Jeremiah (TV series): Difference between revisions

{{quote|''What did any of us ever do to you? What did the whole fucking world do to you that we deserve all of this? I mean, come on, the locusts and the death of the first-born wasn't good enough for you anymore, so now it's the death of the eldest? The death of heroes? You know what? Fuck you. Because we're not just gonna lay down and die down here. You want to finish off the job? Come down here! Do it yourself. You send the Angel of Death, you better give him one hell of a big sword, because I tell you what, we are gonna kick his ass all the way back to the great white fucking throne. And then we're coming for you.''|'''Jeremiah''', [[Rage Against the Heavens|to God]]}}

 

 

In the early 21st century, a supervirus known as "the Big Death" was unleashed across the planet: highly communicable, short incubation period and one-hundred percent fatal to anyone who had reached the age of puberty or higher. Within six months, the population had been decimated and the only survivors were the pre-pubescent children, who somehow had to rebuild a society they never fully knew. [[After the End|Fifteen years later]], one such survivor is Jeremiah (Perry), who [[Walking the Earth|travels]] between the rural, low-tech communities that have cropped up in the intervening years and searches tirelessly for something called "Valhalla Sector", a place his father once spoke of as a possible refuge against the Big Death.

* [[He Who Must Not Be Seen]]: Daniel

** {{spoiler|Who doesn't exist.}}

* [[Jerkass]]: [[Sassy Black Lady|Theo]], who is a strong contender for the least likable person in the series. She's not ''evil'', per se, just incredibly unpleasant.

* [[La Résistance]]

* [[Mysterious Past]]: Mr. Smith, most likely a [[Dark and Troubled Past]] too."I have some issues ... One of thousands. Would you like to hear them alphabetically or in order of psychic trauma?"

* [[No Name Given]]: Mr. Smith. "So if I was going to introduce you to somebody, I'd say, this is Mr. Mr. Smith?"

* [[Non-Indicative Name]]: Although Jeremiah, the character the show is named after, is ''a'' main character, he is by no means the only one - Kurdy gets as much screen time and dialogue as he does, and there's a whole ensemble of other recurring characters who get nearly as much face time.

* [[Only a Flesh Wound]]: Played straight (Jeremiah's freaking ''point-blank gut wound'') and subverted (Mr. Smith's arm wound making him permanently paralyzed there). Of course, given that this is Mr. Smith we're talking about, it's not subverted for long.

* [[Orphan's Ordeal]]

* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: Theo

* [[Sassy Black Woman]]: Theo again.

* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: Megan and Marcus, one of the worst cases when you think about it.

* [[Stargate City]]: They even use the [[Stargate SG-1|SGC]] as their HQ!
