What post-apocalyptic calamity will the town face this week?
Townsperson: "Somebody's stolen the bake sale money!"
[Zoom in on Skeet]
Skeet: "Now how is the band supposed to buy new uniforms?"

Stop threadcrapping!
I'm sure the stock boy will find a truck on the highway full of uniforms just in time. Or did the horse rustlers find them first?

Those were some serious burritos!
I'm not sure if I'd like warm unpasturized cow milk with my breakfast cereal, either. Yech. At least the IRS lady finally acknowledges the incineration of every one she knew and loved.
Shop lady pushed her stockboy just a little too hard on the musicbox, now who's gonna haul the food from the train to your store? Heh.
Jake's showdown with Jonah was a little cheesy since they continue to talk around in circles on past events. Emily has a choice father, doesn't she?
The Hawkins really need a Dr. Phil intervention...

"There has been too much violence, too much pain. Just walk away. Give me the bake sale money, and I'll spare your lives. Just walk away, and there will be an end to the horror."

Sounds like a plan to me.

Is it just me, or does every character mumble their dialogue?
I'm always having to replay scenes on Jericho (which isn't exactly a thrill) just to try and decipher what was said.
Things I Would Like To See On Jericho (If The Writers Are Reading This)
- Have characters speak clearly, and quit fucking mumbling
- I don't care about bearded Eric, his affair, or his wife. Can they die?
- Ditto for radioactive farmboy and bitchy IRS woman
- Ashley Scott needs to wear more revealing clothes
- Bitchy-but-cute high school girl needs to have her busty, bikini-model sister from college (I just invented her) return home
- More death and destruction: this is the end of the world, after all
- Stop with the cheesey shoot-outs and fistfights
- More Mysterious Hawkins/Dawkins/whatever and his backstory
- Can we cutback on the musical montages just a bit? We get it, the characters are tormented and troubled, yet oddly at peace by episode end. We don't need jiveass lyrics reinforcing the point.
- Can we make the storylines a little darker? Missiles have been launched, cities have been destroyed, EMPs are flying around, yet we have to sit through high-school-play-choreographed fistfights at abandoned airports with a Depp-clone vs a Sawyer-wannabe and his ponytailed henchmen.

His bio at IMDB is far more amusing than this show.
