sort of as an aside doesn't anyone else think that the best way to deal with this situation is to take out the mayor and his top men?

I can't imagine the entire town is in the lets go kill our neighbours for what they have kind of spirit.

Killing those insighting the masses to attack you could make the people decide there are better ways to go.

Of course you should also prepare to wipe out the entire town if need be. Snipers aren't always 100%

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PrairieMule', 'W')e had a powerful storm(80-100mph winds) blow through Dallas last night and cut the power. I watched up to the point of the ultimatum given by the New Bern mayor. What happened after that?

I did get to break out the glowsticks and grundig handcrank radio .

[max_power29]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('some_guy282', 'I')'m expecting tank action too. The problem for Jericho is that they really need to think long term. Having an all out war with the next town over isn't a desirable situation. Who wants to have a permanent enemy in their backyard?

I think the smart thing for them to do is have a show of force with the tank, either defending an attack from the other town, or sending it there to destroy their road block and a non essential building or too. After that all they have to do is get on the radio and say "How about you go back to making those wind mills for us and accept our previous offer of 10% of our food. Or, we could just take this tank and destroy your factor along with a good bit of your town?"

It's good to see some action .... because the drama is written by idiots, and the acting is shithouse, so anything which can distract us from that bs is good.

The whole "I'm upset because I'm giving guns to 16yos" scene was hilarious. Are we supposed to expect Jake, who has killed many people and I assume wants his town to stay alive, is going to cry over arming his citizens? Like wtf. And the scene where they say "nooooo" to killing the injured soldier, and the daughter looks like she is about to cry over it. Yeah, you just murdered ~20 people Hollywood style (where everyone dies from a bullet the moment it hits them), another *1* isn't going to SAVE you from "hell" you dumb fucks.

The people who write this show are killing it. The budget must also be small because they continually let ACTION scenes just go "told", like the first attack on the mortars. You don't even see it, you just hear about it. If it's supposed to build tension, it failed. A bit like the nuke story, when they retold it, they could have shown more nukes going off and whatever but they didn't. What have you seen of the nukes and EMP weapons? About 5 seconds of footage.

They pulled the tank out of mothballs - Yay!

They're saving the nuke as "evidence" - Boo!

Nuke New Bern!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('jupiters_release', 'D')espite being the worst actor ever, Hawkins had a solid track record until he let Vicente or whoever the mastermind/president trace his connection. Now the federal army's first priority is to raze Jericho, New Burn doesn't seem so adversary. Whatever happens in the season finale, I hope Hawkins gets to use his nuke sometime in the future.

[Tyler_JC]

Am I the only one who thinks the show is just getting better and better with every episode?

I was jumping up and down on my couch when they brought the tank out. Why can't they just run over the New Berners? It's not like they have anything to take out the tank with. Just run over the bastards and pick up their supplies when the dust settles.

The show is so ridiculous, it's great.

[eXpat]

The last episode looked like a hillbilly fight! they lined up in front of each other and start shooting! I was expecting to watch some superior tactical manouvering! Quite dissapointing...
By the way, when i first saw the "new" flag, i though it was NEOPO's

[Laughs_Last]

The Ten Rules of Jericho Military Tactics:

1. Cars stop rifle rounds, 100%. Tanks 0%.
2. When defending in hilly terrain, cluster all your men tightly in the bottom of a valley.
3. When attacking in hilly terrain, stick to the low lying roads. Don't attack from over the ridge of the flanking high ground from either side.
4. Don't hit enemy positions with plentiful mortars before sending in infantry.
5. Politely wait to let the enemy reposition before opening fire.
6. Always let the enemy shoot at you first, especially if you share a common history that involves Western revolver duals.
7. Don’t take breaks in engagement as an opportunity to dig in or reposition men. Use all down time for sentimental purposes.
8. Stop shooting at the enemy as soon as they start to flee. Taking an easy shot is un-sportsman-like.
9. Tank rounds and mortar shells are interchangeable.
10. Tanks should be crewed by one man, sitting on top of the hood. (Glacis) Similarly, they should only be provided one round of ammo, and only the main gun should be used. It should never be used as a bulldozer, not against men, nor trucks, nor railroad tracks.

The only thing this show is missing is Steven Segal

[128shot]

I think you all expect far to much out of CBS and perhaps television dramas in general


The concept of the show, however, would make a great 2 1/2 movie with mindless bloodshed and explosions.


Nothing like killing gives me more of a hard on...

[highlander]

I agree with laughs_last. the "strategy" used by the "experienced" fighters is worse than childish. The writers of this show need to read a book or two. I would be surprised if it was renewed. Especially after the only good actor was killed off.

[Yossarian]

Not only have they killed the main charactor, CBS has killed the series

I guess we'll have to wait a year or two to see what life after a nuclear attack is like in the US of A.

:_( despite being silly sometimes at least was watchable. I'm gonna miss Jericho, Then again, maybe in a couple of years the show will be again back, this time as reality TV/life.
