What I think:
Gue akhirnya sempet juga nonton pilotnya... tapi terus terang kecewa sih, I watched the trailer, and while I was watching the pilot, I felt like I've seen the whole pilot just from the trailer. It has the "been there done that" feel to it. Clichéd, and it's almost like you could guess what would happen next. So I found the pilot to be boring, but would like to find out why things turned off - but I'm not that interested in the drama that's around it, it just didn't feel unique enough. I know it's science ficiton, wacky things can happen (time travel/parallel universe/alternate time lines/FTL/living ships/inter galactic travel/etc - seriously, the list is too long), but normally those would still make sense and believable in their respective universes, while I found this one is not (not so far anyway), so I'd really like to see how they would explain/reveal how did they manage to re-write the rules of physics in the Revolution universe. To me, if electricity goes out, it could be recreated, because there are running water/wind/etc that could be used to create electrictiy, even an EM pulse would probably render equipments useless, but it shouldn't make it impossible to create electricity from a scratch... so yeah, confused is an understatement, maybe that's their tactics to get people to watch... get them confused and curious enough to find out what the hell is going on... coz it's working for me.
