Revolution cancelled by NBC

I like David Lyons, The Cape was cool, Revolution is iffy but it isn't his fault. I haven't seen him in anything else. :shrug:
 
I feel like I should have turned it off right after the scene where Charlie tells Miles to go at it with her mom. That way the stupid nano zombies wouldn't have left me hanging.
 
If they did go to a season 3, how can they fight the Nanites without power and computers. Aaron almost stopped them when he had access to there code but now he does not have that. Just finding it hard to see a compelling 20+ episode season 3, I'm sure NBC saw that also coupled with the ratings dip.
 
but Monroe STILL alive? Sheesh.

And the Texas General survived his stabbing??

I think season 2 had the opposite issue to season 1.

Season 1 no one was safe, dead was dead, you never knew who'd still be standing the next week. Season 2, pretty much everyone was safe, or if they died came back shortly after. Didn't even have any pointlessly in a last minute twist at the end.

But it also had the problem of making its villiains too popular that they were afraid to continue without them.
 
Yup, just like Heroes with Sklar and others, did not want to kill anyone off and sacrificed credibility to keep them around.
 
I though it was pretty good up until that last bit with the nano. I would have been curious to see where exactly they were going with it, but overall not quite sure what to make of it. Really wish they would have given them some way to tie it up, either with a movie or a short season like Nikita and Warehouse 13 got.
 
But did anyone think Monroe was an interesting character? Neville was definitely interesting, and well acted. But not Monroe. Never convinced me he could be a charismatic leader.

And Miles...was he ever not a sourpuss? I wish they would have shown him have a legitimate happy laugh once in a while
 
Revolution lost me very early. There was this one episode where the main character was trying to rescue her brother from a train and it resolved by Fring's son throwing her off the train to save her, and that just struck me as extremely lazy plotting. Nothing about that sequence made any sense and it seemed like a contrived excuse to do what they wanted and still maintain the status quo. That gave me the message that it was the kind of show that didn't care about having consistent internal logic and plausible action. I never watched it again.
 
He didn't need to be charismatic because he delivered results.

Besides it's the 19th century again.

The man on the street had no media contact with Munroe other than maybe a newspaper article about him putting across his point of view and agenda. They did what they were told or they were flogged in the middle of town square.
 
Yeah Neville was way better than Monroe, the trouble was they didn't seem to know what to do with him.

I won't miss the show a great deal, but I will miss Mile's near permanant "Seriously? You're kidding me?" look :) I imagine it's how Billy Burke must have looked when reading the scripts.

It's amazing it lasted as long as it did though given it's continuned illogic.
