Jericho’s Alternate Ending

Apparently, when they filmed the ending for this Season’s finale of Jericho, they filmed two endings. Via TV Guide:

TVGuide.com: Will viewers have any burning questions coming out of the alternate ending/series finale?

Carol Barbee: Let me see…. I can tell you that in the original ending, Hawkins has to sacrifice himself to let Jake get away with the bomb and get it to Texas so it can be tested and prove that they were telling the truth. Texas would then swing their support to Columbus and defeat Cheyenne.

Carol also said:

TVGuide.com: Does Hawkins mortally sacrifice himself, or just let himself get captured?
Barbee: Well, he gets captured but he’s also shot…. He’s pretty messed up, and Jake feels like he’s leaving him for dead. So we show you where he’s taken and you see that the mission for the next season is, “We have to go rescue Hawkins and we have to stop these [bad] guys.” When they see the alternate ending, it certainly completes the story from this season and tells you everything you need to know to have understood Season 2. It just doesn’t point to that next mission. You meet John Smith, the guy who’s been pulling the strings. It’s [played by] Xander Berkeley (24). You’ve heard him on phone calls, and Hawkins is surprised by who he is and where he is. So you know who John Smith is, you know who planned the attacks, you know why, you know how….

Both endings are good, but the new ending definitely wraps things up a little better. The original ending would have left us wondering what in the world was going to happen to Hawkins. I was very happy with the ending they came up with. I hope that somehow Jericho lives on, which brings me to…

From what I understand Jericho did get decent ratings, which means that it could get picked up by someone else (especially a cable station). I will go ahead and my cross fingers on that news…

Jericho - Best Scene This Year On TV

In the season finale of Jericho, my favorite scene was the air fight. In fact, I think that in the context of the whole story this was the best scene I have seen all year on tv. What do you think?

Here it is:

PS. Apparently the person who uploaded it to YouTube shared my feelings about the scene. It was really cool!

Jericho Is Over

I just watched the last episode of Jericho and it was really good. I am going to miss Jericho A LOT! I really enjoyed it. In my opinion Jericho was one of the 5 best shows on tv.

They ended it in such a way they could have brought it back for a third season, but even with the cliffhanger ending it was still a good ending for a great show.

Well, Jericho is over… and all I have left to say is… “NUTS!”

Jericho Rocks… Well For One More Night…

I have been sick with the flu and I am just now catching up with some of my TV watching. I just watched the last two episodes of Jericho and I am REALLY BUMMED that there is only one episode of Jericho left. Jericho was one of the best shows on tv. I realize it’s ratings weren’t that great, but that’s not the show’s fault. The show was awesome!

I will miss Jericho, but I am VERY thankful that CBS brought it back this season to wrap it up. CBS said it’s really over this time. It makes good business sense, because it’s not getting the ratings they would like it to get. I wish that the networks would occasionally ignore ratings and keep shows like Jericho because they are just plain good. Unfortunately that’s not the way it works…

NUTS!

When Will Your Favorite TV Show Go On Strike?

When will the writer’s strike affect your favorite show?

TV guide is keeping a running list of tv shows that shows how many episodes have aired, how many have been produced, and how many are left. Click here to check out the list.

I read that LOST might go on hiatus until 2009, because of the writers strike. That would really suck. As for my favorite shows:

Heroes has 4 episodes left, Chuck has 6 left, Numbers has 4 left and Jericho has 7 left.

I understand why they are striking… it makes sense, but I really hope the writer’s strike ends soon.

How many episodes does your favorite tv show have left before it goes on strike?

Flash Forward - Flash Bakwards - I don’t Care Since I Have To Wait TEN MONTHS

Buddy TV is reporting that Season 4 of Lost will contain both flash forwards and flash backs. Well quite frankly I don’t care, since I won’t be able to watch ANY new episodes until February of 2008. I don’t want to wait ten freaking months to see the next episode of LOST.

Oh well… at least we get to watch LOST again, unlike Jericho.

Jericho Has Been Canceled - Nuts!

Jericho was probably my second favorite show on TV. The other day CBS canceled it!

I am not thrilled with all the serial shows that get canceled without resolution. First I got into Daybreak and they cancled it without resolution. Now I sit through a whole season of Jericho and it get’s canceled. While there were parts of Jericho that I didn’t like, overall it had a very interesting story line. The least they could have done was resolve some of the big issues/secrets, before canceling the show.

In response to Jericho’s cancelation fans have been sending in nuts to the CBS executives. You can read more about the 20 thousand dollars worth of nuts that have been sent to them so far, by clicking here.

I don’t plan on wasting my money on nuts, but is an interesting way to protest the cancelation.

Quick Note On Jericho Episode 22: Why We Fight

I watched the season finale of Jericho (Episode 22: Why We Fight) this weekend, and man it was it good! What a great ending! After Heroes, Jericho is easily the best show on TV. I really, really, really hope CBS renews it.

So, what did you think of the season finale? Were you surprised by who died?

Is Locke Really Dead?

I just got around to watching LOST and wasn’t surprised by the ending. You want to know why?

Earlier today, I was sitting at my computer and brought up Yahoo.com. One of the top stories read, “Is Locke Really Dead?” I was like, what the… Uggh! So, I kind of knew ahead of time that Locke was going to be in a life or death situation at the end of the show.

What makes this even more funny, is I went over to my favorite LOST Forum (lost-forum.com) to check out what people were saying about it. I starting reading a forum post and half way through the post someone compares Locke being killed to the person who was killed on Jericho. Guess what?

I haven’t gotten around to watching Jericho yet and now I know who died on it! Double Ugghh!

What made it even more hilarious was that before watching tonight’s show, I told my wife Jill that I wanted to watch LOST tonight and Jericho tomorrow because I knew a secret about the show. To which she responded, “Maybe we should watch Jericho, so that you don’t find out a secret about Jericho before we watch it.”

I responed by telling her there was NO WAY that would happen.

BOY WAS I WRONG! Teaches me for not taking Jill’s advice.

Long story short, Do you think Locke is dead? They can’t really kill him off, can they?

Who Will Die Next Week On Jericho?

At the end of last night’s episode of Jericho (ep 21 - Coalition of the Willing), the preview trailer for episode 22 (Why We Fight) said that someone will die. So who will it be?

I think it’s going to either be Gray Anderson or Johnston Green. What do you think?

This post was inspired by zintradi comment that Hawkins would die. Here is a list of zintradi’s reasoning:

First are some statements by Carol Barbee in Tv Guide (could just be misinformation, but you never know)
She said that the death will be of someone that has a 4 or 5 year contract and will be a big shock. Also it will clip the story arc about “who dropped the bombs”. What other character could be linked mre closely to the whole bomb plot than him (but maybe thats what she wants you to think)

Second,(this is the “lost” type reason)
Lennie James gave an interview to Cnn where he talked about missing his wife and children. He said how hard it’s been and if jericho gets picked up again, he’ll have some decisions to make. That interview was published 4/24, but something tells me that the decision has been made and Lennie will retire back to London, Jericho or no Jericho.

I can’t imagine them getting rid of Hawkins, but I guess anything is possible…

My 3 Favorite Scenes From Jericho Episode 20 - One If By Land

Boy would Jericho be in trouble if they didn’t have a CIA agent in town! Last night’s episode of Jericho “One If By Land” was another REALLY good episode.

There were a few scenes and lines that stood out to me:

1. When Maggie (Jakes new friend) asks Hawkins what happened to the New Bern deputies and Hawkins said, “They’ve been dealt with”… that was WAY cool!

2. The Jail Break scene was just awesome. A CIA agent against a bunch of regular people dressed in police uniforms, not exactly a fair fight… It was fun to watch!

3. When Maggie and Ted tell Hawkins what they were doing 5 months ago and Maggie asks Hawkins what he was doing the last time things were “normal”, he says, “I can’t remember back that far”. That just made me laugh.

Next week’s episode looks interesting. I wonder how they are going to get out of this predicament? My guess is that either the Tank, Hawkins weapons stash, the artillery shells Hawkins stashed in his backpack, and/or Jonah’s men will be involved helping them out. Like I said to my wife Jill last night, “They have a tank and a Nuke, certainly they can take out New Bern.”

Lastly, I have a quick plea to the CBS executives - PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, renew Jericho for another season. It’s the second best show on TV.

Who Else Thought Jericho: A.K.A. Was Awesome?

Wow, Jericho was awesome last night!

Last night’s episode (appropriately titled A.K.A.) had Jake grilling Robert Hawkins about his involvement in the nuclear bombings. It was my favorite episidoe of Jericho so far.

Now we know Robert is CIA (pretty cool).

I have been wondering when Robert would tell Jake about his identity. I have been looking forward to the two of them teaming up to save the world, not the cheerleader:)

Jericho is my second favorite show on tv, but last night’s episode was better than a few episodes of my favorite show (Heroes).

Anyway, there are only 4 episodes of Jericho left this season. I am really looking forward to them…

Expose Was The Worst Episode Of LOST Ever

Did you catch last night’s episode of LOST. If not, don’t read this post.

My goodness, what a horrible, horrible ending to the show. Yuck! I kind of new it was coming, but it was without a doubt the worst episode of LOST I have seen.

Now, it was very interesting until the end of the show. The end just ruined it for me. I hate creepy things like that. Even if it turns out they both live, I hated that ending.

LOST is probably still one of my ten favorite shows, but it is no where near as good as Heroes in my opinion. Quite frankly it isn’t even in the same league as Jericho.
