Well, let me start off by saying that I figured 'Revolution' would end on some kind of cliffhanger, but I kind of hoped it wouldn't be one that intrigued me. This most likely being the series finale really bums me out because it went out on a bit of a high note. The final sequence at least really brought the nanite plot to an exciting peak, and they were already the most interesting thing about this show. The Patriots were interesting on-and-off, but I think their ultimate elimination in this episode was more satisfying than most of the other plots involving them.
Overall, season two was a big improvement over the first season, but it did still suffer occasional shoddy execution like one instance in this episode that really bothered me: Truman decides to eliminate all his compatriots (aside from President Davis) in an attempt to frame the protagonists. But he shoots them one by one, and they each just stand there for something like 15-twenty seconds, apparently just waiting for the next bullet to hit them. Perhaps something could explain this away, but it was just lazy, in my opinion. But other than that, it was a great episode. Miles giving Monroe another chance to prove himself, and Monroe taking this to heart. Neville successfully pitting Connor against his father, but ultimately both being outwitted by Monroe. The deception used on President Davis, made meaningful by General Blanchard's presence, was also great.
This show already grew so much in the span of one season, and I really believe that it could become even better were it given another shot. Perhaps a limited-run even, like 'Fringe' received and 'The Killing' is getting. Larga vida a 'Revolución'!
