Revolution - Pilot (1x01) - Episode Discussion

Pilot

Episode Description


SEASON PREMIERE - AN EPIC ADVENTURE FROM J.J. ABRAMS, ERIC KRIPKE AND JON FAVREAU
Monday, September 17, 2012, at 10PM, on NBC

What would you do without it all? In this epic adventure from J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions and "Supernatural’s" Eric Kripke, a family struggles to reunite in an American landscape void of electricity: a world of empty cities, local militias and heroic freedom fighters, where every single piece of technology -- computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights -- has mysteriously blacked out forever.

The series stars Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Graham Rogers, Anna Lise Phillips, Zak Orth, JD Pardo, Giancarlo Esposito, David Lyons, Maria Howell, Daniealla Alonso, Tim Guinee and Elizabeth Mitchell. Kripke, Abrams and Bryan Burk ("Lost," "Star Trek") serve as executive producers, and Jon Favreau ("Iron Man," "Iron Man 2") serves as co-executive producer. "Revolution" is produced by Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Bad Robot Productions, Kripke Enterprises and Warner Bros. Television.

The pilot was directed by Favreau.

Thanks for the ratings skje. Revolution is off to a great start, but as we have seen from shows like V, FlashForward, The Event etc., it's the weeks after the premiere that truly count. I expect it to drop, especially when Castle and H50 return with fresh episodes, but the show should be fine if it doesn't drop below a 2,0.

You are right it's NBC, if the show can maintain the 2.0's, it will be safe

it looks like The Mob Doctor is going to be the first show to be cancelled this season

The premiere got truly awesome ratings. I would say we have to wait until episode 3-4 to have a full idea of how consistent its audience is going to be, though.

I wanted to post some thoughts about the episode here, too (I only wrote a bit in the spoiler thread when the pilot made its way online) but I'll wait until I've seen it a second time to be fairer in my comments.

Basically, I knew everything that would happen in this first episode, because I watched the promotional video and it revealed the whole thing. But I still liked it. Or maybe I liked it because I watched the first 4 episodes in a row.

I knew the final scene would be Grace using the computer to communicate with someone else revealing the electricity still exists. But even knowing it, I thought it was a very cool way to end the episode. I don't know if it was intentional, but it's a nice LOST reference.

The AC/DC t-shirt was intentional.

Bass and his tattoo get me curious because it exists before the militia and the soldier saw the tattoo and let him go. Or maybe I'm thinking too much about it.
