Jericho story should be rebooted
May 29 2009, 10:54 PM EDT
Jericho, as it was, does not need to go any further. What I would like to see is a reboot of the story focussing more on the plot to blow up all the citiesthat got bombed, and how the conspiracy came to be and how Hawkins and his other folks try to bring it down. The bomb is now in Texas, so Jericho really is irrelevant to the story now. I would like to see how Hawkins and Jake would be able to expose the plot, and bring those who are guilty to justice, or death. It could be something more along the lines of '24'. They could go back, and tell how the conspiracy started, how Hawkins got involved, and focus more on the action, intrigue, and talk about how Texas fights with the Cheyenne government. The one thing that I haven't pieced together is whether Dallas and Houston were able to survive or not. I don't think they ever named the city that Jake flew to after the two fighter planes from Texas intervened and shot down the Cheyenne planes. Being from Ohio, I have to say that having Columbus spared and identified as a seat of the government was a nice touch. Maybe they could go into that angle a little more also. I like the character of Hawkins, and Lennie plays him really well. I would love to see more of his story. A suggestion for a new title of the show? How about simply 'Hawkins: Covert Ops'? I resisted the impulse to suggest 'Jake and the Black Man'. LOL 26 out of 32 found this valuable. Do you?

An interesting idea, but I disagree that Jericho is irrelevent to the story now... hasn't the story always been about people, not the bomb? I would like more depth about what happened before and obviously I want to find out what happens now in the broader sense, but I would be very unhappy to see the town of Jericho fall out of the story all together.

All I was saying that the town of Jericho is not the focal point of the story now. The daily lives of the people in the town would be nothing more than a soap opera in my mind. It would not be the same show, and I don't think I would continue watching. Jake and Hawkins have hit the road, and I think the story should too. That is my opinion. I just think the story could be continued or enhanced by taking a more action-oriented approach. I could see something along the lines of "24" another great show, but I wouldn't want it to be wrapped up in a specific time-frame like that show does each season. I doubt that our current administration would not allow a show like I am imagining to be on broadcast TV. It just really seems a little closer to what very possibly could happen any day now.

Indeed, it would be sad to see Jericho turn into little more than a soap opera - but there would be narrative ways to keep what is happening in Jericho central to what is happening in the country as a whole. There is a civil war starting after all, so it's not as if everything will go completely back to normal. Besides, I would like to see Jake back in Jericho as soon as possible - I don't think that being out in the rest of the world is good for him.

There is plenty of room for action without leaving Jericho. Beck and his men set up Jericho as their headquarters and now Jericho is the center of resistance. It was the relationships that made the show worth watching to me and I would not be interested if they hit the road.

I agree that Jericho should be "rebooted", but Jericho - the town and the people - is the focal point. Intertwined with the "new' search for the people behind the bomb (all levels), Becks involvement in Jericho and the "revolution" as well as the others in town.

Jericho needs to stay in Jericho. Yes, there will be trips outside town with Jake and Hawkins Every CIA agent needs his own piolet, but Jericho is their home and their families are there. Home and family is a big theme on Jericho and that's one of the things I most like about the show. One of the things that most attracted me to it and kept me. Like the action too and Jake and Haekins are a perfect team.

Jericho becoming like 24 would be pointless, although there is the side story of espionage in there I think the plot should go back to the beginning where they are just survivng, trading amenities like food and petrol and such.

"Jericho becoming like 24 would be pointless, although there is the side story of espionage in there I think the plot should go back to the beginning where they are just survivng, trading amenities like food and petrol and such. "I've never watched "24" so I can't invision what Jericho would be if it followed that path. I would, however, like to see Jake and Hawkins (and maybe a few ot the others) to go out into the country (while keeping the town/people of Jericho) and "hunt" down the truth of the conspiracy. It could be expanded in so many directions. Beck and his crew should also be part of any "future' program. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

We don't want Jericho to turn into some other show. That is what is so good about it, it isn't some other show. Flag tag is right, there are many directions to go in and I believe that is what they have in mind if we and they could just get some ex to see lthe light.

Well I think that they could show how Jake and Robert struggles to get back to Jericho and show how jericho struggles without them, and then how they all reveal the j&r plan to destroy the US and the cover up of all. Then they can show how the US grows back up to its might power again. Probally cant do all of that in one season, but I quess that is wish full thinking on my part.

It was established long ago the importance of Jericho, as a secure rally point for Hawkins team, and with the defection of Beck and his troops, Jericho is a prime location for resistance activity. The story should logically expand to other military commands, with mass dissimation of the 1997 J&R report on COG.As well as other towns joining in the rebellion against Cheyanne. We havn't even factord in the response fron the origional US govt. There is so much potential for story lines, Jericho could ( and Should) go on for years.

Absolutely! The "hunt" for all those involved in the attack on the country. And the attempt by the traitors to keep the information from getting out. So many people to go after - the "paper trail" added in. The "hide and seek" in BOTH directions. The bad guys could probably send troops to Jericho to "lock down" the town (martial law) in order to try to keep the info from getting out, then Beck and his men and the town thumbing thier collective noses at the leader of the troops. (And defection of some of those troops to the Jericho side. Travel to other cities, etc. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Is the show still on the air? It was on for 2 seasons then disappeared. Did it go to cable? I haven't seen anything about this show since it went away after the 2nd season ended.

"Is the show still on the air? It was on for 2 seasons then disappeared. Did it go to cable? I haven't seen anything about this show since it went away after the 2nd season ended. "Hello Rosewell and no there are no more episodes being made. It was only revived for the second season to close things up in a short 7 episodes. Since then there has been a lot of talk of a movie. There is also a series of 6 comics, 3 of which have been published and releast but there has been a problem with the publisher of the comic and the last 3 issues have been delayed. There is a booking coming out but it appears it will cover the material that the 6 comics will cover. We are all still hopeful and I admit that I just finished watching the series again as I owe the DVDs. I enjoy it every time I watch it but I delay longer and longer between viewings. The series airs every once in a while on SyFy Channel if you want to catch it there. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I'm sorry I still think there will always be room to keep both the town and Jake/Hawkins/ the guy who when to Texas to stall them to join the Cheyenne until Jake/Hawkins bring the bomb to Texas. Like some of you on this website Jericho is the base of this story on how Jake/Hawkins got to where they was at when Jericho got shot down in mid-air again on where the story would have gone in the third season. But the town of jericho was getting out in the misdt to see if they could get help to keep the home front going to keep Cheyenne at bay from trying to take over there. I t would be nice to see Jericho /New Bern and Emily's Dad to work together.Yes there were a lot to show how Jericho surive .

As far as still on the air, not that I know of but I just finished the whole series on netflix in about 3 days...whoever stopped this series was a business moron. I would personally love to see a reboot of this series and it really wouldnt be all that hard to do they handed themselves the setup although the name Jericho would need to change...Whoever said they should do something like 24 I personally say no. We already have a 24 and a jack bauer...we dont need this show to rip off another one the thing that makes jericho so amazing is that from start to finish it was accurate, believeable, and original all in doses that just hit you again and again...they also didnt do cliff hangers which means the show held you by its own merrit...you wanted to know what was going to happen in the lives of these people...Now personally I feel they could reboot the story line with the 2nd American Civil War...how great would that be?!!! Right now with how the economy is, everyone wants to see the underdogs triumph and big corporations...and people who arnt feeling the burn eat it big and every has always wanted to and loved seeing the Government take down corruption...(that and zombies flicks but i digress lol) anyways What better show could there be then America...the remnants of the United States Government and the people living in the former USA learning of the treasonous, corrupt, Jennings and Rall? The Good fighting the bad! a WWII story in our own backyard, the underdogs coming into this fight and losing and then Texas comes in and boosts the sides to equality and then a fight where good triumphs...this show is a political and popularity stunt in of itself...not to mention we have the war going on right now in the middle east...when we had the war in vietnam i think it was they aired a comical T.V. Series called M.A.S.H I remember sitting down with my brother and parents and watching reruns of that show...it was funny, smart, and good all at the same time.
