Happy Valentine’s Day, LOST fans!
By tonight, you’ll have had the romantic candelight dinner (or not) and you can change into your pajamas to settle in and watch our new episode of LOST at 10:00 PM EST.
But what about the 8:00 hour? If you’re looking for something to watch before catching the repeat of last week’s episode “Not in Portland,” CBS is running a “catch up” for Jericho called “Return to Jericho.” I’m guessing it will be a clip show like we’re used to with LOST.
I was very wary of Jericho when they started promoting it over the summer. It seemed far too depressing a premise, the aftermath of a nuclear attack on American soil. But because of the sheer lack of anything even remotely interesting to me in the same timeslot, I watched the pilot episode. And continued watching it each week.
Maybe it’s the X-Phile in me, but there’s enough conspiracy theory to keep me hooked. We still don’t know who dropped the bombs. There’s a mysterious government (?) agent named Hawkins (played by Lennie James) who came to town, and a old hometown boy named Jake (played by Skeet Ulrich) came home with a bit more survival knowledge than anyone would’ve expected.
It looks like they may be moving Jericho to Wednesday nights at 9:00 because LOST is no longer competition in that timeslot. Next week’s new episode of Jericho is going to be called “The Day Before,” and will let us see what happened the day before the bombs went off. This seems like an excellent time to join the series if you aren’t already a fan.
But who knows? Maybe we’ll find out that the Hanso Foundation or one of its affiliates is responsible for the nuclear attacks. I doubt that kind of cross-network collaboration would ever happen, but it would be an amazing twist.
