Sadly, we all got to watch the one that gave us a nice conclusion. It wasn’t something we wanted to see, but with the series likely over, they chose to go with that one.

Well, now the alternate, second ending to season 2 is out on YouTube and definitely worth a watch. The video leaves the obvious possibility of a major U.S. Civil War and the rescue of Hawkins.

Who knows, maybe we’ll still get to see that story someday.

And while the show has its critics for being totally unrealistic, I really don’t care. I’ve just come to enjoy this utter fictional world where a nuclear-blasted America finds itself trying to fight for survival.

I love the characters, especially Jake Green, played by Skeet Ulric. He’s just perfect for this role and his character never lacks in toughness and butt-kicking ability. Jericho never holds back either. A week ago they killed off a sweet deaf girl, and this week a man was executed with a single shot to the head.

Hooold on, I’m not saying deaf girls dying is good, I’m just trying to point out that they don’t hold back punches. They are like Lost in a way where people get killed that you didn’t really expect. The girl, the leader of Ravenwood, Jake’s father last year and a few others.

I was worried about season 2 but it’s been very enjoyable. A total “popcorn flick” if there ever was one on television.

Now it only has two episodes left in the season and CBS has a decision to make. Apparently they’ve filmed two endings: One to bring closure to the series and one to give us a cliffhanger until Season 3.

CBS will make their decision pretty quick I guess. The writers of the show made sure to have two endings filmed, because if the show is done, they didn’t want CBS to be pelted with more bags of peanuts to try and save the show a second time.

I’m all for the cliffhanger personally, although a conclusion would be interesting to see.

It does irk me that somehow the fans were able to keep this one from total cancellation, yet it’s definitely not as good as Journeyman, which appears will never return.

But regardless, I did get into the post-apocalyptic world of Skeet Ulrich and Jericho, and am looking forward to the season premiere.

I haven’t heard super-awesome things about the first few episodes, so I don’t hold out much hope for it picking up where we left off.

If you want to catch up on it, here are some spoilers, the trailer and photos.

Any other Jericho fans out there that will be watching tonight?

It didn’t sound like it would pan out well, with Skeet Ulrich and Gerald McRaney as the stars, but it had a fun little quality to it. The plot revolves around a world in which nuclear war has left the people still alive scrambling to survive. Jericho is a little town outside Denver that slowly begins to realize what happened and who else is still out there.

There is an underlying plot as well, with a conspiracy involving the nukes that were fired and who actually pulled the trigger.

The show was due to be canceled but 40,000 bags of peanuts sent to CBS helped convince them to bring it back for another season.

Jericho’s second season amounts to only seven episodes, in which CBS directed them to complete the story, but the producers have said they don’t think these will be the final episodes for the series.
