The new seasons of Jericho and Lost don’t start for another couple of weeks, but we already know a ton about what’s going to happen in both shows. Especially now that Jericho’s first few episodes have leaked online, it’s open season for spoilers. (Bottom line: Jericho season two looks to be way more fast-paced than season one, with a more intriguing version of last year’s conspiracy storyline.) Click through if you want to learn everything we know about Lost, Jericho and a few other shows.
Tons of people have already watched the next few episodes of Jericho and posted their reports: As we expected, Esai Morales’ character Major Beck declares the war with New Bern over. He convenes an (off-camera) tribunal about the towns’ hostilities, and finds New Bern at fault. But he wants the towns to put the matter behind them. Jake and Eric almost go after Constantino seeking revenge for their father’s death, but Jake changes his mind at the last minute. Jake becomes sheriff, and Beck also asks Heather to be a mediator between Jericho and New Bern.
There are two U.S. governments: the legitimate one based in Columbus, and a Cheyenne, WY government made up of the people who launched the nuclear attacks. The Cheyenne government, the Allied States, blamed the attacks on Iran and North Korea and leveled both countries in retaliation. The Eastern government is barely holding on, and if the independent state of Texas goes with the Western government, it’s all over. Hawkins and one of his fellow spies struggle to get proof of the Western government’s involvement with the bombs to Texas in time to sway its decision.
There’s an evil corporation, Jennings and Rall, contracting with the Allied States government, and it tries to screw Stanley out of his crops in exchange for vague promises of tax amnesty (which it turns out he doesn’t even need.) Speaking of evil corporations, Ravenwood is working for the Allied government too, and a Ravenwood merc comes to Jericho searching for that stray nuke. (The government thinks Sarah Mason killed Hawkins and took the bomb, so they’re searching for Sarah, not Hawkins.)
Also, the president of the Allied States stops through Jericho on a whistle-stop tour. Hawkins has his wife Darcy (who is now an equal partner in his spy game) create a distraction so he can access the government’s files for proof it lied about the bombs. [SpoilerGeeks and TurkeyWhisperer
And here are some non-Jericho spoilers:
A few new Lost snippets: We’ll meet some new characters in season four, including Russell, a mathematician, Arthur Stevens, a ruthless corporate recruiter, Charlotte, a smart twentysomething who has bad people skills, and Chandley Price, a messed-up therapist. Jin and Sun will have a little girl baby named Jiyeon. Libby appears in episode eight, which also sees Mr. Friendly crossing paths with Michael in NYC. [Wonderday]
More Lost: fans found some blurry hidden images on the game server, which show a submarine, Locke on a dock, the number 108 in a lot of places, and Sayid smashing some Virgin Mary statues. Make of those clues what you will.
Heroes volume 3 will be less about the Company, and we’ll know right away what giant disaster the good guys are racing to prevent. It’ll be something to do with things we already know about.
Here are some pics of Brian Austin Green in his guest-starring role in next week’s Sarah Connor Chronicles. [TV Addict]
Kyle XY’s version of Seven of Nine, Jessi XX, will play a huge role in season 2.5 as she butts heads with Kyle over her misuse of her powers. Poor old Emily will fade into the background. And Jessi will make loads of bad choices in her effort to find someone to love. [SliceofSciFi]
