NBC’s ‘Revolution’ episode 7 preview: Are we about to learn the truth about [spoiler]?

“Revolution” producers have promised throughout the show’s run that they would not keep every secret to themselves for too long, and on Monday it appears as though we could at least be learning the answer to one of the following questions: who is behind the blackout, they the blackout happened, or if there is any way for the power to be restored.

Thus far, there is not exactly much that is known by any of our lead characters save for the ever-mysterious Rachel (Elizabeth Mitchell), who teases in the first promo for the episode below that the time of great revelations is almost at hand. The pendant does somehow hold the answer to many of our questions, and its role will increase so much it will be a character almost all its own.

Without being so cryptic, what we can promise is that Monday’s episode will for sure give us a greater amount of insight into how exactly the blackout began in the first place, even if it does save a key detail here and there for the future. It does seem to be appropriate that this is the perfect time for answers, and fore a number of reasons. Not only are we now in the time of great TV shockers known as the November sweeps, but frustration has started to kick in as of late that this series, despite all of the tremendous hype surrounding it and its high ratings, has failed to really go anywhere in recent weeks. It is actually lucky in many ways to be staying so successful, especially when you have a lead character as polarizing as Charlie is.

Do you have any theories about what sort of surprises could be ultimately coming our way?
