This episode is called Black Tower . It came on June 3, 2013. It will forever be known as the best Revolution episode so far. It is also the 20th episode on the second season- if you wanted to know.
WARNING: THIS IS NOTHING BUT SPOLIERS. IT IS ALMOST A COMPLETE RUNDOWN ON WHAT HAPPENED ON THE SHOW, WITH SOME OF MY COMMENTARY. IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THIS EPISODE THEN DON’T READ THIS. IF YOU HAVE WATCHED THIS EPISODE, PLEASE TELL ME YOUR REACTION TO IT IN THE COMMENT BOX. NOW TO THE REVIEW/RUNDOWN
Note: I wrote this while watching the show so this review is written in the order it happened on the show
Note II: I don’t know why but all the characters now have bad grammar and kind of talk like TV gangsters. It’s not my fault, it just how I remember the scenes going ;).
Note III: This is a revisit to the WARNING mentioned above. This will give you a semi-actuate timeline of what happened and I will try my hardest not to make it confusing because this episode had a lot happening at one time. Okay you’re ready. Good Luck.
Note IV: Last week we learn that if the lights are cut back on there is a 50/50 chance the world will blow-up.
So it would seem that Miles, Monroe, and Nora are teaming up for the run of their lives from the people of Level 11. If you watched the pervious episode then you may or may not already known this but the people of Level 11 has introduced our normal characters to show new guns. These guns are new, improved, and awesome. Seriously, they kill in one shot.
(This picture shown is Monroe with one of these new guns. Pretty sweet, right?)
So Team Run (Miles, Monroe ,and Nora) go into this sewer. Then an Level 11 person blows up the pipe Team Run was walking on. Team Run are pushed into the rushing current and 2 of the 3 don’t come up.
Okay you may or may have guessed but I didn’t see the episode before this. All I saw was the preview to it which had Jason being captured by Monroe’s people. Then, God graces me with the sight of my dear, sweet Jason, alive and well plus working for the wrong side AGAIN. And I also see Tom- who should have already been dead- alive and murderously insane as ever.
Back with Team Run
We see the Miles and Monroe are washed ashore.Then Monroe attacks Miles. Then I believe that the writers answer my prayers because one of Monroe’s people shoot at him- with a regular gun- but sadly he misses. But CHECK THAT Monroe. As Miles and Monroe battle again, we are gifted with a flashback
FLASHBACK #1
Mile’s birthday.Miles and Monroe celebrate at a bar. They remember past birthdays then are blown up. BAM!!!!
FLASHBACK OVER
Don’t get me wrong there is an conversation but I just didn’t write it down
Back with Team 2 (Aaron, Rachel, Charlie)
Aaron found out that he quote unquote “wrote the tower’s operating system” and he freaked.
Grace shows us her mean side because he usual sweet self doesn’t make an appearance as she talks to Aaron on Level 11
When we go back to Tom and Jason we see Jason standing up to his father- once again. I’m calling in the “Tom and Jason confrontation.” During the confrontation Tom asks Jason for help. The man even says please.It was then that I knew the world was about to end. And Jason being the sweet, in-love-with-Charlie guy he is says something on the lines “… whatever happens in there I want Charlie alive and her mother.” Then Tom was all like “Fine”. Then I was all like “he’s lying” and I like to think that Jason knew that. HOPEFULLY!!!
Back with Team 2
Rachel and Grace are talking-yet again-about turning the lights back on. There we find out that Grace also lost a baby before the Black Out. Plus we learn or relearn that Danny was born 3 months earlier than his due date and his lungs weren’t fully developed. This explains a lot we didn’t know about Danny ( a moment of silence for the fallen hero ………… Thank you)
Rachel then knocked out Gracie the old fashion way ( cloth in the face and no way to breathe) after she wouldn’t agree to let her, Charlie and Aaron go down to Level 12
Team 2 got a card to unlock the door and are on their way up to LEVEL 12 to turn on the lights (OMG only 19 minutes in)
------------------------------
Back with Miles and Monroe
Miles escapes Monroe
FLASHBACK #2
When this flashback starts we are with Nora and Miles in Miles’ room. Then Monroe walks his evil self right on in. Monroe tells Miles and Nora that it was a rebel who sent the bomb. He then explains how he killed the rebel, his wife, and his kids. With a few questions in-between from Miles
FLASHBACK OVER
You may or may not have already known this but Monroe’s has got some serious EVIL MAD STYLE.
This is a picture of Miles and Monroe in Mile’s room  |
This is a picture of Miles, Monroe, and Nora in Miles room after the bombing while Monroe explains what he did to the rebel
Back with Team 2
Level 11 people are looking for Team 2. While hiding, Team 2 meets up with Nora.
Back with Miles and Monroe
Monroe runs up and jumps Miles. It was then I truly learned that Monroe had “separation issues” ( poor baby). Anyway Miles pushes him off. Then Monroe is all like “let’s finish this”. But Miles is all like no. Then Monroe says he wants an explanation as to why Miles is trying to kill him and has almost killed him twice. Miles gives an explanation. Then Monroe replies that all he ever wanted to do was watch Miles’ back- like a brother and Miles just gives him the “your got a crazy way of showing it face” Monroe and Miles are then captured and attacked by Monroe’s people.
Back with Team 2 and Nora. Nora and Rachel are talking. Here is basically how the scene went.
Nora: You love him?
Rachel: No I don’t. I can’t. blah blah blah
Nora: Yes, you do. It’s written all over your face.
Rachel: Umm…
Nora: It’s cool. He loves you too. He won’t admit it though. But he’d choose you ever time.
scene over
Back with Miles and Monroe
Monroe is taken to Tom
Tom and Monroe have a moment that is funny if anything else. Here is my version of how the scene went
Tom: Yo bro..There’s been a change in management
Monroe: nah duh
And cue commercial
````````````````~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(32 minutes in)
Tom’s people blow up the door into the tower
Back with Tom and Miles
Monroe: Imma kill you
Tom: you are foolish and have a boarder line insanity thing toward Miles. You are the definition of crazy
Monroe: Then kill me
Tom: nah, I’ll just have a long monologue before that happens
scene over
Back in the tower
Level 11’s people all have guns. As they slowly walk towards the hiding Team 2 they find Nora’s bomb.But of course, Nora has backup plan.In other words, Level 11 people go BOAM!!!! Sadly Nora gets hurt in the process.
Miles and Monroe in the tent where Tom is keeping Monroe tried up
Miles is back. Monroe is a shaking because Miles has a knife/ dagger thing right at his throat
And here is how that went down
Miles: you asked why I try to kill you but you should ask me why I cant…. we are still brother.. I still hate you but it’s never going to change the facts.
Then,Miles set Monroe free. Monroe is shocked but then he gets to steppin- which means he starts running for his life.
Back in the tower
Question: Who has now joined the party in the Tower?
Answer: Jason, Tom and his people
Back in the Tower with Team 2
Newsflash: Nora is going to die
the scene basically went like this
Rachel: I have to go to Level 12 with Aaron and leave Nora
Charlie: yeah, no
Rachel: were doing it for Danny
Charlie: Danny is dead mom. I'm here and asking for your help
Rachel: I’m still going. Aaron you need to come with me please
Nora: go save the world I can die, its for the cause
Me: NOOOOOO
Aaron: Goodbye
Me: NOOOOOOOOOOO
And commercial…. plus preview to World War Z which looks epic but of course it would, it has Brad Pitt.
------------------------
Nora: you should leave me because I don’t want you to see me die
Charlie: nah I’ll stay
And in walks an attacker
The attacker is hitting and throwing Charlie across the room. As the attacker squeezes the life out of Charlie, Miles runs in and saves the day. Then, he sees Nora.
And that went like this
Nora: leave me
Miles: no
Nora: yes. Rachel needs you
Miles: look at me. I'm not leave’n you.
And as they rush to the hospital wing Nora dies in his arms.
Then Miles starts crying, next is Charlie, and now is the rest of the world including me.Miles gives her the last kiss
Back into the action
Tom and team hit level 12
Aaron and Rachel hit level 12
Charlie and Miles hit level 12
Tom says something, then Aaron says something funny. It looks like there was about to be a battle but then we see that Miles has a gun
Can you guess who won that?
Aaron, Rachel, Miles, and Charlie are now in the Operating Room
- Aaron does his computer thing
- Miles is zoned out peps
- Aaron pushes enter
Then a black screen comes on and I nearly scream my family’s ears off.
When it comes back on from commercial we see that the lights are back on…. EVERYWHERE. Fans, radios … everything is turning back on. The down side- now tanks and choppers are up and running
Aaron was all like “it worked”.
It gives a quick scene of Monroe in the middle of a weird lightening storm without the rain part.
Back in the Operating Room Rachel turns to Charlie and Miles.
Rachel: I'm sorry bout Nora
Charlie: Whatever.
Then the team sees Randal into the room next door. The room I’m calling the power room
Randal is crazy. He pressed the red button. Then, shoots the red button which makes rockets hit the air. His crazy takeover plan is in action. Then he talks to Rachel for a while. Next thing we know he shoots himself in the head.
We are then taken to a new scene where a new guy we’ve never seen, in a suit, says something along the lines of “Randal has done it. Time to go home, Mr. President. The camera zooms out and shows us the US colony’s building and the fact that we go an American Flag representing for the wrong team.
That concludes the episode
