Line 45:
* [[Divided States of America]] - In season 1, there are six federal governments. By season 2, there are only two contenders: the Allied States of America, of which Jericho is geographically a part, and what's left of the original United States government.
** Texas is still an independent nation, but the government in San Antonio doesn't claim to be a successor government of the old United States like the other two do.
* [[Due to
* [[Dying Moment of Awesome]]: {{spoiler|Bonnie}} going down shooting.
* [[The End of the Beginning]]: In the last episode...
Line 89:
*** [[Truth in Television]] - Motorola, while vastly outsold by larger cell phone providers, actually leads the industry in non-cell phone communication devices such as walkie-talkies.
* [[Private Military Contractors]] - Ravenwood
* [[Put
* [[Reality Ensues]]- Happens in {{spoiler|"Termination for Cause" when Jake and Russell were arguing what to do with Goetz, then Stanley drove up and shot Goetz in the head for killing Bonnie}}
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]] - Mayor Johnston Green, later Major Beck.
Line 97:
* [[Scary Black Man]]: [[Badass|Robert]]. [[The Stoic|Robert]]. [[Living a Double Life|Robert]]. He is actually the only black man in the show ([[Justified Trope|though it is set in rural Kansas]]), and even by the time we know he's a good guy, he's still a scary-ass man.
* [[Shout-Out]] - The producers evidently read ''[[Alas, Babylon]]''. At one point, Dale can't sell some metallic trinkets because there's a fear of irradiated metal (which is identical to a plot in Alas, Babylon). Hawkins also suggests that Jericho is located away from projected fallout clouds and has access to useful resources, much like Fort Repose.
* [[Slow Electricity]] - We get the city power sequential failure sequence at [[The End of the World
* [[Stealing From the Till]] - Goetz.
* [[Taking Over the Town]] - This is what the Ravenwood mercenaries do to a town they invade. They take all the supplies and shoot anyone who opposes them. Since the towns are isolated from the outside world, they do not have to worry anyone coming to help the townpeople. The people of Jericho try to preempt this by blowing the bridge into town themselves before Ravenwood crosses it.
