Brand spanking new episode alert for those of you who cheated and downloaded the 1st 3 episodes!

Synopsis:

Trelach24

I find myself looking more and more forward to this show every week.

Spaces in thread titles!

second season has been pretty boring for me..i wish they would have taken the skirmish between jericho and the neighboring town a bit farther this season. It was much more interesting

kvrdave

DVR missed the last one, dangit. I'll have to find that first.

Red Dog

I totally disagree. The new government, it's politics and the apparent coup d'etat, and Hawkins working against it are far more interesting to me.

Rockmjd23

Yeah I think this is the natural progression of the story. We're done with the 'Jericho is isolated, fighting it's neighbors after the bomb' part. It's about bringing down the conspiracy and new government, though I'm not sure they can do all that in 8 or whatever episodes.

Red Dog

And let's face it - the Jericho being isolated plotline - they way they handled it anyway - was ridiculous. They made post-apocolyptic nuclear war look like a cakewalk....what time does the bar open?

Go to CBS.com to watch the previous episode.

Thanks for the reminder! It's been so long since I saw the 1st 3 eps.

Jimmy James

Hot damn, that episode certainly ratcheted things up quite a bit. The first episode of the season was by far the weakest, and I think they have been getting better and better each time. These episodes require a suspension of disbelief because it's pretty obvious they have to take a number of story shortcuts to fit everything they want to cover into 8 episodes, but it's not so bad.

I do have to say that I really rather liked the standoff with the deaf girl. If she could hear, she probably wouldn't have been so eager to go out. If she could hear, it would have also been far more plausible for her to go out. When she chose to run out the house before Mimi could stop her, it made it pretty obvious somebody else had to have been there. I just don't quite get why they didn't find Mimi. That was a loose end I just don't see Ravenwood guy leaving.

Red Dog

OK - we had nasty downpours here and it screwed up my dish btwn the :45 and :55 of the episode. Can someone say what happened btwn when the Ravenwood guy started questioning Mimi and when Hawkins was on the cell phone with Deep Throat?

Scorpio

HOLY SHIT! These past two weeks have had me nervous as hell while watching.

Jimmy James

I think it was mostly that deaf girl had a shootout with Ravenwood at the farm. No, that's not a joke.

You saw them get Dale out, right?

Jimmy James

I just went back and looked at the map of the 25 sites. They make far too little sense if you think about it. You don't need to nuke Chicago and then waste one of your 25 on Indianapolis. You don't need to nuke both Columbus and Pittsburgh, particularly when you are also hitting Detroit. Worse than those geographic issues is the lack of any bombs in a contiguous 8 state belt from Virginia (which, I grant, would feel a heavy impact from the DC nuke) down to Louisiana. If nothing else, you ditch Indy and bomb Memphis just to contaminate more area.

Silly Burrito

I hope this show gets picked up for another season. It's really getting interesting now. I still can't believe what happened tonight!

Red Dog

Yeah - I saw them get Dale out and I saw her corpse. It's the part in between I'm fuzzy on.

Jimmy James

I'm really pretty sure that's all that happened. They pulled up in their Hummer, Goetz or whatever his name is called for anybody inside to go out. Mimi told Bonnie (I'm looking up names) that they were there and Bonnie decided to go tell them Mimi wasn't there. Goetz told her he was coming in, and she ran back inside. Mimi hid in what looked like a pantry while Bonnie got out the boomstick and finished off about 4 Ravenwood guys with 5 shots of the trusty double barrel before we heard one final shot, saw that Mimi had been clipped by bullets that came flying by, and that was that.

During the time you missed, CBS took a local news break and also had a national primary break.

Jimmy James

BTW, am I the only one utterly depressed that the AI thread has 4 times the traffic this one does? Disgusting.

Red Dog

What did Ravenwood honcho say to Mimi? That's when I got cut off. Did they go to the farm to basically kill everyone? What happened to Ravenwood honcho in the shootout?

Jimmy James

We are left by the number of shots and the shot of Stanley holding Bonnie to believe that the Ravenwood guy killed Bonnie and left without discovering Mimi. I'd guess he has the ledger Mimi had at the farm. I don't see him leaving without finding and taking care of Mimi, but it appears that's what we are left to assume happened.

Before that, Ravenwood guy asked Mimi for her ledger, and she said she needed to be independent if she was going to do an independent audit. He insisted she bring the ledger in, and she clearly very grudgingly agreed to bring it in the next day for "safekeeping".

Scorpio

Honcho said that he wanted her ledger. They went to the farm to get it, and Bonnie told Mimi what they had done to Dale. Honcho shot Bonnie.

cracksky

I'm pretty sure Bonnie was hit with an early shot through the wall and the shotgun footage from her was in her head as she lay dying from her wounds. It's how she wish things had gone.

Jimmy James

Then why were there so many shots fired that Mimi saw? I have to say I like your creativity because that's a shooting performance that is a bit tough to swallow, but I don't think that's the way the show actually wanted us to take those events.

ETA: Besides, why wouldn't she kill the Ravenwood guy if this was a fantasy?

Red Dog

OK Thanks.

If they repeat these on cbs.com, I'll have to watch that part again; sigh, hopefully I can FF.
