REVOLUTION IS BACK! If you were to ask me months ago if I was excited for this day, I’d say “absolutely.” It was unique, action packed and the only drama on television that actually hooked me in. However, since the four months since the AWFUL mid-season cliffhangar, I’ve decided to watch more captivating television while the show had its time off. Safe to say; I’m way more captivated in The Following than I am. But alas, Revolution is back and ready to captivate, confuse, and continue on until its season finale. So how was the return episode? Weird. [Read more...]

11/26/2012 by Leave a Comment
Here we are again, another week, another episode of Revolution. The difference this week is that we have reached the halfway mark with the season – meaning that we won’t have these little episodic pieces until 2013 sometime (or Fall of 2013 or whenever NBC damn well schedules things). So what are we in for this episode? Well if you’ve seen the previews, then you know the ending – but what about everything else? [Read more...]
TV Recap: Revolution 109 “Kashmir”
11/20/2012 by Leave a Comment
Including this week, Revolution only has two more episodes left until its Fall Break. That means, in these last two episodes, some big things need to happen. And what bigger way to soundtrack the second to last episode until the mid-season break than Led Zeppelin! Let’s just see how epic Revolution can be when it’s backed by “Kashmir.” See what I did there…? [Read more...]
TV Recap: Revolution 107 “The Children’s Crusade”

We are six episodes deep, and the characters of Revolution have yet to figure out what has caused the blackout. We have yet to figure out what happened to Grace…but that’s besides the point. With a giant add campaign this past week featuring some of the lights coming back on and A LOT of backstory that looks to come out, it feels like the show might be jumping the shark tonight. Will it happen? We’ll let’s find out, shall we? [Read more...]
TV Recap: Revolution 106 “Sex And Drugs”

If you missed last weeks epsidoe – good news! There wasn’t one, as the show took its first mini-hiatus of the season. And hopefully, taking this week off will be the best thing the show could have done, as they can fix and tweak some things to make Revolution a real winner. And now that the show was Entertainment Weekly’s “Must” of this week, maybe this new episode will deliver where the show has been lacking.
Let’s get this going. [Read more...]

TV Recap: Revolution 104 “The Plague Dogs”

Revolution is starting not to settle well with me, as the show is going nowhere incredibly slowly. Now that it’s been picked up for a full season, the show needs to pick up quickly to keep my interest for a full season. So where does 104 go? Let’s watch and find out. [Read more...]

10/01/2012 by 1 Comment
The last we saw everyone in Revolution, they were doing many things. Really, there’s about five different stories going on right now, and none of them are really tying together yet. But that was then, and episode 103 is now. Will Charlie finally get over her internal guilt of killing people? Will her love interest Nate (or whatever his name is) get out of his cuffs and do finally pick a side? Will Danny get more than one line this time around? Well let’s get into it… [Read more...]

TV Recap: Revolution 101 “Pilot”
09/17/2012 by 2 Comments
NBC’s Revolution asks the question “What would you do if the power went out forever.” That premise, although it seems incredibly ludicrous, has some legitimate weight to it. I would have no idea what to do when something like this happens – I’d probably just crawl in a corner with my laptop. But anyways, this isn’t about me – it’s about the characters in this futuristic action drama. Let’s get this started. [Read more...]
HST’s Best of 2011: Television
01/04/2012 by Leave a Comment
With so much of my (Lauren’s) personality constructed by Television, from PBS shows of my childhood to everything Joss Whedon that influenced my sense of humor and sarcasm, it’s no surprise that every year I get pretty excited for the pilots making their attempt to gain viewers. Not only that, but sometimes I go crazy fanatic for those shows I have come to love for seasons and seasons. Chuck is only a half season!? Community is getting shelved!? NNNOOO!!!! Good thing there are some great new shows that helped these irritated wounds sting a little less. [Read more...]
