i couldn't take it anymore, so i stopped watching... too many things bugged me about the show...

slow predictable story lines
freaking gradient filters on every outside shot
bad acting/writing
crappy repetitive music

Lingering Questions? Jericho does not leave any. Well except maybe who did the US launch the ICBM's against? Especially considering the Nuke attacks were an inside job. Why aid from China?

It's almost like they are changing the plot as the story progresses. Something like "We only thought we'd get 13 episodes and this storyline will not last. We gotta redo this thing as the show is more popular than planned".

Only problem is, it is getting more boring because of the fact.

It's a good show but I haven't been following it lately. I really just want to watch it to find out the back story.

The Tank will soon be taken out of the garage and those other towners are gonna get pwned!

Hopefully they can drive over the kid that runs the shop. He does my nuts in.

i actually like this show more than lost now.... atleast they are answering major questions (and they mainly did this in the ep 2 weeks ago where we saw hawkins backstory and in that process answered pretty much every question about the attack) in the past vs stringing the story out like lost does.

the lost story has really started to annoy me about how we know almost nothing about the island after multiple seasons and the writers would rather throw something new into the story rather than answer questions.

Ya, he's gonna end up on the wrong side of things soon with the way he's going.

The show today was awesome, should be even more interesting now that Jericho is at war with their neighboring town. Hopefully Jericho will break out the tank they took from the phony Marines.

That'd be pretty funny. I don't think any of those morter rounds can even hurt a modern abrams.

It'd probably win em the war, but it'd eat up a whole lot of their fuel too.

Don't forget that Jericho still has a nuke as well. If things got really REALLY bad, I don't think that Hawkins would have any moral scruples about wiping New Bern off the map with it.

I think he would. He has probably developed some bonds with the people of jericho. Plus, I would think new berns is close enough to where fallout would really effect jericho. I mean, some of denver got there with the rain.

EDIT: That and well, there are still good people in new berns. It just seems the sheriff/mayor and the cops are crooked and whipping them into a mob army.

Just watched the last episode. Damn sucks that there is only one left.

I'm really surprised they haven't had a recall on that last vote. Anderson has cost them so much can't see them letting him keep getting them screwed.

On one of the newt week clips it looked like hawkins was sitting on a metal structure that looked like a tank, maybe they did bring it out?

Given the way the last dozen episodes have ended, I have about 0% faith that the finale will actually show the end of the conflict between the towns.

Anderson has been doing and OK job. He's made a few bad calls but he was in impossible situations. He's a hell of a lot better and more responsible now than he was in the beginning.

And it's not the last ep, it's the end of season 2. I'd imagine we'll see season 3, I love the show.

And they've got a tank, why not use it against New Bern? That'd be one hell of a surprise for those assholes.

Edit *Spoilers*

holy crap, Heather is alive. On the CBS website they have a sneak peak - two riflemen, looks like they are in uniform approach a flipped car. Two dead guys and one alive Heather.

Just end of season 1. Believe I saw in another thread/forum that it had been signed for at least 1 more season already.

lol

I was about to post exactly what the hell that spoiler clip was supposed to show, been so long since Heather's been in an ep forgot what she looked like.

Gonna watch it again to see more about the army boys to see if ya can tell real or militia.



Bleh, it hits heavy sunlight flare at the angle of the vid when you get a close of up the guys and can't tell anything out. But for her to be alive given that she's been on the run for about 4 days now, that most likely was a in the past shot. Could we have regular troops arrive to save Jericho in the fight to come?

In the preview for the next ep they show a flag flying that is a variation on the current US flag (less stars in a different pattern, vertical stripes), maybe one of the (seven?) governments will have troops in the area to break things up.

It could have been a great show had they not alienated 75% of their viewers with extremely boring story lines for the first half of the season. It felt like a soap opera which just happened to occur following a nuclear strike.

So they start off the episode with a huge convoy of bad boys and then the ardennes story. Guess we can tell what's about to happen :)
