Last night Revolution held a panel at the annual PaleyFest. Check out our full recap!
The Revolution panel began with a few quick jokes about the Superbowl Blackout, seeing the connections to Revolution. And then Billy Burke made a classic joke about being drunk.
The subject quickly moved forward to the looming four month hiatus. Eric Kripke was “grateful for it” and said it “creatively payed off.” He followed by saying that “they weren’t moving the story fast enough.” He felt like it was “time to open it up.” Hopefully a faster pace will work out well for the show.
“We will reveal why the power went out and we will reveal it early.” It is a little surprising that they will reveal the biggest mystery of the show so early in the series. Kripke added, “The mystery still continues; it just keeps twisting and evolving.”
‘It will blow your mind!’
“Are we going to be blown away by the reason?” Kripke said that it will “blow your mind,” but Farveau merely answered with a “meh.” Kripke adds, “The fights get bigger. The emotion gets more fraught. The characters twist and turn more.”
Tracey started to talk a little bit about her character, Charlie. She says, “The cool thing about Charlie is that everybody else is already in this world and they have experienced all these things, whereas with Charlie we all get to watch her fail, learn from her mistakes, and then use those lessons going forward and grow into being this warrior.” She adds that “the arrow through the throat thing was possibly the coolest.” She will battle over her humanity – whether or not she can keep her innocence or has already “seen too much bad.”
Onto Jason, Charlie says that he will be around a lot more in future Revolution episodes. JD Paro adds that it is “a real fun story to play out” and that it is a “Romeo and Juliet type story. It is like a forbidden love. There is so much loyalty and so much family. That is what is at the essence of that. Family.”
‘He is trying to be better.’
Is Miles a redeemable character? “He finds himself thrown into this family he has never really recognized anyways. He is starting to face undeniable conflicts of what will I do for these people that surround me,” said Billy Burke, a fan favorite from Twilight. “Where is the soft, chewey center of the guys and how will it reveal itself?” Kripke adds, “were the show to take place five years earlier, Miles would be the bad guy. He is totally redeemable because he is trying. He is trying to be better and that is everything.”
