That’s right, at the end of last season the power came back long enough for nukes to get launched over Philadelphia and Atlanta. So, now…??

We jump ahead six months.

Yes, we play catch up, starting with Charlie (Tracy Spiridakos) being so obviously on her own in the Plains Nation. Charlie, who beds a bartender, is much more tolerable than pouty Team Member Charlie. Charlie who’s hunting Bass Munroe is also pretty tolerable. Did you get the idea that Charlie was intolerable last season?

In fact, the show itself was a running joke around here. “The Best Show On Television” it was mockingly called. With all the characters that were so absolutely critical to the big story of the power-outage, Revolution was an Abrams-Favreau broadcast TV attempt at Science Fiction where the bombast just fell flat. Better than Terra Nova? Well, OK…a little. Has there been a change in the music between seasons? Will the music be different on premiere night from this review screener? Overbearing musical cues can really mess up a show around here. I’m looking at you Under the Dome. (PS. the Abrams-J. Nolan Person of Interest was the best SF show on broadcast TV last year.)
