Revolution- Kashmir

-___-

Of all the stupid adventure-of-the-week stuff this show has put us through, this episode was one of the worst. TWO Charlie death "scares" when we knew she was never going to die. Heck, it might be good if she did. If her brother were turned into the main character and a better actress were added as a female love interest. We hardly ever want a female lead replaced with a male one, but this girl deserves to be replaced. You know what's even worse than death scares? A whole episode of hallucinations. It could have been good if it had been more touching or made us care about the characters more.

So, as for what happened, the main gang passed through some subway tunnels and met some rebels. Charlie stepped on a land mine which caved an entrance in, cutting off their oxygen supply. Everyone starts to hallucinate, and one of the rebel guys turns out to be militia. He shoots a new character we kind of liked and another of his bullets grazes Charlie's head right after she shoots him with an arrow and kills him. Hey! Not useless.

At Monroe's camp, Rachel is building an amplifier for the necklace. Psych. It's actually a bomb because Rachel is the freaking best. Dr. Jaffe, the only other person who can build an amplifier, rats her out, so Monroe is about to kill Rachel and Danny. Rachel stabs Dr. Jaffe with a screwdriver and Monroe needs her again. That last scene was the best thing about the episode. Can this show be about Rachel, please? If the gang doesn't get to the camp by the midseason finale, we swear we are done with this show.
Episode grade: C-

  1. I have to suffer through Revolution - my husband likes it, well he thinks he does but we both agree this show is similar to Falling Skies.

    This show is less entertaining than reading tax law.

    Eric Kripke, go back to Supernatural!

    1. Falling Skies improved a whole lot on season 2. Though, it's nothing special...but more entertaining and watchable compared to season 1 and Revolution.

    2. We kind of liked Falling Skies, haha.

      Also, Supernatural is better this year with the new showrunner.

  2. This show will get better...just you watch. Don't give up. Giving up is never an option....specially when you have talented people involved in a show like Revolution. :D (I gave up on Grimm thinking it was going to be sucky......then on Halloween I decided to watch the episode....and wow...it's gotten a whole lot better.)

    1. Since Revolution is the only Monday night show we watch in real time, we'll probably keep watching it.

    2. The Following will hopefully change that.

      Also, Robert Greenblatt (NBC) said “The first episode back… is a big episode that completely turns the story in a really significant way” Dunno if we can trust him...but I guess that sounds good :P

  3. Did anyone else question why they needed 3 torches still lit when they knew the oxygen supply was dwindling?
