I've never watched the show. What exactly is this show about?
 
Its silly to think a high number of deaf people will want to continute watching this show after Stern gets killed off.

I was very disappointed and surprised that they killed her, especially since they had recently introduced another signer to the story. I had hoped that maybe they were going to increase her role. Sigh . . . :(

The fact that they credited as as a "Special Guest Star" in all of the episodes she appeared in this season was a good clue that they were going to do something to her.

I knew something was up once she was asked if she wanted to go to Cheyenne in the 3rd episode. That scene set off a red flag for me.

I was a little suspicious of that offer to go to Cheyenne, too. At least that storyline would leave open the possibility of her coming back later. But shot dead? That means :sadwave:

I was ticked off enough when they killed the dad (Rainey) last season. :mad:

It still bugs me how easily all the career military people accepted the new regime and flag. Hubby and I agree that no real military people would haul down the Stars and Stripes and replace it with that perverted version so quickly. And what happened to the chain of command?! Blah!

(As you have guessed by now, watching TV with me is no fun; Hubby keeps saying, "it's only a TV program; it's not real!" :P )

Hee, it's only a TV program after all. Yes, I wasn't too thrilled with the death of the father in the cliffhanger last year. The mother is MIA this season, but hopefully she'll be back next season, that's if they renew the show. The difference is, if they don't renew the show, they will have a real ending for it. They filmed two different endings in case it gets cancelled.

One thing that is quite obvious about Jericho is that the USA is in a real mess. They even renamed the country to the Allied States of America making it A.S.A. From all of the episodes I watched, I would say the country is truly divided due to the September attacks and it's turning out to be a major, major government conspiracy. Somebody within the government was responsible for what happened.

The president is awfully young too as well. Clearly, something went wrong with the chain of command.

Valenti is obviously a key character to all of this. They are rewriting the history of America. They made a new flag even though the stripes still represented the 13 colonies... it's perverted all right. It was pretty strange seeing the new flag for the first time at the end of the first season.

At least it's entertaining and not really happening. *knock the wood*

I wonder what happened to Canada on Jericho. Were they affected or not? Hmm, I'll like to know the answer to that. Maybe later in the show if they renew it.

Yeah, but I hate to see him play a bad guy. I used to love watching him as "Teddy" on Murder One. :P

It's kind of odd that Canada isn't mentioned. What about the other long-time allies of the USA? What about the US military people who were serving out to sea and overseas when the bombs were dropped? What about Puerto Rico, Guam, Alaska and Hawaii?

Maybe I slept thru some of the explanations. ;)
 
This is how I feel when I see that screwy flag on Jericho:


Forty flags with their silver stars,
Forty flags with their crimson bars,

Flapped in the morning wind; the sun
Of noon looked down, and saw not one.

Up rose old Barbara Frietchie then,
Bowed with her fourscore years and ten;

Bravest of all in Frederick town,
She took up the flag the men hauled down;

In her attic window the staff she set,
To show that one heart was loyal yet.

Up the street came the rebel tread,
Stonewall Jackson riding ahead.

Under his slouched hat left and right
He glanced; the old flag met his sight.

"Halt!" the dust-brown ranks stood fast.
"Fire!" out blazed the rifle-blast.

It shivered the window, pane and sash;
It rent the banner with seam and gash.

Quick, as it fell, from the broken staff
Dame Barbara snatched the silken scarf.

She leaned far out on the window-sill,
And shook it forth with a royal will.

"Shoot, if you must, this old gray head,
But spare your country's flag," she said.

A shade of sadness, a blush of shame,
Over the face of the leader came;

The nobler nature within him stirred
To life at that woman's deed and word;

"Who touches a hair of yon gray head
Dies like a dog! March on!" he said.

The scene where Bonnie dies is also critical as a turning point for her brother. Up to now, he's been on the fence, if not downright passive, about confronting issues. Now, he will take a stand.

It kind of reminds me of the turning point in The Patriot, when the Mel Gibson character gets off the fence.

When a man's family gets attacked, war becomes personal.

Good point. I discussed the same with a friend a couple days regarding Stanley. He is obviously going to take it personal and go against them.

Yep, I blogged it a few days ago. Should had mentioned it here too as well.

However, the producers are telling us that it is a possibility that it may not be the end. They are still shopping around at different networks and such.
