I swear that hour goes by like a minute, doesn't it?? It's like I'm on the edge of my seat the entire time. I hope that more people will come to know how fun this show is when it comes back on Feb. 14th. I hear things are really going to get wild! BTW, love Johnston, Jake, Emily, Gail and Jonah. Is Gray for real or what? What a jerk! Can't wait for new episodes! It’s JERICHO all the way for me. I swear that hour goes by like a minute, doesn’t it??

I'm an old Marvel fan from the early seventies, though, so I can't help but require my soap opera to have a little super-hero action. ;-) Good point about the comic-booky stuff being the attraction… but you comment about comic book movies got me thinking… really the only comic book (let’s be accurate and say “super-hero”) movies I really wasn’t the slightest bit disappointed in or bothered by were the two Spider-Man flicks — because of the characters!

Jericho I'm invested in the characters and their relationships, and Heroes I watch because I love the idea of a comic book gone live-action. Otherwise I wouldn't actually have sat through some of the comic-book to movies that were so disappointing.

December 2nd, 2006 by amber Matthew Wayne Selznick may have a point, though I adore both shows. ?Jericho,? on the other hand, I was apathetic toward, then intrigued? and now I?m engaged. Much slower than ?Heroes,? and that?s all right, because it?s focused on character conflict and growth. People are changing for better and for worse, and characters are making choices that drive the plot, not the other way around. And maybe it says more about me than it does about these television shows, but I have yet to say, ?Well, I saw that coming? watching an episode of ?Jericho.? [...] [...] Jericho Vs.
