JJ Abrams: Revolution

This is the next installment of JJ Abrams' TV shows. Revolution began in 2012 and ran two seasons.

In a previous post on Fringe I mentioned that the show was about fringe science until the final season. It took a hard turn and focused on an out of control government and the loss of personal freedom.

Fringe was cancelled.

So, JJ Abrams teamed up with Eric Kripke and brought us Revolution. This show focused on what would happen if the lights went out forever. Batteries didn't work. An instant thrust into the "stone age." Governments fall. Militias rise up. It gets pretty crazy. As in crazy good.




Then, in season two Revolution took a hard turn into fringe science. And it was cancelled.

Oh vey.

Two topics that don't go together: revolution and fringe science. You'd think he'd learn this one... but... Wait a few days... because Ooop! he does it again!

Did you watch the fabulousness that was Revolution? What did you think when it veered into fringe science?

  1. I didn't realize you started posting here again!

    Yes, I liked Revolution and was very disappointed when it ended. They left at a real cliffhanger that made me think they were going to return the following season. I hate it when the networks do that. They did the same thing with Flash Forward.

    I'd almost rather seem them just make feature length films as the shows tend to have a lot of filler material that could be condensed way down.

  2. Arlee, I actually started posting here again because of what you said in your blog about how you shouldn't just leave your blog unattended for a very long time. So, YOU were the inspiration at work here!

    1. It's nice to know that someone was paying attention and took it in a positive way. A few bloggers actually got upset about me saying what I did.

  3. I blog about TV shows as well, but I focus on different ones from you. Revolution is one of the few shows both of us have written about. My first post is here and the second is here. I should replace the dead video embeds with fresh ones, if possible. The one you have might just work.
