When you'll be recording the postapocalyptic computer games podcast, you'll probably mention "Wasteland", "Stalker" and the "Fallout" series, but be sure to also look at "The Fall: Last Days Of Gaia". From what I know, it's relatively unknown in the US, but somewhat more popular in Europe. It's the game which reminds me the most of "Jericho" and even more of "Jeremiah".

The audio was a bit quiet and I had to play with the equalizer settings to really hear and understand the panel, but once I got the audio right it was worth listening to. Can't wait for the comics. So this means the alternate DVD ending is now canonical, right? Thanks for the great report!

]]> Comment on Episode 13 – Too Girly? by Chris From Poland http://www.futuretraditions.com/2009/04/episode-13-too-girly/comment-page-1/#comment-624 Chris From Poland Fri, 24 Apr 2009 10:17:57 +0000 http://www.futuretraditions.com/?p=240#comment-624 Hi gals, I've been listening to your podcast ever since it appeared on FarPoint Media and I'm already cought up with all the previous episodes. To comment on your last discussion about the show being "too girly": as I guy I agree it's very "girly", but I wouldn't go as far as to say it's "too girly". I wouldn't want to make my claim sound like an accusation, but rather, just a statement of a fact. The show is indeed "girly", but is that bad? Not necessarily. It just shows how different people react in such an extreme situation as depicted on "Jericho". I was surprised how much your appreciation of "Jericho" differs from mine, but after giving it some thought, I found it interesting. Some people might focus on the big picture, the millitary issues and the logistics in a postapocalyptic setting, while others will focus on the importance of family and relationships. Both of these attitudes are necessary if the society is to survive. When I saw the first episode and saw the bomb on the horizon, as a viewer I adopted an analytical attitude to the show. I was constantly asking myself the questions: who is responsible for the bombings? Will there be nuclear fallut? How will they cope with radioactive rain? Will they succeed with farming? What about energy production? How many people in "Jericho" are there? How many will survive? It seems I was enjoying "Jericho" in a similar way I would watch "Battlestar Galactica". So I was indeed surprised when your first episode neglected the big picture and focused on the relationships of Emily, which as a guy I completely disregarded as something unimportant, but I guess that such issues are as important if a community is to survive such a scenario. In the last episode you encouraged guys to call in or write in about the characters they like to "balance" the show, but the problem is, guys are seldom about "characters" and "relationships", so talking about the women we like on the show is not really a "guy thing". As a guy (perhaps stereotypical) I would rather concentrate on the big issues: the city Jericho as a whole entity, Jericho in the context of other settlements, Jericho in the context of the US etc. Anyways, I'm still enjoying your show despite the abundance of the "girl factor" :-). Keep up the great work, Chris from Poland. Hi gals,

Thank you and keep up the great work! An answer to the question "What is your favorite relationship moment in the series?" So many moments, so hard to pick just one. Father-Son relationship who be the one with Johnston and Jake at the courthouse after Jake "volunteers" to go to Black Jack Fairgrounds. Johnston's response to "did you ask Mom?" was great! Romantic relationship moment would be the famous kiss between Jake and Heather. Jake's expression is priceless. I like Emily but wish the Jake-Heather relationship had been explored a bit more. Love triangles are interesting. Friendship relationship moment would be in Reconstruction when Hawkins gets the surprise visit from his old buddy Chavez. The two just seem like such great friends and it was funny to see Hawkins admit he was wrong about Sarah and Chavez was right. Another great podcast! Thank you and keep up the great work!

It is well made and makes you want to watch more. It has good special effects with the bombs and sets the characters up with lots of room for exploration.
