I caught the first episode of Jericho, missed the second, and here is the third. The first one was okay.

Radioactive rain and inmates in cop uniforms were about to descend upon the little town of Jericho in episode two. We start this episode 18 hours after the bombs went off. Oh yeah, bombs went off in some major cities. Thus, the radiation. I knew you knew it didn’t come from nowhere. You’re smart like that.

The town has split up into different shelters, to avoid the deadly water. Some are in a mine, others are someplace else. Sorry, they’re not telling me their GPS location. If they do, I’ll let you know.

Oh, and one of dudes in the mine is claustrophobic. That’s good for everybody. He is a teacher too. I wonder what he couldn’t do that led him to teach what he couldn’t do. He must teach “Stay Cool Under Pressure 101.”

It’s city hall. That’s where the other large group is at. It said that on the building as the camera gave us an establishing shot. I admit that I was temporarily blind for two minutes previously, when I didn’t see that the first time around.

The teacher is dead. I assume he was killed so he wouldn’t start a panic. They say it was a heart attack, but I don’t know how a heart could even hold a knife or gun.

It rain turned out to be free of radioactivity, unlike the Fiesta Ware in so many of the towns people’s kitchen cabinets.

The local bar adjusted their satellite dish and got a quick feed from a Japanese program. They showed at least 5 bomb locations across the USA. Probably more. I never learned to count past 5. Which means I am 5 years old.

At least the bar is still open. That way, the guys who killed that teacher for the sake of others can drown their sorrows and eat stale peanuts.

Four folks are headed off in separate directions to see what they can find. Skeet found an empty airplane that had landed on the road. Free airplane!

Skeet found himself the blackbox and took it back to town for everyone to enjoy. There were mushroom clouds in Kansas City, somewhere in Texas, and F-16 fighter jets in the air. Put it all together and what do you get? Damn, I don’t have a punchline to that question. I really don’t know why I said it.

The quiet loner kid found a train to the tones of Third Eye Blind. Free train! There is so much free stuff in a post-apocalyptic world!
