Stoopid Jericho - The Finale

Meh.
Spoiler
They knew they had to wrap it up tonight, so allow gaping holes in the plot that the Titanic could have sailed through with ease.
J&R has the bomb and they (at least their head honchos) know this is their ultra top secret highest priority item, so they've barely got half a dozen guards around it?
They chase Jake and Hawkins to the Texan embassy, but they neglect to cover the back entrances, so that they can later drive all the way to the airport without being caught? (And why does Texas call itself the "Independent Republic of Texas"? Wouldn't the "Republic of Texas" say as much while being far more historical?)
Of course, Jake can't follow orders and let Hawkins sacrifice himself to buy time. And this being television, he gets away with it and manages to take off with plenty of time.
And then the ASA can't intercept the plane until it's almost to the Texan border?
And, meanwhile, back in Jericho, did Stanley just walk into the morgue to ask for Bonnie's body to take home and bury?
And is Beck planning to show the evidence on that laptop to every military force they meet from now on, now that he's joined the rebellion?
I can see how this episode left open the possibility for another season, but it's just as well that there won't be one.
