History Trivia / Revolution

* FakeAmerican: David Lyons (Australian) plays Bass Monroe, Tracy Spiridakos (Charlie) is Greek-Canadian, and Colm Feore (Randall of the [=DoD=]) and Leslie Hope (Georgia Federation President Kelly Foster) are Canadian.

* FanNickname: Aaron's name hasn't been stated much by episode 2, leading some to refer to him as "Google Guy". And there's "Bratniss" for Charlie.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Many fans are crying foul, because NBC has decided to put the show on a four-month hiatus after episode 10 airs in late November 2012, and we all know [[Series/{{V 2009}} how well]] [[Series/TheEvent this went]] [[Series/FlashForward2009 for other sci-fi]] [[Series/{{Jericho}} and/or serialized]] shows on network TV.
** Averted. It was booked for a second season in April. The S2 premiere will be in September 2013, and this is apparently still happening despite the ratings [[http://revolutionison.blogspot.ca/p/episodes.html slipping quite noticeably]]. One hopes that the syndication of this episode and its availablility on iTunes will mitigate some of that.
** However, played straight again when the network changed the series' timeslot to Wednesday nights. Without ''TheVoice'' as a lead in, the show's ratings have suffered heavily as a result.
** And then they cancelled it too close to the end of Season 2 for the show's producers and writers to create a proper series finale.

** [[Series/BreakingBad Ted Beneke]] recovered from his encounter with an orange dish and a rug, and has graduated from [[Series/{{Twisted}} being the mayor of a small town]] to being happily ensconced within the Patriots as their [[TheGulag re-education center and prison camp]] administrator.
** [[Series/TowerPrep Penny]], a student at Tower Prep, appears to be remarkably un-aged when she changes her name to Charlie Matheson after the Blackout.

* ShoutOut
** When they're both being held prisoner by Titus' clan Miles asks the sheriff why he took the job. Turns out he was inspired by his father's stories of ''WalkerTexasRanger''
** The scary story Aaron tells a bunch of kids is ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}''
** In season 2, Miles takes on the alias "Stu Redman", the name of a character in ''Literature/TheStand''. It should also be noted that one of the main villains of season 1 was named "Randall Flynn", which is suspiciously similar to a villain in that book with a known penchant for taking on aliases [[SignificantMonogram with the same initials as his real name]], one Randall Flagg.

** [[Series/{{JAG}}]] Clayton Webb]] went back to the military after the Blackout.

* RoleAssociation: Miles is [[{{Literature/Twilight}} Bella's dad]].
