Every single person seemed to be a complete idiot and thoroughly deserved a messy horrible Darwinian death.
LOL. I'm kind of agreeing with you, actually. I think I keep watching because I keep expecting these people to wise up and actually start thinking.
Possibly also I have read too much nuclear SF and have a dear love of competence.
Well, you'll find very little of *that* in Jericho, to my utter bogglement. It's like never them has even seen a copy of Alas, Babylon or something.
I mean, I mean, look at the background scenery on that show; those morons are using their last bits of gasoline to MOW THEIR LAWNS
Well, I do blame the production crew/staff writers for some of the things that drive me nuts about the show. Not the least of which is the fact that people are *driving* everywhere when they have no more gasoline -- and they canonically have *horses*.
As of episode 13, when they finally show the Blackboard of Doom -- there is a blackboard where they have a tally of the town's resources -- just made me laugh. 800 bushels of corn and 500 wheat in the entire town just a week after Thanksgiving? Only if the entire crop *burned*, considering that corn yields about 180 bushel per acre, and wheat 30-50 if it's not irrigated. Kansas farms average about 700 acres -- there's no way that there is not more food... these idiots are going to starve among full fields. If they were complaining about not being able to harvest the crops without gasoline to run the tractors, that'd be one thing, but to say they don't have *food*... omgwtf?!
