  • Very nice. This episode was thrilling.

    This episode was very nice. First of all there were Military Airplanes flying overhead and they dropped a lot of AID. But still I have a lot of questions unanswered. My first one is why were fighter jets going in front of the drop out big planes and why did they use American parachute if they were Chinese aid!
    And the other thing i really wana say is Eric is so stupid leaving April. I mean she is a better person for him than the other girl... And a kid can bring a lot of happiness and love. He is so stupid!
    Then the other thing is that Hawkins chat buddy said that he knows who is the bad guys??? That's interesting.. Gray is also so selfish wanting power rather than unity of everyone.
    And last but not the least is the fact that I don't believe that the masked person who killed Gracie was Jonah. Jonah might be bad, but he doesn't wana kill anyone...
    I am sure Mitchell is the one who killed Gracie.moreless

  • The first planes in months appear over Jericho, dropping supply pallets near the city. The mayor doesn't know if they can trust them, though, and everyone is scrambling for a piece. Eric and April try to figure out where they stand, too.moreless

    This was a pretty good episode, although the Eric/Mary/April triangle doesn't interest me all that much. In this episode they focused on the supplies and the reality of the situation they are in.

    I liked how the supply drop was mysterious, and I liked the way that they still have little idea what is really going on. I do find it odd that more people don't wonder aloud more often, but that's really nitpicking. The supplies move the plot along, as the scramble for them puts people at odds with one another. Jonah and his crew make a play for some of the dropped supplies, and the tension was a good addition.

    Oh, and there was absolutely no Dale or Skylar in this episode! Woo hoo! There is a sub plot with Hawkins' family. He's been a pretty bad father, so he deserves the ire of his kids, but they're kinda beating a dead horse at this point with everyone telling him that he's been a pretty bad father. For some reason, he tries in this episode to make good for his family, and I like the resolution, but it left me thinking that they were easily impressed. It's debatable, but I don't think that I'd overlook years of neglect and absenteeism for such a little gesture. I hope they play it right, because if this one thing made them an atomic family I'll be calling them on it.

    This was a solid episode.

    Be sure to watch until right before the credits roll. I won't spoil it.moreless

    Jericho gets the help it needs making Gray look dumb and Johnston the smarter one. I was disappointed in Eric for dumping his wife in favor of the other woman since a baby is involved and all. The show is finding ways to find normalcy among the unthinkable nuclear war, not an easy task by no means. Ravenwood moved on to the next town to plunder their goods. Jericho is left know it is exposed. It doesn't look good for Gracie at this point. The sugary sappy soap opera them managed to rear its ugly head again for a few. Over all it was a good show.moreless

  • Jericho receives aid from the air.

    Very interesting storyline with lots of things happening.
    The aid from the air was a great way for JOhnston to show what a good mayor he is. A good show in the run up to the elections. Gray won't have liked it. I thought Eric made a courageous decision. His comments were very true too, a marriage isn't saved by having a kid. So he decides in favour of Mary and leaves April.
    Emily taking the situation into her own hands is not good for Jonah. He still maintains the leadership but I'm willing to be Gracie's attacker is one of his men, probably Mitch.
    I do not like the writers putting Emily and Jake together all the time. Heather didn't even feature in this episode, neither did Dale. I think that's a pity.moreless

    Something I realized in this episode when Gracie was stabbed - where did our heartstruck little guy go that always used to help Gracie out. He went back to some girls house like weeks ago but we havent seen him in like three or four episode. =/

    The episode was one of the most pivotal of the season, with the ending that left me speechless as the first real "cliffhanger" of the show is revealed. Gracie is stabbed by without a doubt one of Jonahs men.

    I thought that the epiosde was good overall, I just thought it followed the best episode of the season and didnt really expand on much of anything. I wasnt happy that Heather didnt show up in this episode, if your gonna have people on the show in relationships with other people you have to build on them. She kissed Jake and I havent really seen her since. She is the main reason behind me taking points away from this episode.

    Kudos to the writers for not having Eric go back on his word and switch back to his wife, I liked that writing. I thought it would have made the writing in the episode before this one not as good. Overall, the episode was good the show is just losing track of keeping track of everything I want to have kept track of....right?moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • The Parachute used for carying the generator is too small for the generator's weight. With that parachute the generator would have fallen down with high speed and become unusuable. Edit
    • Goof: When Eric is told that April is pregnant, the grandfather clock in the background shows the time 09:02. In episode 6 an EMP fries all electronics at 09:02 therefore all electric clocks would show this time. However, the grandfather clock is a wind-up, and would not be affected by the EMP. Edit
    • Jake identified the aircraft as MiG-19s and Antonovs. He was correct in saying that they were '70s-era Russian aircraft. However, the fighters were of a pure-delta planform, unlike actual MiG-19s. Those fighters are most likely(consider the time when Jericho was made)been J-10. Consider only J-10 in Chinese airforce that have both deltawing and air refueling capacity(to escort transport plane). All the Mig-19/J-6(Chinese) is not in PLAAF inventory(as for 2006), also it's had very short range. The transport aircraft were more likelly Chinese versio of C-130 Hercules(which are call Y-8). Consider the plotline and Jake's comment, is more likely he meant chinese versio of Il-76,which are Ilushin not a Antonovs. Edit

    • Eric: A bad marriage doesn't get better because you add a kid. Johnston: No, no it doesn't but you're gonna have to stop thinking about yourself first. You give up that right when you bring a child into this world. Edit

    • Episode Title: Red Flag A red flag is an internationally known symbol for "blood of angry workers." Alternate meaning: The Chinese flag is red which is more likely the reason for the title as the parcels were seemingly dropped by the Chinese. Edit
    • Stanley has Tang and mixes it with tequila. Tang is an orange sugared, fruit-flavored, uncarbonated soft drink from America, manufactured by General Foods Corporation in 1957 and first marketed (in powdered form) in 1959. Edit
    • Mimi: It is like Filene's Basement out here. Filene's Basement First opened in 1908, Filene's Basement of Boston is the country's oldest and most renowned off-price store. There is usually a large gathering at the store with people sometimes going through items like a yard sale during major discount days at the store. Edit
