No comments on this week's Revolution, huh? Not a good sign.
The implausibility, it burns. A lot.
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I like the actiony bits. Uncle Ninja is good times, and the Militia is interesting. I'm leery of the rebels and, jeesh, another mother I thought was dead but isn't!
I have great powers of ignoring implausibility until it hits me right between the eyes. Which Revolution hasn't quite done yet.

I'm just saying, they have no electricity, but they have plenty of hair products.
I did like the action-y bits, and I'm glad there's some killing being done, rather than just threatening. That did go a long way towards making me like Charlie. (The sanctimonious speech afterwards, not so much.)

Not loving Charlie so far. Also, the bad guys ban the American Flag? Do they execute people by tying them to railroad tracks as well? I mean , would anyone with the organizing ability to start a feudal empire fail to wrap themselves in the flag and patriotism - come up with justification as to why they are the successors to the constitution, or a temporary step until the nation reunites or whatever?
Pings me more than the hair product. I mean I'm willing to overlook people on shows being improbably attractive, improbably well-groomed, and dressed in improbably stylish clothes. Cause I get to look at them, and that has entertainment value to me. Extreme unnecessary stupidity on the other hand does not add to entertainment value, unless it is part of the plot that the character is supposed to be stupid and often not then.
My reaction so far: not hooked, not hating. Will watch the next episode, but could stop at any time.

Yeah, I'm finding Charlie kind of tiresome. I like Danny, though - the kid's got spunk, telling Giancarlo he's a psychopath.
That they have scary guys named Randall and Monroe is making me hope for some kind of xkcd tie in.

I do hope they address why the Republic abandoned US symbols, especially since Monroe was military in the before times.

Also, why the hell would you get a tattoo that shows you're part of the resistance? A death wish?

I agree with Ginger's spicy brains.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Besides, how big is Randall's empire, anyway? Couldn't you just, like, walk a couple days and be quit of it?

Revolution was on opposite Castle, and my old-school Tivo didn't catch it. So pardon me for being dumb, but which one's Charlie, the Google guy?
