JJ Abrams ''Revolution'' (NBC)

I bet Hollywood will start remaking tv shows and movies from the 30-60s soon, they really have run out of ideas.

Every show is a rehash of the previous three that failed, expect swashbuckling pirate stories and chandelier swinging to make a huge comeback soon. :)
 
I also reckon the television market is catered to americans. They are obsessed with health/medical and law shows. You would swear they are all hypochondriacs and outlaws.

Point being all the interesting shows that are not of this mould dont get $10 0000 00000 0000 funding. I mean more could have been done with Jericho. Revolution and falling skies reminded me of Jericho. Skeet Ulrich wasnt that bad considering what he was working with.
 
Oh I figured it out already... the only thing that would turn off all the electricity and circuits like that would be an electromagnetic pulse. So basically what has happened is they have some device that is permanently sending out this pulse.


So they have to go to an island and turn this wheel so.... wait, hang on....

I stop myself from liking new shows, the stuff I like gets cancelled mid season never mind after a full one these days, so I HATE Game of Thrones, I really, really hate it. :)

Shhh you'll spoil the ending that was obvious in the first episode ;)
 
This looks like a great show but why the hell do they have to give away the whole series in one clip!!!!

Maybe they know it won't last and want to give the fans some closure before it even starts.

Maybe. The start of the clip was great made it look like a must watch but it ended unrealistically with the uncle fighting swords like in the movie Equilibrium. Writers these days have to much say if a movie goes to the crapper. That is what makes G.O.T. so great the writers can't mess it it up.

Swords are fun!

A plane just falls out of the sky and you go after sword fighting saying it is unrealistic? :p

Yeah with GoT you know they have to stick to the books to a degree, the small changes thus far was acceptable and it is made up for every time Tyrion slaps the little (expletive removed) of a king. :)
 
It looks absolutely amazing. Don't think it's going to last though, but the season will be pretty cool I reckon.

Ye I agree... the action in Falling skies is what has kept it alive.

IF they have fighting like that its going to be awesome.

We will have to wait and see if the characters have any depth(breaking bad for instance, or even lost), because without that it'll be cancelled at the end of the first season.

Lost had characters we cared about, and that's why we loved it.

On a side note, i'm so glad Giancarlo Esposito is getting a major role again. Hopefully the writing can match his brilliance, because his work in breaking bad was some of the best character stuff i have seen in years. Seeing the role he got in once upon a time was quite saddening.

This dude is epic.He single handedly stole the show from Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad.
 
I wonder if JJ gets the message.

"My shows are the most awesome'est things around. They are so cool and fresh, just can figure out why so few get to a second season.I wonder what it could be?"

In his mind they the greatest things ever! Something must be wrong with everyone else.
