Plot hole: Every time the nanos stop absorbing electricity (for whatever reason), street lights, radios, everything 'on the grid' immediately starts to come back on. No re-building infrastructure, no restarting turbines, etc., even 15 year old streetlights lying on the ground, in the middle of nowhere.
Revolution (2012)
1 plot hole - chronological order
Starring: Billy Burke, Giancarlo Esposito, Zak Orth, Tracy Spiridakos
Genres: Sci-fi
Factual error: In the flashback at the beginning of the episode where Maggie remembers the last time she talked to her children. She getting ready to go out for the evening in Seattle (and it's dark outside) while on a video call with her children in England, telling them that it's late and time for them to go to bed. Since Seattle is 8 hours behind London, and it's dark/evening there, her very young children's bed time must be 2am at the earliest.
Suggested correction: Which means it's late and time for bed, never had a toddler refuse to go to sleep?
Miles Matheson: We lived in an electric world. We relied on it for everything. And then the power went out. Everything stopped working. We weren't prepared. Fear and confusion lead to panic. The lucky ones made it out of the cities. The government collapsed. Militias took over, controlling the food supply and stockpiling weapons. We still don't know why the power went out, but we're hopeful that someone will come and light the way.
