My favorite new show! :D

I'm loving the SL.

Skeet Ulrich is doing great in the lead role, and he's a hunk too(when is he gonna get his shirt off?). :D

I can't wait to see where this one goes. It certainly makes you think about the effect of a major nuclear war on the world.

"Jericho" and "Smith" are my favorite new shows. I'm really wrapped up in "Jericho." There's so many questions, especially with that guy Hawkins who seems to know a whole lot and is being very secretive.

This last episode was good. I wonder what Hawkins is up to? He seems to be a good guy, but is just keeping secrets for whatever reason. It seems like he and the mayor's son (can't think of his name) have both been in the military or at least had some kind of military like training. I want to know what he was going to tell his father, before his father said it wasn't necessary for him to know.

That would be Jake Green. Jake and Hawkins seem to be the only two characters I can remember by name. Generally, I've never been good at remembering names of characters on primetime shows, even those that I watch all the time. Yet, somehow, I can name every character and actor names of all four soaps that I watch. LOL!

Jake and Hawkins are by far the most interesting characters. Every week, I'm dying to find out more about their back stories. When Jack's father stopped him from spilling what he had been up to while away from Jericho, I wanted to yell at the TV. LOL!

If you want to get more insight into Hawkins and what he knows and been up to on his computer, check out this week's Jericho's on-line supplement, "Countdown."

Also, did you know that during the opening titles of each episode, there is a different Morse code message related to that particular episode? So far, they have been:

Ep. 1 - "Jericho Pilot"

Ep. 2 - "Jericho Fallout"

Ep. 3 - "Jericho Three"

Ep. 4 - "He Knows Rob"

Ep. 5 - "There Is a Fire"

Ep. 6 - "The EMP Hits"

Thanks for the link crc. I think it's easier to remember names in daytime because we see those characters everyday for years. I found the supplement pretty chilling as I do the whole show. It's been awhile since I've thought of a nuclear attack as a real possibility, but of course it is.

I'm pretty convinced that Hawkins is a good guy, although it might be more interesting if he isn't. I wonder how he knew what was going to happen and why he didn't warn people? Maybe it was unstoppable and he didn't want to cause a panic. If he really was working for the otherside why not get out of Dodge? In fact, even if he was loyal to the US why not get his family out of Dodge, even if he wanted to stay and help himself. Unless, no where else is any safer. Maybe it's not so much a nuclear attack, as a world wide nuclear war.

I didn't know about the morse code message either. I like it when shows have those extra little things to figure out.

    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
