Revolution on NBC

15 years after the blackout...Power is everything.
Chilling, right? It's the tagline for NBC's new show, Revolution. Because the show has been filming here in Wilmington, NC, they held a screening of the pilot episode (you can watch it now at NBC.com.) I won tickets from one of our local radio stations, WGNI. My husband and I were very excited to check Revolution out. I thoroughly enjoyed the pilot episode. It is going to be a thought provoking show. We are so dependent on our technology that it's hard to imagine life without anything electrical. We are so connected that we forget there are people today in developing nations that don't have access to clean water, let alone technology. The show's executive producer is JJ Abrams who was one of the creatives behind LOST. It's inevitable that people will be looking for parallels between LOST and Revolution. Giancarlo Esposito, Captain Neville in Revolution, addressed that very question after the screening.


Yes! Much to our surprise and delight, three of Revolution's actors attended the screening. They were very generous and stayed after to answer questions. In addition to Mr. Esposito, Daniella Alonso and Graham Rogers were in attendance.  


Giancarlo Esposito talked for a bit about the film industry in Wilmington.


Graham Rogers answered a question from a young audience participant. 


And finally, Mr. Esposito was asked who would win if Revolution's Captain Neville and Breaking Bad's Gus Fring got into a fight.


Revolution is definitely not for younger children. Society has devolved to a place where violence is common. I will let my middle schooler watch if she's interested. I think it would create the opportunity for some interesting discussions.

The premiere of Revolution is September 17th at 10pm. For more information, check out the Revolution website.

I’m actually intrigued by the pilot, which surprised me, and I watched it after reading several reviews of the show online. Who doesn’t want to at least watch a couple of episodes with so many big names on board with this show? I know I do. The cast seems well rounded and that definitely adds to the appeal of the show as a whole. In preparation for the season premiere I’ve got my Hopper set to record and we will see if the show is really as great as I think it will be. The preview of the pilot online ahead of the actual premiere was a brilliant move by NBC and has definitely roped in some people. Some of my Dish co-workers are looking forward to the show getting started and there’s been lots of discussion of what will happen as the season goes on. I’m patiently waiting to see what happens in future episodes.

It is important to put some thought into what type of toothbrush you
are going to be using on a daily basis. Periodontal disease goes through three stages: gingivitis, periodontitis
and pyorrhea. Do not expect any sort of teeth whitening strategies to work the 1st time, even
bleaching them.

That last item will be your special personalized
gift that is irreplaceable. You only want to
shell out for genuine delivers so be mindful if you are needed for
any fee or membership to get access to these coupons.

The staff person I talked to thought it would be best for me to come into the store so that I could review their whole list of birthday party crafts, each with a different cost.

Go for a cheap air compressor for your workshop - Go to different shops to compare prices before
buying air compressor. With the reservoir filled, plug the
spray gun into either an electrical outlet or an air compressor.
Tires are often inflated by the use of air compressors, and certain tools, like
nail guns, are also fed by compressed air.

There are different varieties specifically created for adults
and kids with various head sizes and bristle softness.
Do it little by little and cautiously because the bleach might get accidentally on your clothing or nearly anything that is bordering you.
Even children themselves will get to see the difference,
as their teeth look brighter and feel smoother and thus, cleaner.

t be sure of the time ,you can check it on the internet about Michaels, in case
of your loss. Then take white paint and make stitch marks along the edge
(little dashes along the edge) If you wanted you can outline the heart in black
as well. I have many such items on the front of my
fridge and I have always struggled with powerful magnets
that didn't take up too much space.

The Prestyl heating panels come in two by two foot or two
by four foot panels that can easily be hung on the
wall or used as ceiling panels. I was surprised
simply because I suspected the Amish built premium products.
26 kilowatts and hour, far less than the average space heater.

I love waffles and I always wanted to be able to make my
own waffles. I prayed for a real food processor that would slice, dice,
chop, blend food with ease, and did not have to be churned manually.
For scrambled eggs, add the eggs to the pie iron and close, holding over
the campfire until eggs are done.

If you use this together with your wall mirror, you'll be able to see all sides of your face and ensure an even shave. It has the ability to tilt and pivot for great close shave. Dull, dirty razor blades are the leading cause of nicks and cuts.

Honey is a common ingredient of natural skin care products.
The allergens in these compounds could be bad for people with
sensitive skin, and some believe that long term exposure may
be linked to certain cancers, like those of the breast.
Children's skin is very sensitive and vulnerable, that's why it requires
for a special baby skin care.
