Criticizing for poor plot is not over-analyzing. Hopefully it will find its groove. The concept is interesting, the next four or five weeks will tell us if the concept translates into enjoyable entertainment.
Certainly throws a lot of dead bodies around. Lots of "blood" gushing sounds.
It kind of reminds of of FlashForward in (2009/10). Everyone passes out, but wakes up seeing themselves in the future and then search for how it happened. With of course a group of folks that seem to be behind it.
Here everyone "wakes up", with no power, and now the search for how it happened. Again, with a group of folks that seem to be behind it and even have access to electricity.

Hey the anvil squashed the Coyote on the Bugs Bunny Roadrunner hourNo one questions how he survived...
LOL! That's a good one!
I gave it a timer, I'm enjoying it so far...
I gave up. It began to feel like another LOST. I gave up on that one too. I gave it two chances, but not a third.
Not even a Lost, Lost had great acting and plots (at least for the first few seasons).
This show though, keeps making me think cheap hunger games imitation.
Maybe if they took the focus off the teens, and put more on the adults it might get better.

This show is too funny...most people dislike it, yet 11M people are watching it and feel compelled to voice their displeasure in this thread. To be honest, besides the showing being entertainment challenged, I think we're taking out our frustrations on having shows like Jericho, Flashfoward, Invasion, Firefly, etc. yanked off the air...which were 1000x better than Revolting...er, I mean Revolution.
Me? I'm still watching...mostly because I like the premise behind the show and somehow hoping that it will improve.

I think you are right Jim. We are simply tired of great premises on Sci-Fi shows that then get cancelled way to soon. This show however is a real turkey of a show . I gave it one shot and it failed to interest me for the reasons I've already stated. I simply don't have time to waste on this kind of show any more. IF it had ANY basis in a possible reality , I might give it more time, but it is simply more of a teen drama on a sci -fi backdrop. I really don't want more teen drama as I've outgrown that stuff over 40 years ago.
If we were as tough on the first season of ST:TNG or Stargate-SG1 as I've been seeing in this thread re:Revolution, no sci-fi show would ever make it past it's first season. It takes time for the characters to develop, for the story to begin to play out, for elements of the story to develop and be seen on-screen. If they threw it all at you in a 2-series premiere, they may as well make a 2.5 hour movie out of it and be done with it all.
It's a story, told in one hour segments over the course of however many weeks NBC will give it before they axe it. Over-analyzing it and beating it to death with criticism won't help it get more than 13 episodes to tell the story and actually become a better show.
That being said, the fact that the second episode had 3 producers and no less than 6 co-executive producers tells me that the show is rather management top-heavy...

not really, as none of those shows tried to be a "teen" show. That's one of the worst parts about Revolution is the wannabe teen huger games type show.
Take the focus off the girl (better yet, get rid of her) and it might have a chance.
Awesome. Kill the chick. And find a way to have Elizabeth Mitchell as more than a memory, and it would work
I don't think anyone is over-analyzing; just commenting that the first couple episodes did not live up to expectations, for me at least. Well, actually since it was NBC, it met my expectations.

You want to kill off Charlie????????

Not really, was having fun.
But I realized that I did not even KNOW her name after two episodes. That does not bode well.

LOL! Yeah, that'd help it. I think that the scene at the end of episode 2 with Mitchell wasn't a flashback...I think that was present-time.
Plenty of good show on the past two nights to discuss (Fringe, Blue Bloods, Person of Interest, Criminal Minds, Elementary, CSI:NY, etc.).
