Dear friends,

Can someone explain Revolution to me?
Thanks.

The show is inane and idiotic and the season one finale turned me off permanently, BUT (1) an explanation is given mid-season-one which has nothing to do with stopping chemical reactions and which does not involve damaging the batteries themselves in any way, (2) is a huge assumption and a mistaken one and again the McGuffin doesn't harm the batteries themselves and I'm guessing doesn't invade nerve fibers, and (3) the flash drives themselves locally override the McGuffin and were designed ahead of time by the people who designed the McGuffin and the smallness of their range is a major plot point.

BUT BUT the McGuffin should have eliminated all possibility of any 2 computers powered* by any 2 override flash drives being able to communicate with each other across distances EVER. (*well, not precisely "powered" by them but to explain would be to explicitly spoiler everything)

Tracy Spiridakos is hotter than hell, Charlie Matheson is a kickass young female protagonist, and Miles Matheson is kickass and morally ambiguous. Nonetheless I'm ditching on season 2 because the last scene of s1 pissed me off that badly with the stupid and it wasn't even tech logic fail, it was logic logic fail.
