Re: Revolution (NBC, Sept 17) Ted Turner would beg to differ. He has the largest buffalo ranch in the USA.
Theres plenty of Buffalo, heck, there more then enough white tail deer.
So if people didn't have buffalo to hunt, they'd hunt deer.
Failing that they could always breed rabbits and rats. I just finished a book that took place after the world ended. One group of survivors released they were running outta food, and they knew rats breed fast, require little effort. So they caught some wild rats, bred them for a couple of generations [to clean them up, wild rats have a load of pests]. Then they started harvesting and grinding the rats up into rat patties.
They would have used rabbits, but compared to rats, rabbits have a limited specific food requirement. Where as rats seem to thrive off of what ever we humans throw away.

I happy that NBC is airing repeats of the show on Saturday. I think that has helped the show. As Saturday is typically a dead day for programming. |

Just cause he couldn't protect her didn't mean he had to leave.

I think he felt like a loser and probably just kept beting himself up with the fact he couldn't do anything. Probably felt it was better for her (and the group) if he left. That's how I see it. Why he didn't try to learn or train from another guy, idk.
While he really bugged me the first few episodes, I find myself liking him more and more. He is growing a spine. And he is making some amusing remarks such as the comment about a pack of hairless ewoks.

| Last night's episode provided some more background on what happened. So it is some sort of device that sucks up or interferes with power.
We know who Randall is now. From the first encounter with him (back when he came for Grace, I thought he would be a big guy (like Jason from the Friday the 13th movies) the way he bashed in the door. I wonder who he works for now and where he and Grace are.

He left his wife for no reason. I still don't get his logic. Why risk being by yourself (you cant protect yourself either) instead of in a protected group of people that you can trust. I couldnt protect you shouldnt translate to fuck off im gonna go die alone.

Yeah, the hairless Ewoks comment had me dying.
He did take out 2 guys all by himself tonight, and the drug lord from the week before. So that's something.... Charlie however really need to get killed. I really can't stand her.

Concerning s1e08 Ties that Bind.
My guess about the function of the machine that Rachel Matheson is constructing is that it turns the power on and keeps it on. The pendant is required to activate it. Rachel will sacrifice anyone and any number of people to get what she wants. How many millions will this evil scientist sacrifice for her microworld? It looks like an energized war is brewing between or among the Monroe Militia, Grace Beaumont and maybe Randall. I want Charlie's mom to die more than Charlie in the upcoming battle.
My guess is that the machine that Randall showed Grace turns electrical power on and keeps it on too. Big power activating machine with amateur strategy versus little power activating machine with clever strategy. Monroe does not foresee the battle that awaits him. |

| First regarding the last episode where would randall be? Some sort of secret base but who is in control of it? What is it's power(s). So far we have only seen him and Grace there how many others occupy that base. And he said Grace would take care of that, I assume he means by actrivating some sort of weapon that they were looking at? Hopefully we will know more in the near future.
Other items: In randall's lair, on the giant map, it appears he can track the location of each pendant. In the lower right, it appeared to list the pendants and most were marked as inactive.
Randall talked about sending the one kid to california on a diplomatic mission but it was mentioned that their people don't always come back alive. Do you think all of these republics are warlord/dictator type countries?

| Yes, I think all of the republics are led by warlords. Monroe described the Georgia one as fighting with sticks and stones.
Randall is the government guy, and I suspect he is responsible for deactivating/suppressing electrical power. |

Somehow that "machine" where Randall & Grace is kinda resembles a large hadron collider, eh? So maybe this is a sci fi variation on the concept since it deals with electromagnetic force so not a stretch it'd affect electricity. Maybe I'm overthinking this, but thats what came to mind for me when I watched the last episode.

You see there is only one constant. One universal. It is the only real truth. Causality. Action, reaction. Cause and effect.

Pendant Tracking System Here is a screen capture from Revolution s1e08 Ties that Bind:
Here is a capture with more resolution. The "Usage Data" is different between the images.
There are 7 pendants on the screen, 4 in the Monroe Republic, 1 in Georgia Federation, 1 in Texas and 1 in the Plains Nation. There are none in the California Commonwealth nor in the Wasteland. The identifying numbers in the map are formatted like the Social Security Numbers of the people to whom they were originally assigned.
ID's of the pendants on the map and their approximate locations:
Monroe Republic:
The east side of the Monroe Republic appears to be the Mississippi River.
564.24.7425 Springfield, Illinois
644.74.1784 south of Milwaukee, Wisconsin
755.79.4343 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
995.34.1163 southeast of Saint Louis, Missouri, in Illinois
Georgia Federation:
633.42.1405 west of Charleston, South Carolina
Texas:
192.16.3774 Wichita Falls, Texas
Plains Nation
274.23.8235 near Lusk, Wyoming
We know from the plot that Ben Matheson's pendant is in Philadelphia, so its ID is 755.79.4343. Because Grace Beaumont lived in the area of west of Chicago, her pendant might be the ones in Illinois or Wisconsin and might indicate the present location of Randall and Grace. We do not know how far they traveled from her house to Randall's facility.
In the lower right corner the status of 7 pendants is displayed, 6 inactive and 1 active. I assume that "active" means that is it making electricity function in its vicinity. The numbers in this status display are not the same as the ones in the map, but the active one is similar to Ben Matheson's pendant with the two middle digits, "79," missing.
#6334547 Model A inactive
#7554343 Model C active
#3534793 Model A inactive
#1425342 Model A inactive
#6634632 Model A inactive
#2346894 Model B inactive
#1204632 Model B inactive |

| Thanks for the pics. I wonder what the icons at the top of the page do?
Hmmm I wonder if Ben's pendant being active and the only one listed as model C mean anything. I also wonder if the creator even put that much thought into it or he just made up something completely random.
And based upon your reasoning the other five pendants are either off the map (another country), in an area where it cannot give off a signal or destroyed.
Hmmm with this computer mapping, makes you wonder why randall didn't get them all back since then.
