Revolution "Soul Train" Review: On Track Then Back Off Track

Revolution did a few things this week that weren't terrible, but that doesn't mean it's worth watching yet.

Good episode

9.0

By danny7277, May 06, 2013

This was a fun action packed episode, I liked that revolution acknowledged that you can still have steam trains, I enjoyed getting Neville's backstory it may be abit of a lost ripoff but the flashback was affective, I also enjoyed seeing the characters interact with one another abit more, this was a pretty good episode overall

Best Episode So Far

9.0

By mmmshuddup, Dec 21, 2012

Except according to the "official" tv.com review and all the naysayers it wasn't good? That's bizarre. Anyway, this show is very promising and it keeps getting better as this episode is a perfect example of that!

Ignore the really exaggeratedly low reviews here and especially Tim Surette's reviews!

They give you some more info and setup the premise for getting power back

8.0

By JackinGa, Oct 19, 2012

I liked the show overall. I do have to admit that the inconsistencies do ruin parts of the show for me sometimes but it seems to be moving along now. We know about the pendants and how the US is divided up amongst the militias.. Overall I'll give it an 8 on this episode because: 1) What kind of idiot sticks his hand in a fire pit on a train? 2) I didn't believe the book printer would stab Nora.moreless

Phenomenal!

10

By amazing_race, Oct 18, 2012

I absolutely loved this episode! Perhaps it was just a slight bit worse than the last couple, but still definitely great enjough for me to score a 10.

Some great developments regarding Neville's past, and finally the identity of the mysterious guy is revealed! That was a revelation for sure!

Nice developments regarding the train! There were some intense moments for sure, and a very interesting plot to blow it up!

I just LOVED seeing that Hutch guy printing/reading a copy of Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, when Nora first went to meet him. That was epic!

I can't wait to see what is next! Can't believe we have to wait two whole weeks till the next ep! :(moreless

"This show sucks cuz blah blah blah" I've seen these same stupid complaints for The Walking Dead

10

By doctorwho747, Oct 17, 2012

"This show sucks cuz blah blah blah" How about you watch the show instead of just looking at it with a pen and paper ready to write down every B***h and nitpick.? Plus you all already made these same exact complaints on The Walking DeadI have seen alot of people saying they downright hate this show, but if you really look at these comments you will notice two things. 1. All of the, have at least one or more of these "reasons" why the show is so terrible. and 2. ALL of these b***g and nitpicks you will find on negative reviews of The Walking Dead 1. the power going out doesn't make sense it sucks. 2. They have clean clothes and are clean themselves that doesn't make sense.it sucks 3. Charlie is annoying.it sucks 4. They do stupid things 5.Nothing is happening the show is going nowhere it sucks. Ok first i just want to say how about somebody write a real reason why they think the show is bad instead of nitpicking? Ok for 1, it's Science friggin FICTION! It doesn't have to make sense it's a show it's FICTION and the way tv shows work is eventually you find out how and why it happened. 2. OK so in 15 years you really don't think human beings could figure out how clean themselves on a planet that the majority is water? Or learn to sew? Clothes can be kept a long time and they didn't just disappear so why do you think we'd end up in loin clothes again? 3. Whether you think it's the actress, who is young and like many actors need several episodes befoe they become comfortable with their roles. Or the character try living in a closed off area of the world most of your life, thinking your mother is dead most of your, see your father die, have your brother kidnapped, have to ask for help from an uncle who is a stranger and doesn't give a S*** about anything, and have your stepmother also die in front of you. Have all of that happen to you and than tell me that you would be cool, you wouldn' make any mistakes or be naieve, And if you say you could be that your full of it. which leads into 4. Guess what? people are and can be stupid, make bad judgements, be niaeve, and not always do the best and right thing by making these things called mistakes. But if you think that in a post apocalyptic world you would also do everything right, you and the people your with would always get along, never have arguments over anything or F***s up well than you can keep on living in that dreamworld. And last 5. It's been FIVE episodes!, tell me what show, especially serialized ones give answers or reveal huge secrets or have huge story arcs begin and finish? NONE actually for a show serialized in the way this show is they have told us quite alot but FIVE episodes the story arcs that have started have done just that, STARTED! OK i'm gonna say it, if you don't like the show, which is perfectly fine everyone has a right to an opinion, but why are you watching? If you don't like the show and want to express that by writing a comment about it that's fine but writing the same negative comments using different words? And if you don't like it again fine, but going online and insulting those that do like it? Do you have nothing better to do than to watch a show for the sake of insulting it, the fans, and to bring down the ratings? So yeah now i'm saying that no matter what different words you use or how you insult someone makes you a HATERmoreless
