Thanks for the thread Fran. Hopefully, we'll be getting more Liz this week.

I'm looking forward to this episode, too. I haven't been able to form any real opinion about Rachel yet, and I hope to be genuinely interested in her story arc once she starts having more to do.

OMG YOU GUYS!!!!!!
I didn't expect to like the second episode so much! it was awesome. I'm starting to like the characters more (especially Maggie and Miles and of couse Rachel)
And LIZ!!! Liz is amazing and I have no words right now I'm too excited about what is going on with her character!
She is alive and badass and I love her so much already!!

I just watched the episode. I really wish the show would have recast the actress who plays Charlie. I just can't take her acting seriously.

But at least we got a lot more of Rachel and we were all right in thinking that she's alive. I even guessed correctly that the militia has her. The only thing I was surprised about is that they revealed it this early. I would have thought they would drag it out until the mid-season finale.

I did like the new character Nora. She has a good rapport with Miles and maybe this was due to the weak acting performances in the pilot, but I was pleasantly surprised by Daniela Alonso's acting in this episode.

My next guess is that all the amulets have to join together in one place to bring the power back on.

Ratings are out:

Despite the drop, it was still enough to win the time slot. Half hours were 3,7/3,2. We'll have to see if it will get adjusted down a tenth.

It did better than the second episode of Smash last year. I expect another drop before it gets settled but hopefully it'll stay above 2.9

it is doing way way better than Smash

Revolution is currently on a very similar ratings trajectory like Flash Forward. Hopefully, Revolution will hold up better than Flash Forward did in the long run.

ETA:

Final ratings are out. Revolution was adjusted down a tenth:

I liked this episode better than the first one, which is good, because I was very disappointed with the premiere.

I was surprised too when they revealed that Rachel was alive so soon, I thought they would wait at least until mid-season. I hope that that means more Liz.

Speaking of Liz, she gave me serious Juliet vibes, especially in the last scene. I didn't see Juliet at all in Erica, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing or anything. I actually like her storyline and I can't wait to see more of her.

The only characters I like are still Rachel, Miles and Maggie though. I still can't form an opinion on Nora, she was ok I guess.

I agree about Tracy Spiridakos acting, I wish another actress got the part, she's so bad >____<

I liked the parallel scenes with Charlie and Rachel when they killed these men, that was cool.

Good to know the ratings didn't drop that much I thought they would be worse.

Going from 3.7 to 3.2 in the half hour is not good though. Not good at all. It means a lot of people just changed the channel halfway through it... :/

~ayumi~

Yeah, that's not good at all

~Ross

I want to stay positive!! My heart would break if Liz stays away from shows once again.. and in Revolution she is so Juliet-like and I miss Juliet

~ayumi~

I would miss Liz a lot too, but I still think it's gonna get cancelled I think the ratings are gonna drop even more with each episode. The second episode was better, but still.

Yeah, Revolution lost 1.5 million viewers in the second half hour. I know it's not unusual for shows to lose some viewers in the second half hour, but that is too steep of a drop and could be an indicator for another drop next week.
