Jericho

[seven_trees]

Why have I only discovered Jericho now? Oh man. IT WAS MADE FOR ME. A tv show where resident of a town in Bumfuck, Nowhere have to deal with very suddenly being thrown into a nuclear holocaust? I'M THERE.And, okay. I'm not the biggest fan of the main character but who cares? That's what the fast-forward button was made for. And there's this IRS agent who gets stuck there and she HATES it. But there's this farmer who, technically, I know is named Stanley, but who I lovingly refer to as Farmer Ted in my head. He's beefy. And THEY are my OTP.

BUT  I have another. There's this kid who you know has experienced either being stuffed into a locker or being dunked into a flushing toilet. Possibly one before the other in the same day. And he totally hooks up with this chick who comes from this VERY rich family and is a total bitch at first BUT WHO I LOVE DEARLY BY THE END OF SEASON ONE. Oh god! I loved them like crazy, which is strange because I normally get annoyed when the geeky boy gets the popular girl at the end. I usually end of thinking that the girl is being given to him as a prize for having such a shitty life, but here they are friends and totally supportive of one another and rely on one another and #%$##^#^%^$. There this episode where they are both TOTALLY badass together and I died from shippy glee. 

OH MAN. I need to get my hands on some downloads to do a write up. THIS WAS AWESOME. I still have some eps to go in the second season, though. MUST WATCH NAO.

I gave up after 4 episodes cos someone told me that's as good as it gets...

Now I want to try watching it again. Damn.

I think the first season is a lot better than the seven episodes of the second. I gotta tell you, there were parts that got kinda dull and my use of the fast-forward button got a little out of hand in certain episodes. But honestly, once I get attached an OTP the show could go to hell plot-wise and I'd still be going, THIS IS BRILLIANT.

I would've probably continued watching if I shipped anyone like crazy. I kind of did ship that teacher and the main character but it looked like he and his ex girlfriend were going to get together instead.

I think BOF will go on my favourites list just cos I happen to be the same way.

I never really liked the main character or anyone in his love triangle, but I LOVED a lot of the side characters.

I'll probably rewatch some of the better episodes, because there were some episodes in this that I loved like crazy.

I liked him well enough in the four eps I saw.

Sigh that drama had so much potential. It's kind of like Love Contract in that way (great leads with awesome chemistry fucked over by shitty writing).

Love Contract created a whole new definition for shitty writing. That ending? Methinks one of the writers hit the bong pretty hard the day the decided to come up with THAT.

That would explain a lot actually. I still don't get what the hell happened there.

I just remember WTF-ing a lot.
