The wallet thing bugs me. Why does he need a wallet to begin with? Does he need to stop at the ATM on the way? Buy gas on his credit card?
And why was the wallet in his jacket, and not in his back pocket like normal men?
Dolores, this is Jericho, remember, the only show capable of making a post-apocolyptic nuclear Holocaust… boring, this is a typical, formulaic show, utterly predictable and mind-numbingly dull, the only redeeming traits it has is MST’ing it and generally snarking about it here and on TWOP
i’ll make a prediction right now, the mercenaries will make it to Jericho, Mayor Dad will be healthy and be no worse for wear from his medical misadventures in the last two episodes, midway through the episode, it’ll look grim for the Purina Zombie Chow™…err…Jerichoans, but SuperSkeet will pull some miracle out of his arse at the last possible second, the town will gather together and sing “Kum-by-ya”, and we’ll find out some deep, hidden secret about Hawkins at the very last minute (he’s not FBI, he’s actually employed by Umbrella, INC., and Jericho is the latest test site for T-Virus based bioweapons, most likely), the show will fade out to the sounds of some talent-impaired, “Just-Add-Water” “Instant Music” pop "star"m and the “suspense” built up in the next episode will be spoiled by previews from next week’s ep.
hopefully next week the Radioactive Zombies will arrive for an “All-You-Can-Eat” Human Buffet…
Well, one thing I didn’t expect them to get right was the type of medicine Dad needed to fight his infection. When April told the boys to get Cipro, I thought to myself, WTF? Cipro isn’t going to cut it. It’s an oral medication and useless at the mayor’s level of infection. I know, I’ve been there. I’ve had a couple of severe infections and had to take Vancomycin, via I.V. Although Levaquin is also an appropriate medication in that situation. So it’s a good thing there was a doctor around to tell Jake and Eric the correct medication to take back.
Jerico is following Lost’s airing scheme. New episodes until November, then a long break, and new episodes in February with no reruns.

The only redeeming feature of this show right now is there is nothing else on on Weds nite in that time slot and I’m getting sick of HGTV and Discovery Theater. Don’t know if I will come back in February or if it will even come back. I don’t hear the same kind of talk about it like I’m hearing about Heros IRL.
Why the hell do you bother to watch the show if you hate it so much?
Me, I enjoy it. Not Shakespeare, but definitely better than Shark.
I finally gave up on it. Each episode had a glimmer of a good idea, something interesting, but those glimmers aren’t enough to make up for the rest of it.
I don’t believe that anything that’s happened in Jericho would happen in real life. I don’t care what happens to any of the characters and I don’t care about the Jake and Hawkins “mysteries”, or who’s behind the attacks.
Another hour freed up!
I hate when shows are too chicken shit to have a main character kill people.
Are there anything remotely like those domestic mercenaries as portrayed in the episode? I guess they needed a convenient way of portraying people with military equipment and tactics without potentially being offensive by having our characters kill or be killed by the US military. But that sort of conflict is part of what makes post-apoc fiction good - large elements of the military might disband, go rogue, and kill and pillage. We can’t possibly portray nasty things like that, though - this has to be a wholesome, family-oriented nuclear apocalypse show. :rolleyes:
They should’ve tried to ambush and kill the ravenwood guys, and stole their equipment. You have a probably hostile force well equipped in the area willing to kill and pillage - they are a big threat to you and your town, you should take them down when you had the chance.
Jake killed a guy in the second (possibly third?) episode and has shown no hesitation to do it again.
Last season I didn’t bother with Lost after it went on hiatus but did eventually watch the eps during the summer because I was bored and slightly interested in what happened.
But the odds I’ll save this show and watch it during the summer?
It kills me after the episode when they announce: “Can’t get enough Jericho? Go to the official Jericho website and…”
Ha, ha, ha!
Sorry, I meant in a premeditated fashion - as in, killing this person is the prudent thing to do, so they do it.
It’s sort of like movies where the hero doesn’t kill the villain, so at the last second the villain pulls a weapon, and the hero is forced to… you know, the remove any sort of interesting ambiguity from the story.
