Jericho is one of the few shows I have really latched on to during this new season. The feeling of doom, hope, isolation, and togetherness are fun to watch from week to week. And scary. Gut scary. Scary in your gut.
Last episode, the residents of Jericho came together to harvest corn. The was kind of…I don’t want to say corny. But what else can I say? Let us just keep in mind that I don’t mean this in a terrible pun sort of way.
Mitch, a kid who ran with the wrong crowd and our hero Jake back in the day, is in jail. He was just a small part of the giant criminal underbelly of the powerless Jericho.
This show does contain the worst subplot of any TV show ever. The world is ending and an IRS agent is in town trying to foreclose on a local farm. That doesn’t seem logical to me, but then again, I don’t work for the IRS.
Jake made a deal with head bad guy, who claims he is just salvaging what he sees, to let Mitch out of jail if he stays away from town. They have history that will surely be addressed later.
Also, someone developed radiation poisoning, which isn’t good for anybody. Or he was just beaten up by criminals. He was a water delivery man from Topeka. According to him, New York was saved but DC was blown up.
The town is still celebrating Halloween. With the deal with bad guys gone sour, this will be one very bad holiday. They stole their little friend Mitch back and got away, free and clear. Free, at least.
Everyone in this town has pit and chest stains. Supplies of deodorant must be low. Oddly, Jake is wearing a heavy jacket. So is it hot or cold out? Regardless, Jake is trying to make another deal with the bad guys.
The mayor has gone septic from too many antibiotics. The medication they need is two towns over in Rouge River! Something had better happen on this 90 mile trip. Otherwise, I will be slightly to greatly annoyed.
Sub-par episode with a twist thrown in with the new group of badies. I do feel like my hour of time was wasted.
