Dude Jericho. What a shame. Best show ever that not really got a fair chance. I LOVED the first season of that show.
Yeah, that's why I don't get why people are harping on the lack of realism. Did anyone watch Lost after the first season?
Admittedly I got a little frustrated with the direction Lost took in later seasons, but Revolution hasn't strayed nearly as far from reality (yet).
The main reason I'm watching the show is because the story interests me... same as Jericho. And Lost. I want to know what is unknown. I'm willing to give it time to improve (more time than I gave that time travel/dinosaur show).

And forgot to check her imdb page, but the mother looks familiar from something.
Because the show isn't about a power outage. Some man created/manipulated thing has prevented the global use of electricity in any form.
This show is pretty much an updated version of The Postman.
WiredNuts probably does not even know the glide ratio of a 747, or rather, that an airliner even has one and what it means. Anyway, when the power went off and at the same time aircraft are in flat spin free falls Top Gun style, WHILE ON FIRE, you know it would take more than a simple electrical failure to induce that.
Like something catastrophic that changed the aerodynamics so suddenly and so much differently, that you would guess an explosion.
WiredNuts, you should read up on the United Airlines DC-10 crash at Sioux City. I think that was late 80's or early 90's.
The aircraft (Boeing 767) had lost 5,000 feet (1,500 m) in 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi), giving a glide ratio of approximately 12:1.
The most logical explanation I can come up with is that the world has been seeded with self-replicating nanomachines (which are now everywhere) that interfere with electrical devices. The pendants must be sealed/protected against these machines and have the capability to emit a specific signal that temporarily shuts off the nanomachines within a small radius.
I could see nanobots taking out sophisticated electronics, but how do they stop something as simple as a battery or as powerful as lightning?

I really don't understand the premise of this outage. It seems to me that whatever is affecting the whole world is both affecting electrical machines and mechanical machines (even those without any need for electricity). Even if the cause of all this is some type of continuous EMP, there's no way it would affect both electrical and mechanical machines. I'm so confused.
Mechanical machines still work, but how many of them are left that require no electrical power at all? In this day and age almost everything needs power, nothing runs on steam or coal anymore.
15 years is nothing for a gun. Most of my guns are older than 15 years.
You know what's a popular rifle right now? The Mosin-Nagants, which Russia made from 1891 to 1965. Most were made for WWII. They made 37 million of them, and most survived the wars.
You don't need electricity to fix a gun. Spare parts help, but almost everything can be done with simple hand tools.
Since the majority of the population seems to have died off in the show, there would be far more guns left than people.
Like the whole lighthouse thing, I'm pretty sure there was no electricity there. That was probably a gas thing.

Lots of things run on diesel. Yet we see no working diesel engines in the show.
