After watching 4 episodes of this bull****... I can only say that's what it is. For one and most importantly, characters are ****ing ******ed! No one acts like a normal human being would, they would've gotten the brother back if no one was so idiotic. No ones motives make really any sense etc.
And other thing that bugs me is that how can humans even be alive when everything electronic has stopped? Like electricity just vanished.
"Without electricity , you wouldn't be reading this article right now. And it's not because your computer wouldn't work. It's because your brain wouldn't work.
Everything we do is controlled and enabled by electrical signals running through our bodies. As we learned in intro physics, everything is made up of atoms , and atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have a neutral charge, and electrons have a negative charge. When these charges are out of balance, an atom becomes either positively or negatively charged. The switch between one type of charge and the other allows electrons to flow from one atom to another. This flow of electrons, or a negative charge, is what we call electricity. Since our bodies are huge masses of atoms, we can generate electricity" -by Julia Layton
So, if electricity stopped, we would die. So this gives us a chance to think that maybe electricity hasn't completely vanished in Revolution. It has already been established in the series that power can be brought back with the pendants(which i'll talk later about). But, why can't they harness the electrical power with solar energy for example? Wind? Water? What did humans use about 100 years ago when electricity started becoming common? I'm not any kind of expert in these things, but I think humans nowadays know how to generate electricity without, you know, having electricity, like 100 years ago. I highly doubt earth would become this dystopia if power went down. Of course it would set us back some years, but governments falling, no solution to anything, just start living like in stone age. That could never happen.
But if none of these things actually are possible, like every single tiny bit of power that runs through the ground and living being just goes away, then every living being would be dead.
Yeah, I know that it's just a TV show, but it just bugs me so much and this major plot hole just makes the stupidity of characters just more apparent.
And about the pendants, the damn pendants. The black lady used the pendant to power up her computer... ok, sure. How in the hell does the electricity run through underground lines for miles to wherever the other person is, when it's clear that the pendants range isn't that big?
And why the hell do the villains use muskets!? WTF!?!? They can't make bullets without electricity so they go back to some 18th century weaponry? This is where I just gave up. Sure, they probably couldn't make bullets for some newer weapons, but how about going to some old revolver and rifles? Much faster to reload, higher accuracy and everything is just better, and they could make bullets for them because people also did before knowledge of harnessing that electricity to use in daily lives.
Setting is interesting and vistas beautifully done, but plot holes are just massive and characters are annoying, stupid, generic and cliched and no one is relatable. They clearly didn't think almost nothing through when writing this piece of ****. Nothing is realistic even in its own universe and it just contradicts itself without explaining why these things are the way they are.
