Jericho - anyone still watching?

[lrsach01]

And ex-Mayor Green.....I'm wondering why he hasn't brought up the idea of using the tank, yet?

I bet we'll see it next week....with Deus ex Machina emblazened across its side.

I was a bit curious about the preview for the season finale. It showed a clip from an earlier episode where the school teacher (can't remember her name) was at the swap meet. She looks up at the flag which has far fewr thatn 50 stars and they are arranged in a hexagon. Why show her in that clip? Were they teasing her return or reminding us of the weird flag?

I haven't seen the entire season, only catching on slightly before that long break. But the last few weeks? Is it ever getting tense! Kind of depressing to see them handing out weapons to ordinary civilians...I guess the point being that none of them can afford to be innocents any longer.

Yeah, that's what I think. I believe that they've been hinting that Jericho is outgunned (including population-wise) by New Bern.

I, too, think the writing and story-telling has improved by leaps and bounds over the beginning; and seems to continually improve after every episode.

Did Stanley have military experience, like with Jake or something? Something said several episodes ago led me to think that he might.

No idea - though if he did, he might have been more careful with his rangers when first attacking the mortar position (based on what Jake and his dad were yelling in the background before Gray gave the order to move in).

But in any case, Stanley gets better and better in each episode - even though he wasn't shown all that much just this past episode, the scenes they did show him in made him look really cool. I don't know why...

well, not a real DeM, we all know about it and where it came from...

...biggest question is, is there any fuel for it?

Depends on what kind of tank it was.

IIRC, at least some of our tanks use a turbine engine (i.e., jet engine) for power and essentially run on kerosene.

The others (again, IIRC, I'm not exactly an expert in military hardware) run on diesel.

Which are both used in farming towns like Jericho. Then again tanks aren't mileage friendly I am guessing.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was getting at. They may not be able to drive the tank long (or very far), but they should be able to fuel it.

Especially given that I think I heard the mayor mumble something about brewing bio-diesel, which should allow for the production of kerosene as well.

I need to get caught up. What was the most recent episode number?

1x21 - Coalition of the Willing

I think this one uses diesel... IIRC, part of the scam those people tried to pull was to get a big bunch of diesel to get the tank away from Jericho.... would that make it an older M-60, or does the M-1 use diesel also?

Google to the rescue!

The M1 uses a turbine engine and can run on Gas, Diesel or Jet Fuel. It also gets less than 1 MPG.
