HEY. I am the world's most awkward hugger. Never feel like I'm getting it right. Big bubble and all that.

I briefly turned on the tv and tried to watch Jericho. I don't think I can. It immediately brought back all these memories of nuclear annihilation shows on tv (one of the most horrifying being an Amazing Stories or Twilight Zone with a watch that could stop time) and with that, a visceral cringe. For whatever the reason, be it my location or my very politically aware/activist upbringing, I really honestly half expected to be nuked in the eighties. I could quote Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. I had nightmares about it. I had plans in case it happened. When, in my late teens, after a lot of that had faded from the front of my mind, my parents looked at a house with an honest to goodness bomb shelter, it actually made me feel safe, though I hadn't felt unsafe in that was in a while.

It's strange, because I don't think everyone my age will have the same reaction. And strange because it is a period in time that, well like every era does to people, sets me apart. Hell, I've been to the USSR. My younger cousins all find that a strange moment in history. It was real to me. MAD was real.

In any case, I'm probably not Jericho's demographic. If I manage to watch, it'll be in the spirit of horrifying myself.

GA may have underwhelmed folks, but I just started watching and I am pretty sure this show has the power to break more than any other.

Oh, it's way too blah to horrify, sarameg.

OMG, how did I not watch Supernatural before? Smith wasn't doing it for me so I flipped on the eps I recorded yonks ago. Damn.

And having just watched the pilot, Jericho is coming off worse and worse. Not plot comparison yet, but just what a pilot should do.

On to second ep. Amy Acker? Kim Manners directing? And god damn, Dean (can't remember which actor is which) didn't grab me in the pics I've seen, but moving and talking and all? Yowza.

Nah, it's the concept and occasional mushroom cloud visual that do me in. Plotlines and poor acting are irrelevent beyond that.
