Well, if you are going to write someone off a show, the writers of Jericho did a wonderful job of taking a not-so-liked character....The opening scene between Mimi and Stanley briefly struck me as boring and frightening.....This small but powerful scene just added a whole new layer to the mythos of the Jericho universe which left me wanting to know more....He was fun to watch, and delivered a great performance with his brief time on the episode.....Watching Jake convince him to do the right thing was one of ...
