'Revolution' mid-season finale catch-up, sneak peek
If you've fallen behind on Revolution on NBC, don't fret; you don't have to pull the plug on the show. Even though it's somewhat mythology driven, this is isn't Lost where a couple missed weeks means you're out of power for the rest of the season.
In fact, to prep for tonight's big mid-season finale, here's a little catch-up for the episode where it will cover what you missed, and show what's next.
Enjoy.

But the show highlight was the introduction of Mark Pellegrino as militia commander Jeremy, who just owned each of his scenes.
What did you think about episode three? Check out the clip below where Erik Kripke and the cast talk about the perils of perception and best intentions.
'Revolution' revealed: episode two
The journey through a world without power continued on last night's Revolution. After the long-awaited pilot finally aired last week, were you satisfied with how the NBC drama matched the hype? The show's creators and actors weigh in on where they find themselves two episodes in, and shed some light on life in the permanent blackout.
'Revolution' premiere lowdown
If the Revolution premiere last night piqued your interest about the show and left you wanting more information, you're in luck. Check out this video giving the lowdown on the first episode from the actors and creators. One interesting note after the premiere: exec-producer J.J. Abrams told EW the show is about a world without power is a quest story in a modern-medieval setting, but is more of a story about rebirth than a post-apocalyptic tale.
'Revolution' NYC premiere gets fans powered up for new show

Despite the rain, there was a good turnout for the premiere of NBC’s Revolution Monday night. More than two hundred people lined up outside the abandoned warehouse on Manhattan’s Pier 57. Signs touting the premiere and a Revolution street team got the line geared up to watch the anticipated first episode about a world without electricity (which happens to be exec-produced by J.J. Abrams, written by Supernatural creator Eric Kripke and directed by Jon Favreau).
Once inside, the crowd found themselves in a darkly lit hallway of the warehouse making their way to the brightly lit screen. Moss-covered, old steel columns and power boxes added to the dilapidated feel and put you in the mood for some good old fashion end-of-the-modern-world fun. Even the concession stand - serving Starbucks Refreshers and popcorn - was also moss-covered and dark.
The hallway ended in a cavernous room filled with the screen, chairs and 80 people on stationary bikes. In an inventive move, Revolution partnered with the non-profit Transportation Alternatives. The 80 people, pedaling for all they were worth, were actually the sole power generators of the evening. Even one of the actors, Tim Guinee, took a bike seat throughout the premiere and helped power the screen. Since the plot of the show deals with a world without power, the ever-present buzz of bicycle gears was a poignant reminder of how much we depend on electricity.
The crowd got settled and introductions to the show were made onstage. For a bit of fun, the host had the crowd take out their hand-held smart phones or tablets and pass them to the person on their left. She wanted everyone to take a moment and see how they felt without a device connecting them to the world. Obviously everyone wanted their phone back quickly, although I think half the audience was more worried the person to their left would run off with it than their 30-second lack of communication. Tim Guinee joined the host on stage and said a few words about how much fun he had working on the show before mounting his bike for the evening.
The lights flickered and the show started, and then the screen froze. The crowd waited a beat and then started good-naturedly heckling the bicyclists. The host got back up to stall and there were a couple minutes were no one was sure the premiere was going to happen at all. It would have been a funny way to promote a show about not having any power. A few minutes later though the show restarted and everyone settled in.
Overall, the crowd seemed to enjoy themselves and there was clapping as the credits rolled. While more than one spectator commented on the bright colors and good condition of clothes in the show’s post-industrial story-world, the majority of the crowd seemed willing to tune in again. Quite a few had even used the event’s hashtag #PoweredByThePeople on Twitter for a chance to win a membership to Transportation Alternatives. Everyone was in good spirits as the exited the warehouse back into our fully lit world.

So you say you want a 'Revolution'?
Who turned out the lights? Apparently NBC and Iron Man director Jon Favreau will, along with help from J.J. Abrams, this fall when the new show Revolution debuts. Set in a world 15 years after humanity loses electricity and power, the show is a post-apocalyptic saga where rebels must fight against martial law and ... well, you get the idea.
As our colleague, CNN.com's Henry Hanks put it, it's The Walking Dead, Terra Nova and Falling Skies without zombies, dinos or aliens.
What do you think of the first look? The swordplay looks sweet, and it's always a pleasure to see Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), but will you tune in to see a world thrust into the dark?
