Watch it tonight! its gonna be a good one.
Jericho.
- Thread starter InsideMan
- Start date
i was thinking along the lines that, if your entire family has to come up with false identities, its probably a tad bit dysfunctionalitious. cant say from experience, but maybe.
I agree cuz the plot arch requires it.
How awesome is Heroes? I loved that Hiro showed up from the future, that was cool.
OMG.....it just keeps getting better....when Hiro showed up at the end I almost wet myself when the scene ended cause....well....I just want the whole story.....damn it....another 6 days.....aaarrrggghhh...
I missed The Unit last night though...argh.
ad Squirrel:
OK, were those rockets or jets at the end of the episode?
Another good episode. I guess another one of the unspoken perks of being an Amex Black cardholder is advanced notice of nuclear war.
ICBMs with nuke warheads.
Wonder why no one came to the podium for the Emergency Alert System? It's cuz the fvcking gov't only wanted the power back on -- which automatically activated the EAS, but no one was home -- just so they could launch the ICBMs to retaliate.
Ok i'll only watch it now on because i need something to do before LOST.
4th episode (maybe 5th i forget) and their still just selling groceries like there will be an endless supply. WATER (ok they kind of addressed that because of the fires?) sure there's plenty nor worries. The only person who has even mentioned conservation is the black dude.
They have EVERY reason to believe they are under attack but nobody is concerned about the basic necessities of life. That’s bad writing.
Rules of emergency situations:
Water
Food
Shelter

completely agree, but while it's the fifth episode, we don't know how long it's been since the attack. I would've liked them to periodically post timelines. Maybe it's been only three or four days. They could still be in denial.
I thought they did post a quick timeline at the beginning of the episode - I think it said something like '4 days after the attack' for the episode this week.
4days? 4DAYS? At the 4 day mark i'd of already lOOTed all the beer and ramen noodles in town.
i'd be sittin back in my hammock smokin a spliff drinking a red strip waitin for my FEMA check.

Hillarious, wheres my hand out! Someone needs to make a spoof about Hurrican Katrina and Jericho, any suggestions anyone???
Actual in the first (or maybe second) episode the grocery got cleared out immediately. The kid who works there found the stopped train on the tracks with the food shipment. That's how they got the resupply.
I agree that there is a lot less panic from people than you'd imagine, but I think it's pretty plausible. They're just portraying the people as having a wait and let the government help sort of attitude (although not completely). A bunch of the characters are still acting as if nothing is all that different.
why do they hang out in the bar all the time?! I would run out to the middle of nowhere and become a hermit and build a small cabin with an under ground bunker so the North Koreans couldnt find me.
Satelite Cable or something? The other TV's didn't get the live feed of the podium. Right?
Before that I guess that is where a small town would congregate when their TV's are out. I mean if LOST isn't on, I am going drinking.
that's what i do.
i mean seriously it's not like the polar bear on LOST, i can over look that. jerico is like maybury rfd on acid.
it's a union bear. He takes certain scenes off.....besides...it's just some teamseter with a stick goin', "Yo....I'm a bear..."
So the ICBM's must have been launched locally to cause all that ruckus. I missed the first couple episodes, do they live near a missle facility?
I don't remember silos being mentioned, but I sure can imagine a little town in the middle of nowhere being near silos. They wouldn't put 'em near big towns, ya know, just in case of an accident.
as for ruckus, that's TV magic baby!
I agree they are always in podunk towns for obvious reasons...did they actually give a good view of the missles? I was probably f'ing around and missed it.
yeah, the groung shoke which was funny and you could see them headed up into the sky. It's kinda funny they picked a CO town for this as there are no ICBM silos in CO.
Click your heels Alice, it ain't in Colorado.
:huh: I thought it was on the eastern (plains) part of Colorado too. Where they be?
ure just thinking about all the denver remarks. they are 2 hours away. jericho, kansas.
how 'bout that...the Denver remarks did throw me I guess.
On another note, it appears Hawkins' laptop was in Russian. Interesting twist that I can't put together quite yet.
I got annoyed when the radioactive storm blew in from Denver. They said it normally "takes two hours for a storm to blow in from Denver."
I turned to my woman and said, "WTF? I've driven Denver through Kansas, that's bullsh!t."
She said, "It's probably two hours distance from when they see the storm that's coming from Denver. Not actually a storm in Denver."

New week, new thoughts?
I expected the town gathering to harvest...
But I am a good old boy that way. Hell the TV is dead, nothing else to do.

But I am a good old boy that way. Hell the TV is dead, nothing else to do. disappointed. Losing interest.
The only two characters of interest are the black govt dude and Skeet ulrich's character.
they said yesterday that it's been four weeks since the nukes. They haven't begun planning on what to do. Here's the kicker... they haven't even said that they need to plan.
Too many of the characters are wooden, undeveloped, characatures. I mean, it's what, five episodes so far? Maybe I'm spoiled, but I'd have thought that the actors would've started owning their roles by now.
I take that back, the kid in the grocery store and the girl who's becoming friends with him, they're pretty good actors.
The corn farm owner and IRS agent, the mayor and his wife, the mayor's older son and his wife... They're actually worse now.
Heroes now, that show is developing very nicely.
I've downloaded some Torchwood episodes from UK. Sounds interesting.

No it wasnt, where did you see that.
Did you see the end of last nights episode? what the heck is up with Jake and the dude in jail? seems like they are in on something together, and what the hell did he do for the past four years he was gone? The black govt dude found him in a govt database with tons of countrys Jake had visited. Dont stop watching now, things look to be taking a twist.
russian letter characters flashed on screen. He might've been hacking into something, so no definitive answer to anything.
I never saw any russian letters, are you sure it just wasnt in code.....encrypted maybe. I want to know what it is he does excactly, NSA, CIA, foriegn govt agency?!
the website was Russian Hotmail / MSN Messenger portal.
I'm guessing that all the web hosts, switching stations and backbones in the USA were targeted.
After all, the internet was designed to survive a war because it's distributed and decentralized. However, enemies know this and if they target key points, they isolate various internet nodes.
That said, there had to be a web provider in town and probably hosting a few websites. So those should've still been accessible to local dial-ins.
Rambling aside, if the US internet was swiss-cheesed, but a major russian internet backbone was still running, then it makes sense to use the satellite uplink to connect to that network.
It doesn't mean war with Russians, just that Russia wasn't targeted... yet.

Interesting point. I hope he has a few batteries for that panosonic laptop, or he'll be in the dark to. Those things are expensive!
so what do you do in Denver?
