I’ve been watching Jericho since it aired 5 weeks ago, I haven’t missed an episode yet. If someone were to ask me what my favorite story line would be, Jericho’s would not be far from it.

There’s something about a group of people banning together to survive a catastrophic event that strikes a chord with me. There’s the struggle between the productive honest people and those who want to take the easy way out and choose the path of crime.

This latest episode left the town in the dark, literally, after an EMP was detonated. Everything electronic shut down. The emergence of the more sinister characters of town also started in this episode. Apparently they have old ties to Jake Green (the lead character). The townspeople are still unsure of who attacked them but I think if they are advanced enough to have EMPs its likely to be a large country - probably china, russia or North Korea. It will be interesting to see if the show reveals who attacked us before the season wraps.

Next week’s episode looks good, new information from one of the original guys to go out after the 1st blast sheds some light on the citys that did and did not make it. Also the escalation with the hoodlums of town will be a strong plot line as well.
