As Revolution approaches its midseason finale, it's gearing up to go out with a bang! With only two episodes left and so many questions still unanswered, TVGuide.com spoke to stars Billy Burke (Miles) and Daniella Alonso (Nora) about what to expect as the gang finally closes in on Philly...
"It's going to be incredible!" Alonso exclaimed when asked about Monday's episode "Kashmir." The episode will also feature a much-anticipated twist to the flashbacks. "Everything that you think is, may not necessarily be," Alonso teased.
But while we try to wrap our heads around Monday's twists, let's not forget the other big surprise this episode: Led Zeppelin! The legendary rock band has licensed two of their songs, "Kashmir" and "Since I've Been Loving You," to feature in the episode. According to Alonso, Monday's collaboration is only the first of many to come between the series and musicians. "That's a cool twist," the actress told TVGuide.com. "It adds another dimension to the show."
Zeppelin's intense tracks will help set the stage for the high-octane episode, in which Danny (Graham Rogers) start to suspect Rachel (Elizabeth Mitchell). But even though she's turned to the dark side, Burke doesn't believe that necessarily makes Rachel - or any of the show's so-called "villains" - bad people. "Most evil characters, if they're not psychopathic, they become that way because they believe in what they're doing. And whatever they believe in just gets stretched to every degree possible and then they can't stop themselves from hanging on to that belief," Burke explained. "I think that's true for most of these characters in this show, with the exception of maybe Strausser. He may be psychopathic."
Burke told reporters their [Miles and Monroe's] history with the militia would take a while to draw out, but "we're going to start to get heavy into that backstory" in the second half of the season.
However, Burke did reveal the interesting nugget that Miles' current mission isn't the first time he betrayed the General. "There was a point during the past 15 years where Miles did try to take [Bass] out," the actor said. "Two lifelong best friends, brothers, having had that happen [and] coming back together, it's tough."
And while the series seems to be setting up a full-scale revolution, don't expect Miles to resume his old post as militia commander. "The way it feels to me now is that he'd want nothing to do with it," Burke said. "However, he's already in the fight... so that's going to be a choice that comes up at some point too. If, in fact, that does happen."
We know not to expect everything to be revealed at once, but we had to ask if we were going to get any answers before Revolution goes lights out until March. "We start to uncover a little bit more about the pendants and Randall and the machine," Alonso said before adding: "I feel like after Episode 10, one question's answered, but 10 more questions pop up."

- I like the extra dig at Strausser (hee), and Billy's explanation of 'evil characters', coz I agree and it's nice to know the same thinking's going on behind the scenes. Boooo waiting until the second half of the season for more M&M info/backstory tho *pouts* ...altho Lifelong BFFS hey? That's new information *adds to headcanon* ...and uhoh Daniella's little quote at the end makes me think I am woefully unprepared for the Mid Season Finale cliffhanger ...I have nowhere to PUT 10 more questions. My head is full :/
