Time for a Revolution

Revolution finally came back this week, and the first episode back did not disappoint!

We picked up right where we left off...with the our gang escaping after rescuing Danny (and Rachel) and Monroe has power...and helicopters with guns. -Thanks Rachel! - But yay for having Elizabeth Mitchell doing more stuff.

So Rachel's alive, and is pretty much responsible for everything that has happened....except for the part that belongs to Miles.

 ...Anyways..Rachel comes up with a plan to get our heroes power from an old friend who was in the know. (Did his name have to be John?!...we already have Miles, Aaron, Daniel, Charlie, etc.... -Its a little too LOST)
Oh yeah, and he's played by Leland Orser who was in ER with David Lyons... - oh and the thing with the sonar gun thing...was very LOST sonar fence/time travel flashes....I think I've got LOST on the brain.
-So the friend is working for Randell. Who is one serious bad/mysterious dude. Lucky this guy sucks at tying people up..yay for Miles!

-Not really caring about the Neville family drama...I find that kid kinda annoying, but at least Charlie didn't let him join them.

Meanwhile the rest of the gang are fighting with the rebels against Monroe's militia and his guns. Rachel and Miles come racing in with serious fire power at the 11th hour and Miles attempts to fire at the helicopter...but gets blown back. Danny seeing an opportunity, gets the rocket launcher and boom, bye bye helicopter.
Sadly the guns were fireing as it went down...right through Danny's chest.

I knew someone was going to die...I had 4 guesses as to who it would be, Nora, Aaron, Danny and Jason. The ones that don't really matter too much to the overall story.
While it does suck that we spent the whole first half of the season attemtping to rescue Danny...what that was really leading to I guess, was a means of finding Rachel. But also the fact that Danny was the reason Rachel did whatever she did -that made the power go out...to save baby Danny in the first place...makes me kinda want to pull my hair out...but oh well.

Speaking of pulling things out...Rachel after grieving for the son she barely knew, cuts him open and pulls something that flashes out of him..WTF?!

Can't wait for the next ep and the rest of the season. PLEASE let them get a 2nd season!
 
So questions answered....Miles did NOT know Rachel was still alive...he thought she was dead.
Oh and also...they have totally had a thing in the past. - which makes all the Nora/Miles stuff complicated! -Ouch.
-I'm still sure that Rachel and Bass had a thing back in the day too...or at least some serious Stockholm syndrome stuff going on. -Rachel you floozy!

But pretty much all the other questions are still unanswered. I've heard why the power went out is coming up in the next few eps.
I'm still waiting for the 'why Rachel left in the first place?' answer...and what her history is with Miles, and Bass and did Ben know what she was doing?
Also why Miles left the Militia and why he tried to kill Bass?

 -Not at all important...but where do all these clothes come from...I kinda imaging after 15 years there wouldn't be much left...especially shoes!

March TV

A lot of shows have been on and off for the last few weeks. Nashville seems to be only on every 2-3 weeks. I've lost track of Modern Family and Suburgatory's schedules. Luckily there is still plenty to keep me entertained.

Smash is back. Its good, but I gotta admit I'm a little disappointed in this season.
It doesn't leave me thrilled at the end of each episode the way it did in season 1. There is not enough Bombshell, or Ivy, or singing.
I mean I love Jeremy Jordan and Krysta Rodriguez...but their characters are kinda annoying, and Krysta doesn't really get to sing.
I miss Jessica and Bobby and Marilyn. I miss Ivy's Marilyn. I know the ratings are not as good this season...and I think part of it is that they've lost too much of the original concept. These other musicals in progress are taking away from Bombshell, and from the main characters. There is less singing and dancing. I miss the dancing. And no matter how hard they try, I just never accepted Karen as Marilyn. Team Ivy all the way.
It looks very likely that Smash will not be coming back for a 3rd season...and I wonder if they has stuck with just Bombshell and that one musical process, they might be doing better.

I'm halfway through season 5 of ER...George Clooney's last ep made me cry...again. I like him in movies, but Doug Ross was a great character.

Revolution is finally coming back on the 25th, so I have watched the whole series so far this week. I still love it, and am totally stoked for it to come back. I've got a list going to questions I want answered, and also I heard someone is going to die in the first ep back...my theories are -Aaron, Danny, Rachel, Nora, or Neville's kid. I hope they don't kill Rachel - cause Elizabeth Mitchell is awesome and while I like flashbacks, its going to be fun to have the family back together.

Speaking of Elizabeth Mitchell...Ness and I finished season 5 of LOST the other week...and I cried. Those last few eps are so depressing. Although it was the 1st ep of season 6 that really made me cry. Poor Juliet and poor Sawyer. -So glad for their reunion in the series finale.
Sooo excited for the LOST tour when I go to Hawaii in June!!!

Nothing else has been noteworthy really...everything is just puttering along fine.
