Jericho - anyone still watching?

[Grymar]

I watched the first few episodes, but I tired of it quickly. At that point the one son was the focus of the show (I assume he still is, but I don't know) and it was beyond reason how he was required to do everything. He even had to show the TOWN MINERS where to put the explosives to collapse their own mine.

Overall it had some potential, but I found the characters uninteresting and the plot holes too huge for me to suspend belief.

Just my opinion. I'm glad it seems to be getting better.

Intriguing. When the good mayor Green is running the town for the first half of the first season, it was boring. Now that bad mayor Gray is running the town, it's interesting. I guess you need that kind of drama.

They killed April?! Like, huh?

This episode lost me somewhere. She died but it felt so undramatic and forced on me.

I'm good with April's death - didn't care much for her. (Though I do agree with DonTadow that it was undramatic and forced - I felt the same way... but being so filled with apathy for the character, I just shrugged and waited for more interesting stuff to happen.)

They just need to show a lot of Stanley - that guy rocks harder in every episode he's in.

Probably because they see no story or plot potential for her character, or that the love-triangle arc ain't going to work. Which is why they sent Eric to New Bern, to give them time to set up a different story. Hope it won't be a love-triangle between the Green brothers (Erick and Jake) and schoolteacher Heather (sent off to New Bern earlier to help design windmill turbines).

BTW, a hypothetical scenario question: is it possible to make homemade solar cells (or photovoltaic)?

while this episode was a bit blah, I rather liked the foreshadowing of the breakdown of society that is going on... the group with the windmills essentially kidnapping 10 Jericho residents to ensure they get the food they bargained for. This could be interesting down the road... war between two surviving cities?

Not only that, but the mayor of Jericho planning to purchase windmills that he knew he wouldn't be able to pay for, when payment came due.

I'm wondering if they're going to breeze through the winter, or if those characters will be gone for many episodes, or if they're setting it up for the season finale, or what?

I really got into Invasion by the end last year....I really hope that Jericho doesn't finish the season with a half-told story, and then get dropped, like Invasion did.

Or he's trying to, which would explain the trailer for the next episode (he's removing the refugees from Jericho).

one has to wonder at just how bright the windmill makers are though... they are already having a hard time with food and then they take on 10 more mouths to feed?
