I hate to be the grump, but I thought the finale sucked. They continued with the battle between two cities, and it did nothing for me. That should have been a single eposide. Instead, they dragged it out to the point that I lost interest.
The death at the end seemed a little much. They keep having these super-dramatic moments, but they're so poorly played out that I think I'm watching a high school play. I mean, the guy on the table wasn't even gasping for breath as he calmly spoke to his two sons and then died. It was a laughable.
Having said all of that, I have invested several hours in this show, and I'd like to see some sort of resolution. I have high hopes for the next season. We're finally connecting Jericho to the larger world. And it seems like we're nearing the end of the show. I can't imagine that we'll have more than one more season of this thing. If so, I'm gone. I'm no longer buying the internal drama of a small Kansas town. There's been an attack on the country with an apparent hostile takeover, and we're dealing with the angry kid at the local grocery store?
