Episode 1, season two: Reconstruction (2/12/08)

After the Cheyenne Government stops the battle between New Bern and Jericho, they begin the reconstruction of the two towns. Cheyenne works to get Jericho up and running again, restoring power and communication with the outside world. Why is Jericho so important to this new government and what are their true intentions?

Jake struggles with the lack of punishment that Constantino receives - both for his father's death and for waging war against his town. He wants to seek revenge but Colonel Beck warns Jake against this, explaining that there's no room for that kind of violence in this new world. Beck is certain that the town will look to Jake for leadership and he offers him the position of sheriff for Jericho. He accepts, but not before Eric and several other Rangers decide that they will avenge Johnston's death on their own.

Hawkins is increasingly concerned about Cheyenne's arrival in Jericho. Although they are looking for Sara, it's only a matter of time before they end up finding him. And a mysterious soldier from the Cheyenne regime seems to be ahead of the game - he's already tracking Hawkins.

I was all happy about it, it was good t.v., but I zoned out for a lot of it. The crappy IRS chick/farmer lover story bored me.

The rest of it was cool, but it lost some of the magic for me, they got power, the government is back up and running, though a corrupt one. At this point, who cares about "justice" and who really bombed the country. From what I understand, what was left of the states took out Iran and North Korea already, and the country is just looking to get it's act together, the east is fighting the west,

it lost that no power, no civilization feel and now it's a "we got to prove that our own government did this to us" show, which really, who cares?

I'm still gonna watch it, I still like it, I just would have went a different direction with the show myself.

But I do like the new army guy in charge, he is cool. Can't place where I have seen him before. Maybe NYPD Blue.

That's Esai Morales. Dang, I remember him from the movie, "Bad Boys" with Sean Penn. That was the first time I ever saw him. He was on "Fame" for a little while. He played the older, and drunk, brother in "La Bamba." Most of his acting has been on tv though... and you are right, because Esai was on NYPD Blue 4 or 5 years ago.

He is pretty cool. Has just he right amount of compassion and anger all boiling underneath.
