When the World Lost Power: A Look at the Pilot for NBC’s “Revolution” - by Tony Rossi

“We need water! Fill the sinks and tubs. We don’t have much time…It’s all going to turn off, and it’s never going to turn back on!”

The “it” to which Chicago resident Ben Matheson (Tim Guinee) refers in those lines is power: not just a loss of electricity that keeps the lights from working, but power in general. Car batteries die, water supply systems stop working, planes fall out of the sky. In an instant, the luxuries and necessities the world has become used to disappear, returning everyone to the days of “Little House on the Prairie” by way of “The Hunger Games.”
