Stream of Consciousness TV Blogging: Jericho

Previously:  bombs go off.  People have drama, especially redheads.

Long previouslies, because nobody watches this show but me.

Fighter planes.  That means we're at war?  They flew overhead plenty in California.  But I guess Kansas isn't California.

"I'm compromised"?  Is it supposed to be a mystery who he's working for?

EMP?  And they all know this how, because the power went out?  And how did the "end transmission" work if all the electronics are fried?

"2 weeks later"?  WTF?  Nothing happened of note?  Or is this told backward?

The mayor still has the flu?

How long until they become a Heinleinian survivalist community?

And so the gangs and bullies are taking over already?

I don't care about these people's love lives!

Yeah, because she is totally authorized to do that.

Can we *not* rely on the stereotype of the useless government worker?

Horse thieves.  It's a western now?

They really need to show how they got here from last episode.

So the economy's on barter now?

With a name like Mitch Cafferty, of course he's a thief.

More pointless love triangle drama.

Whiny Mayor Simon.

So more economic issues.  This could be interesting, but would be better as a book.

So the kid's in with the horse thieves?

Backstory.

Not in a position to make threats now, are you?

Lame-ass fight.

Nice Vulcan Neck Pinch.

But you have to take a credit card?  Yeah, because I have so much faith in the First Bank of Radioactive Crater.

Like that's a scary cliffhanger.  He'll just explain what it is, we won't hear the explanation, and that'll be that.

A little explanation, but not much.  

He's totally the Heinleinian ubermensch here.

Gah.  The IRS agent is so obviously meant to be annoying, it's ... well, annoying in a different way.

Lame-ass confrontation.

Awful acting.

Shooting Vanilla Ice is a nice touch.

Oh, just make out.

Here to help.  It's easier with a montage (Wallflowers?)

So are they burning the corn or harvesting the part soaked in gasoline?

Still don't care about these people, even if Dr. Redhead is kinda cute.

Photoshopping memories.

I freeze framed just for "Screw this town"?  Not that I disagree.
