Jericho

Jericho's downfall lay in the change of US government with the removal from power of figures widely despised nationally and globally, this changed the political, social and thus entertainment landscape. The threat to the American people was no longer justifiably coming from within the government. The market is however still there and maybe someone will see this and pick up where the show left off. Jennings & Rahl was obviously based on Xe Services LLC (Blackwater) and as they seem to be teflon coated in the press and courts there is clear scope for drama there.

Jennings&Rahl (a powerful company) was probably based on Halliburton and Ravenwood (Company of mercenaries responsible for killing all patients in a local hospital) was based on Blackwater (Xe). :)

Of course Ravenwood worked for Jennings and Rahl.
 
Yes.....as I said. Incidentally, when Stanley comments on the fact that his corn was safe from the effects of rain borne fallout he was more or less factual. Ears of corn were found to be protected from fallout due to the nature of the plant, whereas other raw agricultural products fared less well, potatoes for example have to be scrubbed and peeled before they become "safe". Wheat and bran may be subjected to cleanin processes during milling, but the resulting flour is still a risky propisition in terms of residual radioactivity even when exposed to low levels of fallout. Much of the information in the show is drawn from factual or real world sources, although some of it is essentially dramatised for entertainment, for example when Robert Hawkins colleage arrives aith severe radiation poisoning, he would have been highly unlikely to manage to travel as he exhibited symptoms akin to exposure to levels of 1,000–5,000 rem or higher.
 
Yes, you are right concerning colleague of Hawkins. Another great idea was to hide a nuclear bomb inside house with own family:) i have read somewhere profesinally created nucler bomb will survive crash of aircraft but still. I also liked the scene when people in panic isolated their houses bcause of radioctive rain. They then jumped on streets into same radioctive water to celebrate rain is away.

Ok, i saw here a post about another similar series - Jeremiah, i have to get it somewhere to check it out.
 
I am also curious about Jeremiah, I enjoyed Babylon 5 immensely, and also Jericho so a combination of the B5 creator JMS and post apocalyptic scenario is immensely appealing.

There was a comment in Jericho about clearing away the topsoil of the fields folowing the fallout downpour, but nothing further was heard about this. I wonder if they realised just what an immense undertaking it was to clear the top 18 inches of soil from arable land.
 
Definitely agree with you, Straczynski is great! There were some rumors ST DS9 got some ideas from B5 scenario. I liked Babylon 5 much much more than DS Nine.
Londo Mollari and his servant were just lovely, Peter Jurasik did so great job.
I saw all seasons (twice) and also all movies + Crusade. I was so sad when they cancelled Crusade in the middle of 1st season without finding a cure for Earth. They also cancelled planed movie - Memory of Shadows...

Concerning Jericho - there is a comics with third season about civil war, someone has posted on my blog.

Ok, we can exchange our opinion after watching the Jeremiah.
 
I have some good news regarding Memory of Shadows, it hasn't been cancelled, JMS put it on hold for a couple of years as he felt he couldn't proceed with the film after the passing of Richard Biggs and Andreas Katsulas.

He has stated that he may be prepared to proceed with this film at some time in the next couple of years.

I will look forward to a discussion about Jeremiah!
