I didn’t watch Revolution because I thought the premise was ridiculous.
Someone posted a thread soon after it, and it got mixed reviews.
I did watch The Last Resort. For some reason, ABC released the first episode to On Demand and online, even though the actual premier isn’t until later this week. I will catch another episode or two, but I’m not sure it has a premise that will last very long — an American sub gets secondary instructions to fire nuclear missiles on Pakistan, but when it asks for confirmation, it gets fired upon by another US warship. The sub and crew go rogue.
Not Fi, but Si ...
interesting video entitled “How to Get to Mars”:

I liked it. They address the fact that the blackout shouldn’t be possible very early on. and there is a “game changing” scene at the end.
I liked it enough to download it from iTunes (for free).
It’s not perfect, but if they go the right way it could be very good.
Speaking of "Three", I watched "The Power of Three" episode of Doctor Who. Some of the stuff that they're putting in the dialogue is getting silly.
They've been traveling with the Doctor for "10 years" now, on and off? Bad enough that they disappeared for seven weeks on their anniversary (but at least they made it home the same day). A friend of mine was confused about the comment last week about Amy and Rory aging faster than their friends -- I had to explain that there was nothing wrong with them, except that they are living for days or weeks within a single day.
And don't get me started on the doctor's age! He managed to make it to 2010 and be a ripe old 905 or so. Now he's 2000. He more than doubled his age with a line of dialogue. I realize that he's some kind of immortal, but isn't that pushing it a bit? And he's still got a lot of life ahead of him -- he's only encountered River Song as two of his incarnations, so far. She's met more of him.
And on a tangent: my library expanded its collection of old Doctor Who on DVD! Woo hoo! Some have been updated, but I watched the original versions for all their cheesiness, and then watched the bonus material to see what they did.
Okay, enough. I'm rambling.
I thought it was ridiculous too. There was a scene where the militia were using musket loaders as their rifles while the black bad guy had a semi-auto handgun, which made no sense at all. I guess the premise was that even standard firearms were rendered useless following whatever happened when the power went out.
Swords, bows and crossbows as the primary means of self defense? Give me a F'n break..........this will be a one season pony only.
This season has been a bit of a disappointment. I think Moffet is running out of good script ideas.
