So I haven't been watching TV for quite some time now... I watch Walking Dead (who doesn't?), but that has been done for months... So here comes fall and the new line-up. In anticipation of Walking Dead starting again in October, I thought I should give another show a chance. I watched Revolution - figuring that J.J. Abrams doesn't do crap shows - but I guess he made an exception.
Here is why: No consistencies in the MAIN PLOT POINT. I understand that many things in a tv show or movie will require a suspension of disbelief. Really, I do - I love fantasy and sci-fi, which require copious amounts. BUT if the main plot point is that power disappears, and the first 5 minutes of the show explain that it is ALL power - EVEN CAR ENGINES - then you have to be consistent. If a combustion engine no longer works... than ALL chemical reactions have stopped. ESPECIALLY guns, digestion, fertilization, etc. OH! wait... that would mean everything stops. Everyone dies. Stopping power transfer with some sort of technology (which is what is alluded to in the show) would stop the electrons from moving through circuit/wiring. It would NOT be able to pick and choose what Chemical reaction will work and what will not. you can not choose to affect car and plane engines but let gun power work. that is just stupid.
think it though more.
