Any fan of Jericho is a friend of mine! Jake Green and Robert Hawkins make a great team and play off of each other really well on-screen. Thanks for the boost! With all the crime shows and medical shows on TV, we need something different and captivating.. and Jericho is IT. Bring back JERICHO!!! SEASON THREE!!! AND BEYOND…

FUNNY DEREK! LOL! I love that character. (and I love that dude’s girlfriend…) Me and my roommate always talk about Funny Derek and how alike F.D. and I are (not always a good thing). Oh man. This is quite a list, thanks!

You’re right about Matthew Fox, I didn’t notice it much at first cause the first season of Lost I think he was more of an action hero, but lately he’s been so great in the dramatic scenes, it’s like he’s in a totally different character. You picked a good example of why he should have a couple of Emmies by now, but there was also some kickass acting when the group splits in the beginning of the season and he finds out about Charlie’s death and in that episode where he sees his dead father. He’s really good.

I don’t really watch too much television, but I did get completely and totally hooked on Jericho. My favorite characters all came from that show. They don’t necessarily have to be good guys, do they?

Warning: Possible spoilers ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. Major Beck (Esai Morales)- Overall, Major Beck was a decent guy and, eventually, he got things right. He was somewhat of a tortured soul, having placed all of his trust in a government that didn’t really deserve it. It would have been nice to see where they were planning on taking his character.

4. Phil Constantino (Timothy Omundson)-Seemed like a halfway decent guy in the beginning, if not a little rough around the edges. But, add a little bit of power to a man who thinks he’s owed something and you’ve got trouble. Phil Constantino, under cover of wanting to take care of his home town, is a selfish, evil man. His statement of “We’re coming” gives me goosebumps everytime.

3. John Goetz (DB Sweeney)- Goetz is the epitome of evil. Truly. The man has absolutely no conscience and cares very little for anyone but himself. Put a man like that in a situation where he has no boundaries and bad, bad things will happen. DB Sweeney did an amazing job….I hated him from the very beginning.

2. Robert Hawkins (Lennie James)- If I’m ever in a situation even remotely like Jericho’s scenario, I hope there is a Robert Hawkins around. The man is a jack of all trades, handy wth a gun and clever. He’s not a very trusting guy, but you can’t really blame him. He is a bit ruthless at times, but he gets the job done. He definetly has a “the end justifies the means” attitude, but again, he gets the job done.

1. Jake Green (Skeet Ulrich)-Jake’s the man. Not quite as handy as Hawkins, but still good to have around. He tends to let his emotions rule his actions, but that’s not a bad thing. He will do anything to protect those he loves and those who can’t protect themselves. He is the epitome of a flawed hero. Not to mention, he’s drop dead gorgeous. Skeet Ulrich is brilliant in this role. Especially in a certain death scene and when he’s held prisoner by Beck.

Thanks for letting me share my views, too.
