'Revolution' ratings surge

Not sure, exactly. But this is definitely good news for the post-apocalyptic drama. Revolution delivered 8.8 million viewers and a 3.4 rating, reversing its gradual downward-ebbing trend. That’s up 13 percent from last week and marks a three-week high for the show.

Revolutions‘s powerful lead-in The Voice (12.8 million, 4.6) was perfectly steady with last week’s rating, so that didn’t boost it. Both of Revolution‘s 10 p.m. rivals — CBS’ Hawaii Five-0 (8.4 million, 2.0), up 5 percent, and ABC’s Castle (10.9 million, 2.0), down 9 percent — aired original episodes, so there wasn’t softer competition last night. In fact, you could say there was more competition since Fox (which normally doesn’t program 10 p.m.) had baseball playoffs going late into primetime. So can we credit Revolution itself for this gain then? “I don’t know of any artificial reason for the increase, looks legitimate to me,” one network ratings analyst emailed.

Revolution was a big swing that many us thought would open to a sizable number, but we worried whether the J.J. Abrams-produced drama could sustain itself given the track record in recent years of other serialized high-concept sci-fi shows like The Event, Alcatraz, FlashForward and V. Revolution does, however, have one very important thing going for it: It’s better than those shows. Wondering, long shot, but … could the massive ratings enjoyed by AMC’s post-apocalyptic The Walking Dead premiere Sunday night put some viewers into the mood to check out Revolution?

I guess I don't see it. I don't know how this can be loved but Awake can get cancelled. My world doesn't make sense.

I like it still but they really need to get a move on with the story..they're already taking a break and coming back with a filler episode.

It was a big mistake to have the mom give away the secrets so soon.

**Hatedregret** · 2012-10-16 21:25

You mention they need to move on with the story and talk about them doing so being bad back to back lol. They mentioned they have zero problem having the reason why it went black told before the end of season 1 in an interview though. I'm sure they have bigger fish hidden for later.

"You should look for clues everywhere," Kripke teases. "There was a phenomenon that we have up our sleeves as to what caused the blackout. What you see in that globe shot [of the blackout creeping across the Earth] is an accurate representation of what we're working on. Currently, in the writers room, we're talking dangerously about revealing that secret before the end of the first season."

This girl is fucking retarded.

**Sonomaa** · 2012-10-17 19:03

miles sounds like bruce greenwood, I could listen to him talk for days

**Buffy** · 2012-10-17 20:39

I thought the girl was going to be the main focus of the show, but Miles is CLEARLY carrying the series so far. I'm eager for more, and would really love a series to explore series combat and strategy in episodes. Not just snippets, but planned battles and diplomacy. There has never been a series that has tried to exploit that, to my recollection.

**kuronosan** · 2012-10-17 20:42

So far all Charlie knows how to do is cry and scream and fuck things up.

**Insanecyclone** · 2012-10-17 20:53

I hate looking at her. If Miles dies due to her stupidity then I'm done.

For real. I was watching the last episode with my sister and my brother in law, and commented something like, "Oh god, this bitch is still being a cunt about everything possible." My sister basically then tried to tell me she was a strong and realistic female character. I told her of course she is, thats why she is behaving like such a cunt.

**6souls** · 2012-10-29 21:52

so will it be every time that a flashback happens in a episode, the subject of the flashback dies?

**Insanecyclone** · 2012-10-29 21:54

Oh never mind

**Insanecyclone** · 2012-10-29 22:00

Next week will answer the blackout question, possibly partial, next week.

**kuronosan** · 2012-10-30 12:00
