"Revolution" Season 1 comes to a close on Monday night and star Billy Burke says the episode, "The Dark Tower," builds to a stunning climax.
"Everything we've been fighting for comes into question," Burke revealed during a conference call to promote the finale. "It all culminates in the event that's about to take place in the tower. We all find out what we were fighting for all along may not be -- physically or spiritually -- what we thought we were fighting for."
Burke calls the episode "a great way to not only cap off this season but bring us into the next." But don't expect him to give any hints about what might happen in Season 2. He says he's completely in the dark: "I have not seen one line or one script from next season," Burke says. "So I don't have a clue what we're going into."
As for what else to expect from the finale, Burke promises more information about Randall will be revealed: "I can't go into detail about it, but you'll find out Randall's M.O. in this last episode." And both Randall and Tom Neville will continue to pursue their interests: "[Randall and Neville] individually have their own agendas and we will see those come to a head in the finale, but it doesn't necessarily mean they're [working] in tandem."

So Randall is alive, I thought he was dead.
ReplyDeleteI figured he wouldn't be. I had a feeling he was trying to bring all his enemies to one place (via help with Sandborn) but one thing that I don't understand or I don't think is clear is how it is Randall had access to the Tower in order to bring Grace there and before he left for Monroe? Did he make it so that The Tower Protectors would be stuck on Level 11? Was he one of them? Or is he one of them? Then we have Grace who was working out of her house before, why? It almost seems like he wanted Rachel there, maybe wanted her to help him infiltrate The Tower protectors?! There's just a lot of missing story with him and he and Rachel both have lost their son's do to war, so I think it's only fitting that these two characters are put in this situation for a reason...
ReplyDeleteHmmm It I can't tell if "crack" means that there's no going back after this, because of what one of them does, or if it actually means there's no going back because one of them dies?
ReplyDeleteIt also sounds like it leaves us on an unpredictable cliff hanger and I don't know if I like that. I hope we get some hint about where it could go and/or we see something unexpected happen, even if we don't understand the full after math of it.
"We all find out what we were fighting for all along may not be -- physically or spiritually -- what we thought we were fighting for."
It sounds like, since this is coming from BB's perspective, that he thought he was fighting for family, fighting to destroy Monroe and his republic for freedom, and I recall he believed that the power should be off, So if this is some how turned on it's head, then either he's been fighting for the wrong side still, and/or Randall's end game is just SO much bigger than what we imagined, that something must specifically happen to "Miles" for this to be BB's assessment....but what else would there be to fight for....'Cowboys and Aliens'????
I think Randall working together with those on level 11 is a good possibility!
ReplyDeleteHe was after all in contact with those in the tower when he launched the nanites, perhaps he anticipated it and this is all part of a bigger plan of his?
Or maybe I'm just reading too much into things :P
think it's both, things will forever change after the finale and one (or more) of them probably die.
ReplyDeleteIIRC, Randall had access to the Tower, but not to the lower levels--he had Grace working on getting the elevator working again when he left her there. As I understand it, the folk in the basement sealed themsleves in when Randall did . . . whatever he did that sent everything pear-shaped. After he left and Grace got the elevator working again, they have sort of emerged a bit, taken her in, and reprogrammed the access, locing Randall out but allowing Rachel in (not that Randall didn't get in anyway. . . ).
ReplyDeleteSo, from that, I assume Randall is not working with the people under the stairs and may not even have known they were down there (though one must assume he'd have known folk were down there before things went kablooie).
It does rather raise the question of why the undergrounders, given those weapons they have, would leave Randall in control of the top of the Tower, but that seems to have been what happened, or for that matter how they've managed to live down there, sealed in, for fifteen years. There may have been a lot of stored food in a facility like that, but fifteen years is a long time to live on canned and preserved food.

ReplyDeleteThis is exactly why I think there's something dubious about it or at least in relation to Randall and it. I remember Randall saying something to Rachel a while back like, "I was able to get into the Tower" -but seemingly it seems like before he went and retrieved Grace, yet Grace seems to be well aware/part of the Tower peeps...Did he need Grace to get in, or was he already in?? -It seems more like he got in and then needed Grace to fix the elevators, but we still don't understand what happened to isolate them to level 11 and if Randall was apart of that...I agree it seems like he is currently against them, just not sure if I buy that he always was since he knows so much about it.
I have know doubt that the tower parallels Dharma stations and so I could see them easily live down there, but I'm not sure if they only lived on level 11 the whole time, but then again we don't have any idea just how big these levels are, but so far we haven't seen 'living spaces'...
But all anyone could do from the top of the tower was watch/spy... not a huge deal overall and they didn't consider that an issue - then again, with the elevator not working anyhow they may not have wanted to tip their presence by locking him out.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if we really know that is true, since Grace was on that Level as Randall's hack, it's just that it didn't work out in his favor, or at least at the moment it appears it didn't.
ReplyDeleteI do think it's probably the least important level, but sometimes all it takes is for someone to get there foot in the door and it's all over (and I think Randall believes that)...It still doesn't explain the extreme confinement. Something had to happen for them to make this decision and it just wouldn't surprise me if Randall had something to do with before.
