334th New Thing - Watched Revolution

We watched the new series on NBC called Revolution tonight with Billy Burke. Our entire way of life depends on electricity, so what would happen if it just stopped working? Revolution is a sci-fi show about a family living in a post apocalyptic world. In this epic adventure from J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions and "Supernatural's" Eric Kripke, a family struggles to reunite in an American landscape where every single piece of technology - computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights - has mysteriously blacked out forever. 15 years later, life is back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution: families living in quiet cul-de-sacs, and when the sun goes down lanterns and candles are lit. On the fringes of small farming communities, danger lurks. And a young woman's life is dramatically changed when a local militia arrives and kills her father, who mysteriously - and unbeknownst to her - had something to do with the blackout. This brutal encounter sets her and two unlikely companions off on a daring coming-of-age journey to find answers about the past in the hopes of reclaiming the future. She must reconnect with her estranged uncle, a former U.S. Marine living a reclusive life. Together, with a rogue band of survivors, they set out to rescue her brother, overthrow the militia and ultimately re-establish the United States of America. All the while, they explore the enduring mystery of why the power failed, and if - or how - it will ever return. A drama with sweeping scope and intimate focus, Revolution is about family - both the family you're born into and the family you choose. This is a swashbuckling journey of hope and rebirth seen through the eyes of one strong-willed young woman and her brother. It was an interesting pilot with mysteries and answers to come in future episodes. I liked the 1st episode and would like to watch a few more for now.
