2. I watch it because I thought the premise was interesting but
they barely do enough to keep me week after week

It's ok, but it's no "Heroes" in my book :shrug:

7. Still watching, but have lost some interest since
the first few episodes of the season. I won't say anything about tonight's show in the interest of avoiding spoilers, but I'm just not crazy about the direction the show's taken...

15. Well...
I think it's over for west coasters, but I'll put a warning here.


SPOILERS BELOW























So basically Jake and the gang get back from New Bern (the town they were in where they discovered the arms factory). Tell everyone what was going on, and the New Bern lead guy (forgot his name) sends in a messenger with a walky-talky to talk to Gray Anderson. They are told that they have 4 hours before attacks begin and some thumb fiddling goes for that time period until which time morters start falling on Jericho (bombs, killing people, etc). They stop after just two hits and tell Gray that they have an hour to comply with their demands (give up 6 of their farms, half the salt mine, etc). Gray then hightails it into the bomb shelter while Jake and gang (including Hawkins, Emily, Johnston, and even Jonah) went to stop the morters from being lobbed at the town. BTW, it doesn't quite work out like that, what happened was Jake, Emily and Johnston saw a truck going up to replenish the morter launching guys, intercepted it (with Hawkins playing sniper) and then Jonah drove up and saw them in action, said he'd help. So anyway, they get to the morter area, pull some tense trickery (told the people food was in the back of the truck while it had everyone in it). But then the driver gets out, runs and warns the other guys about what was happening. A long gunfight insues with Jonah coming from behind and taking everyone out. The most dramatic part was when Jonah points a gun at the non-mortally wounded driver (the one who'd betrayed them), and shoots him as Johnston yells "NO!" After that we go back to Gray Anderson STILL HIDING IN THE BUNKER (pulling a GWB no less), and everyone arrives and lets him know that the morter guys were taken out. Gray Anderson then gets a call on the walky-talky which basically says, "It's war."

End.

























END SPOILERS

20. BTW, you can watch it on cbs.com now. :) (Or download it from iTunes.)
Just thought I'd give you a heads up since you missed it. My overview was short, and it left out some bits with Dale. :)

11. I love the show.
I did not watch it at first, but my Mom turned me on to it and now I don't miss it! It's going to be a long summer!

14. They pulled a "Heroes" and started revealing a lot of stuff.
Once the season break was over (and a few episodes before the break began) a lot of stuff was revealed. Now it's more of a survivalist type thing, with some vagueness as to what happened and how the rest of the country is dealing with it.

16. I like the kid
who owns the grocery store. Dale?

He is the revenge of the nerds. Now he is turning into a powerhouse.

He will need Johnson to reign him in morally, or he will end up ruthless and autocratic, owning much of the town.

18. I also checked out after the first couple of episodes.
Did they ever address the question of why everyone isn't going bald, vomiting, and dying from massive radiation exposure?

19. Yeah, they did.
Hawkins showed Jake a map of potential "fallout zones" and Jericho was well outside any predicted fallout zone. I imagine that such zone predictions do exist in the back rooms somewhere in the government, though if we had All Out Nuclear War wouldn't matter.

So yeah, Jericho was safe, and they did go to towns where the fallout hit and the people in those places were basically vomitting up their brains (not literally).

21. Well, I might start if
Edited on Mon May-07-07 01:34 AM by mvd
I see Candace Bailey (Skylar) more - she could definitely make my next crush list. It would be hard to take out any, but maybe I could take out Bree Sharp. The crush on Bree would be there, but she'd be in honorable mentions. Candace is playing a lot younger than she is - she's really almost 25 - so no problem there. And the show itself looks well done. I happened to come across the show tonight.

23. I loved the show at first but am starting to drift from it
Loved the who dunnit aspect of the attacks and the mystery surrounding it all. It's ok now, but...I don't know like something has changed in it and I am not so enthralled anymore. If you want a hoot go onto its official website and read the boards. Man conservatives really do not like this show because it is not what would "really" happen. What "really" would happen would be the federal government would continue, the chain of command would not be contested, the military would stay in check, and we would live happily ever after cause, well, there's rules for this kinda stuff. Or something.
