The 4400: Try the Pie
Maybe this “God” that Kyle and Cassie keep referring to is an acronym – G.O.D. – and it’s really just a lost space probe that was refurbished by an alien species and sent back to Earth to build a better internet. Or, maybe it’s a new mental disorder and Cassie is really an employee of a future pharmaceutical company, trying to get in on the ground floor to make billions off sufferers of Generalized Obstinacy Disorder.
The God and paradise talk on The 4400 is really starting to bug me. There should be enough human drama and political intrigue building to leave that aspect out of it. On the other hand, I guess they’ve got to do more to differentiate themselves now that Heroes is huge.
The ending was such a cop out. It would have been much better for the Village of the Damned to force the Promicin shot on Tom Baldwin instead of wussing out, giving him a sedative and then skipping town. That would have introduced an entirely new conflict to the show.
Jordon Collier said to Kyle, “Revolution divides. . . religion unites” after insisting that he’s not a messiah. What history books has Collier been reading? Religion is extremely divisive. Does the Middle East not exist in the 4400-verse? And, whether he likes it or not, these promicin people are following him like he’s a religious leader. They’re far too understanding and too willing to drop their peaceful, freakily happy lives for Jordan Collier.
OK, I have a new 4400 rule: Billy Campbell must perform all of his scenes without a shirt. Or in a wet t-shirt. That guy looked ripped when he was coming out of the lake in that opening scene. I want to support that.
