"Revolution" Review

Podcast Powered By Podbean

Hello, my name is Katie Greene and this podcast is a review of NBC’s new hit TV show, “Revolution”. “Revolution” takes place in present-day America, where, for some unknown reason, the power has gone out. Because of this the United States has fallen and has been replaced with an organization known as the Monroe Republic. So naturally my friends and I thought this TV show would be interesting. It’s not another crime-drama or a new reality show with people we’ve never heard of. I thought it would be a breath of fresh air, but after watching the pilot, I cannot say that I’m particularly interested in the show anymore. It has many faults in my opinion. For one the show moves way too fast. After the capture of her brother, one of the main characters, Charlie sets off with two others to find the uncle she’s never met in Chicago. Well she travels to Chicago, finds her uncle in the first building she tries, and convinces him to help her all in one episode. He is also the first person she happens to ask about him. I feel like the journey could’ve been extended to supply more character introductions and backgrounds. Because they didn’t do this, I find Charlie very annoying. There was never really a chance to show the audience how protective she is of her little brother, who is 18 by the way, but the way she talks about him you’d think he’s 10. And I’m not really a fan of the uncle, Miles, either. He’s like that character in every television series nowadays that has to have a dark and mysterious past, which fills him with regret and he cannot talk about it. And the way he talks to other characters, he might as well say, “Look, you’re an idiot so do what I say”. It just bothers me that none of the characters really have any depth. I like the idea of the show; I just think it needs to be done differently. Perhaps the more the series goes on, the better it will be. It is still too early to tell, and I’m still trying to give it a chance. But see how Revolution is for yourself! It’s on every Monday night at 10 on NBC. Thanks for listening!

Fall is here!

Trees around campus have begun to change their leaves from a deep green to gorgeous shades of red and orange.

Summer is beginning to fade away and hopefully this huge bees nest I found on campus will do the same.

Students of Westfield

In her natural habitat, my roommate Sara works hard to earn her nursing degree.

Usually annoyed at the sight of us, Matt continues to grow annoyed as I continue to "document his existence".

Westfield State

Students can either spend their time studying hard in their dorm rooms...

... or relaxing in the dozens of lawn chairs out on the green.

Expanding the campus

Westfield has been undergoing several construction projects at once on campus such as expanding the campus center and a new residential building. 

Dirt and gravel roads and equipment from the construction has replaced the green in front of Ely.

Me

This is me in my room, where I am normally surrounded by electronics. Though you can't really see it, I'm wearing my high school tee shirt.

Not much of a self-portrait, but this is my boyfriend and I who are attached to the hip when together. I think this illustrates it quite nicely. The current school I attend is represented in this photograph.
