Are you eating lunch alone AGAIN, or are you shunning people purposefully to catch up on the latest TV? Phew! I thought so! You’re not desperate and alone at all. That’s why you should unwrap your smelly Indian leftovers from last night, and watch the sneaky-peeky preview of J.J. Abrams‘ latest venture Revolution on Hulu right now. Here’s something Wikipedia said about that:

Revolution takes place in a post-apocalyptic future. Fifteen years earlier, an unknown phenomenon permanently disabled all advanced technology on the planet, ranging from computers and electronics to car engines, jet engines, and batteries. People were forced to adapt to a world without technology, and due to the collapse of public order, many areas are ruled by warlords and militias.

And here are some comments (dumb) people left after watching it:

I’m exited for the showww! This was a great start.

A fascinating show, if a bit flawed/derivative in its underlying premise.

Totally stupid. Smoking a marijuana cigarette stops asthma attacks in a few seconds. Before marijuana prohibition asthma was one of the most common medical uses for marijuana. This show is stupid and has no credibility.

I thought it was pretty good but I’m easily entertained:)

Watch it now and form your own funny, dumb opinion!

Like The Hunger Games, except everybody looks confused.

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  1. “an unknown phenomenon” aka they couldn’t think of how to write that part.

    I like the premise, and I like how it appears that not all of the main characters look like preppie fratlords. Are there any people from ::LOST:: in it?

  2. seriously? This just sounds like a night at the Clay Street Church that allows both volunteers and area homeless to congregate and eat snacks.
    The poster photo and the narration kind of sounds like that Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver film that came out not too long ago, plus I do like it better there than here, the humid swamp of Central Florida.
