Revolution Episode Recap: Welcome to Soul Train with Don Cornelius


Rachel is wondering how this is good news? They used to be good friends. Monroe already has her, she reasons, he should let Danny go. Seriously, he has, up to this point, proved himself to be nothing but a liability. Cut and run, I say. “I’ll tell you everything.”

Monroe respondes “I know you will. Do you know how I know? I’ll have your son here with me. I’ve given you a lot of chances to cooperate. I’m sorry it has to come to this.” I’m guessing Rachel will be sorry, too.

Back at the Train, Miles, Nora and Charlie are huddled together. They determine that the train will be leaving first thing tomorrow. Miles believes it is headed to Philadelphia…with Danny. They decide they need to look for Danny- but try to keep a low profile, so no crossbows, and Miles should leave his samurai sword at Hattori Hanzo’s place. Miles tells them “If you catch a whiff of Danny- come get me.”

Can’t you just leave me alone and let me play my Xbox?!!?

Danny is locked in a vault in a bank. Neville seems to be hitting the bottle- he starts to tell Danny of his life before the B.O. Danny, being the typical, annoying teenager says “Shut up. I’m sick of your weird stories and mind games. Now make me some chicken fingers!” Interestingly, Danny, who was beat up in the previous scene, doesn’t appear to have a mark on him. And no sign of his selective-asthma either.
Neville advises him to be very careful. Danny asks him “What? Are you going to hit me again? Does it make you feel tough beating up an 18 year old woman like me? What does that say about you?” Um… that he’s a dick? Not sure I’m following how Danny didn’t know that. Oh yeah, Danny is a moron, sorry, I forgot.

Flashback to the evening of the B.O. Neville arrives home and his redneck neighbors are drinking some PBRs on the porch (not that there’s anything wrong with it) and playing loud music. Neville asks them to keep the music down, it disturbs his son. They ignore him. Neville goes inside and his wife, as it turns out, is Kim Raver, aka Julia.

I am still under contract from Lipstick Jungle, so they stuck me on this shitshow

She asks how his day was. He got fired so he says “Good.” He decides to go “hit the bag” before dinner. So we see him in the basement beating up a heavy bag, in his work shirt.

His son, Jason, comes down the stairs and is watching him. His son looks suspiciously Latino….kind of how a young “Nate” might have looked. Hmmm. Neville notices him, and asks him if he wants to hit the bag?

This is where I get out all of my pent up rage and fury..

But then says “We only hit the bag. Never people.” Jason comes down and hits the bag and the power goes out.

Resistance code?  Hmmm,  they could have come up with something cooler

    Somebody blow up Charlie! She’s the biggest albatross that group of rebels has. I’m about to give up on watching this show, but I’ll still keep reading your recaps, MisRed.

    OMG, your recaps are one million times better than the actual show! I keep watching it… and I keep hoping it’s going to get better… BUT…

    I had high hopes for this show, thinking that in addition to the soapy drama, you’d get some of the interesting aspects of being without power for 15 years (or however long it’s been, duh, I already forgot). Not so much!

    Thanks for the recaps, though, they’re fantastic!

    @Rachel (3) – I’m in the minority with you. I don’t mind cheesy, as long as it’s entertaining. (I grew up watching Batman on TV – KaPow)

    Thank you guys, so much, for reading. :) I am not sure I would be watching this show if I wasn’t recapping it. Maybe. Probably. If one of the Real Housewives was playing a character, for sure! While I think some of the characters are dim and it’s a little predictable- I am enjoying it. There are worse ways to spend an hour. Well, 6 hours. I have to watch it, watch it again to get pictures, write the recap, resize the pix to fit and then post. :)

    And trust me, my husband is THRILLED that I’m watching something that has a script.
