Jericho

Who watched it?
Did you like it?

Matt.

I dvr'd it but haven't seen it yet (I seem to post this exact same thing in many threads, lol). Anyway, I will be sure to come back once I've watched it. Did you see it?

yes, i did. i have to say, i actually like it so far. i was worried that it may be overdone (i hate cheesy lines and poor acting) but in my opinion it wasn't. and i think that ulrich will do a fine job as lead actor (or one of the leads, anyway), as well as being believable. (he's kind of cute, too, which can't hurt, right? :p ) i just wonder what he was doing all those 5 years that he was away...???

i only had a few critiques for the show, the first being the rather quick transition from the small town, happy feel to the explosion. i understand that that is the point of the show, but they have an entire season, and they didn't necessarily have to rush. they introduced a lot right away, in my opinion. i would have been comfortable staying in the process of getting to know the characters of the town a little bit longer; not only would it be entertaining, it would have emotionally connected the audeince with the people of jericho a bit better.

the second is for the 'riot' outside of the gas station/supermarket/whatever that was. in my opinion, it happened way too fast. in the matter of a few hours, a community that was supposed to be close knit turned their backs on each other. it doesn't give you much faith; ordinarily, you would expect that they would at least hang together until they all knew about the other explosions, and then they would lose their heads. i also found the mayor's 'speech' at the end awful.

it sounds like i hated it, but like i said, i did enjoy it. i will at least watch it next week, and see where it goes from there.

I thought this premiere was abosolutely awesome. Definitely tivo'ing it all season xD

My god what am I doing that I am missing all of these shows? Oh yeah..homework. Are they replaying it at all?

i know the feeling. i am currently employed at a preschool 5 days a week, a video store on the weekends, and ma taking 16 credit hours at university to boot. not to complain, i actually quite like my full life. it does take away quite a bit from mindless free time, though, i will tell you. it was a miraculous thing that i was able to watch this premiere. i do assume, though, for your benefit and the many others who missed it that they will at some point be replaying it. especially the pilot episodes of brand new shows; they tend to replay those numerous time before the second episode so as to hook more viewers.

^Yeah, but I need to know when so I can, like, set an alarm on my cell phone or something. That's the only way I'll remember. And the TV Guide has been slipping, lately, with when it says they're going to replay certain episodes, so I don't want to trust it.

i checked the cbs website, and it shows that the premiere episode will be playing saturday at 8pm. i assume this is eastern time. hope that helps.

I love this show! It is really good, like I expected it to be. Skeet Ulrich is awesome, and the other actors are quite good too. The scenes in the school bus were quite good, but kinda sad too.

I don't understand Skeet's character yet, but I am sure I will.

Can't wait for next week.

I don't understand Skeet's character yet, but I am sure I will.



exactly. he is clearly supposed to have a definitive air of mystery about him. that makes it fun, i think. i love to let my imagination run wild until i find out the truth. i am sure that week by week we will get closer and closer to the truth. seems like that, as well, as the whole show is going to be quite good.

any thoughts anyone on what exactly ulrich's character was doing all that time...?

I really liked it. I could tell from the preview it was going to be great. I cant wait for the next one!!!clap

damn when is it on? I thought it didn't start for another week about:grumble:

damn when is it on? I thought it didn't start for another week about:grumble:

it will be replaying tonight on cbs at 8pm (i assume it's eastern time). if you get the chance, check it out. if you don't have time tonight, check www.cbs.com to see when they will replay it again, as i'm sure they will.

I caught it tonight! I missed the first around 10 minutes of it, but the rest of it was so compelling! I ignored every call I got, even during the commercials, for fear that I would miss something. Most of the other shows that I watch are good, but I can take them or leave them. This is one of very few that keeps me on the edge of my seat. I cannot wait until Wednesday for the next episode!

Well, I finally watched it, and I must say I was impressed. It seems like it's going to be really interesting. I am already wondering about it, which means I'm probably going to be hooked. My main questions: Who's dropping these bombs? Why did the main guy need the money ("dad can never know")? Where was he all this time? Is that guy who knew all the scientific stuff from the prison bus? What is the deal with the prison bus?
And I couldn't believe when he was saving that little girl...I had to close my eyes.

I thought it was an excellent premiere episode. The premise reminds me of Invasion in a way, with this small town caught up in a disaster cloaked in so much mystery. I liked how Jericho subtlely tied in current terrorism issues so that the audience is left wondering how far in the future this show is set.

Like iheartmywheezy, I would also have liked a little more character development, but I think the writers are trying to keep the action moving. Invasion was kind of a slow burn with really great characters, but the viewers didn't tune in and it was cancelled after the first season. Other popular shows like Lost are so packed with action and mind-boggeling twists; maybe the writers are trying to do that same sort of thing.

I almost didn't watch Jericho because I won't be able to stand it if another new show that I fall in love with gets cancelled. The pilot was amazing, though, so now I'm hooked. Here's hoping that CBS is not as ax-happy as ABC!

HERE HERE! *passes butterbeer around*

i thought tonight's episode was also great.

my one question is this, though: what is the validity of the idea that hiding in a storm shelter while radiation rains down will save you? i don't know anything about it, so it very well may be perfectly valid; i was kind of hoping that someone would know. the only reason why i question it is because they were bent on having some form of air ventilation (which, of course, would make sense...you don't want to get radiation poisoning, but you don't want to suffocate either). wellll, wouldn't that air be coming from outside? why is the air safe? wouldn't it somehow be contaminated by the rain? just curious.

it was pretty good, tonights the second episode for brisbane, which is where i live, i cant wait:drool:

I really liked last night's episode. Loved one of the last scenes with the prison escapees and the girls and Skeet's character. That camera pan, then the guy getting shot was just awesome work. I screamed "Good girl!" when she shot him... loved that!

Still not too sure about the black guy though... during the episode my thoughts went from... Good guy? Then... is he a bad guy? Then... is he CIA?!!!

I'm having doubts about him, too. He seems to know everything that's going on. No person is just randomly prepared for those things, yet he is. And what was up with the Morse Code? Who was typing that to him? *mutters about people randomly knowing Morse Code*

Yeah he is a real mystery, and then he went home to his wife and kids, instead of to any of the shelters.
It is a good show so far though I have enjoyed it.

this show is getting really good. I love it. My brother and I are both into this show and cant wait for next weeks show to get here

Yeah he is a real mystery, and then he went home to his wife and kids, instead of to any of the shelters.

The wife and kids is what shocked me about that scene. That and the fact that he says he's from out of town, but he just randomly has a house to go to? It's a reallysmall town. It's not like people wouldn't notice him moving in. He couldn't have done it without people noticing. That and having it safe from acid rain or radiation or whatever came in that storm? Oh no. Something's fishy about him.

agreed. there is something about him i can't put my finger on. i can tell that the mystery surrounding him will be one of my favorite aspects of the show.

i thought it was great the way they sort of panned in on his wedding ring (i think it was while he was using the radio to contact the 'outside'). i was like, 'oooooh, he's married? what will become of that?' i had no idea it would play out so fast, within the same episode!

Yeah, he's definitely hiding something from the rest of the town. I also got the impression that he's hiding things from his wife, too. I don't remember exactly what it was he said that made me think that. His wife asked him for info about the attack and he refused to answer and just said something like, "The important thing is that you and the kids are safe," or something like that. I wondered why he wouldn't confide in his own wife. And then when he went in that back room and just kept reaching for more and more red pins to put on the map! At first, I thought he was just going to add a couple of cities, but now it looks like it's spread nationwide! Can't wait for the next ep.

that part gave me goosebumps.

i thought it would have been cool if they had panned out and shown the map, all red with those pins. i guess they want to leave us guessing as to exactly how widespread it is, so it makes sense that they didn't. however, it was a whole lot of red pins, anyway, so we already had a good idea. maybe they'll show it next episode, and they wanted to drag it out a bit. it would have been well placed at the end of the last episode, though, in my opinion.

Watched the episode last night, and all it did was make me ask more questions!

The one mysterious black guy... I still don't know what to think about him!

So, the people of Jericho are thinking that the U.S. is at war... it would be a good thought, though. The black boxes scene was my favorite. Loved hearing it all. I guess they are going to find that one girl's fiancee next episode. Probably in a downed airplane. But I have a feeling he is already dead.

Can't wait for next episode.

saw it on thursday, pretty cool, saw the radiation suit, but what happened to those escaped criminals and is that deaf girls brother gonna die, cant wait, END OF HOLIDAYS NOOOOOOO:grumble:

I was very interested in what the black guy was taking and hiding in his basement and why he was getting the bricks and cement to build around it.
And also was China just reporting the news about the bombs or were they responsible?? Weird how everyone was so worries about the radiation coming in the rain but it didn't seem to have had an effect at all... :-s

I'm really getting hooked on this show. I don't trust that guy, either, though I almost think he is working for the U.S. government in some respect. I mean, what was he doing outside in that suit stealing something (cement?) during the rain? Weird. I was glad that kid found the train load of supplies at the end.

Everyone seems to think the black ex cop is a bad guy but I kinda' feel like he's actually a good guy.

I could be shot down and proven completely wrong in the end!

What I really hate is that Wednesday night tv is saturated with all these shows I want to watch at the same time and my DVR will only record two at a time!

There's LOST, and JERICHO, the second part of Dancing With the Stars, and that new show The Nine which is like 24 on steroids....and now to add to the mix Ghosthunters on SciFi.....what is a mother to do?????

They should move some of these shows to Friday and Saturday since there isn't anything worth watching on those nights....LOL

I'm done ranting!

I hear you on this. I usually end up watching Jericho on Saturday because I just can't sit still long enough to watch everything I want on Wednesday (and there's no chance Lost will be what I don't watch). I watched the first half of the pilot of the nine and decided not let myself get into it because I seem to be watching more tv this year than ever before! People always say tv has gotten so bad, but there are more things on that I like now than there ever have been.

People always say tv has gotten so bad, but there are more things on that I like now than there ever have been.

I know, what's up with that? I hadn't watched anything on "network" tv in YEARS, aside from Survivor which I really love. And then all of a sudden they seem to have started to produce some shows worth the time.

As far as The Nine...that first episode was nonstop! I was distracted while tonight's episode was on, but it's on dvr so I can watch it later.

Sorry for the digression, Jericho fans...

So there is something devious about the black ex cop ( I just can't seem to remember what his name is on this show). I still can't decide whether he's a good guy or a bad guy. Why would his wife and kids go along with all this deception if he was evil?

I understand why his kids would not be too thrilled with him, after all, they are just kids and they've apparently had to suffer parent "deprival" for a long time. And the girl just wants to be a regular teenager, even in spite of all the chaos going on.

That Skyler chick is a real piece of work. What a dingbat! Ok, the country has just suffered multiple nuclear attacks, your parent's are dead and so what do you do? That's right, let's have a party!!! And even in the face of all the calamity you still pick and choose who you think is most "popular".

She's too stupid to survive!

And poor Dale, why he even likes her at all is the biggest mystery. So she's cute or whatever....who cares? The world is coming to an end as far as they know, his mom has just died too, and he still cares what that twit thinks about him!

All the little love story sidelines are getting to be a bit annoying. It makes me think of one of my favorite movies, "Team America, World Police" where this kind of nonsense is ridiculed as it should be.

I don't think people would be worrying about broken relationships like that if they were really faced with the reality of a nuclear holocaust...I think survival mode would take over. But...this is just a tv show...for now!

Okay...I missed it tonight because I got distracted 10 minutes before it came on and forgot all about it. What happened?

Girlfriend, you should know it's too much going on to say what happened....and even if anyone could tell you, there's all the unknown factors.

If you have comcast digital it's available On Demand...otherwise check the website to see if they have the shows available.

It's so much better to watch it for yourself than to rely on what anyone else can tell you.

I know...it's my sister's fault. *sigh* I don't have cable. I'll hope they play it this weekend. Sometimes they play it on Saturdays for no reason at all except to take up the empty time. *crosses fingers*

Well you can go on the website and see if it's scheduled to rerun. Chances are it will be. Network tv is starting to take it's cues from Cable....rerun shows so that people who missed it the first time can catch up.

Duh!!! No brainer, network tv!

:lol: So right the cable networks are. Some of us are just absentminded...or we get pulled away.

nah...not that we're absentminded (although I am guilty as charged)...it's just that there's so much other stuff going on....I was watching Jericho on one tv and trying to monitor Dancing With the Stars on another. I couldn't watch LOST on HD cuz I had it on network and another show recording at the same time on dvr and you can't watch anything else while you have two shows recording at the same time! And if the show the tv tells you that you have to watch while it's recording or else you have to cancel the other recording, then you are stuck!

It's Comcastic!

Oops! I digressed! Sorry!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

depending on the quality of your internet connection, it actually works wonderfully. i have had to work the last two wednesdays and have missed the show. the first time, i was home and watched it on demand on comcast. this past weekend, though, when i had the time to watch it- i was staying over someone else's place. i watched it on the laptop and it was great. you should give it a try.

OK, I see that some of you haven't seen the episode from Wednesday yet, so don't read this post. SPOILERS (i still can't do the spoiler tags, don't ask me why).
I just want to say...that was very disturbing with all those dead bodies of the refugees from Denver. And I am thoroughly confused by the relationship between the guy who was dying in the hospital and the ex-cop. At least now Jake's sister in law is mad at her husband, so maybe she won't be too crushed when she figures out he's cheating on her (I can't remember anyone's name on this show, sorry).

OK, I know it's a tv show, and I must admit, I really like it. But I just think I would like to see a little more "panic" and distress going on instead of all these people worrying about their "relationships" in the midst of this nuclear disaster.

My jury is still out on Hawkins, the black ex cop. I can't tell if he's a villain or a hero. I think the producers are trying to point us toward villain...so therefore, he must be a good guy!

I didn't recognize the language of the website he was on so if anyone has an idea, it would be good to know.

There was plenty of action on tonight's episode, but I don't think it moved us forward as to what's going on.

I'm still interested, though, so I'll keep tuning in.

I have seen the one episode. Today was the first time I watched it. I liked it a lot. But I got so confused.

I think this show will be a new obession. I am very interested in the pasts of both Skeet Ulrich's character (Jake?) and Mr. Hawkins (IF that is his REAL name...*suspicious glance*)

Okay, first things first... loved last night's episode!!! This episode was action packed, with fires and stuff, but there was also mystery and suspence. First mystery thing of the show... what the heck did Mr. Hawkins find?!!! And was that Skeet Ulrich's character? It looked like him.

I still think Hawkins is a bad guy. But he could be good...

Next week's episode looks great. Lots of violence, I see.. lol.

LOVE THIS SHOW!!! It is nearing the point of obsession.

Hey the ep that just aired here in Aus was the one where the Library was on fire. I am asuming this also has aired in the states About 12 hours before we saw it as you guys have all said it airs on Wednesdays. (It airs Thursday here) Anway we are suposed to get the episodes in the same week.

At the end of tonights that bar kinda shook and they went outside and looked up at the sky. Was it a Jet or something that flew over, I missed what it was. Also when they guy was looking up passports, was he looking up Jakes, and what was the big deal? ( I have kinda missed or not being much attention to it, tonight was the first night I really enjoyed it)

I think that I will get bored with it though, IMO it would have worked better as a mini series, maybe 6 weeks or so.

I think it was some kind of plane... and I bet it had more nukes. Now for which side... US or bad guys... hard to say.

Yeah, Hawkins was looking up something and he found Jake's passport, but it was under a different name. I think it was a mexican name. There is something fishy there.

I keep waiting to watch this show on Saturdays and then it is torture when I come on this message board and can't open this thread! Anyway, i think Jake's passport was on a list of "flagged" passports. Are they trying to make us think he knows all of this because he's been involved with something shady (by the way, it was nice that his dad "didn't need to hear it" but I do, lol). Anyway, I was cracking up when he said something mechanical/technical to the brother of the deaf girl (I'm so bad at names) and he said "You're freaking me out, how do you even know that?" and Jake said "How do you not?" rotl, seriously.
Do you guys think that the fact that Hawkins could access the internet means he works for the government?

OK, here is the scoop from TV Guide for next week:

"....missiles streaking over the sky.....Tonight the townspeople are really unsettled to learn the federal government is inoperative and that the missiles have been launched nearby."

And to saz, it appears you are getting the current episodes, same as ours here in the US.

I don't know who that Hawkins fella' is. I like the mystery surrounding him.

Before everyone goes all crazy with talk about tonight's episode, here's something from the TV Guide about the Sweeps episode (Sweeps being November Sweeps):

In order to save their flu-stricken father, Jake and Eric must leave jericho to retrieve medicine in the ruins of a town that didn't survive the nuclear attacks. At last, scenes from the apocalypse. Bring on the zombies! [This episode airs on November 8]

I think that Hawkins is involved in some way. I am not sure how yet, but I almost wonder if he knew that this was going to happen??? He knew the man that came from the other town. He knows something and I cant wait to see what it is.:huh: I want to know who is the one attacking???????

After tonights episode we found out that he is working for the government. I can't wait until the next episode. It always leaves me hanging. After the girl walked into Hawkins room, I new he would show up. What do you thikn will happen in the next episode??

I was a bit disappointed in Dale in tonight's episode, but I think he redeemed himself. I guess he was just looking for some kind of protection for the store and found it in all the wrong places.

And the dimwit dingbat came to bail him out, I guess that was sweet.:shrug:

I hope Eric and April make it up, even tho we are in the middle of a nuclear holocaust and all we have to really think about is our failing marriage and a love affair....GAG ME! (wish there was an icon for 'vomit')

Jake should have killed that creep who stole the horses...but then we wouldn't have any drama to look forward to!

This one work cazzaranda http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/images/smilies/puke.gif

The last episode was great opened alot of doors. Also we learned a bit more about Jakes dark past.

Next weeks episode looks really really good, with the news that New York survived. The girl will be so happy, Dale will be crushed though. Curious as to how those two will act after the news is announced.

Before I say this, I'll give a disclaimer - I'm in a grumpy mood. OK, aren't we far enough in for "Previously on Jericho" to not include everything since the beginning? If people are only starting to watch it now, they're not going to get it. I'm annoyed by watching a rehash of everything every week. Pretty soon, "previously" will be twenty minutes long. Sheesh.
OK, now that I got that out of my system...last night's episode was great (I finally saw it on Wednesday, yay!).

I really like the show, though I wish they would answer a few more questions. I guess some of the questions will be answered next week, with the return of some of the ones who left to get information about the surrounding area. It really seems, though, that they are not "doing anything". They just sit around the bar, wasting time, and waiting for thier turn to die. No one, except for the first few, have left to get more information. They have gone, now, over 2-3 weeks, and they are just fighting fires and themselves. That is what makes me mad. Other than that, I think that the show is great. All of the speculation of who and what Jake and Mr. Hawkins, is great, which I am sure they will drag that out.

That is my 2 cents...

i watched and my dad is part farmer and he said that proberly that the husks would protect the corn but the bugs, that was bad, visual effects in this show A++++++++++++++++++++ they are amazing
my favourite bit "Heya Uncle Sam how you going"
"Dont call me that"
"well you work for the goverment taxes"
"look heres the deal you owe the goverment alot of money so if you letme bunk with you i will deduct money"
"Do i still get to call you uncle sam?"
"Whatever"

it went something like that, but is was :lol:

LOL...this just cracked me up! :lol:

Yeah, it's annoying, but lots of shows do it. I think they are just trying to point out which story lines will be important in the upcoming episode. And to be honest, I'm kinda' glad they do it because I have so many shows floating around in my head, it's nice to have a refresher course just so I remember what I've already seen. It just seems like a "week" between episodes seems like a month anymore.

Oh and hey! Alaska Paul....that vomit smilie thing isn't a default CoS one, otherwise I would have used it too! LOL I'm not savvy enuf to know how to do that!

You're right. I realized later that Lost was actually going back to last season with theirs. I think I was just in a snippy mood when I posted that. It appears to be over now!:D

so the girl is in love with main character and the other girls father is a crime lord, i think
good veiwing,cant wait till next episode:drool:

I guess we're starting to see what's going on with Jake's past, though I still wonder where he was before the show started. I do think it's starting to be overkill with the romantic elements of the show. Wouldn't we have more important things to think about? I guess on the other hand, I would want to keep my loved ones close, but....I don't know. At first I was peeved about school teacher girl (what is up with me not remembering names?) kissing Jake, but then I thought about it and realized in an intense situation I might kiss him myself. He does have that rugged, mysterious, hero/anti-hero thing going. Hmm..
I must say that my opinion of the teenaged girl has changed somewhat. I sort of like her now. I think maybe she was just acting the way she was before in an effort to keep things the way they used to be. I hope her parents really are alive. I thought the shop keeper lady was being a little bit of a b word with the whole music box thing. I was glad the kid stood up to her and said she wouldn't have a store if it wasn't for him.

I'm not sure I can withstand more Jericho. It's painfully bad and getting worse by the week. I wanted to like this show and have been watching it every week, but man oh man is it bad.

It's like someone decided All My Children needed a mushroom cloud in the background for one episode just to stir up more drama in an already drama-filled town.

I guess I kind of expected a more Day After approach when the show first aired, not the soap opera it has become.

I can't say I disagree. I've been complaining about the "relationship" dramas since early on.

I'm sticking with it, tho. I suppose even in times of great crisis, personal relationships will still have a place.

That being said, I can't believe Eric would be such a jerk to leave April after he found out that she's pregnant! Or did he??? She never actually got around to telling him. I would think the mother would have said something to him, but you never know, maybe she assumed April told him and he knew.

(what a soap opera...LOL)

There are still some elements of a doomsday scenario going on....like the Ravenswood guys.

I don't know, I have mixed feelings. It IS like a soap opera (but what show isn't these days???) but you start to get to "know" the characters and you kind of want to see what happens next. And anyway, there isn't anything better in it's time slot (don't shoot me if you have a favorite that is on another network or cable or whatever) so what the heck, eh?

It would be nice if the show had an...I don't know...a more apocalyptic feel to it. I'm not saying it needs to be like The Road Warrior, or even The Day After Tomorrow, but geez people, nuclear freakin' bombs got dropped all over the country. You would think a small town caught in the middle would start having some serious health, food shortage, fuel, and marauding outsider crises, rather than the "Oh my God, I was supposed to get married today" crisis, or the "My cellphone stopped working, how will I get my party started?" crisis that the town seems to overflow with on a day to day basis.

I don't expect a TV series to be remotely accurate with regards to science, but most 9 year olds know an electromagnetic pulse occurs directly after the bomb hits, and not four weeks after the fact. There are tribes in remote New Guinea who know more about the effects of nuclear fallout better than the writers of this show. And come on, do we really care about any of these people? I've been hoping the teenagers would all die because they're about as integral to the plot as the San Diego Zoo is to Goblet of Fire.

And someone *please* kill off the farmer and the IRS agent. I don't think I can stand either of those two in another scene together eating Wheat Squares.

Wow, I used to think I was the most cynical person on planet earth, but I think I met my match...LOL

Well, I think they've been experiencing all the health crises, food shortages and mauraders, unless I've been watching a different show than you, Sredni.
The other parts I assume are to get the audience to somehow "identify" with the regular guy. I don't know who those regular guys are, but I sure as heck wouldn't be worried about some of the stupid trivia that's portrayed on this show, that's for sure.

You are killing me here. I don't know anything about the electromagnetic pulse thing, but I think it's something that can happen independant of a nuclear blast (well, it happened on 24 anyway...LOL)...you are the silicon valley person, so I defer to you on that one. As far as the teens, I guess it's there to hold a teen audience to the show. It's also a vehicle for a "good v. evil" scenario. And perhaps for a redemption scenario as well. I don't mind that thread in the show.
And someone *please* kill off the farmer and the IRS agent. I don't think I can stand either of those two in another scene together eating Wheat Squares.

OK, I am SO with you on killing off the IRS agent, but that has NOTHING to do with the show....LOL...I like the farmer and his deaf sister...they are kinda' like the hillbilly factor put in to satisfy middle america or something. I'm from middle america and they seem just fine to me. Just regular folks trying to make sense of an insane world.

Yeah, I know. I think part of the problem lies with the fact that all these people at least *vaguely* know there has been a nuclear holocaust that has wiped several U.S. cities off the map, so there is little likelihood anyone will contact them from the outside yet they continue squandering their meager resources on stupid things like Halloween celebrations, keeping the bar open (though I'd probably be perpetually drunk after the country gets nuked, too), and allowing teenagers to have their friday night parties.

You'd think they'd be sending more folks into the great unknown to scavenge and loot nearby towns for food, fuel, and medical supplies instead of waiting till it's almost too late. A case in point: the Mayor's internal organs are shutting down from some rampant infection he's got. Rather than send out search and loot parties the first week after the bombs hit, they wait till the mayor's at Death's Door before going off in an almost fruitless search for medications that may or may not exist anymore.

And to top it off, they didn't make sure those guys at the next town were dead before they left. They had the firepower to pick the Ravenswood guys off one by one, Seargant York style, but they completely botched it and alerted those guys to their presence.

SuperSkeet always manages to save the day. Boy is he ever mysterious.

Like I say, I have tried to like the show. I wanted to like it. But it gets more and more laughable each week. I can't wait for the show where they decide to focus on life before the bombs in the town.

To the writers of the show: I don't care. I don't want to know what these people's lives were like before the holocaust. Just show me some good ol' apocalyptic nuclear nastiness. And stop making Skeet out to be Superman.

I also don't care about your cheatin' husband and the doctor. Don't care, don't care, don't care.

But like a trainwreck with lots of casualties, I will probably keeping watching this show.

Whoah, Sredni, take a chill pill... ha ha!

Can I make an assumption by your signature that you might have "issues"?
I have issues, too, but that's irrelevant! Some of my issues are in my signature, too. For now.

Ok, I am playing devil's advocate in support of the show.

Remember that in the beginning the folks of Jericho didn't know that other towns across the US had been hit. They assumed only Denver had. They live in Kansas. So therefore, it might seem plausible that they didn't think to run off to different places to pillage and scavange and loot.

As far as the Mayor, it wasn't obvious that his organs were shutting down immediately. They thought he had a cold or the flu. As soon as they found out it was more serious, they went off to the next big town to look for meds.

Maybe they didn't kill off all the Ravenswood guys there because their mission was to get the meds and get back to Jericho ASAP to save Johnston. And the fact that they left behind the address was obviously a mistake when Eric left his jacket behind. Not intentional.

I agree with your statements about the Halloween party and the teenagers going wild, but the kids were soon taken to task, and the Halloween stuff, well, it was seasonal for it's airing time and if you had all that junk lying around, why not use it to make the folks feel "normal" for a time?

"Skeet" is just the mystery meat. He's the guy you love as a hero, but has a dark and mysterious past. Come on, we all love a good mystery!

I think you might be a bit harsh in your critism of this show. It's not meant to be a Hollywood doomsday blockbuster. It's just a silly show on network TV. And for network TV, I would rather watch this than most of the junk they produce. I was hoping for something better,too. But it's not the worst thing I've ever seen.

Oh yeah, and I was watching another movie today which had an electro magnetic pulse being generated by blowing up some electrical transformers....LOL....of course, I get all my scientific data from watching Hollywood movies and tv shows...Hee!

To address a few things: the sig is from an episode of Roseanne, a pretty good show for its time.

Skeet knew the Ravenswood characters were bad news. Granted the wounded guy kind of messed things up for everyone by blowing their cover right away but there weren't more than a dozen of them, and the four people in the hospital had the element of surprise. I still say they could have picked off the Ravenswood guys one by one. They had the firepower.

Maybe I am being a little harsh on the show, but when it started off it had so much potential, but the writers decided they would take it into the typical "people prefer a soap opera" direction. I agree there must be drama in a drama, but there needs to be more conflict than just who slept with whom, and who owes who money. They really don't spend enough time elaborating on the Hawkins character (who started out *very* interesting), or what Jake's actually been doing for the last five years that turned him into such a Superman. Instead we're treated to someone freaking about about her wedding, people chatting in the bar about their adulterism, and other nonsense.

Here's how a typical episode draws out:
Beginning: A snippet about the nuclear war.
Middle: The town gears up for cheerleading tryouts and is horrified to learn that the lead cheerleader's bra fastener is broken.
End: A tantalizing 30 seconds showing imminent danger to the town.

An exaggeration? Perhaps a little. But you can't deny they really don't dwell on the dangers lurking in and outside the town as much as they should, considering they all know the truth about the country by now. Most of them live in that bar, the bar that uses a lot of fuel to stay open and keep its TVs on; TVs that have shown exactly one useful snippet of information in over a month.

Yes, it's okay that the writers want to convey the townsfolk as trying to lead normal lives, but the impression I get is the whole bombing of the country is just a minor inconvenience to these folks.

Sredni, you are so funny! I really love your assesment of this show and I don't really disagree with you on too much.

I am in total agreement with your take on the "Hawkins" character. They really teased us with him and his family and then only gave us bread crumbs as to what he's really all about. I'm still not sure what he is or knows or why he moved to Jericho or anything.

Jake...aka Skeet...we are learning a little more about every week. We still don't know the whole story, but every show needs a "hero" and I think he's going to be it. The dark past only makes him more intriguing.

I was looking at the preview for next week and it looks like they find out that the enemy is the Chinese (either that, or they are trying to send help to the U.S. after some other enemy hit us...who knows) and that one of the characters bites the dust. If you are lucky, it will be farm boy Stanley.

I didn't mean anything about that comment on your sig. I wondered where I had heard that before. I wonder if Roseanne is still channeling some alien spirit/being. She did an interview with Larry King recently and she is really OUT THERE! Tom Arnold got out just in time, apparently!!!:lol:

To address a few things: the sig is from an episode of Roseanne, a pretty good show for its time.

For its time! This made me feel old, old, old!

OK, I do have to say that Jericho has its faults and you guys are right on target with them. I'm still watching, though. I think I'm hooked on its potential. I'll at least give it until the fall finale. I think the focus on the people instead of the war or attack or whatever it is is an attempt to get us to care about the people. Maybe they're trying to balance suspense with character development like Lost, but they're not doing it as skillfully :D . Oh, well. I'm entertained, for the time being. Things about it bother me, but I can't muster up any actual contempt for it. I was feeling a little bit like "Give me a break, now they've thrown a pregnancy into the mix," but then I saw how badly it was being trashed on here and it started to remind me of this girl who used to be in my gym class in high school - I didn't think she was that terrific and she certainly wasn't athletic, but when I noticed how all the other kids made fun of her, I started picking her for my team all the time. Something about the underdog...I wouldn't want Skeet to come on here and cry any tough boy tears. So, I'm watching at least until the finale, which just may have enough of a cliffhanger to bring us back.

Skeet probably knows the writing on the show is atrocious, but he needs the work so he keeps appearing on the show. He's a tough guy and can probably take all of our criticisms. In fact, I'd be surprised if half the actors on the show weren't secretely making fun of the show, or expecting it to get cancelled by the middle of next season anyway.

From what I've read about Skeet, I'm probably not far off the mark here. The guy deliberately chowed down on an onion before a big kissing scene in one of his movies. I bet that went over well with the actress he was working with at the time.

:lol: That's a great story.

For its time! This made me feel old, old, old!

You're only 30, for pete's sake! You don't know from old!
Anyway, old is just a state of mind, not a number. At least that's what I keep telling myself...hee!

Yeah, I'll keep watching too. I've invested too much time in this show just to hang up on it. I wouldn't call it "atrocious" but it's true that it's level is nowhere near that of Lost.

I thought that whole wedding scenario was the worst plot line of the season so far. I can see where they were going with it, that the blonde babe had a former relationship with Skeet, uh....Jake....and all the inuendo about how she knew she didn't really want to marry the other guy all along because presumably she is still in love with Jake. Corny, I know, but it wasn't TOTALLY pointless.

When I think back to pilot episode, how intense it was and how it made you want to come back for more, it's sad that it's taken a turn for the tedious, but I guess creative minds are hard to come by in tv land and all the good ones are working on Lost, 24 and take your pick of whatever you like best.

Maybe it can still redeem itself, who knows? One thing's for sure, we'll never know unless we keep watching.

If you want more about Skeet's questionable habits, read his bio on IMDB.com. Some of it is pretty funny.

I would like the show to go back to the intensity of the pilot. While I don't mind a little soap opera with my nuclear holocaust drama, I do think they can tone it down a bit. As I've said already, I *really* want to like this show, but the writers are not making it easy.

Well, next episode it seems they get back to the dangers and the whole who? and why? thing. But I agree that the whole romance part was really tearing me down, but I think they used that to get us to care about the characters and know they're history and backstory (at least a lil bit). I mean, why would we care if someone died if we didn't care about them?

Of course, this backfired a bit because I don't care who dies. I've been expecting at least a death or two anyway.

Well you personally may not care, but there others who do. You can't please everyone you know.

It would make me care more if the farmer boy caught in the fallout rainstorm from the remains of Denver had actually had Radiation Poisoning. The fact that he's completely okay just baffles the mind. Drama around a loveable dying oaf who owns the corn farm up the road would be better TV than watching fluff about this jerk who wants to leave his wife for a bar maid.

At least that would fit more in context with a show about a nuclear holocaust.

I've said it before and it merits repeating: these people act as if the bombs dropping were merely just a minor inconvenience compared to their normal day to day dramas.

Farmer boy has a deaf sister, and I was kind of hoping that something would center around her. I mean, what's the point in throwing in a deaf girl if you don't have some kind of plot surrounding her life? There was an episode early on that was quite good when the deaf girl and one of the other female characters (who are SO memorable I can't remember any of them) were stuck in the farmhouse with those two evil gun toting dudes. But she's been a nowhere girl ever since.

They should move around some of the other characters more. I'm tired of idiot Eric and Mary...and yeah, that bar being open all the time is ridiculous. They have an endless supply of booze, it seems.

That last "wedding" episode frosted me because the bimbos opened the last bottle of single malt scotch and vowed to drink the whole thing. First of all, what a waste of fine alcohol, something to be savored, not chugalugged. And a bottle of scotch between two or three bimbos would have them all pretty wasted if they even could finish it. At least they didn't put it "on the rocks"...that would have been a real travesty!

Yep, a nuclear holocaust across the country sure is minor inconvenience to these folks.

The deaf girl/convicts scene had a lot of potential, but due to time constraints (I'm sure), the writers didn't dwell on what could have been an extremely tense, intriguing and well drawn out episode. I would have prefered not to have Skeet show up in the nick of time. The two women should have tried to fight off the convicts by themselves.

It would have been pretty nifty, for example, to see the hearing chick (yeah, I can't remember character names either) blast that one dude in the face. It's amazing what you can imply without actually showing it, so they could have had a grusome rifleshot in the face death without having it on screen. It's a pretty common trick in the movies.

Once the one guy was splattered all over the livingroom wall, the other guy would panic and try something stupid, and somehow the deaf girl would lock him in a painful titty twist or something and the hearing girl could butt him in the head with the rifle stock.

Then the two women could have staggered into the town square all bloodied up and bruised, and just exchange knowing smirks as they refuse to divulge what happened. Fade to black.

Really. I should write for the show. The ratings would be huge. :D

Really. I should write for the show. The ratings would be huge.

I was going to suggest that as I read the first paragraphs of your post...LOL

Have you ever considered that as a career move???

I bet you tune in tomorrow night...!!!:p

Unfortunately not. I've been spoiled by OnDemand until recently and was watching it the next evening sans commercials. For whatever reason OnDemand is no longer airing Jericho, and I really prefer to indulge in my guilty pleasure, America's Next Top Model.

I'll probably catch the rest of Jericho on reruns next season, if CBS decides to air reruns. At this point in time, this looks like it won't be the case. We're getting King of Queens reruns in its place until the show reairs sometime in February.

I actually watched the first two episodes of Jericho on CBS.com so I am guessing you can still see them there if you want to.

I'm guessing if you have On Demand,then you must have Comcast or some cable provider. I swear by my DVR...it has a dual tuner so I can record two shows at a time. Otherwise I would never get to see some of the shows I normally like to watch. It's totally worth the ten bucks a month I pay for it.

I would hate that you missed the next episode, which looks like it might be fairly decent, and your cogent analysis. Aren't you in the least bit curious what all the Chinese drops are about and who gets KILLED??????

Well, if you choose not to watch it, just tune in here...I'm sure there will at least be me and maybe someone else who still wants to talk about it.

I think that if you're still gonna watch it, please stop complaining. If you don't like the show because because it's not going the way you want it to go, then why waste your time and continue watching? Watch something else that you like better.

Well, if you choose not to watch it, just tune in here...I'm sure there will at least be me and maybe someone else who still wants to talk about it.

I will totally be here :D

I think that if you're still gonna watch it, please stop complaining.

I think part of the discussion about a subject, in this case a tv show, will always include some sort of criticism. There is plenty to criticize about this program. This thread would be pretty boring (and also pretty much non existant) if it were all accolades about how wonderful the show is because it obviously has many flaws. It's not the worst show that was ever put on television, and I keep looking for the best in it, but it's not fair to say someone is "complaining" when they are just pointing out the obvious.
I will totally be here
Hey, hey! I knew you were there somewhere Rav!

Onto the episode...

I think this was a fairly decent episode tonight. I almost felt bad for all the peeps of Jericho having to eat....whatever it was they were eating...when tomorrow is Thanksgiving and it's safe to say that most of us watching are going to be indulging ourselves in all kinds of wonderful stuff.

I don't think we have any real answers as to who was behind the food drop. According to Hawkins, it was the U.S. using Russian 1970's aircraft dropping Chinese supplies.....or something along those lines....GO FIGURE! I'm still scratching my head over that!

I thought it was great that the blonde chick who's name I can never remember went and hijacked the truck with the "gennie" on it. She's got one set of ...you know....on her!!!!

And so Eric, that weasel, finds out his "wife" is preggo and still insists on being with that smarmy bar maid. Oh yeah, well....he'll be there for the kid...what a crock!

Well, at least the issue of how much booze is left in her bar was touched on.

And call me a hopeless romantic, but I just loved that Stanley (the farmer) and what's her name the IRS babe finally decided to get....intimate! I know we all saw that coming a mile away, but finally!!!

And where was Bonnie, the deaf girl all this time? She couldn't have been up in her room listening to her Ipod, cuz she's deaf! Maybe she was up there reading "War and Peace" or something.

I liked that they finally made Hawkins seem like a regular guy to his family who obviously are rather perturbed with him over his frequent abscences. That whole bit with the Christmas lights and the generator almost reminded me of "It's a Wonderful Life"....Jericho in Bedford Falls....until I had to endure the agony of watching Eric and Mary going to town...in town!

And then, just as the show was ending and I remembered that someone was supposed to "die" in this episode, I thought...OH NO...they ripped us off just like in "Heroes" with the hype! And then at the eleventh hour......YIKES!!!!

I can't say that I'm too sorry over it, I didn't like that character very much anyway. But someone is going to have to PAY for that!

Next week is the season finale, so we'll have to see what that's all about.

Until then, Happy Thanksgiving to all fans of Jericho!

:wow:WHOA!:wow: I did not see that ending coming. I wonder if it was Jonah or Mitchel.

Can't wait for the season finale, so much left to answer though I'm a tad worried.

I did not see that ending coming. I wonder if it was Jonah or Mitchel.

I'm betting on Mitchell...he gave her the death smile from hell when he was escorted out of there!

I'm betting on Mitchell...he gave her the death smile from hell when he was escorted out of there!

I agree, but more so because Johan is to smart to be that stupid. I suspect Johan's gang to turn against him, and then him to help Jericho bring his whole gang down.

It's very early in the morning, so if this is not coherent, forgive me.
1. The best part was Emily stealing that truck. Jake so wants her now (not that he didn't before).
2. I noticed that the brown haired girl who wants Jake was suspiciously missing from this episode.
3. I'm glad that lady from the store was the one to go; she has been really bugging me since the episode with the corn supply.
4. Eric - both of those women are too good for you. I hope next Thanksgiving your colicky infant throws up on you while your ex-wife and ex-mistress are playing football with the brother who got all the attractive genes.

What on earth happened to Dale and friend? The last I remember seeing of them was when she said he could stay with her after being kicked out of the shop. I hope it doesnt go all lost like and have to many unanswered question at one time.

I know Dale will be back next week, so I suspect we will see his little girlfriend then.

Just aheads up to everyone Jericho will not be ending Nov 29th, it will simply be taking a break till Febuary leaving us with a major cliff hanger for 2 months. :grumble:

Yesterday at Thanksgiving dinner my nephew told me that he had heard the show had been cancelled. I hope this isn't true.

And the concensus amongst my family members who also watch this show agreed that it needs to lose the soap opera feel to it, otherwise, in general everyone likes it enough to keep watcing.

ROFL....my sentiments exactly!!!

I do try :D

I hope not, too. According to this website:

http://blogs.brilliantbutcancelled.com/deathwatch_watch/

Jericho will be on for the whole season (I don't know how reliable it is; it's supposedly the "death watch" for cancelled shows).

Jericho will not be cancelled it is their biggest show, its got higher ratings then CSI NY.

I said it was complaining because there was no "I didn't like this much but I liked this alot, they could improve on this but keep this, ect." going on.

There was "I didn't like this, this, or this, the story should go like this, why didn't they talk about this, why is this person still there, I should write for the show instead, it would make me care more if I saw this, there should be less of this..." you get my point. I was seeing an abundance of negativity to the point where someone said the only reason they were still watching was because they invested too much time in it to stop. I say, if it's that hard to stand just quit watching. Nothing serious.

As for the last episode, I sure didn't expect who died to die! And as for the Chinese being allies it still leaves the questionas to who did the bombing in the first place and why. Maybe it was N. Korea!

I haven't seen this week's show yet, but I suspect the Sparkle Motion lady bit it.

I suppose I do come off as a bit of a complainer, but honestly I have tried very hard to like the show and keep watching it in hopes that it will get better. Apart from the silliness of an only bridge out of town in a town that is *landlocked*, the week before wasn't terrible, though the wedding flashbacks were a bit "after school special" for my taste.

My points are valid, however. The people in this town should not be acting as if the nuclear holocaust is just a minor inconvenience. Seriously, that's the impression I get from every character with the exception of Jake and Hawkins. I'm sure if this show survives another season the writing will get better and we'll start to see some exciting post-nuclear nastiness going on, rather than the soap opera who slept with whom and who is leaving whom scenarios.

I was hoping Jake would be smart and just blow the bridge with the ravenwood guys on it.

I think that with the lack of help and information they are doing the best they can. At least they haven't completely lost it. It actually make me more annoyed if everyone was screaming "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!!!" for the entire show. Everything in their neck of the woods is fine (so far), and I think they are handling it quite well. There really is so much they can do, seeing as how dangerous it is outside the town as we have seen so far. And the problems that existed before the bombs such as the affairs & cheating aren't likely to go away afterward, especially seeing as Jericho is the kinda town where everyone knows everyone. If anything, the bombs would make everything worse because people would think "I don't know how long we'll be alive and so I wanna empty out the skeletons in my closet so everything is out on the table". They are regular Middle America townspeople afterall, there's not much they can do without more means to do it with and information.

Last weeks episode was probably the best so far, especially the ending. However, Airplanes from the 70's are dropping food and supplies from China over American airspace with fliers saying that "China is your friend". So we might be able to say that China is not behind the attacks, unless they poisoned the food:shrug:

Well, I'm not sure about that. People do tend to drop supplies and propaganda on the enemy, right? Didn't we do that durning desert storm (I may be wrong. I'll attempt to confirm). I think it will be a while before we know who really did it.
I do think you have a valid point, Bayou, about their relationship problems not going away. I was complaining about it to my sister and she made the comment that if something like that really happened, our families and the people we love would be more important to us than ever before. She also commented that many people would keep up with regular life because they would want to feel as secure as possible and wouldn't want to feel like they had lost their entire way of life. I'm not sure if I buy it, but it does make the events of Jericho seem more plausible. I'm actually psyched about the "fall finale."

This show has the wroste actors, well most suck, the only good ones are the one family that the dad works for the goverment or something. The storyline seems okay they just have the stupid lines, the good thing though is my sister never watches the show when its on she records it so she can fast forward through all the stupidity and bad acting, and I think its dumb they think the food is "posioned"(sp) if China whated to hurt them they would bomb them:grumble: why would they go through the trouble of wasting food???????

Because war isn't only bombing the opposition. Have you considered that it could be the second wave of the attack? If the food is poisoned, that would cause a national epidemic, making us extremely vulnerable for an invasion and/or another bombardment of bombings.

I still don't see the point.

Actually, there is a point. If you don't know where food is coming from, you're going to question it. If you know where it's from and doubt their good intent (and the flyers sent with the food are trying too hard to instill trust) you're going to question it. How many times has the U.S. dropped supplies and food on war-torn countries, only to have the people throw the food away? It happens. A lot.

This is one time I think the writers may have done their homework, and kudos to them. The episode was enjoyable to watch for once because it wasn't all drama about something trivial (like anything to do with how bored the teenagers are, etc.).

The IRS lady had the right idea, though. Keep the chocolate for herself and let people worry about all the rest of the food. It's also good to see someone's karma catching up to them. Buh-bye, Sparkle Motion lady.

On the one hand, yeah, eat the chocolate...but who knows what could be lurking inside that chocolate???

I'm still curious about your assesment of the "Sparkle Motion" lady...unless I missed something early on, we all know who you're talking about, but I don't get the Sparkle Motion reference....perhaps I have been too caught up in the fascinating relationships on this show....LOL!

Watch Donnie Darko. You will understand my reference then. You will also understand why I say, "Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion!" and "CHUT UP!" Plus you should watch it because it's one of the more offbeat and good movies made in the last ten years. Heck, you should watch it just for Frank the Bunny and Jake Gyllenhaal's psychotic good looks.

As for the chocolate, who cares? It's chocolate. I'd take a chance and eat it if I was craving it. That's just me. I can't go two days without eating the stuff.

So you saying if the flyers weren't sent they would have eatin the food? I mean for starters why (again) would they go throw the trouble, I mean they fly plans, that seem to be old 50's models(sp) or whatever, what I don't get the go throgh the troulbe of posining and all that and flying these plans, you say that these people did there research, but didn't that one dude who prodicted(SP) stuff say that America would be friends with there enemy? China is considered are/there enemy. isn't it? I guess I am saying they used that and put it in the story. I've seen Donnie Darko, I hate that lady in it, shes an idiot.

The relationships suck in this show(not being rude just saying my opinoin, its lunch fiinish this later. lunch over. now lets see, I was gunna say that the reason is cus like I said the actors suck, and I think none of the actors/actresses have any chemistery together, I think it would be better though if they had better actors and writers, some of the lines are so stupid.


P.S. sorry bout the spelling read other post and see why!

I'm not saying they would necessarily eat the food if the flyers had not been included. Point is the food would be suspect because as far as anyone knows China is the country that bombed the U.S. They don't go out of their way to help us in need, so why would they start after they (may have) nuked the **** out of us?

I just found it hilarious that the Chinese government would go out of their way to show how happy and smiley and trustworthy they were when they dropped the supplies. Smacks of trying too hard. It's akin to a homophobe going out of his way to make you aware that he really doesn't find men attractive. Methinks thou doth protest too much, etc.

Yea but we don't know if it was suppose to be them or not, do we? I mean why would they nuke us then send food thats posion? why not bomb us or send men in to take over and inslave the surviours(sp)? it would be a lot smarter then posionung us wouldn't it?

I think metoepher(sp) doesn't really make to much, I mean unless the homophobe was gay, but if hes a homophobe then he's not right? I guess what I am saying is you shouldn't use a metepher(sp) thta has to do with that cus it's a touchy subject and I personally don't think it's okay to be... I am NOT homophobic though thtas just a stupid thing made for people who don't agree (like me) with it.



P.S. if you or anyone finds this affiencof(sp) I am sorry but I tired to be "nice" and is it my opinion, so I can say just sbout what I want and not get yelled or anything else.


P.S.S. Sorry about the spelling I'm in school and I am not suppose to be on this site.

My point is when a person protests too much, the underlying reason may be actual guilt.

Thus my statement about a homophobic guy trying his hardest to let people know he isn't at all attracted to men may be because deep underneath he actually does fancy the surfer dude who lives down the street. It's called "latent" feelings.

Thus the Chinese are trying too hard to get the townsfolk to trust them.

As for why they'd poison the food, it's up in the air that this would be the case, isn't it? It isn't unknown for drops to have poisoned supplies. I have to dig up the links, but I'm sure this has happened in previous wars. As to the question why not just continue bombing? Bombs are more expensive than sending a couple of bombers over Kansas with possibly tainted supplies.

Though I agree there are other ways to knock off the rest of the population, if that's what you're after. Biological warfare is a nasty thing, and it isn't difficult to poison a town's water supply.

Of course there should have been enough fallout for that to be a redundant activity. They should not be able to farm anything safely without scraping off the top 18-36 inches of tainted soil from your acreage. That doesn't make for intense enough drama, apparently, so we're getting the [possibly] tainted supplies dropped from whoever bombed the country in the first place.

Frankly, I'd be more worried about the state of the farmer's corn harvest than the state of the food dropped by the bombers. I know for the purpose of the show that fallout never happened, but crops exposed to such things are not exactly healthy. Farmer boy had the right idea for the wrong reasons to burn his crop. Too bad they didn't bother.

Whooo! Fireworks again in the Jericho thread....LOL

Well, that was the season finale (oh my, what are we going to argue about now until January?) and it somehow didn't have a season finale feel to it, but that's Jericho, I guess.

I know it's pitiful of me, but I like the "Stimi" connection. So what's the deal, cuz Bonnie is ticked off about Stanley sleeping with the "enemy" so she decided to go off and do a little enemy sleeping too???

And I must admit, I've never seen an election take place and the newly elected person sworn in immediately thereafter, but...it is Jericho!

The best part of this show was when Dale shoots Mitchell....I was jumping up and down and screaming, "YES!!!" But of course, there will be consequences for the poor hapless Dale down the line, I suppose.

And just when Skeet and his blondie start to think they can rekindle old love (what ever did happen to Heather, anyway????) what's his name, blondie's fiance or whatever, shows up with a group of people who look like they just walked off the set of "Night of the Living Dead".

Well, if anything, it gives the next season hope for some more interesting (???) relationships to develop. Either that, or it makes for even more soap opera to come!

The biggest mystery is that Hawkins fella'. Who is he trying to avoid, why? and there are still spy satellites out there which someone can track.

Oh, and as far as the food drop, well, Mimi didn't die from eating the chocolate, so are we to assume the food is safe to eat???

And have we really seen the last of Jonah??? Maybe the actor who plays him got fed up and said "this show sucks" and just wanted a way out! Who knows?

I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else thinks!

Okay, I'll admit it. They got me. I'm feeling the effects of the cliffhanger. But before I go into it, I do have to say - the most hilarious thing ever was Stanley running after his sister shouting her name. She can't hear you, Stanley. She's your sister; I think you realize she's deaf! lol. Anyway, I agree with you Cazzandra - there's something cute about Stimi (I can't believe we're actually calling them by their tabloid name). I, too, have been wondering where Heather has gone. The part with Hawkings freaked me out a little - that's some serious zoom lens on that satellite! In other news, I think that with the new mayor, the town will degenerate into a bunch of torch-weilding viallgers, so we're going to see some of the post-apocolyptic insanity we've all been waiting for! I couldn't believe Dale. Yowsers. I didn't know he had it in him. I know there was more I wanted to say, but I can't think of it now. Oh, Emily's fiancee looked nothing like I pictured him.

LOL, good call....that totally slipped by me (after I had her reading "War and Peace" and all...hee hee!). Mimi was screaming her name too, if I recall. I guess we can consider it a natural reaction, but you'd think after all these years of conditioning Stanley would have seen the futility of it all.
I agree with you Cazzandra - there's something cute about Stimi (I can't believe we're actually calling them by their tabloid name).
I know, it's just too funny! They came up with a bunch of other funny ones too, but I guess we all liked Stimi the best!

I also liked the scene where Mimi was knitting and Stanley said he thought that his mother would have liked her. She says, "Really?"....and he hesitates for a second and says, "No"! At least he was honest with her about that...and she's not stupid enough to know that his mother would ever like her, especially since she came there to take the farm away for the government (lousy bunch of bums that they are!)
I couldn't believe Dale. Yowsers. I didn't know he had it in him.
Why not? He's had the look of death and vengeance in his eyes since the beginning of the series. He always seemed to be permanantly "teed" off, to put it politely. He's a teenager stuck in this place where he finds out his family has died, he's alone, and all he has is this shopkeeper Sparkle Motion lady (with deference to Sredni) and some teenage twit girl who initially humiliates him and then ends up taking him in out of pity, or whatever. Who wouldn't want to kill someone at that point? And the knife at his throat was the last straw! I say, YOU GO DALE! He did the right thing. Sometimes you just have to take out the bad guy before he comes after you. Lessons in life and war and current events in America!:cool:
Oh, Emily's fiancee looked nothing like I pictured him.


Yeah, aside from the Night of the Living Dead thing he had going on, he looked like he was way too old and plain and businesslike for a hot, sexy blonde babe like her.

The next thing you know, she'll be on The Amazing Race!:lol:

Do we know Who the person was that Hawkins saw on his computer?

Jon Turtletaub. He's the one responsible, right?

Do we know Who the person was that Hawkins saw on his computer?


Yeah, it was Hawkins and his kid playing football. Obviously the other people he's in cahoots with are watching him via satellite.

1. I actually believe China comes in peace.

2. The reason Roger looked so zombie-ish is maybe because he and a whole bunch of people have been walking for days on end probably without proper food, water, rest, and bathing.

3. I think that the US is responsible for the bombs. I mean, Hawkins works (worked?) for the FBI remember? And the computer he has is a government issued computer that's designed exactly for the kind of situation the town is in. So that means that someone else has to have the same kind of computer in order to be talking to Hawkins. And who would a have an identical Government issued computer but the US Government? Hawkins is obviously talking to a superior on the computer, who has control over satellites, and his only superiors are in the US Government. The messages on the computer don't seem to be too friendly. They are very threatening and foreboding. Now why would the US bomb it's own? I don't know. But as it stands the US is the only country in history to ever use Nuclear bombs. We've even tested them on American soil. So, maybe the writers are taking a page out of history's textbooks?

4. Have any of you been going to the Jericho website? There are some things there that don't (or have yet to) appear on the show. Such as this (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/jericho/whois.shtml) and this. (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/jericho/digital.php)

Lol! Just a very dumb comment...

My brother's name is Jericho and we have always thought it is the coolest name ever!

My brother's name is Jericho and we have always thought it is the coolest name ever!

That is a cool name. Do you guys call him "Jerry" for short??

Never! No short names are allowed in my family actually :P

He is always being Jericho, his full name is Jericho Frederick

At work he calls himself Frederick because apparently people couldnt remember Jericho or even how to pronounce it... stupid people :P

Coolest name ever :P and oldest city in the world.

Never! No short names are allowed in my family actually :P

I know we are seriously digressing from the "Jericho" theme here of this thread, but seeing that the show is in hiatus, I am going to bite...

So if no short names are allowed, and your brother goes by his middle name Frederick, since his coworkers are unable to remember his real name, does he go by the name "Fred" or "Freddy" or something?

Doesn't he have a "name tag" or something to make them remember him?

I know I am veering seriously off course here, all apologies, but if his name is Jericho, and if it were ME, I would stick with it and make the other idiots figure it out. MY NAME IS JERICHO...learn it, love it , live it!!!

Aside, your parents are cool to name your brother Jericho (I personally love it)...makes me wonder what they named you!

I named my son Hans which was really foreign to my family...I love his name too....long story, not appropriate here.

OK, if I go on any longer they will shut down this thread for getting too "chatty" or something.

Anyway, it's going to be a while until the new season of Jericho comes on, and if this gets shut down someone will start a new one when the next season starts, I'm sure.

Sorry for the digression.

Well, I'm just going to jump on the off topic bandwagon for a second, but I do have something to say about Jericho, so that should save us all.
Proud Slytherin - I think that Jericho is a spectacularly cool name. I have an unusual name myself and I sympathize with your brother having to go with his middle name. Very few people have ever been able to get mine right before knowing me for a long time. I hated it when I was younger, but I love it now. So if your brother ever wonders what your parents were thinking, just tell him that in a few years, he'll be really happy that he's not a John or an Eddie.
Cazzandra - Is there a star wars story behind your choice of name for your son?
Ok, now to be good. I think I really missed something on Jericho because I went to the website and saw all sorts of stuff about a strange woman lurking around town and no one knowing who she is. I have no clue what they're talking about. If anyone knows, please tell me.

OK, OK, OK, you people are all making me so curious about your unusual names...I have a dreadfully normal name. Well, it was normal when it was given to me, you don't see too many of them around any more since everyone is named Jennifer or Meghan or something like that.

My mom named me after an actress she liked at the time. There was another more famous actress about with the same first name who's last name was Lombard (heee) but my mom liked the other less well known actress whose last name was Landis. Sigh!
Cazzandra - Is there a star wars story behind your choice of name for your son?
No, not really. It was a sort of "fate" thing where the heavens aligned and all the signs pointed to that name. Anyway, Harrison Ford's character was named "Han" not "Hans"...but interestingly enough, my husband bears a slight resemblance to Harrison Ford. What this has to do with anything, I don't even know!

As far as the mysterious lady lurking in Jericho...I don't have any idea about it. My best guess is that she might be one of the "Night of the Living Dead" people who come to town and she might just be hiding in the shadows somewhere. But to be even more cynical, it's just one of those plot twists they think will make people want to watch the show in it's second season that doesn't involve some sort of love affair or soap opera-y aspect to it.

At least we can hope that criticism has reached their ears and they move away from that direction for the sake of the show.

Oh, and Sredni, if you're still tuning in, my son came home from college and told me I absolutely have to see Donnie Darko, he even went out and bought a copy because he likes it so much. I'm going to watch it tomorrow with him and I'm going to keep a special look out for the Sparkle Motion thing. I mentioned that to my son and he couldn't remember anything about that so it will be fun to "discover" it together.

EDIT:

Ok so I watched that movie and now I totally understand the Sparkle Motion lady reference. It's the same actress who played Gracie in Jericho. Frankly, I didn't understand the whole hubub about that movie...I think my son may be insane, heheh, just kidding. We're still talking about it and trying to figure out the meaning of it all.....gonna' have to watch it with director commentary to get a clue...LOL

I downloaded the first 11 episodes. Have I missed any new ones? When is there a new episode? I love the show and can't wait to see more.

The new season starts up on February 21!

If you watch Donnie Darko and treat it as a time travel movie, it makes a lot more sense. I love the movie. Plus it caters to the 80s kid in me with all that wonderful music.

If the writers of Jericho had any sense they'd take to heart what a lot of people are complaining about and give us some actual nuclear holocaust action in the show instead of the soap opera we were getting before the show ended.

It's one thing to develop characters. It's quite another thing to treat them in such a soap opera way. They deserve better than that.

And that weird al picture in your signature is really spooky.

OK, OK, OK, you people are all making me so curious about your unusual names...

My name is Dinah (rhymes with China). I love it now, but it was absolutely horrid in high school. Between other things it rhymes with, the Dinah blow your horn song and lame jokes like Dinah-sour and Dinah-mite, it got a little old. But I digress.
Oh, and to stay off topic for just a minute more, I loved Donnie Darko!
Ah, Jericho....I am hoping that it's a whole new feeling of terror when it comes back. After all, there is a new sherrif in town, literally.

If you watch Donnie Darko and treat it as a time travel movie, it makes a lot more sense. I love the movie. Plus it caters to the 80s kid in me with all that wonderful music.

I have to admit, I really like the soundtrack. There was some Tears for Fears in there and some Oingo Boingo. That was the best part of the whole movie for me.:rockon:
And that weird al picture in your signature is really spooky.
Spooky, yet somehow COOL!:cool:

The new season starts up on February 21!

Thanks!

Yeah Feb.21 can't wait!!! Thanks :)

There was no oingo boingo in the Donnie Darko soundtrack, unless they stuck some into the Director's Cut. It was mostly Echo and the Bunnymen, The Church, Tears for Fears, and other such new wave artists.

Okay, back to your regularly scheduled Jericho thread. Sparkle Motion Lady is no more.

There was no oingo boingo in the Donnie Darko soundtrack, unless they stuck some into the Director's Cut.
I watched the director's cut and there was a scene when some of the characters were in a kitchen and Oingo Boingo was playing on a radio. It was really in the background and you would have missed it if you weren't paying attention. It wasn't up front like most of the music is in most movies.

And just because I feel like venting, I would like to say that I REALLY hate that. The stupid montage moments when some stupid song plays...I wish someone would make a movie sometime without that nonsense.

There, I said it!

And I LOVE The Church, btw, I can't believe I didn't include them in my other post!

So, in total agreement with all of you, I hope that this new season of Jericho will have less soap opera and more drama. Heck, if 24 can do it, why can't these people?

A nuclear device was set off in the last episode of 24 and it will be an interesting contrast to see how that's dealt with. Of course, the tack of the two shows are totally different so maybe I'm off track trying to compare them. But, let's face it, there isn't any comparison in the first place.

Geeez, I think I'd rather talk about Donnie Darko....LOL

I'm gonna' go drag out a Church cd to clear my head...that song, "The Illusionist" has been going thru my head what with that movie that came out. Love the fade out at the end.

EDIT!

Well, a new season started tonight. I thought it was pretty good, actually. Finally we get some background on Hawkins and Jake. Hawkins was such a creep that I can't believe his wife Darcy actually ended up going along with him.

Anyway, I hope some other Jericho fan finds this old thread because I didn't want to double post, being the last one here.

I agree, Cazzandra. If I was Hawkins's wife, I would have done anything to escape him. You'd think he would have at least said something like - I'm trying to help you, something bad is about to happen. Anyway, now that they're in a better place, the other woman shows up. Ah, the relationship drama continues. Still, it was nice to have Jericho back and next week looks good. Now that we saw the background with Hawkins, I feel like America did this to itself. Was it just me or did everyone get that impression?

Now that we saw the background with Hawkins, I feel like America did this to itself. Was it just me or did everyone get that impression?

Hmm! Well, depending on what you mean. TV show nonsense or real life current events?

Obviously, it's these Ravenswood creeps who are behind the nuclear attacks in this show. I found that twist a bit disappointing because given the current state of things, it's hard to fathom that Americans with some sort of grudge would be the ones who would do this sort of thing, considering that America has REAL enemies. (that's why I watch 24!....they get REAL enemies to be the bad guys...LOL).

I guess the wimps at this network don't have the "you know what's" to call a spade a spade so they don't "offend" anyone. I guess they don't want the ACLU or CAIR going after them like Fox had to deal with.

So, let's pretend that real terrorism isn't actually happening, and let's make America the perpetrator as well as the victim, and let's throw in some more soap opera to make the medicine go down. Yawn!

Ok, now that my diatribe is over...hee hee!...So Roger is back, and that's throwing a monkey wrench into the relationship growing again between Jake and what's her name. ( I don't know why I am having such a hard time remembering the female character's names on this show....I remember April, the jilted wife, and Mimi, the IRS babe and Mary the bartendress, but the blondie's name escapes me).

And for some darn reason I can't explain, that Sinead O'Conner song has been going through my head...argh!

Darcy....what the heck? Get the heck out of DODGE already....who could trust that man after he kidnaps her and the kids in such a nasty way?

This show is almost like watching a classic "train wreck" where you can't keep your eyes off it to see what happens next.

Count me in as a glutton for punishment, because I will keep watching until the end!

OnDemand hasn't put up the latest episode yet. I saw the rehash listed there and put it on just for giggles. Then promptly turned it off again. Even though they showed tidbits from every episode, it was pretty bad.

Here's hoping we see some radioactive zombies this season.

Well, I'm thinking this show is getting better. We're getting a bit more of what the post nuclear America looks like.

I'm not even minding the relationships so much anymore. Good grief, I'm almost starting to "care" about these people! (Sick, I know!)

I think this season so far has got some promise so I'm giving it a chance. Heck, now that there are like five Presidents of the United States, it should be ripe for a little more action than Stan and Mimi, Eric and Mary, and Jake and whoever!:lol:

I missed my chance to meet Skeet this weekend. Darn. I hate to say it, but he's really grown on me. Rather like a malignant tumor.

I did see a sneak preview (or part of) next week's Jericho at WonderCon over the weekend. It started off pretty intense, but then Johnston and the wife started talking and I lost interest.

It was much more fun to prance around with Captain Jack as Willy Wonka anyway.

I just watched it and I agree. It has gotten more intense (I totally thought Dale was going to be hanged; that would have been crazy) and the divided nation thing is interesting. Interesting, too, that the other town got a relief package from Germany.
Yep, I'm starting to care about these people, too.
Any ideas what the light was that saved Roger?

I dunno about the light...whatever it was, it seems to have transformed Roger from a selfish jerk into a caring human being.

But who cares about him anyway??? hee

I think this last episode was really good. We are really starting to see how awful living in a post nuclear world can be and you get the sense of the creepiness of it, with marauding bands of thieves, etc.

The only thing that bugged me about this episode was that even tho it's supposed to be freezing cold outside, you can't see anyone's breath. I suppose people in warm climates wouldn't notice it, but if you live in a place where it gets cold in winter, you just KNOW that you can see your breath when it's cold outside!

That's just a MINOR complaint. The only reason I even bring it up is because I was trying to identify with Jake and Stanley freezing outside and it was hard to do without seeing the breath.

Other than that minor detail, I thought it was a good episode and I think this show has grown a lot since it's first season.

I'm still confused as to what exactly is happening with Hawkins and Sarah but I suppose if we give it enough time, we'll know!

Wow. I have got to start watching Jericho when it is actually on. American Idol has completely messed me up :-)
That was more like it...I was afraid of those bandits, and I was worried that something terrible was going to happen to Mimi (I can't believe I'm admitting this, but Stanley and Mimi are now my favorite Jericho couple). I can't figure out what is up with Hawkins, but I'm with Sarah on not trusting the other girl (even though she broke that guys neck). That was seriously creepy with the bodies of the people who had tried going south. It seems like the trouble is getting closer to Jericho...I wonder how long it will be before someone comes to try and take their houses, etc.

P.S. Cazzandra, you're so right about the breath. I hadn't noticed it before, but now that you pointed it out, it's quite obvious.

P.S. Cazzandra, you're so right about the breath. I hadn't noticed it before, but now that you pointed it out, it's quite obvious.

So has season 2 started in the USA? We only had like 13 episodes here in Australia then it went off, I'm not sure if that was all for the season or if the seasons only half over.

We had a long break and it started again. I don't know if it's actually a new season or just the rest of season one.

Wow, another excellent episode of Jericho tonight!

I thought the fight scene in the Hawkins house was fabulous! I loved seeing Robert kick Sarah's hiney! And how cool when the daughter shot her!!! Yay!!!:tu:

I agree, I like Stanley and Mimi! That was cute when she called him a cornhusker and he said no, he's a Jayhawk!:love:

And those despicable people parading around like the proud and the few! Hoorah! Semper Fi! Carry on, maggot! (I watch Mail Call sometimes...hee hee!):no:

This show has definitely grown from the previous season (if that's what it was...season wise, that is. I can't keep it straight either!)

Thank goodness for Jake, Johnston and Mrs. Green! That idiot Gray Anderson is a moron!:grumble:

Next episode in two weeks!

That was great when Hawkins' daughter shot Sarah. I wonder if they will stay in Jericho now.
I couldn't believe Jake kissed that fake marine girl...I think some sort of post-appocolyptic biological drive to re-populate the planet has kicked in with him! He is one hero who always has time for the ladies, lol.

Oh my, poor April...I thought the death bed scene was really moving with all the family members holding each other.

So now Eric is off to do his penance! And it was almost kind of sweet that Gail said to him that they would take care of Mary.

I also thought the interaction between Bonnie and Mimi was touching, too.
And the "I love you" scene between Stan and Mimi...awww!

Dale and that girl (gosh, can't remember her name) going after that guy...that was cool, too! Tho I don't know what her trendy friends are going to think when they find out about them "hooking up"...after all, it's not like nuclear bombs haven't gone off and destroyed half the country or anything!:err:

And correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that dude who came over with the turbine windmill "Lassiter" from Psych??? That made me chuckle!:lol:

I did watch it but me and my famliy have lived thru the hurricanes in 2004
and 2005, and been without power and water for at the least 10days and the
most a month and you never look that good or care about make-up and your
hair when you can only that a bath when it rains.And have little babies crying because it is so hot that you can't cool them off.So we kinda don't watch it anymore becuase it isn't that realistic to us.

Sorry to hear of your plight:td: , hope it's getting better for you.

The soapy aspect of the show has been a bugaboo for a lot of viewers since the beginning and there has been a LOT of criticism of the show.

Still, it is TV and meant for entertainment purposes, and even though it strains credulity at times, on the whole it has improved as an entertainment program.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that dude who came over with the turbine windmill "Lassiter" from Psych??? That made me chuckle!:lol:

I knew you would notice! I was cracking up...it's hard to see him as intimidating when I'm used to him being the butt of so many jokes on psych. It did make me miss psych, though, which seems to have had a really short season (or is it my imagination)?

Anyway, I was not expecting April to die. That was crazy. I felt bad for Eric. He'll blame himself for her and the baby and he shouldn't. Even though earlier in the year, I referred to him as a fool or a twit or something like that, he didn't deserve this harsh of a lesson from karma! The part that got me was when he said she picked a nice name and didn't tell her that the baby was gone. That was really sad. At least it brough him back into the family fold, so to speak. Now he's off on this crazy not-really-a-hostage-situation-situation orchestrated by "Bad Lassiter" as I am calling him. I hope those guys come back safely (and I hope that one dude was telling the truth about April being fine).

I guess that other doctor better stay out of the bar. He's the only doctor in town now.

The whole Stan/Mimi/Bonnie thing was touching.

Dale has really gotten quite spunky. I guess the girl doesn't care what her friends think anymore. She's been with him for a while now.

Hmm...anything else? Oh, yeah... I have a feeling no good can come of Hawkings' wife staying with that cop. Next week's episode looks violent. :)

...:rockon: "someone's in the kitchen with Dinah...":rockon:

I know, I felt like laughing too. I miss Psych, and bad Lassiter only makes me think of how funny that show is when I'm supposed to be all serious about nuclear destruction and stuff.:lol:

I have never understood the season structure of cable shows like Psych and Monk, etc. When I was a kid in the golden age of television, a season started sometime in September and kept going until May or June or something like that, and then the rest of the time was reruns. Of course, we only had three networks and a handful of local channels, so I guess I can't complain!
(and I hope that one dude was telling the truth about April being fine). I'm pretty sure you meant Heather since April has now assumed room temperature. I think we'll find out what horrible fate has befallen her when the rest of the Jericho dudes get to where ever it is they are keeping her.
I guess that other doctor better stay out of the bar. He's the only doctor in town now.
Heck, I thought they ran out of booze a season ago!:td:

That cop, he cracked me up last week too...utterly clueless!

Yeah, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near wherever Hawkins is...he's got bad MOJO!

I'm still trying to figure out what that was a few posts ago <scratches head>:eeep:

:lol: I did mean Heather, of course.
Yeah, I thought they ran out of booze, too, but they kept saying the doctor was drunk...maybe the writers are starting to forget what they said before. Oh, well. What can I say? I'm hooked on Jericho now, even if it's not realistic, consistent or nearly as gory as I thought it would be. I wonder how the Hawkins kids are going to handle living with the cop. I certainly hope junior doesn't talk in his sleep about watching his big sister shoot someone.
Side note - that song has been following me around for 31 years. When I was a kid, I absolutely hated it, now I just sing along :rockon: Of course, when I first read your post, I forgot my name was in my profile and I thought you were having a "psych" moment of your own. I actually thought, "can this be a coincidence?" :lol: My brain isn't functioning right today. Lack of sleep.

I'm hooked on Jericho now, even if it's not realistic, consistent or nearly as gory as I thought it would be.
I know, me too...and I don't know if I can ever forgive myself for it...LOL:lol:

Ha ha! It was your "Psych Out" for today! Actually, you mentioned it in an earlier post and I just remembered it because it's such an underused and pretty name.:)

Ha ha! It was your "Psych Out" for today! Actually, you mentioned it in an earlier post and I just remembered it because it's such an underused and pretty name.:)

aww...that's nice of you. I like my name now, but it was torture in middle school for reasons I can't go into here. Suffice it to say some boys in my 7th grade class realized that it rhymed with something...:rolleyes:

When it first started, me and my sister started watching it. Then after awhile, it lost our interest. :err:

Ah, Jericho!

Well, there was a lot of tension in the last episode. I was almost rooting for Roger because I think Gray Anderson is a moron.

Then I was rooting for the sniper because I think Roger is becoming a moron, too!

It's a hard call to know what to do when your town is low on rations and you have as many "visitors" as residents to feed.

You could really see it from everyone's point of view. The residents being reluctant to open their missing neighbor's homes to the visitors, etc.

I guess the show is finally doing what it should have been doing all along, making us think of what WE would do in that situation.

I thought the whole scenario with Dale and Skylar was a bit lame...how the heck did she manage to saddle a horse, tie the gas cans to it and get away in that short a period of time?

It was really poignant when the guy who broke into Gail's home ended up just wanting some superglue to fix his shoe, because it was the only thing he had left that was "his".

Well, Roger has to go, leaving Emily ( I finally figured out that that's her name) to be alone around good old Skeet!

I missed seeing Stimi this time...I never thought I would miss or even like an IRS agent...LOL

Looks like we finally get to learn more about Hawkins next week...guess he was a fake FBI agent after all.

I can't wait to see what that was all about!

Yeah, it's getting intense. I can't believe that the goofy cop is the one putting it together about Hawkins! I totally agree with you about Gray and Roger and about it being a tough call for everyone involved with the refugees. I liked it when the guy who wanted to fix his shoe said he hoped her neighbors weren't being forced out of whatever town they were in. It was a good point.
It was hard to believe that Dale and Skylar would get away with the horse and the gas, but I was impressed to see that they had hired thugs.
I'm most interested in finding out what happens with Hawkins. I wonder if his wife even knows what his real job was. I actually believed he was an FBI agent. Hmm...interesting. I liked the exchange between him and his daugher, too. Overall, Jericho has gotten much better.
I missed Stimi too! I know...an IRS agent, who would have thunk it?

Tonight's episode was pretty good.

I have to say, I was having a hard time keeping up with Hawkin's explanation of his role in this whole thing. First, he's fake FBI and then he's real CIA. I want to think he's a good guy but even now I can't say for sure!

My favorite parts of the episode were Mimi talking to the chicken. Had it been me, I think I would have settled for sprouts!

I used to witness my grandmother butchering chickens when I was a kid. The head would fly off and the dogs would be right there crunching the thing, beak and all. Then they would put the chicken bodies in a bucket of water to soak before pulling off the feathers.

I guess when you're a kid, you learn to accept these things. But as an adult who's only bought chicken in a package from the grocery store, I think it would be difficult to resort to the "real thing". I guess it depends on how hungry you are!

I don't get what Johnston was doing up in that tree stand. I guess he just wanted to be alone. I think it would have been cool if he'd actually spotted and killed a deer.

And as far as Darcy, I thought she looked really beautiful with the wig. The haircut she has now just doesn't suit her facial structure at all. It accentuates her long, low jawline and makes her look older than she probably is.

Stanley better get back soon, cuz his sister is becoming a slut! I hope Mimi can talk some sense into her. The boyfriend is a player!

I love it! The season premeire was so exhilarating! It rox!

I definitely am not sure what to make of Hawkins' story.
I too loved the part with Mimi and the chicken. I thought the exchange between Mimi and Stanley's sister was pretty sweet.
Also, I know this is nitpicking, but I can't believe April had a headstone already. Even in normal circumstances, you usually can't get one that fast.
Overall, I really liked this episode.

Also, I know this is nitpicking, but I can't believe April had a headstone already. Even in normal circumstances, you usually can't get one that fast.
I was thinking the exact same thing when Gail went to "visit" her. It's only been a few days or maybe a week or two at most since April assumed room temperature.

Sometimes I wonder what the writers are thinking when they come up with stuff like that! They could easily have put a makeshift wooden cross with her name painted on it.

That's akin to the lack of visible breath in below freezing temperatures, only I think the headstone thing is even more blatant!

Another nitpicky thing that got me, going back to my childhood memories of butchering chickens, that ax she had looked like it just came off the shelf at the local Farm and Fleet! The one my grandma had stayed outside stuck in the tree stump all year long, and it was rusty as all get out! It did the job, though. Poor little chickens.

Never the less, I'm still enjoying the program and glad I stuck with it. I think now I'm going to be even more attentive to looking for things that have no credibility. Hee!

Just saw the new episode. Wondering if this terrorist cell is called Ravenwood, and that package they would be delivering was a nuke? Something fishy is going on, I know, and I personally want to find out what the answer is in this circle within circles.

OK, people I used to like (Dale, Gale Green) are starting to annoy me.

This kid Dale and his girly pal Skylar are a couple of teenage twits. Someone needs to knock some sense into them. This is a serious situation and you just don't wantonly give up what is yours to some interloper who tries to make you a deal.

I'm glad to see Stimi again. I'm glad Stan made the idiot sleep on the couch!!!!!

As for Hawkins and the Drano....I wanted to see some ACTION!!! (guess I'm used to 24!).

Those folks in New Bern are creepy. Sure hope that Jake and Eric get out of there and destroy the arsenal.

Lassiter has to die (sorry if you are not a Psych fan) so he can go back to tormenting Shawn and Gus!:lol: :lol: :lol:

I have just got to start watching this on Wednesdays! I agree, Cazzandra. Lassie must die!
If Heather is really dead, I am upset about it. I can't believe Jake and Eric are in jail with all of New Bern against them. At least Hawkins is still around. I'm sure he'll do something insane :)
I agree that Dale and Skylar are being twits. I guess they feel like the new mayor isn't going to let them have the salt unless they go along with the thugs. I was glad to see Stimi, too. I'm touched by how much Mimi cares...her little speech about having to put up with that boy (the idiot) to keep Stanley's sister from leaving and getting into trouble was nice.

Well, no Stimi tonight, but the one thing I happened to notice was "Lassie's" police car....

Holy heck, it was an old Chevy Nova...My mom used to drive me to high school in one of those and I graduated in 1973!!! LOL

Seems like the peeps of New Bern haven't made a whole lot of progress since the seventies, yet somehow they managed to get a plant on line manufacturing mortar rounds!

Hawkins is turning out to be a real hero in this show. I hope he continues to kick butt!

I'm still not sure what to think about Dale and Skylar...I understand holding on to what's yours, but there's just something wrong there.

Only a few episodes left, so we'll see!

All of the new cars don't work because of the EMP. Only cars old enough to not have circuit boards/computers in them work.

The escape/gunfight was pretty good. Can't wait for Wednesday.

All of the new cars don't work because of the EMP. Only cars old enough to not have circuit boards/computers in them work.
Excellent point! All of the vehicles that get driven around in this show have a lot of wear and tear on them, for sure!

I just had to laugh at the old Nova, the paint was completely gone. I wonder how they kept it running all these years, not like there is an abundance of spare parts for a relic like that!

There was another old car the New Bernies had too, it looked like an old 70's model Oldsmobile. That one was also devoid of paint!

The gunfight was good! I was hoping my "heroes" would have taken out that one sniper sooner, though!

And with all the younger men wounded, it was sad to see the old man, Johnston, having to carry the girlie to safety.

Heck, he just got over a nearly deadly flu or something not too long ago!

I can't wait for next week too, and I'm wondering how this season will end...it's only a few episodes away.

I forgot about the circuit board thing, too, and I was thinking the same thing - why on earth do they all have cars from the 70s?
That was a good episode. I liked the escape, and I am loving Hawkins now. It's a good thing the dad came back. I was afraid he was going to leave town, miss the escape and sneak back in after the boys were already on their way back to Jericho.

Excellent episode tonight. Anderson finally got over his pride or stupidity and asked for help.

Next episode is going to be interesting. The preview basically said a main character is going to die. Hopefully the battle scenes are good.

BTW, does anyone know what they did with the prisoners from the mortar site?

That was totally a great episode tonight!

Grey Anderson is a nitwit and he darn near got good old Stanley killed!

Obviously he never got the memo that you never negotiate with terrorists (which is basically what the New Bernites are).

I was wondering what happened to the guys who got put into the back of the truck, too. Maybe they got out and started fighting when the gunfire broke out. It wasn't made clear on their fate.

And that little twit, Dale. He was one character I really loved from the beginning of this show, but he has just turned rotten! He went from outcast to thug! I hope he gets slapped upside the head by someone in the future! Maybe Skylar's parents will come back and take back their fifty percent share of the salt mine or something.

And for a brief moment I almost started to like Emily's dad. But, once a bad guy, always a bad guy! Johnston had it right when he said he was about to make a deal with the "devil". I don't blame him for making the deal tho, sometimes the enemy of your enemy is your friend...(until he reverts back to being your enemy).

Yes, next week is the season finale and they made it clear that someone would die and someone would step in. Based on the graphics they were showing during the dialog, my best guess is that Johnston will die and Jake will be looked up to as the new leader.

I could be totally wrong but we'll have to wait til next week to find out!

I agree with you cazzaranda, Johnston seems the most likely to die. I'll be sad if he does cause I really like his character. I hope Jake will become the new major because Anderson is a moron.

Was it just me or did anyone else notice that girl Heather in the preview for next week? Does that mean she's alive?

I saw Heather too, and it looks like the tank might see some action.

I missed Heather in the preview, but I was totally thinking about that tank in the middle of the episode. I don't know how much ammo they have for it, but it could still be used as a way to infiltrate NewBern's defenses.

It's gonna' be a showdown in flyover country! Whoo hoo!!!!

I am so pumped for the finale! I do hope it's not Johnston that dies, though I agree it seems most likely. I saw Heather, too, and I think she might be alive. Last night's episode was great. I was glad to see Hawkins back together with his wife. I was hoping that they kept the guys from the truck as POWs, but I doubt if that's what really happened. It was sad when everyone was getting a gun and Hawkins gave one to his daughter.

t was sad when everyone was getting a gun and Hawkins gave one to his daughter.
Are you kidding? I thought that was totally cool! And she smiled when he gave it to her. She's a lean, mean, killing machine and I hope she kicks some serious butt in the season finale! Thank goodness the second amendment is alive and well in Jericho!!!

I hate to see Johnston get the ax, but maybe the actor just didn't want to be in it anymore, who knows?

Anyway, Skeet has been running the show behind the scenes for a long time, so he's not going to have any problem taking over the helm. He's smarter than anyone else there aside from Johnston (and maybe even Hawkins, now that we are pretty sure he's not a bad guy).

You all saw Heather, so I'm going to assume she will be the new love interest for Skeet next season. I hope they don't dwell too much on that stuff as in the first season. I want Skeet to be happy but I don't want it to turn into a drama between Heather and Emily.

I would not object to more STIMI, however!!! LOL:p

EDIT!!!!!!!
Ok, I got the latest TV Guide (which I never do, but it looked interesting) and here's what they are saying about Jericho.

The executive producer says of "victim" that (s)he is "somebody who had a deal to be here for the next five years." I have no idea what that means, but there you have it!

She also refers to the death as "The Great Unpleasantness".

The death sets up a new story line that will get past who dropped the bombs and focus on the rebuilding of the country.

Then there is a bit about two connected residents of New Bern and Jericho which I won't spoil here.

The scary part is that there will be enough resolution in the finale so that viewers will be satisfied if it's the last episode of the show. I guess the ratings have been less than stellar.

Well, if they had not gone all soap opera-y on us early on, that wouldn't have happened and so it's their own fault for being stupid!

Anyway, Jericho fans, there you have it. Will Jericho live or will Jericho die? At least we have one more episode to look forward to!

:lol: I guess I saw the smile as being a sad smile. Here's to different interpretations! I agree that she's a little fighter, though. She's definitely her daddy's girl.

I hope it's not the last episode. I've grown attached to Jericho!

Season finale tonight. Everyone watch it so that the show doesn't get cut. This show is too good to have only one season.

I can't wait to see the tank in action.

What a great episode! I loved the juxtaposition of the wedding and modern day Jericho.

I think it they cancel this show they are making a BIG mistake!

I don't think that they made this last episode satisfy fans as to an ending if the show is not picked up! There is so much more that we want to see happen!

I had a feeling Johnston would be the one to buy it, sad as it was.

I want another season of JERICHO!

I want to know what Hawkins was doing with the tank and the railroad!

I want to see what the weirdos from "homeland security" are going to do.

I want STIMI!!!!!!!!

I loved that scene with Stimi at the graveyard. It was even more bittersweet for me because I found out that my mother in law passed away just a few moments earlier.

Life is strange!

What a great season this was. I'm pretty sure Jericho has been picked up for two more season. I had a feeling Johnston would die. It was sad though. I liked his character. I also liked how they ended the season, with the gun shots going off. Can't wait for season 2.

Ending with the gun shots just made me aggravated. I think a better ending would have been the shot of Hawkins sitting on the tank whit the choppers overhead and the train approaching.

My big question is - what was Hawkins doing with the tank?
I was impressed by Hawkins' wife figuring out that the bomb was evidence and I loved the final scene with the shooting. I hope there is another season; I definitely don't have all the answers I want.

I loved that scene with Stimi at the graveyard. It was even more bittersweet for me because I found out that my mother in law passed away just a few moments earlier.

Life is strange!

I liked that scene, too. It was funny when Mimi was trying to explain about them living together. I'm so sorry to hear about your mother in law. I'll keep your family in my thoughts.

Well... I got really sad news for everyone on this thread...

CBS has cancelled Jericho...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18699216/

I actually am not surprised. I haven't watched a lot of the last season.

I hate TV Networks, they never give shows a chance. CBS could have given them another season or at least given us a better finale that didn't leave us hanging. I want to find out what happens!!

Well, that's upsetting. I hate it when a show is cancelled while there is still so much left unsettled. Man! That is really bugging me! Bye, bye Stimi :(

Once again, Les Moonves proves what a complete idiot he is.:td:

I'm sad that Jericho has been given the shaft.

And WHO on earth EVER accused CBS of being "conservative"???

So they took a great premise for a show, soap opera-ed it up and ruined it for a lot of viewers before bringing it back better than it was at first, then they cancel it.

Then to add insult to injury, they decide that what American viewing audiences are clamoring for are more shows filled with smarmy sex and bleeding heart programs about sugar growers from Cuba!

Good Grief!!!

There are only two programs I watch on that wretched network. Survivor and The Amazing Race. Jericho made it three. Now I'll go back to two!

I'll miss Stimi, too!:sad:

And I'll miss all the chatter in this thread with all you Jericho fans (and sometimes not fans). It was fun while it lasted!:shrug:

Alas, I shall miss the chatter, too. I'm sure we'll meet again. After all, the 4400 is coming back in a few weeks :)

After all, the 4400 is coming back in a few weeks
Yay! Sunday June 17 at 9pm Eastern on the Sci Fi channel!!!!!!

One of us is going to have to start a new thread because I searched for the old one and it seems to be gone!

I looked for it, too. We'll have to start one as it gets closer. :)

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Yay! Jericho fans, I heard on the news tonight that Jericho has been renewed for another season!

Apparently there was a rabid fan campaign to keep the show alive which involved enraged fans sending thousands of pounds of peanuts to CBS!

I'm overjoyed by this news and look forward to finding out exactly what Hawkins was going to do with that train.

And, of course, I'm so happy for STIMI!:lol:

Yeah it is coming back but only for a limited run of 7 episodes just to tie up all the loose ends and so it doesn't end on a cliff hanger. If viewers pick up they might do more than 7 episodes but at the moment 7 is all they are planning on doing.

Oh, I'm so excited. I thought I woud be left wondering forever. Yay!

Well, I guess 7 episodes is better than nothing!

Who knows, maybe the audience will pick up and the show will be renewed for even more episodes. At least we loyal fans can get some closure, because they really did leave us hanging there!

I hope STIMI gets married!

So why would peanuts make them renew the show?:huh: maybe the weren't peanuts, but some sort of magic "mushroom":hmm: :huh:

:D

P.S. sorry if thats to.....for this site.

Jericho is due to return this summer. First episode will be July 6, Friday at 9ET. I'm not clear whether this will be new episodes or reruns, but I think it's reruns.

Nevertheless, it will give new fans a chance to catch up and hopefully gain some new fans and maybe keep the show going past the seven episodes due to start in September.

It would be great if more people started watching over the summer and the show ended up being saved.

It would be great if more people started watching over the summer and the show ended up being saved.

Well they're airing it on a different day of the week. Maybe that will make a difference.

I'm looking forward to watching the reruns again. Now that we know what happened, maybe there will be some clues to things that we'll notice that we didn't the first time around.

Who watched it?
Did you like it?

Matt.

I love this show! We're having the last two episodes next week and I really hope there will be more episodes than an additional 7.

Yeah, I read about the show being cancled and how the fans protested. I'm with them. I'd love to know what the creators envisioned the second season to be? What the meaning was behind the boms being dropped? Which cities? Why? What will happen to the folks of Jericho?

I looked on the Jericho website and I couldn't find a date yet for the season premiere.

There's lots of stuff to look at on that site, but I didn't take the time involved to do so.

I must admit, I have enjoyed the reruns. Even though I have seen them all before, each episode is still great to watch. For all my previous criticism of this show, I must admit...it's been one of my favorite dramas of the year.

I can't wait to see what is going to happen next!

Tell me! Tell me! Is Heather still alive or not?

You know, I don't understand the American TV networks.

I'm from Belgium and they should come and have a look at our shows, then and only then will they know what bad television is. Compared to our shows, Jericho is fabulous!

Has Jericho restarted at your end?

The last two epies tonight! I'm sorry to see it go. At least there was something on tv on monday night!

Although, it is being replaced by Lost, which is good too! ;)
