Why Does Jericho Have To Suck So Hard?

I mean, I've seen the concept done so well in other formats. The United States laid to waste by nuclear attacks. A small town, limited supplies, and no contact with the outside world.

but no, they don't riot. they barely steal. they can't even conceive of a communal existence. there's not a fucking zombie in sight.

I think I've been watching for... five episodes or so? not that there's anything to differentiate them. something drastic happens and you hope and pray it's finally all going to go to shit, and then the music swells, people hug, and all the tension and hints at excitement drain away. If it survives long enough, I could drop in 20 weeks from now and it'd be the same damn formula and not a damn think changed.

Seriously, it would be nice to have something else I have to do Thursday nights between 8.30 and 9.30, so I don't end up gravitating to this cock-tease of a show.

time to turn off that animated talk-show host in the background, shut down the browsers, and get back to Battlestar Galactica - Exodus pt2. (304, for those playing at home). though honestly, it's much more exciting when you watch an entire season over the course of a day. posted by Keegan at 9:43 pm
