vaznettiJericho is back! Hurrah! there was much rejoicing throughout the land, and I stayed up late to watch it.
The flag -- the wrong flag -- still creeps me out. They changed the flag, and now it's wrong.
So I thought that Jake had the stubble of moral ambiguity, but apparently it was actually the stubble of "completely bugfuck insane." I mean, I get that he wants revenge, not an amnesty, but seriously? At least Hawkins agrees with me. (And poor Eric, with all his grief, because Johnston was the pillar of the world to him -- of course he's the one who can't put it down, in the end.)
I really love the way Darcy and Hawkins are working together now, and her offer to spy for him. He's telling her things! He wants her to know what's going on! But I think he is a little too sanguine about the fact that no one's looking for him, because I'm sure someone is going to find him, and not just one of his own people -- if indeed he can trust that guy at all. I do like the current political intrigue, especially because I am sure that it will soon get much more complicated. And I loved Darcy drawing the gun, in the end, even though I know she didn't want to.
I kind of like the army guy. I mean, he's just trying to keep everyone from killing each other. And he's pretty good at it, so far. As he knows!
Stanley, you should listen to Mimi. She knows about taxes. I love her showdown with the woman from that agency, and of course she won. She's terrifying. I also loved that she asked Stanley to marry her before he could ask her -- and was sad that then she apologized for it -- but then, they both got to ask the other, and that was kind of cool.
So, as first episodes go, there was a lot of setup, and a lot of characters missing without mention (the Hawkins children, for example, who must be around somewhere, and Stan's sister, who presumably hasn't absconded with her loser boyfriend yet), but I hope that the show will live up to its promise and, as last season, bring a whole set of discordant plots together at the end. It may not have been the best episode ever, but Yay! my show is back!
And now, as it is well past my bedtime, I must go sleep.
