Blackjack Fairgrounds: The fourth Jericho blog carnival

Welcome and step right up to the Blackjack Fairgrounds, the Jericho blog carnival.
Episode 4, “Oversight,” was a stunner. Even though Carol Barbee & Co. told us long ago to expect a death on Tuesday night and even though many had correctly predicted who would be killed, Bonnie Richmond’s death was absolutely stunning.
At least she went out in style and took out a few Ravenwood baddies. This is one of the things I love about Jericho: All the women are strong characters who can stand on their own two feet and protect themselves. Mimi’s the girliest, but she has other skills. She may not be able to bring herself to kill a chicken and she might not be handy with a shotgun, but no one does math like her and she can browbeat anyone into just about anything. Except Goetz.
OK, so enough of my blabbing on. You’ve had more than enough of that this week. Let’s get onto this week’s carnival rides:
Len Neighbors at the Athens Exchange has a pretty detailed recap, Jericho Commentary: Episode Four, “Oversight.” He also makes some pretty good arguments for the case of shorter seasons for all television, more in the cable or British style. I tend to agree, but more on the cable end (13 episodes or so) than the British end (6-8 episodes per season is juts a wee bit short for me). Let him know what you think.
Over at Below the Beltway, Doug Mataconis gives us his comprehensive take on the episode, Oversight: Jericho 2.4. He has posed an interesting question regarding how the new government took over so quickly in the west. Worth pondering. Knowing the folks who created Jericho, there is a perfectly reasonable answer. See what you think. Oh, and Doug also shares his thoughts on the latest ratings numbers, in Not So Good Jericho News. Thanks, sunshine.
Most of you probably have seen it already, but Terocious posts a beautiful photographic eulogy to young Bonnie Richmond over at Jericho Junction. Please visit and pay your respects to one taken from us too soon.
Anna’s getting nearly as comprehensive as Yvonne with her recaps, with an especially touching tribute to Bonnie, in Jericho 3/4: “Oversight” over at A Day In The Life. Check it out.
Last week’s carnival hostess with the mostest, Jane Sweat has a few links in Jericho Streaming that are worth checking out. The primary focus, as the blog post title implies, is on streaming video on the web. There’s also interesting info about Nielsen’s efforts to expand what its host families report to the company. Interesting. You can find that info and more over at posted at Arabelle’s Alley.
Finally, as usual, there is your humble hostess’ recap, but Bonnie’s death forced me to do not one, but two. And then CBS had to go and post new photos from the episode, so I had to share those. Plus, CBS released the press releases for the next TWO episodes, Termination for Cause and Sedition, and I also posted “Termination” photos, all here.
And, truly finally, here’s kystorms/Lisa Coltroup’s guest blog recap of the week.
