One of Us (4.10)

Airdate: 8/19

Okay after a very long week, I finally got home to see the [recorded tape] of this episode. So you all finally get my review!


1st Break
-Sweet, we got to see the future science lab! Have to say I loved that laser gun that the bad future human used. Now truly know it was the bad people to intervene with Richard & Lily. It gets me curious as to what would have happened had the guy not gotten killed.

-Ah, little Jordan (Isabelle)!!! She is so adorable and I love her little laugh- it's so cute.

-Okay and Tom having that "memory" of being the one to say Richard was about to be a father- very nice!

-Wahoo, Lily's back! How- that part I'm still trying to figure out.

-Look forward to more!

-And oh yeah, Tom sleeping with Megan- okay I think I've gotten used to that now.

2nd Break
-Okay now that's a lot to digest!

-Okay so 9 out of 10 left handed people who take the shot will survived?! That's crazy!

-Was it me or did Kevin look worried when Shawn said that stuff about making the announcement on people waiting a while to take the shot.

-I am lovin' Tom's hallucinations, they are really twisted!

-Is Rebecca Parish one of the marked? It seems that way considering she wants Tom to accept the changes within him.

-Nice of Di to cover for Tom while he went to have himself checked out by a private physician.

-I have to say that I do love the Richard & Lily moments.

-Aw, Lily seeing the pic of Richard and older Isabele- that was a little sad.

-Lovin' this epi though!

3rd Break
-Again, lovin' this episode!

-Ah, Tom is no longer Tom- how cool! Wonder how he'll act now.

-So it's official, Rebecca is one of the Marked!

-So that's how Lily was brought back- Byron is using his ability on Richard.

-I don't know why but for some reason Cassie seemed a little colder than usual. Why not just tell Kyle where Isabelle is?

-And little Jordan again! How adorable is that kid?!

-Damn Jordan (Collier)! Just listen to Shawn. Now I don't know who's side to choose anymore. Do I choose Shawn considering that there can be a possibility of fewer deaths or do I choose Jordan which if done things his way the deaths will be greater despite the new advantages?

4th Break
-Man this is intense!

-I agree with Diana, the joke that Tom/Evil Tom did was so not funny. And to top it off, the joke thing was so unlike the Tom Baldwin we know.

-I was near tears when Lily vanished. It was nice having her around.

-Cassie so works for the bad future! I mean she has to be since she wants Kyle to turn Isabelle over to Tom who is no longer the real Tom Baldwin anymore. I can't believe it! Don't think it's changed my view on her though- Cassie is still cool.

5th Break
-Man, oh man, oh man!

-Okay so Evil Tom has Isabelle but lies to Diana about her escaping. Evil Tom used so many tranquilizers on both Richard and Cora. When he did that to them I jumped out of my seat!

-I knew Richard would use his ability on Di: a gun vs. telechenesis- that is no contest; but 'ouch'- a chair to the hip at full force and a bump on the head to boot- again, 'ouch'!

-Wonder what Evil Tom plans to do about Isabelle- sure enough make her evil again, I fear.

End

-Wow, the last few moments were incredible!

-Evil Tom has Isablle at his house and wants her get her abilities back- NO!!!!!!!!

-I can't believe Cassie wants Kyle to stop Shawn. Hope Kyle figures out she's working for the wrong side.

-By the look in Diana's eyes, it's clear she knows something is off with Tom. Hope she gets to the bottom of it.

-Another thing, loved that x-ray machine that the future [Tom] used on Lily. That thing was awesome!

End Notes
-Overall this episode rocked!

-The storyline was well written, the acting was terrific and this one had many twists and turns so I never knew what direction it was going!

-To Joel G.: Great transition from "Being Tom Baldwin" to being the evil future human. Your acting was very sinister. It reminded me of your "Taken" days!

-To Laura A.: It was so fun to have you back. I can only wish that some next 4400 or P+ will find another way of having you return

-To Mar. Ali: Again, great job in this episode. It was fun to see you and Laura act along side each other once again

-To Little Jordan: It's always fun to watch kids grow up on a television show, especially when a fan is so involved in the show that you feel like you've grown up with them. It was fun having you around to play the role of infant Isabelle. I was so happy, thrilled, and proud to see you playing and running around and laughing and even saying a few lines! You girl, you own baby Isabelle so it was great having you get the role again!

This epi definately deserves a 10+ hands down!

Daddy's Little Girl (409)

8/12/07

7:05

-Excellent opener!

-Finally we got to see Kevin & Tess! I had a dream the night before that Kevin would be back. In the dream I saw him in the garden with Kyle and Isabelle so when I was saw him, I was stoked.

-I liked how Tess was having fun at the diner by listening to oldies and making everyone dance. I've always loved her ability.

-Desperate times call for desperate measures- good going for Kevin to call Shawn. Hope he is able to do something.

-Tender moment of Isabelle & Kyle picking tomatoes. Gradually I'm starting to see some romantic chemistry between these two. I actually enjoy that. Either that or Kyle takes his job in protecting Isabelle really seriously.

-Wahoo, Richard is back! Ali looks great. Even though Richard never was really one of my fav. characters, I am glad he's back.

-Tom and Doyle kissed!!!!! Sad to say that when the two were sitting on the couch, all I could imagine was that it should have been Alana who was there. Felt a little weird on the kiss because I miss Alana so much but hopefully I can come to get used to it.

7:17

-Okay so Tom slept with Doyle and now she wants it to be a one night stand sort of thing (I guess another negative for Tom).

-Tess is still such a joy! She is having so much fun at the party while everyone is all tired. Bobby, I guess her boyfriend before she went to the mental institution. I also liked that we got to know when Tess was put in the M.I.; the day before her sweet 16 in 1953. Funny how Kevin shouted it out like that!

-Love what Collier is doing with Promise City- him and all the P+ and 4400s.

-Okay what the heck is Richard doing with Isabelle?! I couldn't believe what he did and then take her away like that. What are his plans?

7:28

-So Tess finally used her ability on Kevin. That was so sad when she forced him to burn his hand on the grill. I could feel a tear welling up in my eye.

-Love that NTAC worked with Collier even though Collier sees it as an advantage point so they can be in debt to him and help him out with a favor later on. Guess PJ's game did have a ripple effect after all.

-Okay I get that Richard wants to start over but he's going too far by actually using Cora's ability to turn Isabelle into a child. I knew that there was something more than water by the way Richard saw Isabelle drink.

-Hope Kyle finds a way to save her.

7:38

-I still have not gotten bored with the storyline. I love it!

-Tess is stubborn but in a funny way.

-And aw, the look on Kevin's face when Tess said she hated him. That was sad.

-Great, Tess is making Shawn dance, that can't be good.

-I am really feeling bad for Isabelle- she keeps getting younger and younger.

-Finally we get to see Cassie! I've missed her, she has been a cool character this season. Why won't she tell Kyle/us why Isabelle is important? I'm dying to know now.

-Love that guy's ability to write out his life.

-Look forward to more!

7:49

-Wahoo, Tess is completely healed- no more schytzophrenia! I'm really happy that Shawn finally healed her. She's suffered from that illness long enough.

-Awesome kiss between Kevin & Tess!!! So that's what it took for Tess' ability to wear off!

-Loved the moment of Kyle protecting young Isabelle, so much for the romantic tension I saw earlier. It's good to see that young Isabelle remembers Kyle at least.

-Richard is so not a force to be reackoned with! He was able to use his ability on Kyle, Tom, Diana, and take out the whole back up force. Loved Jed's saying, "Oh boy," when he saw Richard in front of him. Loved the agent going backward and into the ditch.

8:00

-The ending was incredible!

-I cannot believe that Isabelle chose to drink the water! I was so hopoing that she would want to find a way to reverse it. Richard sure is a smart guy though- Isabelle was young enough so he took advantage of that by giving her the choice of either finding a way to reverse the effects or taking a sip of the water. Little girls alwayd do want to please their daddy's, most of the time, so of coarse she would drink it. A huge part of me just couldn't believe it though. I have really come to enjoy grown up Isabelle.

-Going to Kevin and Tess: It will be good to have them around at the Center. Scytzo Tess has always been a treat but it will be great for her to function normally now, well as normally as possible. And now Kevin has a theory that he might be able to find out who's at risk of dying from Promicin and those who can be saved, how sweet is that?! I look forward to the future of Burkhoff's research. And now just hopefully, he and Tess can have a happy life together.

-Good going on Tom's part for letting Kyle go. Maybe on some level he is starting to come around- either jail or Promise City. I'm glad he chose Promise City. I don't think Kyle could survive jail again.

-Commenting on the Tom & Megan moments: I'm really glad Megan didn't use the "friends with benefits" saying. That one is kind of old, "really good friends" did the trick. Still gonna take me a while to get used to them in that way but it was obvious it was bound to happen the first day they met.

-I can now only imagine what will happen to Tom since his "mole" is back. On one small upside, I'm glad that Tom was more concerned about that then kissing Megan when he ran out on her to see it for himself. The future sure will be messing with him and now I'm starting to get the feeling that it will be real soon.

End Notes

-Okay so what else is there to say?! I am going to be rating this episode a 9+. I loved it a whole lot and it had some great elements of surprise.

-M. Ali it is great to have you back! They have really done an awesome job with your character Richard. They took him to a place that I didn't even think was possible. Just when I thought he would do one thing, it would turn and something completely different and unexpected would happen. Loved it!

-And how adorable were the young actressed that played Isabelle?! I absolutely loved the actress that played 8 yr. old Isabelle. She was so cute and her voice so innocent.

-I thought Megalyn did a terrific job on portraying 15 yr. old Isabelle. That must not have been easy but she pulled it off. Also loved how she was able to lower your voice to a teenager of that age.

-It was also great to have Jeff & Summer back as well. Kevin and Tess have always been some joyful characters and they did an awesome job. Really loved the diner storyline. That was so fun.

-Sad that there are only about eight more episodes, but I look forward to each and everyone of them, not knowing what they are about of coarse! It's always so fun to go into the episodes completely blind, not even watching the "next time on the 4400" trailers that they show after each episode.

-Cast and Crew of the 4400, keep it up! You guys are doing beyond an excellent job. Season 4 is now knocking of season 3 as my favorite!

No Exit (408)

8/5/07

7:03

-Okay crazy opener!

-So they all were off on their own and now all of a sudden they wake up at NTAC?!

-Strange. Tom woke up at his desk, Di woke up at the breakroom, and Megan under her desk. Then Marco & the theory room guys in their office.

-And how crazy was it that it was Collier who came out of the elevator?! He seemed just as lost and confused as Megan and Tom.

-Can't wait for more!

7:15

-I am so digging this episode!

-NTAC thinks the 4400 and/or P Positives had something to do with it and Jordan and his team think it's NTAC's fault.

-Sad to see Maia behind the locked door when she was banging on it. She was so scared.

-Ha, Shawn & Isabelle were lying next to each other. I wonder if the Marked has something to do with what's going on (just a thought.)

-Cool to see Orson Bailey's name on one of the doors.

-And there is no way Megan can be dead.

7:24

-OMG! So much to digest.

-Kyle got cut and Shawn had tons of glass exploded in his back and died!

-Maia spoke her thoughts on what she felt about the whole Diana/Marco situation. Ha, loved the look Di gave to Maia at the end of the conversation just before Kyle entered the office. It was like she wanted Maia to drop the discussion. I found it funny.

-OMG, PJ took the shot! He was the last person I thought would actually take it.

-Still confused on what his ability is though.

-Were they all supposed to work things out or what?

7:39

-Okay now I got what PJ's ability is. He can create a virtual reality and the players all get introduced when they think of the same place.

-I am loving this one!

-Really loved that Collier complimented Tom on raising Shawn. At least he was trying. Tom on the other hand kept slapping Collier's hand away, metaphorically speaking.

-I don't blame Di for wanting Maia away from Isabelle but man she was harsh. Just goes to show though at how much she wants to keep Maia safe. Maia did seem happy with Kyle and even with Isabelle. She might still not forgive Isabelle but at least she was trying to help them out.

-OMG, PJ died when they found the exit! No way. I can't believe it. Most importantly, I don't understand why.

-Guess now it really is up to NTAC and Collier's team!

7:48

-For a second I thought Diana would ask Isabelle to look after Maia. Guess that was too much to hopeful after Di's little blowout towards her. It was much cooler that she wanted Isabelle to go with them since it was her plan to short circuit the building.

-Tom & Collier working together for once, I like it. Granted they have to complete the circuit using themselves and potentially die but still.

-Also, love the idea of the building being the one that kills them. It actually does make sense that the building would have a mind of it's own. So much happens that it is very believable that it can finally have enough and just take matters into its own hands.

-Can't wait for the last 10 min.

8:00

-The last ten min. were great!

-I felt really bad for PJ since he has to go to jail. Funny how Dole said he tried to make a run for Promise City. Too bad he didn't make it.

-Okay there is total sexual tension between Tom and Megan. Especially when Tom hugged her. I'm kind of on the fense about them.

-Really happy that Diana & Marco will be getting their friendship back on track.

-Was it me or did there also seem to be some kind of sexual tension between Kyle & Isabelle?! On some odd level I sure hope so.

-I was a little surprised that Collier called Tom to inform him that Kyle was okay. Tom called Collier by his first name- guess PJ helped with that at least; it's a small start. Loved the little "relationship bit" with the two deciding who would hang up the phone first.

Favorite Quotes

"You're okay now, you're with me, you're safe."- Diana comforting Maia

"No, I'm not out of luck. I found you three- that should be enough."- Collier to Shawn, Kyle, and Isabelle

"You know, it doesn't have to be so weird and quiet in here, you guys can talk to each other."- Maia to Diana and Marco

"I want a son, not a martyr for Collier's cause."- Tom to Kyle

"Jordan Collier and Tom Baldwin actually cooperated."- PJ to Diana and Marco about the game

"The infamous Skouris meatloaf."- Marco
"It's gotten better, I promise."- Diana

"So Tom, would you like to hang up, or should I?"- Collier

End Notes

-I'm starting to run out of words to say because this season has been so great.

-They gave PJ a great ability and it all played out so well. And the actors were great with each other.

-Once again, I was impressed.

-Another great score for the 4400. I rate it a 10+.

Till We Built Jeruselem (407)

written: 7/29/07

7:05

-Loved the opener!

-Just how many people did Collier invite to his hide out?

-I really like how we are now getting an insight to Maia's visions. Something that has never happened before this season. Very cool.

-Aw, Tom came over to the Skouris apartment for dinner. I thought that was very nice especially considering that Diana is right, in all the years they'd worked together, she never invited him over for dinner.

-Funny for Di to notice Megan has a thing for him.

7:16

-Wow okay so there is a lot to process!

-Red flag on Doyle touching Tom! After last week I was convinced Doyle worked for the Marked but now for some reason I can't help but think she has an alterior motive- that this is her way of getting Tom to their side. I could be wrong but it's just a thought.

-Nice change to see Maia at NTAC helping out on finding Collier. It's always fun to see a little kid surrounded by a bunch of grown ups.

-I bet the P+ who used that noise ability on Tom in "Try the Pie" was the one to create those devices that stopped Tom and Diana

-Absolutely loved Collier's message! I am so on his side. I have been since the beginning but it's when he makes those bold speeches that makes me truly side with him.

-And look at Maia: the look on her face when Collier was on tv made me think she was either being brainwashed or she was coming to terms with what was happening and she felt the need to do something.

7:27

-Okay, again there is more to process!

-The government still has their enhanced super soldier program: intense!

-I could not believe Maia was caught on survaliance sneaking into Collier's hide out! I was screaming when that happened. I just couldn't believe it! Although after the conversation Maia had with her mom over the phone, I knew Maia would eventually take matters into her own hands but I still could not bellieve it!

-Once again Cassie was right in Kyle needing to be at the right place at the right time. I just wish that Cassie was shown more. It's great hearing what she has planned but I would actually like to see Cassie- she was cool.

7:37

-I am so loving this episode!

-I have to admit that I loved Maia & Jordan's interaction. And I enjoyed Kyle's smile when Maia asked COllier if he was a good guy or a bad guy. She was so mature yet she still had the child innocence to her.

-I'm kind of glad Maia didn't forgive Isabelle. Just goes to show Maia won't take anything from anyone even if they appologize.

-I loved that "Lady of the Lake's" ability. To purify a river that was filthy and ifled with disease. Very cool ability.

-And why do the super soldiers get the good abilities? Interesting.

-Can't wait for more!

7:48

-I'm impressed that Maia wants to stay in Promise City. Never would have thought that of her. Although I don't really blame her. I would too.

-Okay so someone has an ability to cramp a person's neck- ouch!

-Fun to see Jordan's ability again: taking out the Promicin from the super soldiers.

-As for Shawn, I accept that he's human and made a mistake but I still don't like that he's going against Collier. But there does have to be some conflict and Shawn is doing that one step at a time.

8:00

-Despite taht Maia lied to Jordan about her vision, I don't blame her for it. She was simply being human: lying to protect people. Collier wasn't listening to Tom or to Diana so Maia just took things into her hands the only way she knew how. She figured she would give it a shot one 4400 to another in hopes that Collier would maybe listen to her. Maia did what she felt was the right thing. She's a tough kid for lying to one of the most important people in the world and most importantly for having the courage to tell her mother the truth in that she did lie about her vision. Maia really is maturing in so many ways and I am proud of her.

-As humans, we are told that it is wrong to lie yet we do it anyways, sometimes those lies come with the best intentions. I know that there will be fans out there who don't like that Maia lied but I think a lot of us can put ourselves in Maia's shoes. We sometimes lie because we feel that the lie is better than the truth and we feel that sometimes a lie will protect people. That's all Maia did: she was being human and she acted in a way that a human would react in a stressful situation. I know I've been there before. So Maia, I am not holding this one against you- nor any other future lies that might happen.

End Notes

-I have to say that I was definately impressed with tonight's episode. Maia showed some real backbone and Conchita's acting in this mature role really showed it! She was superb!

-Jacqueline's role as the protective mother was once again a highlight! I love that she can balance the though NTAC agent role with the loving mom role. And it's always fun when Jacqui & Conchita have scenes together because they are so heart warming.

-Billy Campbell: what is there to say about him?! He owns the role of Collier! Ever since his return in season 3, I have come to love the character of Collier and Billy does one heck of a job with it. I have to make a comment on his long hair and beard. I don't see it as a "new Jesus" type look (as I keep my religious beliefs seperate from the show) but I love his look- they are a character all on their own.

-That's one impressive thing that I love about the 4400: when I watch, I don't see the actors, I see the actual characters. The actors behind it all though are great because they make this show believable and they make it come to life. They take you into a whole other world and you can leave your other one behind.

-So back to the episode, this one definately deserves a 10+. I have loved season 4 but this episode is definately the icing on top of the cake (I would say cherry but considering we still have about 6 more episodes, give or take I get the feeling that with the way the seaosn is going, there are bound to be more tremendously great episodes to come.) There were so many great scenes and the dialogue was amazing in tonight's episode.

To the writers, creators, actors, and everyone else that makes this show possible: thank you so much for giving us a new reality and for giving us another amazing season 4 episode!

The Marked (4.6)

(written 7/22/07)

7:10

-Excellent opener! The black & white movie was lame but hilarious. Even more hilarious when we saw Diana, Tom, and the Theory room guys just watching it.

-Curtis Peck is a trip. So his ability allows him to make movies on conspiracies, how cool.

-Cassie led Jordan's team to a bomb shelter- nice. Glad Collier trusts Kyle & his ability

7:20

-OMG! I cannot believe it: 10 bad future entities have embodied the lives of ordinary people and their plan is to continue on the path of destruction.

-While Isabelle was meant to be the weapon of the future, it would seem that she did do right in killing Matthew.

-I am loving this Curtis Peck character

-An "X" behind the left earlobe tells if they are one of the marked. Very interesting place to insert the entity. Makes it difficult to track.

-This whole thing adds even more questions though. I don't mind. I like that there are more questions!

7:31

-This is crazy, I don't know who to trust anymore! It's hard to tell who may be one of the marked and who won't be.

-Great meeting with Shawn, Kyle, Isabelle, & Collier. Was glad to see that Shawn told Jordan about Maia's vision on Hewitt.

-And Tom on a psych hold, geeze!

-I can't believe Doyle turned over the e-mail. I mean I know it's her job but she didn't even think of the reprocutions

7:40

-We saw Marco's apartment! He's got a very nice place- it's more like a studio but I love it.

-I love Curtis, he seems very cool. And I love his ability! The same thing happens to me: I get ideas stuck in my head and don't know the ending until I finish the story. I might as well have that ability

-Tough break for Doyle & Skouris. Diana feels like she was betrayed & Doyle feels terrible about what happened since she didn't think the government would do that to Tom.

-What was Tom injected with? And who were those guys? Agents of "The Marked"?

7:50

-I can't believe this, the Marked so got to Curtis!!! The car wouldn't have driven offf that fast if it hadn't been them.

-Intense arguement between Collier and Shawn. I really enjoyed it though. And now it's 100% clear as to where Shawn stands and it's not with Jordan and the movement.

-So Marco recites song lyrics when he's stuck. Nice to know something about him

-I loved the moment when Diana picked Tom up from the hospital and how Tom was telling her that they must have done something to him. I just loved the fear in Diana's eyes. Another great sign of just how much their friendship means.

8:00

-Okay stupid, stupid, stupid, Shawn! Why did he heal Hewitt? Hewitt is supposed to be the one who gets involved with those Promicin prison camps so you'd think Shawn would be happy that Hewitt has been stopped.

-Only question, if it wasn't Jordan who was involved in Hewitt's stroke who was it? It couldn't have been the Marked could it- that just doesn't make sense considering what they are out trying to do. Could it possibly be the good people from the future? That seems to be my guess but time will tell as it always does

-NO!!!! They made Tom and agent of the Marked. The bad people are messing up everything!
-Loved the sentimental moment between Kyle & Collier

End Notes
-On my scale I am definately rating this episode a 10+ !

-I really love the direction that they are taking with the show.

-And the whole thing with the Marked taking over ordinary humans- love it!!!

-I just can't believe Tom is one of them now. He sure is being pulled in two directions: Cassie and the book need him to take Promicin and now the bad people of the future are going to use him as a vessel. Wonder how Tom will be saved from this one?

-Great acting, great directing, great dialogue, great general direction!

-Look forward to another amazing episode next week [considering I didn't see the trailer or read spoilers but seeing as how season 4 has been a fun ride so far, I only expect great things in future episodes!]

Try the Pie (4.5)

(Written July 15th)

7:05
- All ready loving the opener!
-Glad to see Cassie back. She has become one of my favorite new characters.
-Poor Maia: when she told Diana the dream, I was in near tears. Nice of her to show her mom the pictures. I always love when her journals come into play. They are like a character too.
-And her dream was scary!
-Great symbolism: those P bracelets made me think of Hitler and what he did to the Jews by forcing the Jewish stars on them
-Wishing Tom had told Di that Kyle was Promicin Positive
-OMG, Cassie lead Kyle & Isabel to Jordan Collier! I wonder what Collier will do to them?
-Look forward to more!

7:18
-Okay what is going on in that town?
-Do they get an ability by eating that pie?
-I'm starting to think that Maia's nightmares are the future: the one Collier talked about: how there was a walled city and only certain people were let in. Can it be that the only people being let in are 4400s and P Positives and that the walled city is actually a prison?
-Poor Diana: the theory room guys are not really at her side. She wants to try to stop Maia's nightmares but they want her to have more so they can be analyzed.

7:28
-Wow, the entire town took Promicin! I'm surprised no one died from the shot (that we know of anyway)
-I'm loving these Kyle/Jordan moments
-Maia drinking one of those heavy sports drinks to stay awake- guess she is grown up, isn't she. And not just in that aspect but in other ways as well; like she said, she is no longer a little kid anymore. Where have the years gone?!
-Nasty burn on Tom's hand! Ouch!
-Wonder what Collier will do with Tom?

7:41
-Great Diana/Shawn moment. I'm glad she told him about Maia's dreams. We rarely get moments of the two of them together. It would be fun if Maia actually went in to tell him though. We only had a couple of Patrick/Conchita moments and that was back in season 2! I would really like if they had a couple more scenes together.
-So there is promicin in the pie! I think that's really cool. To be able to share one mind like that to help bring people closer together.
-Ha, Tom as a little kid! That was great.
-And I loved the "Anxiety Extractor" ability. Definately could come in handy. And I have to comment on the rock (since I'm a rock collector). Really loved that one.
-Tom and Kyle finally meet again after Tom took those little "tests". Awesome!

7:50
-OMG! I cannot believe that Kyle forced Promicin on his own father! I just did not believe he was capable of betraying him like that. And then to just stand by and watch.
-It was sad to see the tear in his eye.
-Ha, Shawn said exactly my thoughts on Hewitt about him turning into a grown Hitler
-Glad to see more of Heather Tobey. She has always been very cool.
-Tom can't die from the shot, there is no way! He's needed too much.
-Man I am loving this episode!

8:00
-I got scared for a moment: they used a sedative on Tom instead of the actual Promicin as a way for them to escape. Glad to see Kyle couldn't go through with it- I just knew he really would be able to.
-When Shawn confronted Hewitt, for a second I thought Shawn was going to use his ability and kill him
-I loved what Collier did with the town: turning into a practice ground for the future utopia (should it ever exist)

End Notes
-Overall I thought this episode rocked! It played out so well.
-Some great interractions: Tom & Collier, Kyle & Collier
-And that Utopia town was cool. A little freaky but cool
-The only thing I hope for is that Collier turns his revolution into some kind of religion and not a cult
-I am rating this episode a 10+
-Season 4, I think you just might out do my favorite season (3)
-Look forward to more great episodes!

The Truth & Nothing But the Truth (4.4)

(written July 8th)

7:05

-Wahoo, April is back! What happened to her grungy tattoo artist looks? Regardless, she looked great (and evil and freaky) !

-A truth ability, how sweet! That's one that I've always wanted to have.

-And Kyle helping Isabelle?! What the heck is up with that?! I can't wait for more of them together though.

-Di finally found April. Things should get interesting, especially with April's ability.

7:19

-Oh man, this episode rocks!

-NTAC questioning if Kyle was the one to give Shawn the extra Promicin boost. That can only mean bad news, especially once Washington gets involved.

-Kyle lying to his father about it, I don't know, I think he's put himself in a bind. Glad to see the guilty look on his face though once he stepped outside.

-Ben shaved his beard. I guess I can get used to that. I don't blame him for pressuring Diana though. He just wants her to be happy like she was when they were in Spain.

-I'm glad that Di is hesitant though. I think she finally realizes how much she missed her job (and Tom) and she doesn't want to leave.

-Didn't expect Collin to get shot. If anything I thought he would steal all of the stuff April bought and leave her hanging dry.

7:27

-So that was the favor Tom asked of Marco: to test the hair sample and see if it was positive for Promicin. Still can't believe Tom did that to Kyle. He's gonna freak (they both will: Tom for finding out the truth about his son & Kyle for finding out his father knows)

-And I still can't believe the Senator wants Shawn to run for city council. It's so good because as Kyle said, it will put the 4400 on the map. The downside is that the Senator wants Shawn on it so he can go against Collier.

-Glad Diana confided in Tom about April. She needed to get it off her chest. And once again, another great example of how much their friendship has grown.

7:39

-I am confused about Isabelle onces again (I was confused about her in season 3 and now again in season 4.) This is fun! I like being confused because it makes the show even better. They give us choices and they don't decide for us.

-Shawn Farrell vs. Jordan Collier. Things are sure going to get interesting.

-I can't believe people in the Pentagon have a lot to do with the black mailing. Sure does put that age old question back into play: Can we trust our government? (the obvious answer being no)

-Definately a great episode so far!

-And I love the pairing up with Tom, Diana, and April and how they've become an investigative team to find out the truth about what happened to Collin.

7:48

-Man this is awesome!

-Kyle & Shawn had a blow out, how sweet! I do see things from Kyle's point of view though: Shawn is a traitor. I support the 4400 and the Promicin Positives so I do not agree with what Shawn is doing. And Kyle is right because Shawn is a traitor to Collier and to himself. Shawn is a 4400 and he's pretty much going against the whole thing! He so did not deserve to be taken.
-Shawn may not be under Collier's control but now he's under the control of the Senator and he can't even see that.

-I do admit I like where Shawn's storyline is going though. It's very interesting and a nice way to go (despite not even knowing where the writers are taking this).

-Poor April, having to be taken in by NTAC after getting a confession out of the guy. At least she didn't seem angry at Diana.

8:00

-Okay I absolutely loved Diana's little blow out to Tom and Doyle! It was so hilarious as to how she was ranting on and on and not letting Doyle get a word in until finally Diana stopped her ranting and Doyle told Di that they would be hiring April instead of having her go to prison.

-How cool is it that April has a job at NTAC now?! I thought that was really an awesome deal. She will have a job as well as use her ability. She's got her own personal body guards, a decent salary, health benefits, and a seperate salary for clothes. I'm glad that April is now happy and has something good going on in her life.

-I was sad for Diana and Ben. I really hope Maia's vision comes true and they get married but now I'm starting to have doubts. Which I guess now is okay since I squealed so badly during the scene where April asked Tom if he had ever had sexual fantasies about Diana. (my Tom & Diana shipperness shows!) And the look on Di's face was priceless!

-I can't believe Isabelle was able to translate the book. At least now we know that it wasn't future humans who wrote it.

-Tom is supposed to take the shot! I couldn't believe it! He can't die right? Please I hope not.
-And the father: who could that really be? God? or something else?

End Notes

-I am rating this episode a 10+ ! It really deserves it!

-Jacqui and Natasha work great along side each other.

-And Natasha's acting was incredible. I've liked her since she was first brought on and her acting skills were great but tonight her acting just completely blew me out of the water!

-Way to go to the other actors as well. Everyone did a tremendous job!

- And to Scott Peters: Without you and your brilliant mind, I would probably watching something boring at 7 pm on my Sunday nights. Congrats and beyond terrific job in directing tonight's episode. It was truly an amazing ride!

-I look forward to more of "The 4400" to come!
