Stream of Consciousness TV Blogging: Jericho
Recaps. Everyone who hasn't been on screen is dead.
Post-apoc foreshadowing.
Hazmat? Radation suit?
Won't the radiation still be there after the rain?
The mine's sealed. Still seems like an idiot plot to me.
More exposition. Yawn.
Someone's upstairs. Bet it's the cat; it's too eaarly in the ep to be anyone else.
We'll find out if the rain's radioactive, I guess. I should see if any physicists are nitpicking this show.
Maybe you shouldn't say that over the walkie-talkie, hmm?
Claustrophobia as drama.
What's wrong with the mayor?
Of course she can smoke, she's the Designated Hot Girl in the scene.
Ah, the flu.
Nothing says "let's make out" like dead family members.
More angst. Is he nauseated from stress or radiation poisoning? Do I care?
"That used to be Denver." Aww. It was better on the Doctor Who Christmas Special.
So everyone's ok. Meh. Boring. Couldn't they have had some kind of plot development in there?
Ok, so claustrophobic guy's dead. That could be interesting if he was killed by someone in an attempt to just knock him out to avert a panic. But it'll probably be just a heart attack and the folks who came up with the mines idea will angst about it.
Hee. Spider powers. First good line of the series.
Yup. Heart attack.
How it looks? Dude, where did these other kids come from?
And now they're striking out to see what happened.
And the heavy-handed inclusion of the ep title with "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse."
Lots of bombs (or something) hit apparently. Nothing we didn't already know. I suppose I could freeze-frame and see where was hit, but why?
Why do they think it's war? Because an Asian broadcaster covered it?
Lots more human drama.
Big cookout. Like on the "Everybody Hates Hugo" ep of Lost.
Why does he care? Because she's young and skinny.
Yep. Here's the drama.
And we've got a dictatorship on our hands. Because every good survivalist story needs a strong leader who brooks no opposition.
There's really not a episode plot this time, is there? I'm actually longing for the crooks in the farmhouse from last week.
There really needs to be a "holy crap" moment by the end of the ep or I'm giving up on this show. (I know, I'm all talk.)
Okay, there was some neglect there. But not sinister, just pathetic.
Shep's suicidal now. Which means there's something else out there his way.
Reverse POV shots suck.
Plane crash? Landing?
Flight recording. Will it tell us what happened? At least it's more interesting than the rest of the ep.
Why do they always shout "pull up"? Do they think the pilot just forgot?
So the fiance's all right. Of course he is.
Cookout. Gotta have the penultimate scene be an affirmation of humanity with a pop song playing over it.
That guy looks like the straight-laced Lone Gunman.
They try, but they're just not teh pretty the way the guys on Heroes, Lost and Supernatural are.
And the final cliffhangery twist: walling something up?
Guess it's not final.
Train wreck. What an apt metaphor.
Shipment's here, I guess. Is that Third Eye Blind playing?
That's it? Whatever.
