Jericho: Preparing for Condor
-
- February
- 19
The title of tonight’s episode, “Condor,” is a reference to the code name for the president. The president of the Allied States of America.
He’s coming to Jericho on his whistle-stop tour, as we learned at the end of the season premiere.
Speaking of, check out the premiere with commentary from showrunner Carol Barbee and writer Jon Steinberg. You can watch it in preparation for tonight’s festivities. Then, you can head on over to BuddyTV.com and check out their (transcript and audio) interview with Lennie James.
Here’s a snippet, about the changing relationship between Robert and Darcy Hawkins:
In the first episode of the second season, it seems that April Parker, who plays Robert’s wife Darcy, plays a bit of a more significant role than she did in the first season. Does that continue throughout these seven episodes? Is she more of a presence?It does, yes. The facts are, as far as Robert Hawkins is concerned, his team that he set out on his initial undercover mission for five years ago, his team has been pretty much decimated. There’s only two left standing. In order to complete his new mission, which is to get his bomb, his evidence to the right people to prove who were the masterminds behind the terrorist attacks, in order to do that he’s going to have to start using people who aren’t as trained as he is. Who aren’t of the same mind set that he is. That’s going to start with somebody he cares deeply about, i.e. his wife, Darcy, played by April, and also Jake. That’s where it’s gonna start. It throws Hawkins into a new kind of dilemma, because he’s used to being the one who goes into the dangerous situation, and his wife is left hoping and wondering whether he’s going to return home. In these new seven episodes, in the second season, you see that the tables have turned around. He discovers new things about his wife and what she’s capable of, but he has to deal with the fact that he’s putting someone he loves in harm’s way, and he’s not used to doing that.
Anyhow, check back at 11 tonight for my insta-recap and we’ll discuss more later.
Enjoy!

Please help get Jericho renewed again. You can do that by emailing CBS at audsvcs@cbs.com after every episode and tell them you watched. This is the only way CBS can count the viewers who are not Nielsen Ratings households.
