Kromm April 7, 2015 Share April 7, 2015 (edited) I see him as an important character in TV history. An unapologetically badass African-American character (note: African-American character, not actor--since the actor is British), but without being portrayed like some jive-talking stereotype. Not precisely the lead of a show, but at the very least second billed.

kikismom April 8, 2015 Share April 8, 2015 Syfy network had bought the rights to run Jericho in re-runs; do they still hold the rights? If the show could be re-run on a major network it would help to get a lot more people asking for a revival. It would not have to be in the same place, it would be interesting to know the story happening in the same time elsewhere, and interweave it with some of the principal characters. I think this show did more world-building than other shows. We got a taste of the separate nation started in Texas, of other countries sending aid to the United States, of other agents involved and the organization Ravenwood. There are quite a few new directions that could be taken. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/24758-jericho-general-discussion/#findComment-1013032

KarateKate April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 I'm now two episodes into my Jericho binge, and wishing I wasn't working (ineffectively, I might add) (and in my own studio, not at my W-2 job, just in case anyone is checking) so I could watch more directly. There are so many characters, it is tough to keep them all straight. I imagine they will thin dramatically - I'm guessing not all shelters make it. The end, when Lennie James just kept dipping into the drawer of thumbtacks, that just killed me. Watching his hand slide down over LA before settling on San Diego - it was like all of my LA friends were just (briefly) spared. And then when the hand kept going back but we didn't see where he was pinning them, I got so sad.
