Nikita: "Crossbow" Episode Review

( I've been running from Division for five years. Running and running and running while Percy gets stronger. I am not running anymore! )

The fact this show is getting a third season makes me so happy, like you don't even know. This rarely happens with many of my shows that are of this amazing quality yet aren't reeling in the big ratings. So it's a huge blessing.

Revolution

( The trailer for 'Revolution', the new NBC series from J.J. Abrams )

Honestly, while everyone else is freaking out about this, I'm just not really feeling it.

Which is odd because I love me some post-apocalyptic stories of humanity's struggle from some kind of downfall involving technology or some similar kind of catastrophe. Everything from Battlestar Galactica, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Falling Skies, Dollhouse and Dark Angel, hell even Firefly where humanity is spread out amongst different planets, just surviving with what they got. I like these kinds of stories, whether it be from an invasion of robotic or alien races or just the human race destroying itself with overusing and abusing technology landing us in a dystopian future. But while the concept of Revolution sounds interesting, from the trailer it doesn't look appealing to me at all. Perhaps it's the way it was edited, since there are scenes in there that rather silly and corny and the dialogue is not really good (it's being written by Eric Kripke, so that might be why, since I'm not a fan of his.) It just seems too unrealistic and convoluted, tbqh. I don't know. But, who knows right? It might turn out to actually be good once it gets going. But by first impressions of this trailer, I'm just not that interested.

(Plus I lol'd when they used "Touched" at the end of the trailer, I'm just like what is this? I'm having flashbacks to 1999 in promotion for Angel, lololol)
