kinda assumed they would.  But, I'll do my due diligence and call out some of the key moments from the episode.  Though, my DVR seems to have cut off the final moments of the episode, so I'm not sure if I missed anything important.  You guys can fill me in.  Here we go!

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 16 - Exposition Boulevard

Hello friends and welcome back to the Revolution!  This show is continuing its path to answering some of the questions we've been pondering for some time on this show and has managed to keep the action coming as well.  Another entertaining hour in the books.  Of course, I'm still pulling double recap duty tonight, so I'll continue with my brevity!  Let's dive into the discussion.

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 15 - Dreamcatcher

Hello and welcome back to the Revolution!  That was a pretty darned entertaining episode which all ended up being one giant ruse in the end.  But, still very interesting to see what the nano are capable of.  And, it was a nice twist to see our heroes our electronically dominated present, even if it was a fabricated "Matrix" developed in Aaron's mind.  Anyway, this episode has brought Aaron's current arc to a close and we'll move on to an elevated state of terror awaiting around the next corner.  But, let's discuss some things that happened in the episode.

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 14 - Fear and Loathing

Hello and welcome back to the Revolution!  Decent episode with a crazy twist of an ending!  They definitely are continuing to infuse more mystery and weirdness into the story as it progresses and it is better for it.  Of course, it all might be too little too late for a season 3 renewal.  Stranger things have happened, but we'll keep plowing through until the end here on the blog!  That said, I'm back into 2 blogs on Wednesday night territory (yep, I'm still doing Idol. Don't judge me.), so let's be quick about this!

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 13 - Happy Endings

Hello and welcome back to the Revolution!  We had yet another enjoyable hour with our rag tag gang of rebels.  War is brewing, assassinations are being plotted, nanotech is playing God and mothers and daughters are getting all kinds of "happy endings".   Just another day in the life of Revolution!  Let's dive into our recap. 

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 12 - Captain Trips

Hello and welcome back to the Revolution!  Last night, we had an entertaining hour of television that was basically a setup episode for future plot movements.  And they gave us one of dramatic television's infamous subplots to deal with in the meantime: The Outbreak!  Let's discuss briefly the key developments that happened in this episode. 

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 11 - Mi Dos Padres

Hello and welcome back to the Revolution!  Things keep escalating in this crazy apocalyptic future.  We're starting to see a link between the East Coast arc and the Texas arc, and we're learning more about the crazy nannites.  I don't have lots of time this week, so let's jump right into our brief review!

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 10 - Three Amigos

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Revolution!  I'm suspecting there may not be many returning this week because I can't remember one single advertisement of the show's return.  Sure, it didn't take a long hiatus like last year, but still it wouldn't hurt to remind people that it's back.  Maybe they had something during the Saturday playoff games, but I must've missed it!  Anyway, the show continued it's pretty solid season 2 run.  Things heated up a little bit with 3 of the main characters venturing south of the border, and Aaron taking an hour walk to Oklahoma.  Let's get into the key discussion points of this episode.

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 9 - Everyone Says I Love You

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Revolution!  Well, we finally got some answers!  Sort of.  If anything, we validated your favorite blogger's opinion of what was going on.  (is that a sly way of saying "I told you so" to stuff we all probably assumed?  Probably.)  I'm sure I'm sounding like a broken record by saying this show has been on a roll.  It definitely continued this week in what MAY have been the mid-season finale.  NBC didn't promote it as such last night, but they also didn't show any previews for upcoming weeks.  (Note: IMDB still has an episode slated for 12/12, but that could change I'm sure)  Anyway, let's dive into our discussion points from this week!

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 8 - Come Blow Your Horn

Welcome back to the Revolution folks!  Another enjoyable hour of season 2 here.  And we're diving further and further into Aaron's plight.  It was actually the central catalyst for all of the Texas action this week.  And Tom continues his ascent in the Patriot rankings.  I'm a little short for time this week, so let's hit the main points below.

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 7 - The Patriot Act

Welcome back to the Revolution folks!  Man, this show has been on fire this season.  They've definitely brought a darker, grittier edge to the show.  So much so that last night had to have a warning of disturbing images and scenarios!  That doesn't necessarily make for a better show, but it certainly upped the stakes for what they're dealing with.  Definitely spent more time exploring the central mystery of this season as well which made for an even better episode.  Let's dive in and discuss!

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 6 - Dead Man Walking

Welcome back to the Revolution folks!  The show continues to keep me entertained, even if I saw right through the major plot twist even before the episode began.  There were still some other interesting developments that are bound to pay dividends down the road.  Let's dive in and discuss!

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 5 - One Riot, One Ranger

Welcome back to the Revolution!  Well, the gang is all back together and everyone is happy again!  Or, you know, completely miserable which is par for the course of this show.  But, it did make for some entertaining television to see our season 1 rivals forced to work together.  The show continues to exceed my expectations from what it showed us last year.  I'm not going so far as to put it on the same level as some of my all time favorites, but I definitely have started to anticipate it every week.  And that's always a good thing!  Let's dive into the recap.

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 4 - Patriot Games

Welcome back to the Revolution!  The show is still on a war path of improvement with another solid entry this week.  Of course, they went a little further in getting their "weird" on this week too which is a good thing.  We learned a little bit more about the Patriots, but their full intentions remain unclear.  Let's dive in and discuss!

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 3 - Love Story

Hello TV Addicts and welcome back to the Revolution!  We're still on a streak of decent episodes to begin this season.  Less mythology driven events in this one, but the action and plot advancement were good.  Let's not waste time making up nonsense for this intro and dive right into the recap!
