Revolution: Season 1 Review - A house divided against itself cannot stand

"I'm a patriot, Rachel". Who else saw that coming? Not me for sure. Season 1 of Revolution ended with a bang as the now not so evil Randall Flynn set about blowing the east coast of America into a million pieces. So, If I'm following this right... and I'd like to think I am, this means he wasn't actually a villain (despite all the psycho-babble he would come out with). Plot twist or what?!

The real question for season 2 will ultimately be which side will Miles and co take. It wasn't exactly clear given, they probably don't know about the US colony in Cuba yet. Also, I quite like the about-face in Monroe's character. I'd like him and Miles to team up at some point next season, it would be good viewing and the storyline between them in the last episode was engaging on many levels. Nora dying left the way clear for Miles/Rachel to be a focus, and Neville switching sides yet again was no surprise, but given how amazingly well acted by Giancarlo Esposito, Neville is... this can only be good.

What of Texas and other nations which we have yet to see? We surely will get to see them in their full glory?
Whatever happens, the excitement for season 2 could not be higher.
