Jericho
In totally other non news, I can't figure out why I'm watching Jericho. It's my big fear. Since I was six, I've been certain that a post nuclear future was what awaited, and reading 'Alas, Babylon' in seventh grade just helped reinforce that. It was the reason I didn't watch it when it started in the Fall. But here I am, watching the repeats, freaking myself out [sigh] I'm nuts!
(a good friend loves the show, and when the fan campaign saved it from cancellation, she convinced me to give it a try)

I think it's hard to convey fully to a younger person, or for them to grasp, the sheer depth of that fear those of us over a certain age - and I sometimes suspect within a certain middling age range, as opposed to including a certain older contingent - had instilled in us regarding the expectation of a nuclear end.
I watched a couple episodes online, way back, but never made an effort to keep up with the show. I thought it was a shame when I saw it was getting the axe, though.
