Too bad it isn’t Zeptember or Rocktober…

 

Whoohoo! It’s the Led Zeppelin episode.  Personally, I don’t really care.  When I wanna get the Led out, I just turn on my ipod, but ok, clearly NBC has shelled out some change to the band so they want to milk it.

The episode opens at the West Chester Rebel Camp- 20 miles outside of Philly.  

Let’s round up Johnny Knoxville and Wee Man and do some damage

I fully expect to see Bam Margera skateboarding through the scene or farting in the face of Aaron, but nope… he’s not there.  Nora is explaining their situation to a random Rebel dude while Miles gets beaten.  

Look, I love your cute titles but can we just get this beating underway?  I’ve got places to be. 

Miles is introduced to Colonel Starkey and Sergeant Someone- Wrigley, maybe?  It doesn’t really matter right?  Odds are both of these guys won’t live through the episode.  So, let’s just call them Rebel Leaders or “RLs” for short.  Miles thinks it is cute the rebels use Military titles.   The RLs want to know why they should just kill Miles.  Miles tells them that he can give them Monroe’s head on a platter- the RLs are confused, and Miles explains that Monroe has Miles’s nephew- Triple D (Dumb Dumb Danny) and he needs the RL’s help.   The RLs are still a little unclear how Miles can give them Monroe.  Hey, I didn’t say these guys are smart.  Miles tells them that he knows EVERYTHING about Monroe and why on earth would they pass up a chance to get Monroe?  So the RLs decide to help Miles and the Misfits.  Sheesh, talk about taking the long way around.

On this episode of Moonshiners:  Tickle gets drunk

That evening in the camp, Miles is drinking some “shine,” and Charlie advises him he should take it easy, he’s got a big day tomorrow.  Miles is like “I’ve got my country’s 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder and Guilder to frame for it; I’m swamped.”  

Oh wait, wrong fantasy…  Miles just wants to tie one last one on before, probably dying tomorrow.  Seriously, the only thing worse than dying, is dying with a hangover.  Charlie is confident Miles will figure it out.  Miles wonders aloud “What if I have to go face to face with Monroe?”    Well, I guess you are gonna have to put on your big girl panties and get ‘er done.

The Misfits and various and assorted Rebels (seriously, it’s like a Rebel Pu-Pu Platter), head into an old subway tunnel.  

Yeah, we don’t want to take the local…

    This show is becoming too contrived and tedious. I think I’d be better off to just read your recaps and skip actually watching. “Lost” it ain’t.

    Still loving your recaps. And the Princess Bride references will never get old! A question for your readers – if the pendant is only good for a few feet, how did it power up the lighthouse? Or am I just really missing something here…

    Thanks for the comments. MisRed feels the love!! Aaron was in the lighthouse when it lit up, so I assume the mechanism for lighting it was within the 8 to 10 ft range.

    Either that or the writers are morons. Take you pick. :)

    I really don’t know what to think about this show! It started out fun and intriguing, in an easy to watch kind of way. I liked that questions got answered and fun twists introduced, say early on, and not season 5. But now, it’s definitely getting a little too gimicky for me and I find myself not caring if I miss it. I guess while I’m watching it, I’m mildly interested, but nothing keeps me on my toes for the next episode.

    My husband made an interesting point during the first episode. He was like, wait– they just skipped over all those years of the most interesting stuff. I.E. what happened immediately after the blackout. I kind of agree. We get tidbits of it, but I think the show could have had a lot more to work with if it didn’t try so hard to jump back and forth between right after and present.

    And I want to like Charlie, but is it in her contract that she must cry after every scene of dialogue?!

    I enjoy this show. Thanks for the great recap!

    The pendant clearly has some kind of range – will they have to carry it in the helicopter? , since the lady on the farm with the computer in her attic used her pendant to power her computer from time to time. The 8-10ft could have been a lie since Rachel was trying to justify her \amplifier\.
