Jericho: Why We Fight (season finale)

by Paul Goebel, posted May 10th 2007 7:19AM

(S01E22) First off, I have to say I love a good flashback. The way tonight's show blended the flashbacks with the current scenes was really well done. For a show that has really become very basic, the level of artistry is very high.

Well, Heather is alive and she's in Nebraska. I've been to Nebraska and, quite frankly, she was better off dead (that's a joke, son). It was great that Heather was able to alert the military to what's happening between Jericho & New Bern but relief is clearly going to come at a price and Robert Hawkins' name is on that price tag. I loved that shot of Heather looking at the flag, that very disturbing looking flag.

I don't know about you but I found that convoy from New Bern incredibly menacing. The little town of Jericho would not stand a chance if it wasn't for Hawkins and his secret weapons...oh, and, of course, the tank. When the tank came over the hill I was ecstatic. After seeing the bad guys head for the hills all I could think is that I got to get me one of those.

Speaking of the tank, was anyone else skeptical when Mayor Dumbass was put in charge of loading the ammo? I thought for sure he was going to screw the pooch. Am I the only one who disagrees with what Johnston and Jake said about Gray being a leader? It seems to me that regardless of who was elected, these people picked their leader long ago and it was Johnston.

I am torn about the death of Johnston Green. On one hand, I always appreciate a ballsy move like killing off a main character. On the other hand, Gerald McRaney is probably the number one reason I watch this show. I guess the writers figured that we have the entire summer to get over it. However, watching Johnston and his father walk off together will be a hard image to forget.

Overall, I have to give this episode a 6.

any chance Sci-fi will pick this show up or that the producers will make a movie to answer all the questions?

Just seems so unfair to show us this for a year and then yank it away unresolved - I saw where it was consistently top 40 - I thought that was always considered safe on tv

DARN. DARN. DARN.

This had turned into a quality show, and the finale was excellent.

This was a mixed day for me: disappointment over Jericho, and relief over the renewal of Supernatural and Heroes.

I am going to be very upset if this show is cancelled. There aren't alot of shows I like on tv. I got into 4 new shows this year and now it sounds as if 3 of them may not be back...haven't heard about the 4th one yet. I am tired of all these stupid reality shows (now they wanna bring some pirate one out and some wanna be movie maker--there are enough reality shows out there). I watch tv for non-reality....I want the good shows back and they need to jump OFF the reality show bandwagon!

Well, CBS canceled "Jericho" today. So, that's another reason I'll never watch CBS again.

Thanks a lot CBS for wasting my Wednesdays.

With all of the "GARBAGE" that passes for entertainement
these days, "Jericho" is on of the best shows on TV anymore! CBS had BETTER bring it back, or they can go take a leap. When the show first started I was driving all
over the southern & middle part of the country for a living. Since my sister has cable that also has "On Demand" that records (or whatever it does) the CBS shows, I ACTUALLY got to see them when I got back. That turned out to be one good kick a** show! I loved how it developed & sustained itself, but there were times that it got kind of dull & hockie, & that has happened with almost every show that I've ever watched, no matter WHAT it was. Sometimes you get an episode that hits a clincker, same with everything, nothings perfect. THIS SHOW IS NOT CR*P like Survivor, Lost, Desperate House W**res, The Great Race, Prison Break, etc. . That stuff needs to be cleaned off of TV with a brush & detergent! There is no part of Jericho that I would not watch again! I hope they come back next season, I truely do! With my luck though, if I ever get to likeing a show too much, something always happens to it , & not something good.

i think jericho is a great show.. and i will be sadly disappointed if it doesn't return for a second season. i just think that if another channel would pick it up then it would do better with its ratings. i personally like it..cause you see a city and ppl fighting for what they believe in.
my vote is in for it!

I love this show, and hope against all hope it is not cancelled. I agree with a couple of the previous comments - 1.) they should not have killed off Johnston Green, 2.) I also think the flag is not the U.S. government, but a newly formed government (from where is yet to be determined) and 3.) I also thought there was an article on continuing the show next season.
Here's hoping they do - it is the newest and best storyline (along with 'LOST') that I have seen in a very long time.
