OMG!! Sayid shot Ben. That actually would have been a great ending to the entire series. I am not sure where they are going to go with in now, since they have 1 1/2 season left. Crazy time paradoxes and all. Maybe that wasn’t actually Ben.
Devil’s Due will be making a Jericho comic, pick up where the series left off. I always did like the TV series and hoped it had lasted a bit longer. Here is the press release.
Devil’s Due Publishing and CBS Consumer Products
Give New Life to Fan-Favorite TV Series Jericho
With New Comic Book Series
CHICAGO – March 5, 2009 – Devil’s Due Publishing (DDP) has announced a deal with CBS Consumer Products to publish a new comic book series tied to fan-favorite Jericho, the one-hour drama series that garnered critical acclaim and ran on CBS for two seasons, from 2006-2008. The series centered on the residents of the fictional town of Jericho, Kansas in the aftermath of nuclear attacks on 23 major cities in the contiguous United States. The comic book series will pick up where the television program left off, answering many questions for its passionate fans. DDP has teamed up with the show’s creators and producers to develop an authentic story that will hit comic book retailers this fall.
Jericho fans are some of the most dedicated in the world of television. In 2007, devotees to the show produced by CBS Paramount Network Television rallied together to bring back the fan-favorite which was initially cancelled after just one season. The show returned for a seven-episode second season, but was not renewed for a third season. While fans received a little more closure with the end of season two, there were still loose ends that could be addressed.
“Jericho is alive and well, thanks to the amazing fans who’ve driven us to find new and fresh ways to tell the Jericho story,” says Dan Shotz, Co-Executive Producer of Jericho. “Josh Blaylock and the DDP team are great partners and have shown a true love for our show. We are so thrilled about this comic book series and the endless possibilities for the future of Jericho.”
Joining Shotz in developing the comic book will be most of the original creative team including Jon Turteltaub, Carol Barbee, Karim Zreik, and Jon Steinberg.
“I can’t tell you how cool it is for DDP to be able to continue the Jericho story in comic book form,” says DDP President Josh Blaylock. “We plan to give fans the story they’ve been craving. This is going to be epic stuff.”
Warning spoilers for Season 5 Episode 9 “Namaste”.
How is it that every week they can come up with a great ending for Lost. “It’s nice to meet you Ben”, come on!!! I want like another 3 hours right now. I think this is one of the best endings Lost has had.
Of course I am interested to know why Ben aged so much and Richard hasn’t really aged at all, but I am sure that will be explained in the months to come. It nice and sad at the same time that the producers of Lost have a time table. Nice that they can execute an excellent story in a laid out timeframe, but sad cause we only got 20 or so episdes left.
I am getting really tired of looking at the same S street in almost every episode of Smallville. The latest time they had it is at the very end of season 8 episode 15 “Infamous”. Watch closely from now on. I am sure it will crop up again.
Scifi.com has posted a new trailer for Battlestar Galactica: The Plan. A new movie from the Cylons point of view. Thank goodness there will be more BSG.
