*Hawkins is at Loomer Ridge, a top secret prison complex of the Allied States
*Jake and Chavez are boarding a plane, at Lackland AFB, to go in search of Hawkins.
Unfortunately, the exact location of Loomer Ridge is not known. Chavez has been able to access the records of the resistance leaders and has come up with a map of four possible locations. After examining the map,Jake and Chavez pick the location they think Loomer Ridge is at.

Dawn had a long conversation with the gentleman [from Comcast] and told him all about the fans and Jericho. He is forwarding all of my comments to the programming dept. and is also going to start streaming episodes of Jericho to watch.
He did say his office had only....and this is a bit shocking...his office had only received 10 emails since Dec. of 2007 asking for Jericho to be shown......now my dear rangers....I know we can do better than 10 emails in 4 months! Although he did say he had heard a lot about the show in the past 4 months, so that was very good to hear.

Jeremiahrong> is set in a future post-apocalyptic world where, almost a decade before, a deadly virus wiped out the world's adult population sparing only those who haven't reached puberty. Now in their 20s, the oldest survivors of the pandemic include Jeremiah and the colorful but cynical Kurdy. Jeremiah is on a personal quest to relocate a mysterious place called Valhalla, which his father claimed, might hold some hope for the survivors. As Jeremiah falls into a reluctant partnership with Kurdy, both explore new areas and encounter other groups of young adults who are divided into rival social groups. In the course of the season opener, Jeremiah's smaller personal quest is redirected when he discovers a group of highly organized survivors who want to enlist him to orchestrate peace among the warring factions and to try and prevent the killer virus from returning.
Summary written by Daniel Calhoun on IMDb
Jeremiah premiered on the Sci Fi Channel on Thursday, July 10th (check local listings for times). This series ran for two years and is written by J. Michael Straczynski (creator of Babylon 5) and airs in four-hour blocks.
JKI has an on-going thread, for those of you who want to compare this post-apocalyptic TV series with Jericho.

Some of us have seen this movie and think it is unusual and interesting enough to mention.p>
Let’s be upfront and just get it out in the open, this is a popcorn action flick and is not going to be nominated for any awards for either acting or writing. Still, as the first movie to hit the screens both filmed in and meant to be shown in Real-D™ this one actually delivers.
We won’t go too much into this new 3D process, other than this is simply a far better and more immersive 3D processes than those which have come before. The picture is clear and less prone to blurring.
This movie is one huge theme-park ride with a pulp-novel Saturday Matinee feel and is aimed at the family market. If you want to get a feel for the direction the movie industry is headed than this movie will certainly deliver.
