“Every time I think this show has grown a pair,” John grumbled as Tom Baldwin miraculously breathed in and ripped off his bandages to show that he had been healed by Shawn, “they crawl right back up into the body cavity.” For a whole second, I thought Tom was dead, but then I thought, “Wait. [...]

The gods of television hate me. I was thrilled to tune in to The 4400 tonight because I thought this was it. This was the season finale and I would be done with promicin and Tom Baldwin and Jordan Collier until next summer. Noooooooooo. The season finale is next week. I just want this to [...]

Most action packed episode ever! Tom Baldwin freaks out in Promise City, breaking Jordan Collier’s kneecap, bashing his son’s head in with a shovel and smacking Diana Skouris in the face with the shovel’s handle! PSYCH!!!! It was all one Tom Baldwin’s daydreams. Yeah, that hasn’t been overused at all. That’s a shame because Agent [...]

I’m getting the impression that network people think Geeks will watch anything as long as it has superpowers or spaceships or hot babes in it. How else can the downfall of The 4400 be explained? It’s like they’ve stopped trying to make it compelling and instead have settled on making it convoluted. And then they [...]

Richard Tyler always looks like he’s holding back a mighty poop. I’m glad to see him back on the show; however, he would have been much more interesting over the past few seasons if he had taken some initiative earlier in the game. I understand that he had to deal with his wife’s passing and [...]

One of my biggest annoyances with serial fiction after a show’s first season is the palpable lack of danger – especially when it comes to the principal players. This is why the first season of most shows are usually the best. The writers and producers have no guarantee that the show will even be back [...]

I usually Tivo The 4400 and fast forward through the opening credits, so I’ve forgotten just how bad that opening song sounds. I had also almost put Maia behind me, but “Till We Have Built Jerusalem” brought her back, front and center and now I have an entirely new problem with her. Related Stuff:

The universe hates Tom Baldwin. His son was in a coma for two years and then was in prison. Now that Kyle is back, he’s joined up with Jordon Collier, the enemy. Last week he was held hostage by the happy promicin village. This week he gets injected in the head by something while he’s [...]

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 [...]

Last season in “Gone, Part II”, we learned that there were two factions of Future People: Pro and Anti-Catastrophe. The Anti-Cats plucked and altered the 4400 to save the future. The Pro-Cats think the chaos brought on by the catastrophe will make them more powerful. The Pro-Cats were also big fans of Isabelle, who is [...]

I learned a lot about Billy Campbell, the actor playing Jordan Collier, today. I just figured out that he’s the hottie who played the Rocketeer in 1991 and played a Star Trek: TNG character I crushed on in 1988. Surprisingly, when he’s not made up to look like a homeless guy, he’s still pretty hot. [...]

The USA Network wants you to know that Promicin is NOT a real substance. It won’t get you high. It’s non-addictive. It’s not a gateway drug to Spice or Tek or Dust or Soma or any other drug that doesn’t exist. Seriously, there’s a public notice posted on their website reading: Please be aware that [...]

What’s been going on in the 4400-verse since last summer? Promicin has been on the street for a while and thousands of people have died by injecting it. Diana Skouris is in Spain with her stolen boyfriend and Maia. Tom Baldwin is still looking for Alana, who was taken again at the end of last [...]
