In episode 20 of The Revolution Podcast we share our thoughts on the spring premiere, “The Stand.” We talk about all of the major plot developments involving Monroe, Tom and Jason, Randall, and team Miles. We talk about Rachel’s secrets, the mysterious capsule she pulled out of Danny, and we talk about Danny’s death. Did Danny’s death invalidate the entire first half of the season? We give our opinions on that question as well as share the thoughts of those on Twitter.

I’m sorry you didn’t pick the quote from Miles in the basement directed toward John on the subject of sitting around in the basement and “playing with his necklace”.
I think that the surgery to Danny referred to by Randal was an in utero surgery unrelated to the surgery to place the capsule. Rachael was clearly not happy in the flashback and was very concerned about the whole thing, stating that he “isn’t a science experiement”. I don’t think she would have been so upset for him to undergo a life saving procedure.
Thanks for the podcast. Makes work tolerable!
You mentioned several times on your podcast that you feel that the writers are playing fast & loose with the fuel supply issue. I don’t think that fuel supply is anything to be concerned about. Given that the USA uses over 360 million gallons of gasoline per day, I would expect that the supply which was sored and ready for sale at the time the power went out would be sufficient to last centuries without a daily use and consumption by cars and such. Just my thought.
Thanks for listening, Wes, and thanks for the comment. Our concern about being fast and loose with fuel doesn’t have to do with the amount of gasoline available but rather the quality of the gasoline. Gasoline begins to break down after just a few months. The longer it is stored, the worse it gets. So the idea that something like a helicopter, which depends on highly refined fuel, would still run smoothly on old fuel seems unrealistic.
Huey helicopters, like all gas turbine (jet) aircraft does not run on gasoline but jet fuel which is a form of kerosene. Kerosene fuels also break down over time but at a slower rate. Still, finding quality jet fuel after 15 years will be difficult. There’s also the issue of fresh hydraulic fluids as well.
