Revolution	comment	Revolution is an NBC TV Series (written by Eric Kripke, directed by Jon Favreau, and produced by J. J. Abrams) that takes place in a post-apocalyptic future.Fifteen years earlier, an unknown phenomenon permanently disabled all electricity-powered technology on the planet, ranging from computers and electronics to car engines, jet engines, and batteries. People were forced to adapt to a world without technology, and due to the collapse of public order, many areas are ruled by warlords and militias. The series focuses on the Matheson family, who possess an item that is the key to not only finding out what happened fifteen years ago, but also a possible way to reverse its effects. However, they must elude various enemy groups who want to possess that power for themselves.The series premiered on September 17, 2012 and was ordered for a full first season after only three episodes. NBC ordered the second season on April 26, 2013. NBC cancelled the series on May 9, 2014.In May and June 2015, a four-part digital comic book series wrapped up the story.For other works by this name, see Revolution.Additional Pages: Episode Guide Shout Outs

Revolution / int_116a941b	comment	Applied Phlebotinum: The nanites have the ability to reproduce infinitely without any noticeable consumption of mass; absorb electricity; emit electricity—both alternating and direct current—in quantities large enough to power anything from an iPhone to a major city; instantaneously heal compound fractures; partially cure asthma; suppress the spread of cancer; and (as of the Season 2 opener) apparently revive the dead. And a few episodes later, set people on fire.

Far worse is the episode 4 promo, which reveals someone dies in the episode, and it was very easy to deduce that it would be Maggie. Oh, and the trailer for the pilot episode was essentially a short recap, spoiling the entire events of the episode up to the cliffhanger. The commercial for "Love Story" made sure to show Rachel getting shot in the heart with an arrow, which occurs in the last five minutes of the episode, at every opportunity.

Revolution / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: In "Captain Trips", Rachel realizes the Patriots are purposely killing off people with "undesirable" physical or mental disorders. She all but lampshades the connection by saying, "They're trying to make the town pure." And it's further elaborated on in "Exposition Boulevard" when the usurper-President Davis insists that the population loss and subsequent wars and conflicts are "natural selection". It's pretty obvious that the Patriots embody a "survival of the fittest" ideology, as evidenced by Davis speaking of the inscription under the Pyramid: "A new order for the ages." The Founders of the USA likely didn't mean the same kind of new order that Davis means, though. Programmed by the Patriots to do their bidding, Jason takes aim at the President of Texas from an upper floor of what appears to have been a library. There's even a second shooter!

Miles and the gang spend the entire time trying to save Maggie after she was stabbed in the leg. Even after Aaron manages to suture the wound, Maggie informs everyone that she's already lost too much blood and she dies. The first half of Season 1 was all about Charlie and Miles rescuing Danny after he was captured by the militia. After ten long episodes, Danny is finally reunited with his family...and then abruptly gunned down by a helicopter in the eleventh episode. Season 1 was this in a nutshell. After losing Danny, Nora, and dozens and dozens of other innocent friends and civilians, and having gone clear across the country to get the power back on, the protagonists finally succeed in their mission. And then they have to turn the power right back off in a desperate attempt to stop nukes from killing millions. They fail, and the power ends up going back off anyway.

Justified in that we don't know whether or not bandits or wild animals beyond the capability of Charlie's crossbow to take down are in the woods. And the militia appears to be just as bad of a threat, if not worse. The militia may have also imposed restrictions on how far ordinary citizens are allowed to range from their homesteads, just as medieval serfs (and plantation slaves in the pre-Civil War South) were bound to the estates of their masters. Get caught without a pass and you may wish the bear had eaten you first...

When Davis gets free, he flies into a rant about how he represents the true America, and how he's going to get Texas and California to wipe each other out for him. However, when he gives the order to have the heroes shot, it turns out that the "Patriots" are Texas Rangers, and the de facto leader of Texas is in the other room — this whole scenario was a setup to provide Texas with undeniable proof that the Patriots were playing them, and results in Davis' arrest and Texas declaring war on the outnumbered Patriots. For added symbolism, the confession takes place in a church!

However, she managed to not screw up in episode 2 by tricking Nate and succeeded in killing the warden and another man. It may be because she isn't good with close-range or unarmed combat; she is a good shot with her crossbow, but since crossbows can't fire as quick as a real bow after a single shot she tends to be helpless. Which may be why her father warned her not to go into the woods. Too many people in the village have gotten hurt or killed trying to save her ass. She's gotten measurably better since levelling up, but still needs rescuing far too often.

Apparently the major rival to the Monroe Republic, and possibly allying with the Plains Nation to eliminate it Texas: Texas, with what appears to be parts at least of Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana, as well as a sizable chunk of Mexico The Plains Nation: the Midwest from Minnesota to Montana Wasteland: Utah and the Rockies The California Commonwealth: The West Coast including a sizable chunk of British Columbia.

This would be an In-Universe trope, but, over time, the rest of the cast doesn't even call her out on it. Rendered moot as of episode 10, due to Team Matheson rescuing Danny. Episode 11 ends with Danny getting killed off. The entire main cast suffers from this in Season 2. In Season 1, the main characters seemed to at least have a vague goal of helping the Rebellion, but as of Season 2 their only goal is to stop President Davis (before President Davis is even shown to do anything evil, all the characters already hated his faction)...but don't seem to have any identifiable goals beyond that.

He has Danny sitting in a chair, and he thinks it's a good idea to not tie him to the chair and to turn his back on him. And this is after Danny has openly shown himself to be a Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass, The Dog Bites Back, and showing a refusal to be intimidated or impressed by Neville, and just giving him Shut Up, Hannibal! responses. Charlie runs with it in "Sex and Drugs" when she agrees to assassinate O'Halloran for Drexler in exchange for saving Nora. She learns that unlike The Sociopath drug lord Drexler, O'Halloran is a former police officer and family man—and yet attempts to go through with the plan anyway. Yes, Charlie, kill off a potential ally who has a strong enough force at his disposal to destroy Drexler's fields, rather than have him help to destroy Drexler's operation and save your friends. When the amplifier is first finished and activated, Miles is right there for a moment with all the badguys in the room dead. And neither he nor Rachel thinks to grab the pendant?

Subverted when the following episode reveals that that is in fact an illusion that the nanotech created in order to trick him into fixing it. The season 2 (and series) finale. The nano is stepping up its drive to bring all of humanity under control and has retasked the escaped "Patriots" to converge on a town in the Wasteland (former Idaho) where the power has been turned back on. In happier news, The Patriots that haven't been "captured" by the nano are dead or are on the run, and Texas has managed to back off from a destructive war with California. This also means the East Coast can rebuild without the spectre of a fascist US government overshadowing them.

Revolution / int_9bcd82c0	comment	Took a Level in Badass: Danny appears to be trying this. He's developing talent as an escape artist, freeing himself from handcuffs twice (and eluding the militia for several hours the first time) and faking an asthma attack to lure a militia soldier who was taunting him into a near-fatal beating. He even manages to land a good punch on Neville during the impromptu boxing match. Neville, for his part, seems to be encouraging this in an offhand way either out of sentiment as a father or possibly to recruit Danny to the Monroe side. Aaron took a level when he was forced by Drexler to duel with Nora—Aaron turned the gun on himself, shot himself in the chest (actually, where he kept his flask, which absorbed the shot)—and then shot Drexler when Drexler came to check the body. He's been leveling up in almost every episode since then, to the point where even Miles no longer intimidates him. As of Season 2 he's returned from the dead, has rapid self-healing ability and can set people on fire thanks to the nanites, making him easily the most formidable character in the series if he could only control himself. Charlie. She killed a militia lieutenant in episode 7 and didn't even blink, and this was after she agreed to kill other militia soldiers in cold blood. She can kill without needing her crossbow, and has become fairly proficient with actual firearms. It's almost like she's Miles's kid, not Ben's. The Rebellion collectively looks like it's about to, courtesy of aid and advisors from Georgia. Mexico seems to have taken a few levels relative to what's left of the United States, although that may be a case of the former US losing enough levels to make Mexico seem more badass in comparison. While it's not exactly doing great either, Mexico is stated to be wealthier than any of the republics north of the border, and appears not to have Balkanized to the extent the US did (it's still called 'Mexico' and the Mexican army appears to still be a coherent fighting force). It's noteworthy that citizens of Texas are trying to sneak into Mexico for work, and that Mexico can maintain armed border checkpoints.

Revolution / int_9cc7c9fe	type	A Nuclear Error
Revolution / int_9cc7c9fe	comment	A Nuclear Error: Several in the season one finale: Nuclear weapons are pre-programmed with their mission profiles, and cannot usually be reprogrammed immediately. It seems unlikely in the extreme that American nuclear missiles were targeted on Philadelphia and Atlanta just prior to the blackout (although the possibility exists that the rump US government could blame the strikes on a third party). Which they did come Season 2. No word yet on how they explain that the nukes went off in the very cities that the Monroe Republic and Georgia Federation were supposed to be launching to other places. Nuclear missiles require constant maintenance; nuclear warheads do degrade over time; and land-based nuclear missile silos tend to flood in rainstorms unless continuously pumped out. Nuclear missiles are subject to dual-key control at the silo (assuming the problems with a loss of contact with squadron command have been resolved). Even if a missile was still functional after 15+ years of abandonment, and targeted on the appropriate city, there would be no way to fire it without manually turning the keys. It should be noted however that it was planned all along to launch nukes at Philadelphia and Atlanta. So who is to say that the US government in exile did not sneak in teams to repair and rearm the nukes in preparation for the attack? That would solve the problems of the missiles needing maintenance and the keys. Targeting the missiles at the cities may have been a problem though, since that would require access to the computers and power. Possibly the exile government has access to their own pendants since as of the end of Season 1 not all have been accounted for. Given the reveals in Season 2 that the Patriots based out of Guantanamo have been "preparing the ground" for at least a decade prior to the events of the series, it is becoming a lot more reasonable to suppose that they did have teams going around to the extant nuclear silos and doing everything short of actually firing them off (since as discussed in the WMG page the triggers they use are not mechanical in nature and have to be fired electronically) so all Randall has to do is literally push a button.

Otherwise, the militia and their overlords will get it and probably use it for themselves alone. Grace, the woman who helped Danny, has one as well, and it seems capable of restoring power (in a limited area, at least). Grace and at least one other party also have a primitive (early 1980's level) computer with acoustic modem capability—implying telephone service as well as electricity—and appear to be coordinating some larger agenda. As of episode 5, Rachel has revealed the existence of 12 pendants. Three have been accounted for, and the whereabouts of the remaining nine have yet to be revealed. To be true, we have seen three of them and the action of a fourth (the one used by Grace's correspondent. Episode 8's map shows seven in the former borders of the USA. Presumably the other five are either "dead" or are in other places besides North America. Episode 9 reveals that the pendant has an approximate range of 9-10 feet when active. They can apparently be activated if you touch the flash drive part a particular way. Episode 12: Rachel removes the flash drives from two pendants and drops them in tubs of chemicals to destroy them. This might help explain the other five missing pendants, except it's pretty strongly implied they can only be tracked when active anyway - except when Randall's remotely pinging them. After Danny's death in "The Stand," the episode ends with Rachel cutting a small capsule out of his side. And it's blinking. Hmm...

Nora Clayton (Daniella Alonso) sure likes her low-cut, thin tops (and is seen removing them at least twice). "The Love Boat" has Nora have sex with Miles Matheson at the end of the episode. "The Longest Day" has Nora then saying to Miles that she feels having sex with him is a mistake and later she gets captured by the Monroe Republic. "Clue" turns this into a Deconstructed Trope by Nora being forced to wear a white dress for Monroe, being tortured and may even have been raped off-screen.

It's particularly jarring when the Monroe Republic surrounds the Great Lakes on the American side but does not incorporate southern Ontario at all. Flyover Country: Related to the above neglect of Canada, the nation's midsection is divided into two sections: the Plains Nation (not so much a 'nation' as a collection of throwback nomadic tribes in a half-nod to the Braids, Beads and Buckskins model) and the Wasteland (most of the Rockies) despite the people in these regions arguably being more prepared for an emergency of this nature than most and several centers of organization that could serve as the nuclei of successor states.

However, when electricity is brought back, various vehicles and even helicopters are quickly made operational even though their systems must have degraded a great deal during the intervening period and any replacement parts would be in similar condition. There is also enough gasoline and aviation fuel to operate them. This is all approximately backwards. Ammunition stores for decades and the USA has an enormous stockpile of it; it should be the absolute last thing a paramilitary force in the Midwest is having issues with. However petroleum distillates all decay quite quickly so the only way to have those fifteen years on is to get some crude oil and start up a refinery.

Revolution / int_eef85d73	comment	People's Republic of Tyranny: The Monroe Republic is implied to be this, considering that their military force consists of militias who force their citizens to pay taxes with food. Given this throwback to feudalism, and with Monroe leading what appears to be nothing more than a military dictatorship, it's a republic in name only. We can only guess if any of the other "republics" are so in more than their names. Miles confirms as much in "The Song Remains The Same" when he tells Rachel that while the Monroe Republic having the power back on is a bad idea especially since they seem to have obtained a nuclear weapon, none of the other American successor states are any better (and Miles seems to think Texas is a good deal worse). Somewhat contra-indicated by the same episode, however — at the very least, the Georgia Federation is more competent (having evidently higher standards of living than the Monroe Republic).

Made a little funny when you realize that Aaron used to work for Google - makers of the Android smartphone OS. Not that it works, anyway. Maggie only carries the phone around for sentimental value. Monroe is notified that a visitor drove to see him in a "Cutlass Sierra". Admittedly the Cutlass Sierra was a 1982-1996 era Oldsmobile, but with it being 15 years after the apocalypse (and all cars - even the 2012 models - would have been rusted out), General Motors may have paid a little for a specific brand and make. Unless a Nostalgia Filter is involved, GM isn't exactly making the best use of its money: the Oldsmobile division was shut entirely in 2003. They'd be paying to market a brand that no longer exists. Depending on region, the car was marketed as a Cutlass "Ciera". Aaron uses a Raspberry Pi to reprogram Ben's nanite capsule to fix Rachel's compound fracture. In the Season 2 episode "Dreamcatcher," Aaron (during a nano-induced hallucination) watches a Bud Light ad. Not only that, he drinks one, and says, "Oh my God, that's good." There are also a few gratuitous shots of Simply Orange juice in the same episode.

It was one of the few diseases he didn't stock up on medication for, so he was forced to watch her slowly die without being able to truly help her. When Nora gets stabbed and the wound becomes infected, Miles is forced to take her to Drexel, a notorious heroin grower and sex trafficker. Why? Because he's the only person Miles knows of who has cultures of penicillium mold, the key ingredient of penicillin. In season two, the schoolteacher-turned-warlord Titus Andover has a wife with diabetes. Since medical-grade insulin is hard to come by, he opts for an alternative treatment: taking prisoners of war and draining their blood for transfusions. Needless to say, Titus's wife is rather distraught at knowing he's killing innocent people for her sake, and eventually commits suicide over it.

According to writer/producer/creator Eric Kripke, the cause of the blackout was revealed to a physicist who said it was plausible. Episode 7 ("The Children's Crusade") has started the slow process of revealing the cause of the blackout. Ben and Rachel, along with Grace Beaumont, were trying to develop a new form of clean power - only for it to wipe out all electricity in the general area. This was later revealed in episode 13 to be a bunch of nanobots that absorb electricity and replicate themselves. The Defense Department wanted to get their hands on it, naturally. And they still need to explain how they developed the pendant things to counteract their device...

However, we've only seen how the lower classes live; there may be currency in use by the elites. Medieval societies (and even pre-modern or modern societies experiencing an economic downturnnote including the United States during the Great Depression) often used this system, with barter for goods and services being the main form of exchange for the masses. But then, there have been several references to gold and diamonds being valuable commodities and presumably mediums of exchange. Supplementary canon material indicates the existence of "Militia Trade Dollars" at a rather hefty exchange rate to actual gold.
