RIP Jericho: Johnston wasn’t the only death

The biggest bummer of late has to be the cancellation of Jericho, perhaps the best show on television. An outrageous premise definitely lived up to it’s promise. Great acting, and a very intriguing plot that basically ran itself. I guess we’ll be left wondering about the storylines: Who will win the war with New Bern? Will Mimi and Stanley ever get married? Will Dale ever take his rightful place as the main villain? What really happened in Jake’s past? Or Hawkins’ past?

I guess we’ll never get the answers to these questions. It’s a shame. Maybe they’ll bring his show back somehow, either on another channel or in the summer or something. All I know is that I will miss it.

One of the more underrated elements of this show was the opening sequence. The morse code always spelled something out, and it always meant something. Wikipedia has a list of the morse code words. The most interesting one is from the episode Semper Fidelis, the code is THEY WILL NEED IT. This, of couse, is the episode in which Jericho acquired a tank. The same tank that, seven episodes later, was really needed, and helped in the war against New Bern.
