Revolution: A Love Story
I was just looking at that pic of Leland Orser and thinking that Revolution was coming down with love interests this year. It seemed a ridiculous amount, so I decided to make a list…
I have issues.
Canon only. The list of my fanon love interests alone would use up the allocation of Internet words.
(Oh, some ship prejudice may be on show. However, I think I spread the snark pretty even?
1: Nora and Miles. Old lovers reunited, she may have miscarried his baby, he may have followed her down a beach. The relationship has never really served Nora’s character well, but it is pretty established.
2: Miles and Rachel. He arrested her. Was surprised she wasn’t dead, got slapped in the face. The fact it wasn’t a shanking appears to mean she has had Miles over her desk and longs for another go. She also hates him a bit and doesn’t trust him a lot.
3: Miles and Monroe. Stop poking me. It is here on bromantic terms only for now. However the love between a man and his best friend for 30 years is one of the core fulcrums of the show, so can’t really leave it out. We all hope to see Miles tattoo (or in my case, the black dot he got to before chickening out.)
4:Julia and Neville. Their love is so political. He wears his collars too tight and she has a very savvy idea of power dressing. Honest, if she program-hopped to Spartacus she would be running the place from behind the scenes in no time. I grumble sometimes because I worry Tom is going to off my favourite cee, but Giancarlo is awesome.
5: Charlie and Jason/Nate/Nation. He is just one person, he lies a lot. Apparently it is going to be Romeo and Juliet. I will leave that there, because there is less chemistry here than my old chemistry class where the teacher hid in the storeroom to have a breakdown and we set fire to shoes.
6: Emma and Miles. His first love. I like to imagine they met when they were five. I cannot roll my eyes enough over the whole conceit of this relationship. The only saving grace will be if she is out for herself like a sloth on meth.
7: Monroe and Emma. Apparently he was obsessed with her. We don’t know why. Maybe she had the best Transformers?
8: Monroe and Julia. I doubt this will be an actual romance, but Tom is apparently going to get his Militia undies in a bunch about them spending time together. I think it will be awesome, personally. Monroe doesn’t seem to like women much, and Julia is like a knife in a dress. She will end him and he won’t even know it,
9: Rachel and one of the new guys? I don’t know, but wasnt there talk of one of the scientists being her old beau? Can’t blame them, Old Shanking Matheson has it going on,
10: Aaron and Priscilla. He was rich, she was pretty. She loved him despite his beard and habit of letting her drink water with poo in it, he abandoned her to die so he wouldn’t have to help around the house. Hope Priscilla has moved on - it has been 15 years, give the woman a life - and tells Aaron to stick his pendant where we will find out if it vibrates. May contribute a proto-Aaron, but we hope it won’t go that far.
Anyone I missed?
Bonus pic because, yeah, this is what I worry about the show turning into:
Although, if you imagine Rachel is about to shank Miles....
