Abrams next TV show - "Revolution"

I don't like watching first run TV shows on my computer or portable device. I want to see it in my living room on the 42" LCD and enjoy it that way. That's how we consume most of our visual media in my house.

I just never got around to it!  LOL!

Just watched this at lunch.  Really liked it!  I'll keep watching for sure.  Al I can't believe you didn't get a Hunger Games vibe from the hot brunette teenage girl tear-assing around the woods with a crossbow, but I sure did.  I agree with most of the commentary here and think X has some really good theories, but I will add one more minor quibble...What's with all the headbutting?  I never understood why the headbutt is such a popular offensive technique in action films.  It has to hurt the giver almost as much as the receiver!  Concussion please?

Lol I forget not everyone is like me and have Hulu on their big screen TV via a home theater PC! To me Internet and TV are the same thing :)

Exactly, in fact the vast majority of people are like me and that's why whoever can solve for a satisfactory web browswer experience on a home TV will have a major product on their hands. I have hope that Apple may have solved for that.

XBMC plugin for me so I don't have to suffer those commercials!

That's a great point and in a way kind of what I was saying myself.  It's that little "hiccup" moment when watching something and you say, "come on - really?!?"

But I think this is going to be kind of like Lost where you HAVE to suspend belief. I mean, the moment something unseen happened where ALL the power in the world went out, this show stopped being a typical main-stream drama. One of Rick's questions was about the inhaler. Yeah, I understand that Rick. Joyce has asthma and inhalers do NOT last 15 years. Even with refridgeration. I absolutely DOUBT the writers didn't take that into account. Think about it: they made a POINT of making sure we all saw that this woman had an inhaler for the boy to use. WHY??? This is from JJ Abrams, Bryan Burke and look who directed it: John Favreau. I seriously doubt that wasn't taken into consideration, so instead of saying BOINK on it, I ask why did they do that? There HAS to be a reason that ties in with the whole story sometime later. How about the series 24? I know a LOT of people LOVED that series. "Grounded in reality" right? So answer this: how the HECK could THAT much happen in 24 hours? Unless you suspend reality, that show is quite out there, right?
I truly think that this show is going to bend genre just like Lost did. If you read X's spoiler comments they really put an interesting light on the questions everyone has. And like Joby said, for the most part when watching the stuff WE all like, you really have to remove the "could this happen or not happen" and see it for what it is: entertainment! :) I really look forward to where the crew is going to take this show. Hopefully, NBC doesn't fail! :)

It's not really that big a thing.  I will still be watching for now.  And I think Al you mean the term "suspend disbelief."  To suspend belief would have the opposite effect of believing what you are being told.  :)

I really like my Roku box, it does 1080p and with Hulu plus, Amazon Instant Video and Netflix, I didn't have to pay Comast for a new box and outlet.

I think the show is fun and I will keep watching. NBC and sci-fi don't always get along.

[Rico]

Yeah, that is the truth about NBC and fantasy/SF.  Did you guys notice who the actor was playing the Monroe character?  David Lyons (last series NBC's "The Cape")  :)

Uh, yeah. I was...ah, testing you, yeah, that's right....:)

Yup. And the evil second in command is from Once Upon A Time.

Actually I know him much better as Gus from "Breaking Bad."

especially when he was wearing those round sunglasses in that one scene. He's a good actor and all but Gus Fring is almost indelibly imprinted on my brain...we'll just have to see
