Jericho

[CAgirl]

I'm still enjoying the show. The only thing is I keep staring at the brother because he looks so familiar. But I've looked him up and I've never seen anything else he's been in. I've concluded that it's because he looks so much like Ed Norton. Does anyone else see the resemblance?

Thank you CAGirl! It was bugging me too and you are correct, he does have a resemblance to Ed Norton. I looked him up on imdb and he wasn't in anything else I remember so I think you got it.

I am enjoying the show, despite the inconsistent thought process of some of the citizens of Jericho. I have to say, I have been enjoying Strega's recaps over on TWoP.

Damn. I just missed Anderson explanation of what happened. Can someone fill me in.

[whatever]

Who was Anderson? The guy they call Gray? He hitched a ride with a FEMA truck full of water (I guess after the pulse), they were pulled over and attacked at a road block, and the bandits killed the driver. He walked back to Jericho.

A bomb hit Laurence but not Topeka, and no one knows where the governor is. NY was not hit because the NYPD found the guys with the bomb and stopped them just before they were going to detonate a 20 kilaton mega bomb - go NYPD!

Me, too. (San Diego)

Me three. (Washington, D.C.)

Oh, and where are other countries? Aren't they sending in aide?

And if the bombs were set off and not dropped, then who had the EM missiles that took out all of their power?

And if the bombs were set off from barrels, then does that explain Hawkins barrel? We he supposed to set off a bomb and didn't?

I watch this every week because my friend is really into it, but dayum! When is something interesting going to happen? It's the Anti-Seinfeld! A show "about nothing" managed to be entertaining while the people behind this snoozefest have taken a premise that should have been a rich source of material and turned it into mattress advertising. PLEASE, Jericho brain trust, a freakin' zombie or two! Hell, at this point, a three-legged dog would be a welcome sight.

ETA: In fairness, this POS has given me one really good moment so far. When hitting the 'info' button on VOD for any program, there's a message reading: "actors not available" which led my friend to figure out that that's why the producers had to "use these people instead".

You'll probably like it tonight...they encounter other survivors. I'm hoping for a zombie or two myself. Of course, I have to miss it tonight and rely on the TWOP recap.

The other survivors weren't so much fun, except for the doctor. The whole creepy thing with the interrogation of Hawkins and his family was too much. Who would allow that crap in their home? I wouldn't. I'd be all up in their faces and telling them that I want to search their houses. And I don't believe for a minute that Hawkins is FBI. I'm sure that he has a ton of fake IDs. That's probably what's in his barrel. I wonder if we'll see D.B. Sweeney again? I don't like him being a bad guy. And at least we know what Jake was doing for part of the time - being a mercenary in Iraq. But why won't he tell anyone? They already think he's a creep, why not just spill the beans. I keep hoping for more from this show but it's pretty lame.

I thought he said he wasn't a merc? I thought he just knew about the merc outfit because he worked for a Haliburtan type company driving truck in Iraq.

I so want this show to work but I am being bored to death.

I missed the first 15 minutes. Did they explain who did the bombing?
