Eleven years ago today, two planes crashed into the Twin Towers in New York City, New York. Another plane flew into the Pentagon, and yet another crash landed in a field in Pennsylvania. Thousands of people were killed that day, wether from being in or near the Pentagon or Twin Towers during the attack, being on any of the four planes that crashed, or being one of the heroic people that risked their lives to save others. Today, we remember that day, and mourn the losses of others.

We will never forget.

Revolution

Revolution airs Monday, September 17 on NBC.

I love this show! The free full-episode pilot is on Xfinity OnDemand, and it is fantastic.

***MINOR SPOILERS, DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU CALL MINOR, SO LET'S JUST SAY SPOILERS AND LEAVE IT AT THAT***

Revolution is created by J.J. Abrams, and takes place in Chicago, 15 years after all electronics—plugged in or not—mysteriously "blacked out". Very Divergent/Insurgent-type setting, even complete with a rusted over Navy Pier and O'Hare as an airport graveyard.
People have set up their own villages, townships, and militias, equaling death for whoever disobeys. A group of militia come to the village where Charlie—the main character and heroine—resides, in search of her father. However, her brother, Danny, thinks otherwise, and soon, a bloodbath ensues. The militia captain takes Danny after his father is shot and killed, and Charlie hears his dying wish,

"Find Miles..."

Charlie goes on a quest to avenge her father and save her brother, all while trying to manage to survive.


Great show, good job, NBC.

Zynga needs help with math.

Can anyone tell me how the heck, in any logic whatsoever, how this makes sense?

I was playing Words With Friends...hmmm...

Really confused.
