"Last week Revolution managed to rise above the mediocrity it seemed content with providing us. While a single good episode wasn’t enough to sway my apathy towards the show, it was nice to break up the monotony. “Ties That Bind” stands to keep the series moving forward out of the rut it was stuck in. Unfortunately, even though it was teased that we would find the mysterious reason for the blackout in this episode, it’s not even touched on. Way to go NBC." - David Rhinehart of Geekenstein.com 3/5

I was disappointed that we did not get any information as to why the black out occurred, but I still think this was one of the most solid episode of Revolution yet. When Mia stole the necklace and sold everyone out it took me off guard. And even thought the trick was pretty dirty, everyone in my office at DISH agrees that more writing like this is what Revolution needs! Since everything is building up to the finale pretty quickly I am almost positive that they are going to spill the beans on the next episode and I can’t wait! I am out of town and I just realized I forgot to set it to record today, but I went to DISH Online and set my DVR there so it will be waiting for me when I get back home now.
