With all the bitching I've heard about Revolution I expected it to be utter crap, but it really wasn't that bad. Sure it some silliness to it, like batteries dying right away. But that's not anything new, tv shows and movies constantly misrepresent and over simplify science and technology. I'd say that the show certainly isn't groundbreaking in any way, it has the potential to be a decent show, and I can certainly think of far worse shows to waste an hour on.
