A Different Take on 'Jericho'

Some thoughts I had whilst watching the series. The political situation by the end seemed a bit too simplified - I couldn't see everybody just coming together like that when there's more than one clear, dominant government. Here, the ASA (which views itself as just another US-successor instead of a whole new organisation) and Texas vie for influence in the west, barred from expansion beyond the Mississippi by UN-administered zones, where no clear power has emerged. The east has two US-successors - New York and Columbus - and a variety of neutral states in the south.
