Revolution: That all we are seeing, is the same old drill, week after week in this show i.e. the group goes after a Monroe militia group that has kidnapped its latest hapless victim where that rag-tag bunch once again comes to the rescue... a rescue that we know will be a success because they predictably are able to pull that off in their usual implausible manner in every episode,yes, week after week. IOW's, there's no suspense here because we already know the story-line and how it's going to end too! All they are doing is replacing the actors who played in those roles last week with new ones in the next episode that is recycling the same subplot with only a few tweeks here and there to make it look like it's brand new material.
So once again I'm calling it lazy and unimaginative writing and it is a real shame that these shows are like this because with all the free-lance screenwriters there are out there who are dying to get their foot in the door, Hollywood's insistence on keeping it all in the family means they are only dipping into a small pool who are churning out the same old crap,year after year. So is it any wonder why we are seeing the same basic plot-lines in each new sci-fi sub-genre that comes out each season that's being regurgitated year after year?
However, I do like the main plot-line that we are seeing in this show that they manage to weave in and out throughout each episode. The ongoing spiel about the pendant is interesting even though it's only moving at a glacial speed.. so much so, it will take YEARS before we will be able to even write a summary on that story-line that is at least a short paragraph long.
I will keep watching this show though... on Hulu so I can skip through the same old same stuff to get to the meat of the story having to do with that dang pendant.
