Blackjack Fairgrounds: The fifth Jericho blog carnival

March

This is our longest edition yet of Blackjack Fairgrounds, the Jericho Blog Carnival. Thanks to all who submitted entries and have helped make this fledgling carnival a success!

Let’s just jump right in, shall we?

Check out second 37 on this video from CBS. There’s a sign in the background. Pause and check it out. Thanks to Jericho~On~CBS for the link.

Len Neighbors’ weekly recap, Jericho Commentary: Episode Five, “Termination For Cause,” over at Athens Exchange is rather amusing this week; love the comments about Hummers and shell casings happening “to be the contents of the parking lot of every happening club in Atlanta,” though they’re a bit unusual in Jericho, he admits.

Doug Mataconis gives us three presents this week: a thorough recap, Termination For Cause: Jericho 2.5; a pessimist’s view that we’re not going to get another season, Memo To Jericho Fans: Enjoy It While You Can; and a CBS vid sneak peek at epsiode 6, “Sedition,” at Jericho 2.6 Sneak Preview; all are posted at Below The Beltway.

Jane Sweat, as usual, presents us with interesting analysis of how new media is affecting broadcasting, in CBS: Embracing New Media posted at Jericho Monster.

Terocious has his usual well-written analysis that comes from a totally different perspective in a wonderful piece this week on how one of his old teachers would have loved Jericho, in History Loves Company: This odd show Jericho posted at Jericho Junction.

Lisa Coultrup shares her thoughts on the increasing awesomeness of Hawkins and how Jake’s soul becomes ever more evident every week, in Goetz got his and Hawkins Ruled, posted at Jericho~ On~ CBS.

Anna went through at least one box of Kleenex, I think, while watching Tuesday’s episode, and that’s quite evident in Jericho 3/11: “Termination For Cause” posted at A Day In The Life.

Amanda Reno, a newbie to the carnival, joins in this week with Jericho 2.05: Termination for Cause posted at FADPOV. Two things to take note of: She managed to keep all her extra exclamation points out of her recap, and her throat was raw from screaming by the end of the episode. Gee, I can’t relate to that at all. (Ha!)

Then, finally, there were my two recaps — live thoughts and the aftermath. Then, there’s Clarke’s guest recap, which posted this morning; a post with a photo from “Sedition” and the CBS press release for the finale, “Patriots and Tyrants”; and the CBS photos from the finale.

Plus, this fun tidbit from the Celebrity Baby Blog about Skeet Ulrich’s twins’ seventh-birthday parties. Seems that fraternal twins Jakob Dylan (think he’s a Bob Dylan fan?) and Naiia Rose had separate birthday parties for the first time.

This was one of the best shows so far. To see Stanley get revenge for the death of his sister. Very gripping. How perfect to have Goetz body hanging for all to see.

The recaps were excellent as usual. Anna’s A Day In A Life brings a very personal touch. Very well done.

Like the rest of you, I am looking forward to next Tuesday to see what happens.
