This was a very predictable episode, taking it's cues right from
the playbook of 'bait and switch'. I knew from the get go that
Mia was working for Strausser and was purposely leading her
sister Nora away from Miles and the rest of the gang and that
she would some how end up with the pendant. Even though there
were no surprises with regards to the plot, I still found it
very enjoyable. The one thing that I really like is that Tom
Neville's wife played by Kim Raver is now pushing Tom to rise up
against Monroe and take over leadership. I've always though that
having an actor of Giancarlo Esposito playing just a foot
soldier was a waste of opportunity for the show. He is far more
charismatic and scarier than David Lyons who plays Monroe. This
line of leadership just never sat well with me.

This was a very cool episode and probably my favorite one so far
this season. When I saw the title of this episode, my immediate
reaction was 'Led Zeppelin'. But that's where it ended. Never in
a million years would I have guessed that not only was it about
their greatest song ever, but that they would somehow be able to
land the song and feature it in the episode. Zep is notorious
for not allowing their music to appear in movies, let along a TV
show. I loved how they used the song to frame Miles scene. Very,
very cool!
As for the story itself, it was very compelling and very
touching with the gang trapped in an underground subway tunnel,
losing air and hallucinating, which triggers things that they
think they are seeing. The scene with Charlie and her father was
very good.

Awesome episode! Now that's how to do it. I was pretty sure that
Miles was going to finally kill Monroe. I knew from the
beginning that with all the flashbacks of them as kids and
adults that their paths would cross at the end, culminating in a
fight to the death between the two. Well, it's just a fight. No
death. But I liked the way the episode ends when the gang
escapes only to stand face to face with a Helicopter about to
fire on them. I feel stupid for not figuring out where the
Militia Logo came from. FYI, it refers to Miles/Monroe. D'oh!!

You realize that it will be almost 4 months since the last new
episode aired? The show doesn't return until March 25, 2013.
How's that for tanking a show that had a lot of momentum during
it's initial run? I'm pretty sure that most people assume this
was canceled because there was no announcement that it was going
on such a long hiatus and there hasn't been any promos of its
return. THIS is not how to handle a show that you want to
survive.

I saw the ad last night for that. That's exactly what I thought.
First, I thought this was cancelled. Second... how many months?
Do they not learn from history? I would be surprised this
remained on the air. I just think that gap of time, people move
on.

I can easily say that most people will have moved on. They are
going to have to do some serious heavy promotion because this is
not how to keep a brand name alive. I can't believe these people
get paid the big bucks that they do.

Welcome back Revolution! Four and a half long ass months. Not
cool. So, was it worth the wait getting to start the second half
of season 1? Yup. They've changed the playing field by changing
the objective now. Killing off Danny wasn't shocking at all. I
saw it coming a mile away. They needed to give Charlie a goal
that was and is very personal. Sure, rescuing him was a goal in
itself, but it was motivated by revenge, which is something I
never saw in the character regarding the death of her father.
But with Danny getting mowed down in front of her own eyes, it
is ON now.
