Jericho - "Rogue River" - 11/08/06
My apologies to MrX, but I wanted to post the story below, because I don't know if anyone was aware that they were doing it this way (ala Lost). I've been out of the loop for about 3 months now.

I don't believe the above story needs to be spoiled. Chris edited to add: maybe it does :confused: |
Just a comment on the quality of this show since the first couple of episodes. I only started reading your posts about this show a couple of days ago and it seems that I agree with most of you, this show has gone down the crapper.
I'm only watching it live right now, because it looks great in HDTV, but the writing and acting has become laughable. What started out as a smartly written story about what our future could be, has turn into a pedestrian tale of infighting between the town folks. There's a big world out there, Jerichoians, get out there and explore it. Damn it. :D Chris |
In tonight's episode, Skeet arrives in Rogue River to find that they have problems of their own. The bombs hit before the homecoming king and queen were selected! Now, its up to Skeet to save the day and make sure that the school elects two students for these all-important positions!
Also: Hawkins does something mysterious. |

I hope there's a musical montage and a badly choregraphed shoot-out and/or fistfight.

As much as I'm looking forward to tonight's bad episode, it will probably get preemted with some Gears of War.

This episode wasn't bad, at least in comparison to what we've seen to date. The Rogue River stuff is how this show should have been from the beginning (as opposed to the "Let's make ice!" sub-plot, which has been what we've seen to date).

What is this a 1998 episode of Seinfeld? I thought technology/technique had improved since then. |

I still like the theme of the show and I thought this ep was pretty good to be honest.. Got out of the city, some random gun play, little peek into where the one brother was the last 5 years and we got to see what another city etc.. way better then "We need fuel" or "We need air" or "We need power" themed eps that past few months.. right now the biggest thing that still bugs me about the show was also mentioned in another posts above, everyone just acts like the nukes were an inconvenience. |
I gave up on this a couple of weeks ago. Has anything of note been revealed, like who did the bombing, or what the deal with Hawkins is?
|
Did I hear right - FEMA moved people to a tent city three miles away? Sounds like a nuke plan to me, I feel safer already!
|
This episode was a lot better than the all of the rest.
Plus I learned how to make ice from water, fertilizer, and aluminum bowls (plastic ones don't work) |
