    ** Officall NBC's Walking Dead Ripoff "Revolution" Discussion Thread**

    First episode was pretty good. Firing up the second ep now.

    mRobot, what's your take?

    obv not as good as Walking Dead, but it could be worse for a show that airs on Monday night

    also main hottie looks like a gringo jessica alba, and her uncle is the dad from twilight so that lends additional credibility

    It reminded me of the movie "The Road" but not as much carnage. I usually will not watch any new t.v. shows, but this caught my eye and decided to watch the first few episodes. The sad part is that it is on NBC and likely will be cancelled after the first season just when the story and characters get really interesting.

    Not a "Walking Dead" ripoff, since there are no "Walkers".

    More of a "Hunger Games" ripoff.


    Honestly, I really don't like "Revolution" because it takes a more comical approach to
    a potentially real doomsday scenario.

    A "Super-EMP" weapon would destroy almost all of the power infrastructure in this country.

    A low-yield nuclear weapon detonated about 300 miles above Nebraska would wipe out most
    of the electronics, computers, TV's, cars, etc. in the continental U.S.

    Super-EMP weapons are currently being test by North Korea, China, Russia and the U.S.


    The first 24 – 48 hours after such an occurrence will lead to confusion among the general population as traditional news acquisition sources like television, radio and cell phone networks will be non-functional.

    Within a matter of days, once people realize the power might not be coming back on and grocery store shelves start emptying, the entire system will begin to delve into chaos.

    Within 30 days a mass die off will have begun as food supplies dwindle, looters and gangs turn to violent extremes, medicine can’t be restocked and water pump stations fail.

    Within a year of the attack, nine out of 10 Americans would be dead.

    So go learn how to use a bow and arrow.
