Revolution, 1.05

Well. That sucked. The writing on this one was just plain awful for the most part. The flashbacks with Neville's backstory were the strongest (Giancarlo ♥), but I don't connect with him at all, so it was kinda hard to care. The Nate=Jason reveal wasn't shocking at all. Even the super loooooong close-up of Nate's face at the reveal annoyed me. OKAY I GET IT MOVE ON.

What was up with how everyone suddenly got stupider?! Big Bad Miles basically lets Nate escape (what? he didn't think that might be something Nate would try?), Google has the super-important-secret necklace out in the open AROUND THE ENEMY, Nora sucks at camouflage (that log bomb was hella obvious) and just declaring that that knife "didn't hit anything vital", yeah, okay, doc, Charlie follows Neville when he obviously is suspicious of her, and why in the hell would Charlie give Danny the signal to distract Neville IF SHE HAD NO PLAN. She couldn't even get in the door! And by the time she does, Danny's gotten his 34982745th beating and is caught and then so is she, etc. WTF. By the end, I was really wishing Miles had just left the damned bomb on board, geez. Only part I liked about all that was showing how it had hardened Charlie.

I fully support when Danny got fed up and told Neville to shut up, heh, cos I was thinking the same. Also was wondering where Danny's bruises were from that wicked beating he got, but, okay, apparently he heals like his mom from torture. Anyway, Neville trying to connect with Danny with his speeches and fist-fights to toughen him up = Neville trying to recreate his relationship with his son? It would makes sense. Especially after Danny (stupidly) saved his life. Even if Neville's ways of going about it are way fucked up.

Things we did learn: There are 12 power necklaces! And, hey, Rachel and hubby were working on it together. And seeing ye old map. It's been so long since it'd been mentioned, I'd forgotten there were other, uh, districts! I was thinking Monroe and his militia pretty much ruled the entire U.S. He does not, heh. And I love how Texas doesn't have a post-blackout name... it's still just good ole Texas. Heh. Most likely due to its giant amount of guns therein. ;D

Miles: I can’t be him right now, cos I’m gonna have to kill Monroe. I’m gonna have to walk to Philly and kill my best friend.

THEIRLOVEISSOTRAGICAL. :'( I can't wait for them to finally be in the same room again.

I just realized that Rachel's husband was named Ben. And in Lost, Ben had the severe hots for Elizabeth's character, Juliet, heh. She can't escape Bens! Well, except by dying horrible deaths in the holes in the ground. WHATEVER I'M NOT STILL TRAUMATIZED BY THAT SHUT UP. :(((((((((((((

In conclusion: Dear Show, stop knifing the women, thanks. :|

I'm still annoyed Community got bumped from the schedule. WTF. It was supposed to premiere last night! Hmph.

Know who got renewed for S4? Bob's Burgers, that's who! :D :D :D

And Animal Practice finally got cancelled. HIDE YOUR SHOCK, PPL.

Private Practice got cancelled, too. This one's been coming awhile, so no shocker, but ABC didn't even order the back 9 eps of this season. I'm not sure how I feel about that. :\ I'm going to miss Charlotte and Cooper and the Cooplets. And let's face it, I'm not too confident how Shonda'll deal with having to tie up all the different character storylines that quickly. I did read somewhere that Shonda wanted to bring Addison back over to Grey's Anatomy once PP ended. I remember liking her so much better on that show! She got hella whiney during PP. Anyway, she and Alex had great chemistry, so hopefully they'll be working together. And wouldn't doubt Amelia comes along to be with Derek and the fam. Yay. :|
