History Awesome / Revolution

* The introduction of Rachel's old friend, Janet. Who flash fries two bandits with a sonic weapon.

-->Neville is out cold.

* Neville [[spoiler:escaping imprisonment.]]

* [[spoiler:Danny's [[DyingMomentOfAwesome dying moment of awesome]], while at the same time [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap rescuing himself from the scrappy heap too]], by taking out Monroe's attack helicopter with a rocket launcher.]]

* Miles vs Monroe.

* The sword-fighting scene in the pilot. Full stop.

* Miles vs Monroe. That is all.

-->Miles: Corporal.
-->Strauser: I'm a sergeant now.
-->Miles: Well, let's be honest, you're a sociopath is what you are. If it weren't for the blackout, they'd have locked you in a rubber room.
-->Strauser: Ever considered that maybe it was society that was sick, and not me?
-->Miles: No. No, never considered that.
* When Strauser tries to force Rachel into a {{Sadistic Choice}} of which of her kids will die, Charlie stands up and demands he kill her instead of Danny. There's no bigger plan behind it as far as we can tell; it's just her making a {{Heroic Sacrifice}} to save the brother she's worked so hard to rescue.
** Followed by Rachel killing Strauser, quite painfully.

* Aaron [[spoiler:faking a suicide, and shooting Drexel when he walks up to him.]]

* Neville's {{Start Of Darkness}}, when he finds his {{Jerkass}} neighbor robbing his house and beats him to death.

* Danny again during "Soul Train". Evident throughout is his lessening fear of Neville. He's even started snarking at him.

** I thought he faked that asthma attack to get the soldier close enough ''to'' strangle him. Still awesome, either way.

* While in the midst of am asthma attack, Danny nearly chokes to death the soldier who abused him all episode with his own chains. Captain Neville even looked impressed.

* Second episode: Charlie catches on that Nate, the militia soldier from the pilot, is following her through the woods. Her response? Pretend to injure her ankle, then handcuff him to a tree when he stops to help her. In other words, a girl with no combat training aside from the occasional hunt just effortlessly subdued a trained soldier.

** Did we mention the same episode ended with ''another'' (albeit shorter) sword-fighting scene?

* The sword-fighting scene. Full stop.

* Maggie tricking a pair of bandits into drinking poisoned whiskey that she carries around just in case, then finishing one off by [[DeathByIrony strangling him with an oxygen mask]].

** And Neville just standing completely calm in the middle of the huge fight, before he ends it with a few well-placed shots.

-->Villager: So go hang yourself.
