Jericho 1.13: Black Jack
Previously: Dammit, I missed 'em while I was getting dinner made.
So we're finally seeing people actually die in Jericho.
So we see more of St. Louis' "police force". Hawins is in troooouble.
And OMG, trading posts. Are the writers actually showing signs of quality, thought and research? I'm... honestly not sure how to handle that.
Heh. There's a price for being SuperJake, Jake. It's being volunteered for every stupid and/or dangerous mission. :-P
Hawkins gets punched! Hawkins gets punched! And since when is not punching someone a signof being a friend instead of being part of the baseline to being a decent human being.
I love how Jake got stared down by Heather.
Mary is trying to do the decent thing, but where the hell is she getting the hair products necessary to keep looking that good.
Darcy knows or suspects who Sara is (relative to Hawkins, anyway) and is... less than pleased.
Hey! Dale! I missed you, buddy! Too bad he's a crappy trader.
Why hasn't Darcy tried to shoot Hawkins again? He's a crappy bastard of a man, father and husband.
Hawkins is just a generally bad judge of character.
Hey! The Real Plains Of Kansas! I missed you buddy!
Hey! Lawlessness in the wasteland! The outside is so much more interesting than Jericho actually is and the writers seem to be rubbing our faces in it whenever they show us a hint of it. Bastards.
So the Trading Post Of Doom is full of actual victims of the outside world.
Jesus H Christ on a pogo stick, Emily, Roger has PTSD. Stop pushing him already.
And Hawkette pushes to get information about the outside world and Hawkins shuts it down. How... typical.
I love how Mama Green's asking to have a drink with Mary sounds like a declaration of war.
Ex-Mayor Green's little speech about salt is a rather obvious infodump that one of the writers was oh so proud of knowing.
What with the filthiness, the sex trade, the radioactive metals and the multiplicity of Federal Governments, Black Jack is a hell of a lot more interesting than Jericho. Why couldn't this show have been set there? Oh, that's right. It has to be a "family friendly"soap opera "drama".
Oh god, more Johnston Green Homespun Wisdom.
Mama Green made a list of the ways she hates Mary! I. Love. This. WOMAN!
So Roger had a religious experience and is obviously being set up to become a prophet/religious fanatic of some kind.
So slavery's back in fashion this season? What coordinates with handcuffs and shackles? Also, somehow I'm doubting that no-one knew there was a slave trade going on.
Oh Dale... Good heart, bad execution. Probably literally, too.
Riiiiight. The Greens are going to single-handedly take down the guard force.
Good lord, how many candles can they burn before they finally run out?
Wow. Darcy's hardcore. I fully expect her to kill wassername as soon as possible.
Ah Jake. How would we ever burn our bridges without you? And after making sure that they know where you live, too!
Aw, damn. They're getting rid of Heather. Fuck fuck fuckity fuck. That's right, writers, get rid of the tolerable love interest. Oh, and Jake? How nice of you to so obviously only be interested in Heather now that she's leaving your orbit and your primary lust-object is paired with someone else.
Wow. Hawkins is projecting one hell of an awful lot onto his son. Not to mention that he's so much more interested in his son than his daughter.
Yeah, Mama Green didn't leave that note behind by accident. She's laying a trap to disarm Mary before she finally swoops in for the killing strike.
Okay, Hawkins knows that Bomber Girlfriend is a big bad terrorist mofo, so why exactly is he trusting her?
Next week: The package is missing! The roads are bad! The dogs, they are a-starvin! Jake, he gets roughed up some more!
