Jericho - anyone still watching?

[Ranger REG]

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?

They need collateral. Holding hostages would give residents of Jericho an incentive to hold up their end of the bargain.

I'd bet those Jericho windmill makers get treated (if only slightly) with less rations than the real towns citizens.

I dunno. How has Jericho treated their refugees? (Stay tuned next episode.)

and that's another thing... if the Jericho men are actually going to help build windmills, they'll know how to do it and return to Jericho with that knowledge. I suspect the windmill makers (dang it, what was the name of their town?) are planning something bad.... like disposing of the Jericho men to keep the technical know-how to themselves and have something to sell. I suspect that's why Heather didn't return... they're holding her there because she knows how to build a windmill power unit. Of course, I suppose the Jericho men might be used for something else (chop wood or something) instead of building windmills...

...still, it's a good bet there's war in the future...

I'm hoping the whole town went cannibal. However it'd be a shame if Heather ended up as brunch.

Actually, Jericho had that knowledge, in the form of schoolteacher Heather. They just don't have the raw material nor a facility.

New Bern.

Decent episode tonight. I'm glad that they're making progress on Hawkins' storyline. It definitely seems like things are sliding into anarchy.

The other town could also be an easy way to start getting rid of actors, if they were planning to cancel the show, but finish out the season....

Hopefully that's not the case. Things are getting pretty tight on this show. A lot of things going on. Wonder how long it takes those guys to figure out that Robert is on to them.

And the constable, the bigger fellow...can't remember his name...seems like at the end of the episode, he caught onto the mention of terrorists having fake FBI badges, which was broadcast over the radio. Then it cuts in to Robert's badge sitting on his desk. Robert may not get a chance to deal with those buyers.

Did they ever say why Robert didn't detonate his bomb? Did he have a crisis of conscience? Seems to me that the fact that a bomb is sitting in Jericho is bound to become a plot point at some point. And if the villagers ever find out about Robert's true identity, he's probably dead meat.

I found the episode to be pretty enjoyable, but suffered from the "all wrapped up in a neat little packet" syndrome, as Homer Simpson would say.

How can all the refugees stay if Gray "ran the numbers" so many times? Oh look - I guess we can keep the refugees. How 'bout that? A little ty at running the numbers, ain't ya, Gray?

This was a pretty good episode. Unless he's playing Jake, it seems that Robert's actually one of the good guys. I guess it explains why he's not running around, trying to sell that nuke.

The show seems pretty tight lately.
