Vox Populi ~ episode 11

Just a few quick comments, as its late. First, at the end of the show a web address was posted

“www.whodroppedthebomb.com”, which I went to. It redirected to the Jericho website, which now has the links to its chosen community and message boards. I went briefly, and its going to be nice to have a place, but needs to have us regular and faithful belong or it wont really matter. ( Just my opinion anyway). I am a bit miffed that they waited until now to bring these two sites up, when the discussions we have been having here and especially over at the Yahoo group have been going on since day one. Oh well, at least it is done now.

I am happy about Stanley and Mimi, as I have said before. I like her, she is honest.

Gray is a very bad thing for Jericho, and the reason he is acting like he is , is because of his guilt over the murder he committed in the mine. ( Again, just my opinion)

For the last two shows, Heather has been AWOL, and I have to wonder at the sloppy way they are all of a sudden making her disappear. Shame on the writers.

I am confident that Jonah is not gone for good, and for the towns sake, I hope he comes back. He is the only one besides Jake and Hawkins who displayed any real survival instincts.

I am glad that Hawkins is getting along better with his family, but the problems are who is he talking to on the laptop, ( my opinion, Government take over for the record) and this I am sure of in my own mind; by the satellite link showing his wife and boy in the yard.

That is not something a small group would have access to , has to be a Inside coup. On the website I put up at top, the one shown tonight, is a discussion about a mysterious women who was stopped outside St. Louis by a police man? What is that? Says she has been lurking around Jericho,  again, who is this? I have not seen any person so far that stood out that could be this mysterious woman.

Tonight’s show, for me was not  well written, the way they had the election, not much discussion about it, nor preparations seen during the show. Seems to me the writers knew that they needed it in the story, but were not prepared to expend any real time on its writing.

As for Jonah, his almost being killed outright was a very good barometer of how Gray’s Mayor-ship is going to go until someone stops him. I think they ( the towns people) are very shortly (well in February anyway)going need Jonah.

Dale, Dale; where do I being? I knew it was Mitch who killed Gracie as I am sure most everyone did. But to have Dale go and just shoot him, I think it is not really how Dale would have done it. I could be wrong, but the kid doesn’t seem like a cold blooded killer, and that move of his was just that. Not that Mitch did not have it coming, he surely did. This just doesn’t seem to be how the town would fall apart realistically. Any basic 101 in Sociology will show that the disorder would have either begun immediately and in full swing or not at all. We see the town basically acting like everything is the same, from when the bombs dropped until now; then they begin to slowly go nuts, but in small increments.

Ok, now for the arrival of the new comers. In this crowd we see Roger, makes for a sticky place as far as Jake and Emily are concerned. But with her daydreams about not really wanting to marry him, we know where this will go. I am betting Gray has the kick em out attitude.

Last thoughts:

the food – should have been taken care of before now, but I stick to my guns about winter coming and their needing to stockpile. Hand it out now, and just like kids on Halloween, it will be gone the next day.

Stanley’s little sisters radical behavior, not what I would have expected from her character, but in reality is what a teen who is ticked off at their parents, would do.

Rating for this show (since it is the last for a while) I give it a 8/10.

I will post about the countdown vid when I get to see it, probably tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a great week.
