Revolution Soul Train

Despite the title of this episode there was no Don Cornelius only a steam locomotive that may or may not be sabotaged with an explosive log.  It would be difficult not to find this amusing.

Don Cornelius

After a long period spent aimlessly wandering through the woods our heroes arrive in Noblesville, Indiana to find Charlie Matheson's hunky brother about to be shipped to Philadelphia, which is important for an undisclosed reason?  This show has the annoying habit of either telling you nothing or telling you everything without that natural balance. 

Much of the show is devoted to the backstory of Monroe Militia Colonel Tom Neville.  Before the power went out he was a cowardly insurance claims adjuster, much like General Bethlehem in the Postman, who repaired copiers.  He is now a martial figure with little compassion for weakness or impediments in his way.  He has an extremely hot wife, played by Kim Raver, and his son, Nate, is the spy who has been chasing Charlie, father and son have similar tastes in women.  We meet more rebels and the secret of the 12 pendants that will bring the power back.  Now we must, ugh waste more time with whining dull characters, and find these devices.

Kim Raver, her real name.

The train arrives in Philadelphia with little real threat of derailment.  No one thinks to rip up the tracks or place a tree over the tracks before the train arrives?  These idiots could not win a guerrilla war against the Soviet Union let alone a set of melodramatic monochrome dressed grave speaking neofascist militiamen.

The guy in the shades is the drummer.  These guys are the Beatles of the Alaskan militias.  Guess who is the lead singer?
