Jericho: Reconstruction
By fred | February 13, 2008
(S02E01) Do you remember last season ? It was the great times when networks would cancel new series after only two episodes aired, because they didn’t give a shit about their shows or their viewers. Well, none if this changed, but now they don’t cancel anything, because they don’t have anything to cancel anymore.
But last season was also the season during which we’ve seen this CBS show about a little town having to survive after nuclear explosions hit America. No one knew what was happening everywhere else in the World, and they didn’t had time to worry too much about that : they needed to find ways to stay alive, and keep their town alive first. By the end of the season, it was obvious they weren’t too good at that : a very bad fight was just beginning with the town next door.
And then, after destroying the show by sabotaging the schedule, CBS simply canceled the show. Because they’re freaking morons.
Luckily fans didn’t let it slide, they all went “nuts” and CBS caved in, sort of. And now, we have a second season to enjoy. A very short one, as this season will only have seven episodes, but that’s a new season still.

Shows: Jericho
In Series: Jericho Season 2
(S02E02) Last episode was pretty special, if only because it was the first one of the new season, a season that was “not supposed to happen”, not according to CBS. But fans fought for it, because they love the show that much, and a mini-season of 7 episodes have eventually been ordered by CBS. That isn’t much, but it’s better than nothing - especially since there’s hope for a third season after wards. (Well, there would be if more people actually watched… Damnit people, tune in, this show is really good!)
(S02E03) You know, the more I watched this new season of Jericho, the more I think that what’s happening to the show, after its resurrection, to this new season, is a real shame. I’m sure many liked the show back in its first season, obviously, which is why fans went “nuts” and were even able to get CBS to bring it back for another season, as little as it may be.
(S02E04) So this was the latest episode of that little show called Jericho, and with it I have to say that I’m starting to get more mixed feelings that I used to during the first episodes. No, I’m not saying this episode was bad or that I don’t like the show anymore, absolutely not. But my point is that I was pretty happy to hear that the show would get a second season after all, and when I saw the first couple of episodes, I was really excited about the whole thing because, well, the show looked stronger & better than ever.
(S02E05) The clock is still running, and every time things get a lot more tense in Jericho and near-by. Things are about to explode, and given how the end (of the season, and of the series) is near it’s only understandable that every time we feel that any second now, everything will blow up. We have clearly enter the second half of the season now, so it only makes sense that things evolve.
(S02E06) We’re almost there, at the end of the journey for the little town of Jericho and its people, whose fate are now linked with the fate of the entire country, on less. Jericho has always been a very special town, and it’s not because its mayor ran away for undisclosed business that this was going to change. Everyone there is still very much involved in everything that’s going on, sort of.
(S02E07) If the fate of the town of Jericho is still in the hands of its people, there’s nothing that can save the show now. Last night was the very last episode of the show, the series finale. I don’t doubt that many fans will not be happy about this, thinking this is, as Jake once said, “nuts!” But the fact and the matter is, this is the end, and there’s no way CBS will ever bring it back.
