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!

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 2 - There Will Be Blood

Welcome back to the Revolution!  We got another solid episode to continue this already better season 2 last night.  The bad news is the ratings were not too great.  The good news is that it's NBC and the ratings are pretty much on par with what it was doing by the end of season 1.  The ratings are also better than what was airing at Wednesdays at 8 last year for them as well.  So, maybe there's a chance the show could stick around.  Shows like this don't traditionally increase viewers when the decline starts, but if word of mouth continues to bring a positive buzz around the show you never know.  With the Netflix model and people able to catch up on what they missed, anything can happen these days.  Just look at Breaking Bad's ridiculous momentum gain in the final 8 episodes.  (Totally different shows and no way am I even attempting to compare quality here!)

But ratings aside, the momentum of season 2 is pretty good and Charlie isn't making me want to scratch fingers on the nearest chalkboard for relief from bad acting.  So, we're in good shape!  And the mystery around the nano tech malfunction is only getting more interesting!  Let's dive into what went down.

Revolution: Season 2 Episode 1 - Born in the U.S.A.

Hello TV fans and welcome to the 2013/2014 Television season!  We are in brand new territory this year when it comes to our genre show of the year recap.  Ever since LOST there have been many shows that tried to capture that core audience in subsequent years.  Flashforward tried during LOST's final season and failed to capture an audience to get to season 2.  Terra Nova suffered a similar fate.  The Event was a non-event.  Here we are with Revolution now heading into season 2!   Season 1 was nothing to get too excited over, but it gradually improved over the year and a lot of us stuck with it through its growing pains.  The ratings weren't wonderful by the end of season 1, but it had the fortunate circumstance of living on ratings plagued NBC which allowed it to continue its life into season 2.  Now, this could be a blessing or a curse.  But, in the capable hands of Eric Kripke of Supernatural fame (which I have yet to start watching on Netflix), anything was possible.

Season 2 is immediately better than anything that has preceded it on this show.  It has a new gritty and darker tone, the characters feel 3 dimensional (I'm looking at you Charlie!), and the mysteries introduced are actually interesting!  And as predicted last year, it would seem like all of our antagonizing forces from last year will eventually be united against a common and larger foe that they previously encountered.  So, the conflict introduced (starting in the season finale last year) is more interesting as well.  I'm not going to go as far as giving my "W" word rating to this consistently improving investment, but I will say that I'm excited about the potential of season 2.  Hopefully, the viewers will stick around to let us find out where they're going with this!   That's enough of an intro wouldn't you say?  Let's dive into our quick recap!

Summer 2013 TV Discussion - Part II

Hello fellow TV addicts! We breached the 200 comments mark in our original Summer 2013 thread. So, I thought the premiere of the final episodes of Breaking Bad was a good enough excuse to launch a new one! This should carry us through until the FALL TV premiere season. See you in the comments!

Note: We got into some of the Fall Premieres in the end of this discussion post as well.
