As a service to our readers, once again I have typed my fingers to the bone (please, Aaron, heal them) and transcribed today’s Power Half Hour, the enigmatic, question-and-non-answer Twitter session with Revolution’s writers. The only real news to come out of today’s event was that Revolution won’t return from it’s fall break until January! (Photos are screenshots from last night’s episode; I apologize that they aren’t as great quality as the promo photos usually are, but this week’s promo photos weren’t all that interesting.)
Today’s Power Half Hour with writer Paul Grellong
Q1 Will the power ever be fully restored? Eventually maybe?
A That’s a pretty big “maybe.”
Q2 When will we get more romantic scenes between Miles & Rachel?
A 2014.
Q3 Why hasn’t Aaron figured out that he is a badass and started to act the part?
A Speaking from personal experience, it takes time to grow comfortable with one’s growing badassery. Give the man time.
Q4 What was Rachel’s maiden name?
A Porter.
Q5 Any more hints about Bass’s son? Any teases for the second half of the season?
A Knowing Bass he’ll stop at nothing to find the kid. Question is, how far did the apple fall from the tree?
Q6 Who wrote the Batman line? I MUST MEET THIS INDIVIDUAL!
A That’s a (Eric) Kripke original – he’s our Batman.
Q7 Will Miles survive his infection? #Youbettersayyes
A Or what?
Q8 With all the Miles/Bass banter, do the actors ad-lib or is it all scripted by you guys?
A Scripted. But writing in their voices is one of the pleasures of working with such talented cats.
Q9 Did Bass really leave Charlie or was he just playing Ultimate Hide N Go Seek?
A What are the rules of Ultimate Hide N Go Seek? Where does one play and what are the prizes?
Q10 Does the town in OK mentioned in last night’s episode really have the world’s largest ball of string?
A No, it has the second largest. As Weird Al Yankovic told us the largest one is in Minnesota.
Q11 Will we see more of the little boy?
A Quite possible. He was great wasn’t he?
Q12 Is Neville’s wife as deceptive as him with ulterior motives?
A Let’s put it this way: she may be the one person on earth who can out-Neville Neville.
Q13 When will new episodes of Revolution return?
A Revolution returns Wednesday, January 8th at 8/7c!
This week’s Revolution Revealed video can be seen here. And the most recent episode of Aaron’s Journal, which was actually written by Dr. Horn, is here.
