As for finding Miles right away, do you really want to waste an episode with the niece walking into shop after shop going, "Do you know Miles? No? OK." "Do you know Miles? No? OK." "Do you know Miles? No? OK." "Do you know Miles? A couple of streets over? OK." "Do you know Miles? A couple of streets the other way? OK."
Other shows may spend a season tracking down the uncle if that's the story they want to tell. Revolution obviously Revolution doesn't want to tell that story. They don't do it because they sit down in the writing room and realize "Damn, realistically it would actually be a long walk so we better put off the story we had in mind and spend the time detailing the characters trek from A to B, where our story starts."

Obviously not, but they keep making giant leaps in the story, ignoring major things and it still doesn't feel like they are at the 'story they want to tell'.
That really is the big problem for me with this. 3 Episodes in and I only have a small idea what story they are trying to tell, and I am the perfect audience for this type of show. Normally I eat this stuff up like a dog chowing down on his own turd, oblivious to how bad it really is.
