Review of Revolution

Revolution (2012–2014)
2/10
Plothole ridden garbage
3 October 2012
Warning: Spoilers
I seriously have no idea how this managed to get a 6. I'll admit that I am still watching it, because it's only on the 3rd episode and I'm trying to give it a chance to redeem itself or to explain the plot holes, but so far nothing. There is a difference between fiction and science fiction. Fiction doesn't can be any old crap that doesn't really have to back itself up. Science fiction, like say Star Trek, is usually based on theoretical science, they have set rules and boundaries. If we were to be able to travel into space at warp 8, the thought process as to how that would be possible is very accurate. Here's a list of everything that bothers me so far:

-Everything died at once, including batteries, why? -They're on farmland, why don't they just make potato batteries? -If they can't make potato batteries and nothing holds a charge, why doesn't the human heart stop beating? -If bullets are so precious and rare, why shoot a guy they had in custody after a long speech about said rarity of bullets? -In the very next scene, why do they pepper the crap out of the rebel base with bullets if they are so damn rare?? -Why don't they use mountain bikes? -Why are their clothes so perfect after 15 years? They don't look hand sewn at all.

This show is OK at best, really reaching for it, if it's just a show. As a science fiction show? It's just beyond idiocy. It may as well just say that the electricity went off due to magic. A wizard did it. Because there is 0 science involved in any of this, and the glaring errors are just too distracting for anyone with half a brain to enjoy this show.
