Revolution on nbc

[RobertB]

I think an undercurrent of the entire series is going to be to figure out what (possibly supernatural? possibly extra-terrestrial?) power caused technology to stop working.

I'm thinking it's maybe human caused or something. The one guy knows it's about to happen, and has that amulet thingy that allows a computer to work somehow. (It's in the trailer)

I am sure if I took the time to watch and enjoy the show, it will be cancelled.

Anyone see the ads and trailers for the upcoming Revolution TV series on NBC Monday nights? Starting on Sept 17th. The premise is apparently some unknown phenomena renders all electronics on the entire planet, and the power grid, useless. Seems just a bit too bogus for me, since not EMP, and the electrical grids are local/regional - i.e. there is no such thing as a worldwide power grid. Makes no sense either since power losses over long distances are too great for a worldwide power grid to be practical.

It looked like everyone was sword fighting, which seemed more than a little stupid. There are enormous stocks of ammo around the world, especially here, and that and firearms would't be affected by a solar flare or some other "unknown phenomenon" that kills electronics. Heck, the walking dead is a lot more plausible than this...

Leave it up to NBC to take a cool concept and ruin it.

Whether or not they give him credit for it, it's a TV version of S.M. Stirling's Dies The Fire book. Great read!

The "unknown phenomenon" must have left all the gun powder inert......

^^ have you seen British made series called Survivors. Apparently on that side of the pond even the thugs are all polite and kumbaya. Oh yeah.. still anti guns even after the end of the world as we know it.
