Revolution: Episode 1.11 preview

[SoCal]

Everything will change....forever.....



I can't believe they're going to make us wait until March.

[AntiArbitrator]

Is it conceivable that they did not even start to film any episodes beyond the first ten? I cannot imagine the reason for the looooong wait.

I enjoy the antagonists in addition to Miles and crew. In fact, I think I will enjoy insane Bass better than formal Monroe. I think, under the circumstances, Monroe and Rachel were too formal and stately. That is why I kept wondering if she was actually being tortured. Or if maybe they were lovers.

So far, we have speculated if Rachel was with:
Miles
Monroe
Aaron
Nora

[SoCal]

Nora? Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

[AntiArbitrator]

OK, lined through Nora.

Btw, I did watch the last episode again, and after Rachel slapped Miles, 4 guys with automatic weapons were already through the rear door, so there was no way to remove the pendant from the machine.

I can't help it; insane Monroe looks awesome and exciting. C'mon 2013.

I don't know if I will continue watching because of a long break.

I know Bas is evil, but his eyes (especially his angry eyes) are hypnotic!

We will remind you and post a recap.

[SoCal]

Good idea, Anti.
This really is too good a show to miss.
Even though, for some reason not known to thinking individuals, NBC has taken one of its highest rated programs OFF the air for 3 months.

[AntiArbitrator]

I don't want to forget the return date. If they had pushed it back any further, it would be in April.

[SoCal]

Anti, if the NBC people are as stupid as they seem, they will emulate the CW network by pushing the return date back a week before its declared return date.

I just wish they'd give us a little hint about what's going to be happening when it returns. But, I'm a spoiler-a-holic.

[AntiArbitrator]

I have heard no spoilers about what will happen. The other network makes me angry when they shift the schedules with hardly any notice. The trailer that you posted looks good, but we have learned from the other network that it is possible to preview one thing, then show something different.

[SoCal]

I like how you don't use "the other network's" name. I think that's how I'll refer to it from now on.

An idea worth stealing!

[AntiArbitrator]

You make me laugh. I do not think they deserve a shout out from us.

[SoCal]

I wonder when NBC will start giving us peeks at upcoming episodes?

[SoCal]

FINALLY....a little bit of info:

REVOLUTION

PREVIOUSLY ON... | Charlie was reunited with her brother and mother in Philadelphia, as Miles rejected Monroe's offer to rejoin the Militia. Together, the Matheson clan escaped but got stopped in their tracks by the sight of Bass' airborne, pendant-powered military helicopter.

COMING UP NEXT | Now that Rachel and Miles have come face-to-face in the present, expect to get more answers about their mysterious backstory. “We’re absolutely exploring it, because we left them with her getting handcuffed after surrendering to him in a flashback,” says executive producer David Rambo. “We would like to see more of what happened 10 minutes later between the two of them.” Meanwhile, Charlie and Jason's “paths will cross again,” and there's a very good chance the NBC hit will explore the world outside of the Monroe Republic. “We had [exec producer] Jon Favreau with us for a day in the writer’s room and he loves these other republics, what they could be,” reveals Rambo. “He gave us some fantastic ideas about what these other places in North America might look like 15 years after a blackout.”

RETURN DATE | Monday, March 25 at 10/9c (NBC)

[AntiArbitrator]

I did wonder how long they could stretch the story if people were able to obtain power, and it seems they have come up with some solutions. Monroe's people will be fighting other republics that, I assume, do not have power. I am certainly interested in more backstory on Rachel and Miles and the other characters.

[SoCal]

I just can't believe we have to wait until March to find out what happens.

[AntiArbitrator]

They have added an additional minute to the previews. Note the epic background music. I guess this will have to satisfy us until March.

[Mistermoonlight]

Love the new stuff at the end.

And Rachel's line "Monroe has power. Let's get some of our own."

[SoCal]

Crap. Just saw this on SpoilerTV.com:

NBC is taking a few episodes back from its freshman dramas "Deception" and "Revolution."

"We had an original order for 13," "Deception" executive producer Gail Berman told me after the show's panel at the TCA Winter Press Tour. "It was cut back to 11 because Bob [Greenblatt] did what I thought was an incredibly ingenious move: they put it on so [it] would have no interruptions. So it's 11 in a row. They couldn't fit 13 in a row."

As for "Revolution," Greenblatt made an off-handed remark during the executive session to "the last 10 episodes" of the season left to air. Said number would put the season total at 20 episodes, two shy of the traditional full 22-episode season order. A spokesperson subsequently confirmed to me that there are indeed 10 episodes left to air.

[SoCal]

Question: Anything on Revolution? —Pete
Ausiello:On the casting front, Eric Kripke tells us we’ll be seeing “a lot more” of Colm Feore (as the mysterious Randall) and Mark Pellegrino (as militia meanie Jeremy Baker). He also had new scoop on ER alum Leland Orser’s character, John Sanborn — that he’s an old scientist colleague of Rachel’s.

Are we going to see more of Randall and Grace on Revolution? — Kevin
NATALIE: We'll learn more about the evil mastermind holding Grace hostage very soon. "Randall starts to play a very large part in the mythology in the second half," executive producer Eric Kripke tells us. "They're in this mysterious location, and we'll learn what [it] is. We'll learn what Randall wants, what he's doing and indeed how dangerous he is and how it'll affect our heroes." Bonus: Kripke also says we'll get all those answers by season's end.

[AntiArbitrator]

The latest information is encouraging. More Pellegrino and more Grace & Randall. They make Randall sound very dangerous, but can he be more dangerous than Monroe?

Forgive me, but I still do not know what made the power go out. I know the technology can interfere with power, but did they tell us what transpired to cause the disaster?

I am glad all the questions will be answered by the end of the season because Kripke is just as likely to end something by completely ignoring it the next season.

Edit: I must add that I love coming to this page because I am treated to the sight of Monroe's tragic eyes each time.

[SoCal]

No, I'm sure they never told us exactly what happened to make the power go out around the world. Sounds like they will let us know before the season ends, though.

I'm not sure if Randall is dangerous, evil, mad or something else. We've seen too little of him yet for me to have a clear grasp of his character. Who is Grace? Was she also employed by Randall like Ben and Maggie? At least he doesn't seem to be torturing her the was Monroe had Maggie tortured.

What turned Monroe? In the flashbacks he looks pretty normal and certainly not as strong as Miles. I would like to know more about what happened between them.

I'm just sorry there are only 10 episodes left in the season. That's a lot of material to cover in a short number of episodes.

I agree with you , Anti, about Sebastian's eyes. They are so expressive. If only he wasn't evil!

[AntiArbitrator]

At the time the power went out, Monroe was the loyal soldier who wanted to stay and guard their post. Miles was the one who wanted to leave and he did not hesitate to kill when he thought it was the smartest choice. The only hypothesis I have is that Monroe snapped and became bloodthirsty. I cannot imagine what else happened between them. I hope they tell us.

[SoCal]

Seriously, will Danny be less of a wimp when Revolution returns? — Helga
NATALIE: Yes! Danny will no longer be the requisite whiny, useless teenager that genre shows tend to include. "He was ripped from his home and realized he had a mother and was beaten along the way by Neville," executive producer Eric Kripke tells me. "I think that really matures him and ages him in a way that we'll really see in the second half of the season. He'll really be willing to take up arms in the fight against Monroe, so in that way I think he really starts to evolve into a warrior."

[AntiArbitrator]

Danny's gonna be a warrior.

Let's see Danny and Nate fight.

[SoCal]

Oooooooooh, you're so evil. I knew I had a good reason to like you!

Danny Nate

Miles Sebastian

[AntiArbitrator]

Danny has to defend his sister's honor. Fight! Fight! Fight!

[SoCal]

Is it March 25th yet?

[AntiArbitrator]

Thanks SoCal. Those were entertaining and whet my appetite for more.
