Yeah, I actually cried a bit watching this. This promo made me realize all over again that I've been missing this show a lot longer than the couple of months since it's been canceled. I miss the first half of season 1--bb!Charlie and reluctant!Miles and the amazing relationship they forged. That's the dynamic I fell in love with, that's the show I wanted to keep watching. So while I did enjoy (and even love) the second half of season 1, and even season 2, it's like I was watching something else, a show called Revolution with those same characters but from a parallel universe or something.
I have to admit that I feel ambivalent about the cancelation. Yes, I wish the show was still on, but at the same time I'm glad they won't have a chance to ruin it (further).
such a beautiful promo! Damn, whyyyyy? :( Now I'm sad. I completely agree with you, the first half of s1 was what was the show, the rest was just leftovers we grabbed because that was all they gave us. Ugh. So much wasted potential.
I'd quote you, but I'd be quoting the whole thing. I feel the exact same way- I loved the first half of S1, didn't really like most of the second half of S1, had high hopes for S2 only to feel like I'm watching a completely new show with characters from a parallel universe (great way to put it, I just tend to say they got taken over by the Nanites). And yeah, I can't say I was completely crushed when I heard about the cancellation, because the show has been dying a slow, painful death long before NBC put it (and us) out of its misery.
I was crushed by the cancellation, as I wanted Bass' redemption to have a damn real arc. They left him by the wayside and stuck him with Connor and that was not what I had in mind by redemption. Sigh.
But I loved the same things you guys did and do miss it a lot.
I was crushed too. Still am, really. I guess that what I was trying to say is that I don't really trust the writers, because they did mess up after the first half of season 1. They seemed to be so out of touch with their fandom. I'm not saying that they should have catered to the fans' every wish, but having a clue about what we love and trying to keep at least some of it would've been good, I think.
You know what's interesting - I'm rewatching season two, and after seeing the first two eps again, I'm like - WHAT WERE THEY THINKING SERIOUSLY. It is NOT the show that they built. How in the hell did Charlie get all sexed up, who gives a shit about "new" villains when we have the best villain already, and can we just work on the premise that they started writing in season one? And if we're going to have Bass try and have a redemption arc, can he have that arc???
I love Charlie - I guess what I was thinking in her scenes with that random guy she slept with - when had she had time to get all loose or whatever? I actually remember thinking that the first time I saw that scene. I get that she wants to find out about Monroe, but … doesn't seem out of character to you?
Well, I actually *was* crushed when I heard the news about the cancelation. And I'd love to have a 3rd season, it would make me so happy. But at the same time I'm scared about how it might go, because the writers seemed to have no clue about what the fans actually liked about the show, and they gave us so little Marlie in season 2.
Well, there's the difference for us, because the show managed to kill my love slowly and there was a strong possibility of it being cancelled, so I was mentally prepared and wasn't crushed. I was sad, but I was also a bit relieved, the thing that crushed me was the idea of losing the comm.
