Revolution looks good.
That other one, I will probably not watch.
I'd have to agree those two do look promising. The writing over time will be the key as the casts look good.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
And then there's these three shows ABC is also putting out... all look like Mot poop.

Looks like a weird combination of The Hunger Games, The Postman and Book of Eli. Might be good.
This is an interesting idea but I don't see how there's enough "story" there to make an entire TV show out if it. Looks more like it would've been a good movie. Doesn't seem like they could hide on that island and just keep dragging it out indefinitely. Almost like a serious, modern-day version of "The Mouse that Roared" I suppose. |

Have to agree with Lothic on The Last Resort. Seems more mini series/movie than series to me.

From What I read... Resort is aiming more for a Lord of the Flies feel.. at least to start... I will definitely watch.. I'm curious how well the "rogue military" angle will be recieved.. could bwe great or could crash and burn.

My main concern is that it just doesn't seem like a rogue ballistic sub could hope to "camp out" at an island forever while holding the world hostage with its nukes without somebody, somewhere coming up with some kind of sneaky Seal Team Six plan to move in and disable the sub in some way to remove the threat. It'd be a sitting duck anywhere it wasn't constantly submerged somewhere.
Like I implied this seems like an interesting plot scenario for a good movie or mini-series. But how many -seasons- of a TV show could they keep that kind of standoff going without the rest of the world reacting to take them out. One ballistic sub could do a lot of damage if it went rogue, but it couldn't take out the ENTIRE world by itself unless they come up with some kind of campy "doomsday machine" twist (like The Mouse That Roared) that would allow them to actually hold off everyone.

The Neighbours appears to be interesting. Not many shows with peace loving aliens trying to get along with humans and no hostile aliens trying to kill humans and the peace loving aliens.
The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.
I can explain what happened in Revolution right now..

...please, somebody just say "call me Snake" out of context. Just the once. :P
By the way,not excited about CBS' Elementary - a freshly cleaned up super-detective called "Sherlock Holmes" practicing from NYC in an exciting modern take on the Conan Doyle novels...
Haven't we heard something like that somewhere before just recently? *ponders*
However, I have my own children/tween show version of the genre to launch, in which Sherlock Holmes,Wetland Detective, solves dangerous crimes in the Hundred Acre Wood.
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?

I like Billy Burke.
I like Andre Braugher.
I'll definitely give both of these a few episodes to win me over.
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!
With Lucy Liu as Watson it may turn out more like Sherlock and Kato.
Revolution smells a lot like Flashforward (the way ABC did it, not the original novel) with the whole conspiracy take on the world wide suppression of electricity beyond neural levels.
The Last Resort also comes across as yet another conspiracy series. So you have the sub crew on the island, their families back home and the nefarious bad guys who want to nuke Pakistan. I'm guessing the original plan was to say that sub went rogue anyways and that's why Pakistan got glassed but the Navy was too late to prevent it.

Also, some actual Sherlock news: Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss et al are currently working on new scripts between awards ceremonies and extended lunches, and production will start in Spring 2013.
