I know, I know, this mini-season that CBS has given us Jericho fans pretty much blows chunks, but we've got to soak it up before it's over. I seriously doubt they'll give this show a full season, especially when you take into account its current poor ratings, but at least the writers are...trying? (Yes, I was grimacing when I wrote that.) The creative team sure did something with Jericho; I'm just not convinced they did it with the purpose of persuading CBS to renew. It seems to me that they are, as many of you have noted in the comments, simply shoving a whole season's worth of story into seven episodes, poorly. But hey, at least Dale's back!
