I’m going to Skeet Skeet Skeet all over Jericho tonight. Skeet Ulrich that is, you filthy minded individuals.

I have been watching Jericho even when not being forced to. Not because I like or can relate to the characters, but it is a creepy and interesting scenario. A small town trying pick up the pieces and figure out what has happened after a nuclear attack. Like every human being would react, the first thing that needs doing is power restoration to the town watering hole.

No worries, power was restored to the whole town! Then phones everywhere started going off with a message from the assistance secretary of Homeland Security. Stay put, he says, and help will come soon. Funny, he didn’t mention anything about duct tape.

Hey, the internet is back up! Hey, it is being blocked by the government or unknown forces. Mummies!

Great, they get power back and then it spikes. Can spiking electricity overload a transformer, making a wire come loose and fry some lady? That is what this show would have you believe. I have no reason to think otherwise, besides the fact that TV lies.

Skeet has some big secrets about his time away from Jericho. They are only eluded to and not discussed out loud. Why speak when you can stew?

Remember that exploding transformer? It set the library on fire. At least there are no flammables inside. Wait, books!

Some dumb kid ran into the library to get Alice. Not a person, but Alice in Wonderland. If you run into a library to save a book, then you deserve to die in flames. I know, it sounds harsh, but it is the way it must be.

Who runs in to find the teacher who went to find the kid? Skeet’s brother, who took the time to put on a firemen’s jacket but not a smoke mask. Sweet cleansing fire.

The fellow from St. Louis has a working computer, satellite dish, and a cover for himself and his “family.” That is, until Skeet saw his little set up through a rifle scope. Ahhhh, the things you can see through a rifle scope. Next door neighbors, deer for the safety of your deer stand, and JFK’s head.

Now the presidential seal and podium appeared on television. They are empty, but not for long. I have a feeling that this is all Stephen Colbert’s doing.

Skeet was going to tell his dad what he had but up to, but his dad didn’t care. Everything was forgiven. But Mr. St. Louis had a different plan. Our good friend Skeet has been flagged for airport inspection. I think. There were some flashing letters on a computer screen that weren’t talking about porn, so I can only assume they dealt with airplanes.

The episode ended with missiles, possibly nuclear, launched into the sky. It looks like they were launched from the US. There you have your cliffhanger. A damn good one too.
