The Showtime cable series Jeremiah was set in a bleak, post-apocalyptic future, 15 years after a mysterious virus had killed off everyone past puberty. The only survivors of the holocaust were teenagers and twentysomethings, with the eponymous Jeremiah (Luke Perry) falling into the latter category. Following fragmentary clues left by his father, Jeremiah navigated the dismal, ravaged countryside in search of the "Valhalla Sector," an idyllic locale which may or may not have held the key to a brighter future. He was joined in his quest by the glib, supremely untrustowrthy Kurdy (Malcolm-Jamal Warner), and, on occasion, by other youthful remnants of the human race, both friendly and antagonistic. Co-executive produced by horror film specialist Joe Dante and Babylon 5 maven J. Michael Straczynski, the weekly, 60-minute Jeremiah was launched with a 100-minute pilot episode on March 30, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

En route to an FBI convention in Florida, Mulder and Scully are detoured by a roadblock. It isn't long before the two agents are swept into the investigation of several mysterious disappearances in the area. It is likewise not long before Mulder and Scully themselves are targeted for death by a hideous predator with red, glowing eyes. First broadcast November 23, 1997, "Detour" was written by X-Files stalwart Frank Spotnitz. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
