Another fun addition to a strong cast!
ReplyDeleteBEST NEWS THIS MONTH I'M FREAKING EXCITED!
ReplyDeleteI am so fucking happy right now. I've missed Elizabeth so much!
ReplyDeleteLike this. A good cast gets even better..
ReplyDeleteOK I am officially sold on this show!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see her again on TV. But the show will have trouble with Billy Burke as the leading actor.
ReplyDeleteYes ! Great news, I loved her character of Juliet Burke on LOST. She really was amazing.
ReplyDeleteI hope Revolution will be as good as expected ! Can't wait !!
Cool. Will be great to see her on Tv again.. would love to see her on Fringe
ReplyDeleteHell,yes!
ReplyDeleteOMFG ! I'm so so so happy :D
ReplyDeleteDarn. I wish she was cast in a show I was planning to watch.
ReplyDeleteHell yeah! But didn't they say in some of the promos that her character was dead? I guess I either don't remember well or Charlie was misinformed. Love Elizabeth Mitchell and so glad to have her back on tv.
ReplyDeleteThis ensemble keeps getting stronger!
ReplyDeleteThis show just got a second season :)
ReplyDeleteThis makes me so happy!! Glad she will be back on our screens.
ReplyDeleteGreat. They need one or two more known names in the series.
ReplyDeleteAgree. They should kill her character at the end of S1.
ReplyDeleteNow I will have to watch this show! Wasn't sure about it but now I have no control. So happy right now!
ReplyDeleteCharlie's father was the one dead.
ReplyDeleteAnd i'm doing my *Happy Dance*! Gee,could it get any better?
ReplyDeleteYeah it could,where's Sawyer?
LoL,Your right! :)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant news - I was going to watch anyways but this makes the show even more appealing.
ReplyDeleteHe is probably scavenging up the battery supply to corner the market!
ReplyDeleteI just came off twitter and i saw on Gather.com they have spoilers for Grey's.Sarah is talking about the aftermath...I cannot post and Andy isn't around so i can't submit it...
ReplyDeleteAnd what ever else he can squirrel away,lol....I just asked Kluty_girl but i'm not sure she is around? On gather.com they have an article on Grey's Anatomy with Sarah Drew in it and she talks about the aftermath of the plane crash.I cannot post,i don't have that privilege,and Andy is missing in action....If you find it would be of interest post it please,thanks! :)
ReplyDeletePosted.
ReplyDeleteThanks D! The heads up wasn't necessary,but still kind of you!
ReplyDeleteYES! YES! YES!!!!!!!!! (and know I didn't just eat a great salad!) So EXCITED NOW! I was hoping for a more well known BR alumni! This is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteIt sure better have!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I think it would be fun if J.H. would appear or join the cast later...I am kind of hoping to get some more..like Mark Pellegrino, Jefferey Pierce, Ken Leung, Jennifer Missoni, Michelle Rodriguez, Greg Grunberg, Amanda Forman, Dominic Monaghan, Carter Maclntyre, Scott Speedman, Marsha Thomson, Sarah Jones (I think she deserves another chance)...I think I would love to see anyone (except Kevin Durand XD)
ReplyDeleteDisagree. His brief appearance in FRINGE (in which the character's past that was mentioned is similar to this role) and how Bad Robot goes about family sagas, makes me think his relationship with his family (especially since the trailer suggests his brother knew about what was going to happen) seems important to the series.
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun! Good picks just not M.Rodriquez for some reason there is something about her i don't like..Definitely Greg Grunberg! I fell for him in Alias,i think he would be a good addition..So many people,yet listen to us talking about who would be good in it and were not even sure about a S2,ha!
ReplyDeleteJust when I think I've reached a point where nothing that can make me more excited than I already am, for this show, this happens...
ReplyDeleteI swear if this isn't as awesome as it has the potential and promice to be I might cry!
So excited, be sure to check out http://www.revolution-show.com also
ReplyDeleteMark Pellegrino needs to be in every show. Ever.
ReplyDeleteSCORE. Now, let's just hope the show doesn't suck.
ReplyDeleteThere is some Lost irony going on here. The actress Mitchell replaces in Andrea Roth, who portrayed Harper Stanhope on Lost, AKA - Goodwin's wife!
ReplyDeleteyaaaay!!! best casting newws ever!!! im so gonna watch this show!!
ReplyDeleteSo I was looking back over casting and I am a bit confused about this particular role. Andrea Roth had also described her character as "the mother of two children". In the Pilot she is seen with little Charlie, Danny, and Uncle Miles in a flash back of the black out on the phone with Ben. So either Roth plays their aunt (and is Miles wife) and the kids where with them instead of their parents during the black out...But the problem with this is that then Elizabeth Mitchell would be their mother and married to Ben, but we see that Ben gets shot and Anna Lisa Philips character, Maggie, seems romantically attached to Ben and sets out with Charlie and Aaron to find Miles. So something is missing or doesn't make sense about these roles...Perhaps Mitchell's character and Ben are divorced?
ReplyDeleteI submitted a scoop last night about another Revolution cast member and I don't see it yet. Should I send it again, or wait a little longer?
ReplyDeleteIf you want you can link me and I will post it.
ReplyDeleteCool beans. I want to like this show and I love Elizabeth. So, I might really get into this show. But all of the things I've been hearing has left me a little underwhelmed but I will give it the standard three episodes to wow me and if it doesn't I'll stream it on netflix someday when I'm uber bored.
ReplyDeleteSure, as long as you don't mind!

Wow! this sounds more like a soap opera than something Bad Robot would make,lol..Nonetheless it sounds better with each new tidbit that comes out! So Ben's wife Elizabeth has been gone,i wonder why and for how long? That in itself reminds me of Lost,no? Sounds juicy and getting more excited by the day! Where did you find all this good stuff? I haven't seen anything about it...
ReplyDeleteActually I went back and both her parents are dead according to Charlie in the second teaser here:

Maybe she was misinformed or they changed that line in the pilot afterwards.
Great news!!! The chances for a second season just got a whole lot better.
ReplyDeleteCool cool cool.
ReplyDeleteAWSOME!!! Can get any better now xD
ReplyDeleteYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I Approve!!
ReplyDeleteME TOo!
ReplyDeletethat would be to perfect ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreg Grunberg has to be in it, It's JJ's show, hes been in like everything of JJs
