Argh! Dramas! Why do I watch them! I think the problem I’m developing is that the behavior of the people is all too real. I wish I could believe that humanity was inherently decent or something like that, but we just aren’t. Maybe it’s the instinct for self-preservation, maybe it’s inherent selfishness. I don’t know.
I’ve been thinking about what I would do in a nuclear disaster. My hometown is actually well-located in terms of fall out patterns. We have (had in the past at least) decent agricultural land, water, and game. I’m torn between holing up at my parents’ house and heading east into the high desert. I KNOW I’m totally unprepared for any sort of disaster, much less a far-reaching one of the kind shown in Jericho, but perhaps it’s good that I even contemplate the possibility. What’s the saying? “Even a paranoid has real enemies”?

I don’t think my comment on the last entry showed up, so I’ll comment again.
Jericho is a wonderful show and the end of season one is such a cliffhanger! Season 2 (only 7 episodes) wraps up more of the story, but there is still more story to be told.
Jericho fans are still campaigning to get the story told. There is a Jericho graphic novel coming out this fall and a movie in development.
Next weekend in Los Angeles, fans are gathering with the cast and crew to hold a charity event. If you are close enough I urge you to attend, since it will be a once in a lifetime event.

Blast my spam filter, I didn’t even realize you’d commented! I definitely have to go check out the graphic novel! I was disappointed that the second season deviated so suddenly and wildly from the small-town, intimate feel, but it was still a lot of fun. I really wish they could have continued with the series!

The graphic novel will be out in October. It will be four issues to start and the publisher is Devil’s Due Publishing: http://devilsdue.net/
There is a panel about the comic next month at the San Diego Comic Con, so we will have more details at the end of July.
I run a weekly newsletter that has Jericho news and Jericho community announcements. It goes out to your e-mail address. You can subscribe by e-mailing:
subscribejebs@jericho-kansas.org and say subscribe in the message. JEBS stands for Jericho Emergency/Announce Broadcast System.
Oh, we were told, by the writers, that the fight with the Allied States would have again cut off Jericho, so it would have gone back to the small town look.
Keep your fingers crossed for the movie!
