The good: tied up some story plot lines put a different mayor into office to give show a different feel Roger showed up, throwing a wrench into that whole deal. Jonah let his daughter know Jake was not responsible for her brothers death
What we're left waiting for: What/Who does that guy work for and/or do? Zooming in on his family at the end was creepy. What does see you soon mean? Who is coming?
I think the show has had its peaks this year so far but overall I have found it enjoyable.

I thought this was one of the best episodes yet. And the ratings increase was certainly a positive. I think that Grey winning mayor was a good move. Now we can watch him crash and burn!
The fall finale was really good and the previews have me psyched for the shows return. I just hope that Hawkins isn't going anywhere, since he's the most interesting character on the show. And I want to know more about Jake's past
My concern with the show, after these mysteries are played out, will the show turn into a post-apocolyptic soap opera? I just don't see where they can go in a second season. Whatever happens, I'll enjoy the show whereever it goes in the meantime.
I like that CBS created the whole WhoDroppedTheBomb.com thing to enjoy during the hiatus. It's unlike anything CBS has ever done, very fan interactive, and I hope it establishes a following for the show.

I must say, I really like the *premise* of the show. I makes me think, what would I do in that situation. It is a very unique show.
But on the other hand, I dont like the show. I do not care for *any* of the characters. Frankly if any of them were to die in the next episode, I would just shrug my shoulders.
I find myself watching the show to learn more about the bigger picture, not the small dramas. Whats happening outside the town, whp is in charge? Each 42minute episode normally gives 1 or 2 minutes of tidbits relating to whats going on. This is why I watch the show. Which is kinda sad, really.
I enjoyed the fall finale, and the entire series. The first few episodes were grinding at me, as Jake seemed to do no wrong. However, they have made him flawed and brought him back to earth. He was on the wrong side of the plan to blow up the bridge, and totally misplayed how he handled Jonah when he discovered him, and probably sealed his father's fate in the election.
I hate Grey Anderson (but I'm suppossed to), and can't stand the thought of him as mayor, but I can totally believe the town would elect him.
Can't wait to learn more about Robert Hawkins. I fully expect a return visit from Ravenwood.
One of the really good things about the show is that the audience is just as isolated as the town. We still don't know what really happened, and we (like the characters) crave any little bit of info that comes in.
I can't wait for February - and I hope the ratings don't suffer from this hiatus. I'd hate to see Jericho disapper prematurely (like CIC did last season).

I don't know this as fact, but I feel very confident in this: As far as Robert Hawkins and who he is, I think you simply have to put 2 and 2 together. Robert Hawkins was/is a member of Ravenwood. And Ravenwood is a rogue militia who decided to "make the world right" themselves, or, is assisting with some form of plan by our gov't or anothers. Robert was suppose to be part of the plan, but he unfortunately gained feelings for the town of Jericho and reuniting with his family.
I think you could be right about Hawkins, but I still think it could be a larger conspiracy. The decision to air the episode that takes place before the bombs was a good one. It will clear up a lot of stuff.
