Revolution: The Changes meets Hunger Games

Back in the 1970s, the BBC ran a childrens series called The Changes which started with people going insane and destroying technology.  A couple of kids solved the mystery, it turned out to be a rock somewhere in the West Country, or Wales or something and after a good stage school speaking to, everything went back to normal.  At least that's how I remember it.  There were some striking bits including an early hit on racism with a family of Sikhs.

Last night the first episode of JJ Abrams and Eric Kripke's new potboiler aired.  Abrams, of course, brought us Lost, Alias and Alcatraz; Kripke did Supernatural.  I'm sure the network thought; these guys?  What could possibly go wrong?  Well, there was Alcatraz, and the last season of Alias, and pretty much everything after episode 10 of Lost.

So, Revolution:
