Last night, I watched the premiere of the NBC series ‘Revelations’ and I’m not really impressed. That’s mostly because of the fact that the premiere was only one hour long, marginalizing Bill Pullman’s and Natascha McElhone’s (links after pressing the infinity symbol link) highly anticipated acting skills.
Another thing that leaves me thinking is the question, why Revelations? Being (slightly) known with the background of that ominous section of the Bible (and having heard of other films about that subject from scare-crowing relatives), what is the point of these mini-series?
Talking about the Apocalypse, my parent’s encyclopedia (the ever wise WinklerPrins) called the Revelations an insignificant part of the Bible, written by a disciple who was penning down the life, struggle and persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire.
The dragon, Satan, as the Roman Empire: now, that is a view I can live with.
