Jericho season 2 thread

Wow. That was an action-packed episode, the best I've seen to this point. And, yes, Morales is incredible. I didn't watch NYPD Blue, but this guy deserves a shot at a big movie again.

After watching the first season online, I'm glad that things are actually happening in this short (seven episode?) run.

On a side note, has anyone else noticed that in the first two episodes, Mimi has had a larger role in wearing less?

Just a thought.

They shot this last summer, so no surprise.

Wow. Finally saw Ep. 4. Guess when they only give you seven episodes, you end up with some serious action.

Holy Crap! This show is helping me miss 24 a lot less. Nice episode. DB Sweeney has never looked more miserable. That last sequence with the shootout at Stanley's Farm was very well done. Loved the line, "this isn't Red Dawn."
I don't know if the show will continue, but if it is going out, it will be going out strong indeed. Both Guns Blazing.

Poor girl never heard it coming...

Is there any doubt that she will be the Crispus Attucks/USS Maine/United 93 of the coming revolution.

I was thinking more Joan of Arc or the Alamo, but yes.

I am excited that Hawkins will be forced to go duel pistols in next week's episode (via the promo).

On a side note, I can't get past his wild teeth every time he talks. Superficial, yes. But that's just the way it is.

He's British, so that explains his teeth.

OK, I'm a few days late in watching the show (a crazy, emotional week at work) so I was looking forward to some downtime to watch "Jericho" and "LOST."

I've been a fan of Jericho since the first episode and this second season has been outstanding thus far. The end of episode four really got to me. I didn't see it coming, but I guess if you're going to get rid of a main character, she was the most expendable, while still having the impact needed for a "revolution."
After the whole battle to get CBS to bring the show back for a season, I'd hate to see it cut short. It deserves a third season, unless it's a situation like "LOST" where the writers have a definitive arc in mind.

Sucks that it's getting this good ... only to have two episodes left. And there's still a lot of ground to cover in the last two hours.

Has anyone seen the ratings for the show? I haven't checked them to see if there's a chance it comes back. It really is interesting and even as much as they've packed into this season, it seems like there's be plenty of places they can go with the show if they decide to continue it.

Hope they do, but I doubt it.

Oh, and I would have liked Stanley more if wasn't a vomiting *****.

I would've liked Stanley more if he'd strolled up, capped Goetz without a warning or a second thought, and whipped out a sandwich.

Are we sure the last episode is just an hour?

 

[beefncheddar]

I don't have any hard numbers, but I've read that the ratings are disappointing for live TV viewing, but very good for other-type viewership (DVR time-shift, iTunes, CBS.com, etc.)

Which I don't suppose is that surprising for a show that comes on at 10 p.m.

 

[beefncheddar]

I've read pretty much everything I could about the show and haven't seen any mention of a two-hour finale. Hell, with only seven episodes, if CBS was giving up a two-hour block, they'd probably just go another week and do eight one-hour shows.

Here's a post from TWOP:

And here are the ratings, courtesy of zap2it.com:

With FOX done for the night, NBC and "Law & Order: SVU," 6.4/11, claimed the top spot at 10 p.m. "Primetime" scored a 5.1/8 for ABC, beating the 3.8/6 for "Jericho" on CBS.

That figure also includes same-day DVR viewing. Also, in a recent IF Magazine interview with Dan Shotz and Jon Steinberg, Dan indicated that, while the network would, of course, like to see "more eyeballs to the TV" (his words), it is still "very happy with how we are performing on all the various platform -- DVR, iTunes, CBS.com, etc." That tells me that the network is keeping as open-minded an view as possible, is taking the non-traditional numbers very seriously, and is committed to seeing how well the show does overall.

In other words, I don't think the fat lady at the opera has sung just yet; in fact, I don't think she's even started warming up. It wouldn't surprise me in the least to see a Season 3, but exclusively as a Web series, if nothing else.
