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!

Audrey Parker has Come & Gone

(written July 1st, 2007)

7:05
-Sweet little opening. I like Ms. parker, she seems like a kind and gentle elderly lady.

-Sad that she lived her life alone (then again, it's a life I picture myself living so...)

-Astral projection, must be nice to get the chance to live life twice, especially since she's back to being young again.

-Smart that she is posting her blog and whenever it gets shut down she posts it up again. Goes to show she will not be supressed.

-Not certain about Doyle though since she wants Parker to be stopped even though she's harmless.

-Fun to see Diana's attitude and going against Doyle. It's a side we never really got to see much of in previous seasons, so I'm liking this other side of her. You know she had a happy life in Spain and now she's had to come back to Seattle and look for April. I can understand why she's irrated on being back so I don't blame her attitude at all. Afterall, she is only being human- I'm sure each of us can relate one way or another.

7:19
-Enjoying the episode.

-I think I'm starting to like Doyle a little more for some reason. Guess she's growing on me.

-That was good of Tom to stay and let her talk about her father. The after hours part, not so sure about.

-Knew Doyle would want Shawn to heal her father but it makes sense since he has been that way for ten years. Sad that DC said no (go figure).

-Great for Shawn to recruit Heather Tobey. It was so great to see her again. I've always liked her.

-Hope he gets the Center open.

-Ben & Maia are back!!! Yae!!! I was so thrilled for their return, I thought it wouldn't be for another few episodes, glad it was sooner. Nice of them to surprise Diana. Very sweet of the both of them to check in on Maia as she was sleeping- I was reminded of how much I love their relationship (Ben & Diana's and Diana & Maia's).

-Aw how sad, Ms. Parker died. I bet it was the art manager that killed her.

-Gosh Kyle, a $100 dollar donation, a little much. Then again he did just steal the book. I'm glad though I was dying to know what else was in there.

7:30
-Sweet, Audrey is communicating from the dead!

-Good thing Ben saved the message (see he did something right!)

-Shawn is really crossing some lines by wanting to re-open the Center and with Heather by his side. He's doing a great job though, proving to the world that they will not be silenced. I can only imagine what Jordan Collier will do once he finds out about Shawn's return. Don't really think Shawn is going to be wanting to get into bed with Collier any time soon (so to speak).

-I'm surprised Audrey is hauting Diana and not TOm since they were working on the case together.

-Way to go Marco for doing his geek thing in cracking through the static from the phone messages.

7:39
-I like this episode. It's starting to slow down a bit but it's good.

-Head of NTAC going to meet Shawn personally, I'm impressed. Something Jarvis never did, granted Doyle has a personal motive but still.

-Smart move on Shawn's part to ask Doyle what her personal position was. I really wish she had answered but it was also good of her to not answer since she needs to trust him first.

-I like that Audrey is hanging around Diana; like when she was interrogating Wilson and the machine went haywire.

7:48
-OMG! Lucas killed Ms. Parker- I never even thought of considering him, he totally slipped passed my radar.

-Kyle better meet Cassie at 2 a.m. I don't want her to go away. I wonder what's going to happen at the location she mentioned?

-Shawn got arrested, I knew that was coming since he was taking a big risk by trying to heal people.

-Look forward to the rest of the episode.

8:00
-What an awesome ending!

-Way to go Tom for saving Shawn's skin- must be nice to flash that NTAC badge around.

-OMG! Isabelle has escaped custody and Kyle was the one that caught her! I cannot believe that just happened. I actually screamed outloud and had to cover my mouth so I could hear what was going on.

-Heather Tobey in Shawn's office, that's a nice change.

-Aw how sweet of Diana & Ben to be dancing in the kitchen and listening to Audrey Parker's favorite song. I thought that moment between them was sweet. I will admit I was half expecting Maia to come into the room and give another of her one of her visions. (Why did I have to think of the season 2 ender with Diana and Marco? Bad me!)

Favorite Quotes
-"I'll go put on the riot gear. Tom get the tear gas."- Diana

-"Well at least you're an educated tyrant."- Audrey Parker

-"In the mean time, we're trying to be a family and families don't live on seperate continents."- Ben

-"Now I'm sorry, it's time to let this go."- Tom to Diana

-"His name's Donald, he's my father. I'd be grateful if you could help him."- Megahan Doyle

-"I all ready know what she's saying: she's saying goodbye."- Diana

End Notes
-One other thing: Cassie is Kyle's ability but I just thought she was apart of him like his subconcious or something. How did she know about that acr accident at 2 a.m. and how did she know Isabelle Tyler would be in the van? Just what exactly would you call Kyle's ability anyway?

-I was going to rate this episode a 9 flat but after the ending, it's made it's way up to a 10.

-When they said season 4 was going to be one of the best yet, they sure meant it!

-Way to go to the writers, the cast, and the rest of the crew of "The 4400". I look forward to next week!

Fear Itself (4.02)

7:05

-Excellent opener! I wouldn't want my fears to have me in an imaginary way like that.
-Man those clowns were very creepy! Good to see the writers and crw still have some scare tactics up their sleeves.
-Oh man, excellent moment when Diana showed up at Tom's doorstep. They had such great chemistry at the home scene. It's so fun to see their friendship grow and to see how much it's flourished in the past years since we met them back in 2004.
-Tom, what is he thinking: commiting suicide to get Alana back! He's either desperate or insaine.
-It's great of Tom to want to help Diana find April and for Di to have asked about Alana.
-Wonder what Doyle will think now that Diana is back?

7:17

-Oh man this is great!
-Shawn with the stubble looked hot!!!
-Man how cool was it that Tom stood up for Diana and told Doyle the same thing Diana said to her. Flashback to season 2: when Diana helped Tom get reinstated and Jarvis said the report was pretty much the same thing the guys in the Theory room.
-Glad Doyle brought Di back though. Looking forward to seeing her back on the job.
-Good to see Shawn with his family. Man, Danny sure has grown! Law school, hu?! That's cool of him. He should go instead of taking Promicin.

7:28

-Finally we know Garrity's name: Jed!
-An autistic kid with an ability. Sure the father was trying to help but still- bad idea. No one knows what ability you can get. It sure didn't cure the boy.
-Kyle's ability is revealed! It is Cassie. She has to be since the footage paned out to reveal Kyle talking to himself.
-Poor Garrity- he's going mad due to his interaction with the kid. Fear of teeth and hair being pulled out: freaky!
-I want more!

7:38

-I love this episode!
-What the heck: Isabelle's blood and her Promicin was drawn and then put together it turned black: Why?
-And what is with that creepy man who went to see Isabelle and made her sign the consent form? He's either a good person from the future or a bad one. I can't really tell yet (if he's a person from the future at all)
-Very happy to see Diana and Tom working together again.
-Other than the Jordan Collier resemblence in the book, I'm looking forward to seeing what else is in it.
-Ew, snakes! Not so creepy but creepy enough.
-I feel bad for the kid's father. All he wanted was for his son to be normal- he wanted to help him but unfortunately things didn't work out that way. How sad.

7:48

-Have I mentioned how much I love this episode?
-It was very cool of Shawn to get Danny the Promicin shot despite his personal views on it. I just hope Danny doesn't die. If he does Shawn might not forgive himself.
-And now I'm curious as to what will happen to the whole Jordan and Shawn bit. Shawn is totally against it so who knows where his life will take him. It is interesting to see Shawn's transformations though: once he was a confused teenager, he then found Jordan Collier who soon felt like a father figure to him, 'Daddy' comes back and Shawn is okay with that, but now that Promicin has been introduced to the world, Shawn is no longer on Collier's side (so it seems).
-Okay the whole prophesy thing: Very cool! A messiah coming back from the dead and giving an elixer to heal the world (Jordan). The healer (Shawn). And Kyle as a Shaman?! Did not expect that destiny for Kyle (if it's even true).
-Loved the part when Diana and Tom brought out the boy; Tom carrying the boy in his arms despite the kid being sidated. That moment seemed so iconic for some reason.

8:00

-Okay Isabelle has a permanent allergy to Promicin?! Now that is cool (if the guy is telling the truth).
-Way to go Shawn for healing the kid. It was so great to hear his voice.
-Was it me or was Doyle hitting on Tom at the museum?
-And why do I think Doyle will use Shawn heal her father?
-Kyle without a t-shirt! One word: YUMMY.
-It was all ready clear but it was great of Cassie to introduce herself as Kyle's ability. Loved how Kyle was freaking out about it. And how his father noticed the strange looks Kyle was starting to get as he started figuring things out (or rather as his ability pointed out.)
-One thing's for certain: I am definately going to love having Cassie around.

End Notes

-Okay so this is one of the best season 4 episodes, despite it only being the second one. I can't tell you how much I loved it. The lighting, the camera angles, and especially all of the acting: it was just incredible. Still not sure if I like Doyle yet but time will tell.
-Definately going to be rating this episode on my scale as a 10+. It definately deserves it!

The Wrath of Graham (4.01)

7:05
-Very cool opener. Didn't know it was Collier dreaming until things turned dark. Very cool dream though. Tom had Richard's telecinesis ability and Diana could stop time by snapping her fingers. Aw, Ben cut his facial hair- that will take some getting used to. Very cool to see all of them together though (Shawn, Isabelle, Kyle, Garridy, Marco, Tom, Diana and her family.)
-And Collier dreamed Isabelle was there too- guess on some level he still wishes to have hope for her, even if it's on a subconcious level
- 6,000 to reach death toll by end of the year from taking Promicin- Dang!

7:21
-Okay this is a lot to process Diana got offered a new job in the EU. No gun- I'd be kind of afraid not to carry one (I guess because I've gotten so used to seeing Di carrying one as part of her job)
-Okay good, in actuality Ben did not cut the facial hair. It was only his head hair that he cut short. I like it.
-Maia has grown! She even sounds different too.
-Cute for Maia to cover her eyes when her mom kissed Ben. Typical adolescent behavior.
-Kyle's back, wahoo! I take it he hasn't told Tom he took Promicin by the guilt look on his face.
-Like the Graham Holt character
-And Tess' schyzophrenia is back. Bummer

7:30
-I knew Di couldn't take the job. She just had to come back to Seattle
-I liked how Di answered the phone, "Hola". I thought the way she said it was cute (I'm Hispanic and Jacqui said the word much better than I did.
-It was very sweet of Marco to call & tell Diana about April. Devistating news for Di for sure. Still to early to take a guilt trip though
-This Graham kid is crazy. He's got pretty much the whole school following him. That can't be good. Hope NTAC finds some way of stopping him. I can only imagine what would happen if he looks at things bigger than the school.
-I'm dying to know what Isabelle knows about Alana!
-Is Isabelle the one playing Tom or is the future playing him?

7:40
-Okay what is with that girl Kyle met? What does she know? And how did she know using Promicin might work on Shawn? That interesting though, how the Promicin has really become apart of the 4400- almost like an extra blood supply. They can't function without it.
-I feel so bad for Maia. She was so comfortable and happy in Spain and once again the world for the Skouris family is being rocked. If Di (and Maia) do go back to Seattle, does this mean things are over with Ben? I really hope not!!! I like Ben. And seeing the three of them in Spain made me really happy.
-Graham sure has learned to control his ability quickly. And now he's got the soldiers on his side. That can only end badly.

7:50
-Way to go Kyle! Nice save on Shawn. Hey, Shawn looks hotter this season. Like how he changed his hair color.
-Looks like Jordan has some cleaning up to do in Seattle. Wonder how he'll get out of it after it's over now that Tess is gone.
-Graham is crazy. The King of Seattle?! And then converting some police statioins so they can arrest people & bring them in to join his cause. This kid has it all thought out doesn't he?

8:00
-OMG! The future sent Alana back to 1885! What were they thinking? And it seems Isabelle wasn't playing Tom (which is a good thing- I hope)
-The last few minutes were amazing.
-Okay so Collier can take promicin out of the "extra crispies" (As Marco called the Promicin takers). I wonder what other abilities Collier has, this can't be his only one.
-So Diana is back in Seattle, guess she's not too happy about that. And I take it Maia stayed in Spain with Ben since she didn't show up with her mom. That was nice of Di to let her stay with him. Maia needs that extra normalcy even though Diana was pretty much forced back. It's good to see that Diana trusts Ben enough to leave her daughter with him.
-Good to see Diana has her old apartment back. I was afraid someone might've rented it out.

End Notes
Overall this was a great Season 4 opener! Glad that "The 4400" is back for another summer. And I look forward to next Sunday's episode. Scale of 1-10, I rate it a 9.5[/spoiler]

Spoiler WARNING!!!!

For all of you who have read my blog, you know what it's about. I write out my thoughts and feelings during the commercial breaks during each episode.

This is a warning to all because from here on end I will be posting my reviews on season 4. A lot of the stuff is detailed and a lot of things will be given away.

Read these next posts at your own risk.

Let the Fun Begin!

It's some times hard for me to believe that four years have gone by. Sometimes I catch myself thinking that I will get those four years back but I know I won't. A lot has happened to me in these four years. I went to high school and I graduated. I am no longer a high school student. There have been many bumps, twists and turns, and other things in my life roller coaster but there is one thing that has remained a constant and that is: The 4400.

For some odd reason I still get amazed that "The 4400" began the summer of me entering high school and that it continues the summer of my senior year. I've tried to find out why I get so fascinated by that but I have no answer.

I have been a dedicated fan from the beginning and I now look forward to a new season. I was watching the season finale of season 1, "White Light", last night and I couldn't help but smile at it. Mostly because of how young I was when I started watching it and then by watching the actors performances as well. Conchita Campbell (Maia) was 8 years old when it began and here we are 3 years later and she's all ready 11. And you could tell how young the other actors were as well (Jacqui, Joel, Patrick, Chad). Life truly is a funny concept. I know, it's life, we're supposed to grow up and all of that but I still find it so strange, so fascinating.

There is less than 12 hours left till the season 4 premiere. More changes and more growths. I even listened to my 4400 Soundtrack as I went to sleep last night.

I am so ready! I've been ready since the end of season 3, I just never thought the year would go by as fast as it did. Yet again, here we are- about to get ready for the continuation of a journey that was introduced to us three years ago back in 2004.

Let the Fun Begin!

Fifty-Fifty

(8.27.06)

7:03-Nice beginning.I was in tears when Tom and Alana were looking at pictures of him and Kyle.Should've guessed Devon would be one to sign up and take those Promicin injections. Should be an interesting episode.

7:16-Oh man! Intense!First Diana taking Maia out of school and then arguing. I was surprised when Maia said a curse word!Glad to see Ben back! Going to Spain for six months- I don't want him to do that. I want him to stay.I don't believe it, Devon died!!! Oh man I just couldn't believe it. As much as I'd want to take Promicin, now I'm not so sure anymore. Would I really want to put my life on the line like that?

7:20-Oh my gosh! Not good, not good.Isabelle is interrogating Shawn! I can't believe it.Loved how Richard used his ability on some of the Promicin and then Tess turned around and used her ability against him. Poor Richard. Collier isn't going to let him go that easy.I do feel bad that April is suffering but I"m still happy for Diana. On a strange side, it was kind of sweet that April gave back their mom's engagement ring.Feel bad for the way things are going for Diana and Maia.

7:39-This is incredible!Ha, ha, Isabelle underestimated Collier! Impressive- fake promicin! Boyd really does have guts for sacrificing himself like that.Uh oh, Maia is in trouble when her mom finds out she went to school. Loved that tap she did with Amy.Cool little fight at NTAC with the soldiers and Tom. Poor Shawn, he had his ability used against him. Glad Alana knew about the syringe.

7:50-Ahh! This episode rocks!Way to go Maia for standing up to Isabelle, although I was worried for Maia. Now I'm sure she'll be on Isabelle's "to get" list.And it's Mommy & NTAC to the rescue, sweet!Tom and Diana really got beat- they sure have their work cut out for them.Nice timing on Richards part. Glad he didn't wimp out and went ahead with using his ability to inject Isabelle with the syringe.It took away her abilities, sweet.Ah, commerical break just as Tom fired! Can't hold the anticipation!

8:00-Oh man, what a great ending!Loved how Tom and Diana walked hand in hand to the car. Didn't have any T/D shipper thoughts this time. Guess I've come to accept that they will just be very close best friends and nothing more. I'm okay with that now, better late than never to realize that hu.Okay now I so much as don't mind that Diana, Maia & Ben are going to be gone for six months. I counted and by the time they return from their trip it will be February which is the time they start filming! Yae!Sweet moment when Tom was by Shawn's bedside. Sad memories: back to when Tom would sit with Kyle like that.I can't believe it, Kyle took Promicin!And April too- wow, didn't expect that one coming!Oh my gosh- the future took Alana back!!! No!!!!!!!!!Loved how Burkoff mentioned my hometown at the end!Oh and then way to close the show- with that guy trying to pursuade us viewers to take Promcin. Nice touch on that!I especially loved Collier's narrative at the end.The cast and crew of "The 4400" did a heck of a job this season. The finale episode was beyond incredible. Way to go!So on my grand scale of 1-10, the episode definately desrves a 10+++!

And that wraps it up for season 3!

Can't wait for season 4 in theSummer of '07!!!

The Terrible Swift Sword

(8.20.06)

7:05-Loved the opener!Aw, Diana & Ben were on another date at the theater!Glad to see Tom's family back together.Tess & Burkhoff are back, sweet!Oh man and all the stuff Collier was talkng about... I don't know what to make of it. .I wonder who let out all of those NOVA Group members. I can't picture it to be Collier for some reason. The Nova Group must be working on the evil side, I can't imagine them on the side of good.

7:18-Ah, Love everything that's going on.Kyle is very hot!!! Glad him and Alana are back.Oh man now on some level I'm starting to feel bad for Aprile & that Diana is lying to her. Although it is funny seeing April like this (still sulking and hoping Ben calls her.)Loved the Diana & Maia scene in Maia's room. Funny how Maia had to just get away from her aunt April since all she was talking about was Ben since she got home. And this scene was pretty length which was great. We hadn't had a lengthy Diana & Maia moment in a little while. I love seeing Maia play video games. I sometimes forget she was taken in 1946.And then the whole thing with Isabelle!

7:30-Loving it! Loving it!More Di & Ben moments!!! Two weeks and all ready they have fallen in love! I was caught off guard when they were in bed together.Enjoyed the Kyle & Collier moment. Whne they hugged it seemed like a new bond had been formed. Much different when Collier never wanted Kyle around.Isabel, that evil... I can't believe all this. And Collier's plan! To get rid of the base and neutralize the army before they develop abilities- he's crazy!Can't wait for more!

7:42-This is crazy. I wanted to cry during the Diana & April scene when April was sitting in Di's closet. Maia just did what she had to do.Kyle, oh man, now he's working /c Collier. I don't want him getting brainwashed! Then again Kyle has always felt close to the 4400 so I guess I can't blame him. I just hope Kyle knows what he's doing.Poor Shawn- he is so confused. Was surprised when he confessed to Tom & Diana about Collier. That can only mean bad news for him.

7:51-Ah, I don't know who to believe! Ryland or Collier? I'm so confused. But I guess that's a good thing.I wonder what role Burkhoff and Tess will play in all of this?Oh man and then that shapeshifter as Ryland- sweet! Loved how the survalance camera was able to catch him in his natural form. Although I don't think Ryland himself has much of a problem since he's got Isabelle.I feel bad for Shawn. He's being treated the same way he used to be by Collier. And for Collier to test Shawn like that, I can't believe I fell for it!

8:00-Ah!!! I cannot believe Collier! They're going to give all that Promicin away to anyone and everyone. What is this lunatic thinking?!Aw, Kyle is leaving, I don't want him to go.Another Di & Ben moment, I don't want him to leave either. Granted it's only five days in London but still. I like him.Loved what Ben said to Diana: "Even if Maia never made a prediction, I still think we're meant for each other". I thought that was very sweet. I don't mind having him around (granted I never minded since the beginning.)Guess I really should be all that surprised that the cast and crew pulled it off yet again. Every episode this season has been beyond incredible! On my scale I give it a 10+ and beyond!Look forward to the season finale!!!

The Gospel According to Collier

(8.13.06)

10:05-Oh man! Intense opener! Everyone is back by the looks of it (the recap of collier, Kyle, Alana & April!) Oh man, Kyle looks very hot!!! (sorry Shawn!)I'm worried about Isabelle- what she'll do if she doesn't get her way.Loved how Shawn decided to go /c Tom & Diana. Can't wait for more.

10:15-Wow! Right when Diana gave those goo-goo eyes to April's boyfriend [Ben], I knew that something would happen. And then Maia told her that she would be getting married to him- I couldn't believe it!!! And I loved the way Conchita said this line: "Isn't that great? You're going to have a husband and I'm going to have a dad." The way she said it was so pure and innocent.Loved seeing Shawn in the theory room. That was something we'd never seen before. Cool to see those old safe houses again from season 1. Ah, the memories.Oh man & that mural of Collier! It's like he's the Mesiah or something."The war of the future will be fought in the past." Definately a great line and riddle. This could mean a number of things. One thought is that maybe the beginning of the catastrophe will have to start much sooner.

10:25-Oh man! Loved the Diana & Maia interaction. And the moments between Diana & Ben were great as well.Ha, Marco said that one of the murals of Collier was in my hometown! [Way to go! I love the show even more now!] Those future people must've really messed up Collier big time for him not to remember who he is. Loved how he just picked out a name from a library card.Loved Kyle's reaction when he saw Collier. And Isabelle, for her to remember those baby moments and what she did to Collier- sweet!Can't wait for more!

10:31-This just keeps getting better and better.Really wished Diana y Ben had kissed in his hotel room.Alana came back!!! I missed her so much. Glad Jarvis let Tom call her.Oh man, & Collier knows what the catastrophe is! Could it get any better?! OMG! OMG! He also knows what the 4400 must do to prevent it! OMG! OMG!

10:48-Ah! Loved the Di & Ben moments at the grocery store. Perfect song to use, "Life for Rent" by Dido. Good Collier moments.Alana!Oh and Di & Ben kissed! Yae, although I was hoping Diana would've kissed him again at the store but oh well things got better!

11:00-Woww! Okay didn't recognize Diana for a minute at the art gallery. Loved the kiss though! April is going to freak when she finds out.Loved how Diana said she was just at work. And hey, was that a smirk on Maia's face!Aw, loved the reuniting between Tom & Kyle.And the moments between Isabelle and Collier, intense! About how Isabelle is the enemy and by staying at the 4400 Center puts everyone at risk. I guess that means that Collier is against the wedding then.When Collier told Isabelle to leave and never return, I found it to be a little "Lion King"-ish. You know when Simba tells off his uncle Scar to leave. But hey, it worked.At the beginning when Collier was introduced, I didn't trust him but now I think I'm beginning to. Can't tell who to trust anymore (other than our friendly NTAC agents and precog.)The crew of the 4400 has done it again. On my grading scale this definately ranks a 10+. This season has totally rocked!

The Starzl Mutation

(8.6.06)

7:05-Nice opener. I hope Shawn smokes that cigar (granted smoking is bad but right now that seems to be the least of the problems.) I really want Shawn to see his future. And that body that was found- gross! Wonder if the guy that killed him could've been one of Ryland's minions or a bad future human?

7:15-I'm liking it. Ah Tom asked Diana out on a date! Granted he said it wasn't a date but who's he trying to kid. LOL! Loved the look on Di's face when Tom asked if she was doing anything on Sunday. Glad Shawn smoked the cigar. Isabelle that stupid-ah! She is using him for evil reasons. Cool to see Marco without his glasses. He looks hot without them. I knew it, Rylands goons are involved. US military- Ryland just won't quit will he.

7:30-"Excellent question, if you find out tell me," loved that line by Marco. Another future vision. So the catastrophe did happen b/c Shawn didn't marry Isabelle. That doesn't make sense, then why kill Richard? Unless Richard disapproved or something. Can't believe Tom died! I yelled and screamed! Sweet moment between Diana & Marco. Nice of him to ask about Maia and Diana telling him that Maia asks about him a lot. Nice anatomy lesson on the Starzl mutation. Argh Ryland!!!

7:40-Now I'm worried for Tom & Diana if they get in the way of that guy again. Poor Shawn. He has two futures right infront of him and doesn't know what to dco. Good to see that when it comes down to work there's no awkward tension between M/D

7:50-Oh man! Okay so Richard is the one that started the war. & the reason why the 4400 were sent back to Seattle is b/c that's the only place where they can reproduce:4400 + Starzl Mutation= Promicin +4400 + Normal= Promicin -Well Ryalnd seems to be loosing at just about everything hu? Tom & Diana do a good job trapping him all the time. Hope that guy doesn't kill Tom.

8:00-Oh man!!!! Crazy ending! Glad Tom made it out okay. Ryland may have won this round but NTAC will be on the ball again, they have to be. I know Collier would be back but I didn't expect to be as thrilled about it as I was! I can't believe Ryland- he said their's no difference between the general public and the 4400. He really hates them doesn't he. Hope NTAC finds out it's that evil "Bridzilla" that's giving Ryland the Promicin.Another great job to the cast & crew of the 4400!!!!!Scale of 1-10 definately deserves a 10+ on my scale!!!!!Way to go!!!!!

The Ballad of Kevin & Tess

(7.30.06)

7:05-Oh man poor Burkhoff!!! He seriously needs to lay off the Promicin. Good to have him back though. I was missing him.Glad to see Miss Tobey again, she is slowly becoming one of my favorites even though I all ready liked her before. Liked her interaction with Richard.

7:20-Wow, so much is going on! Shawn looked very hot! Really good to see Tess again also. She looks pretty good compared to last time when she was in the psych ward.Very happy to see some Diana/Maia interaction.OMG! I trusted Kevin! Now he's turning DIana into some kind of zombie so he can give her an ability against her will! Burkhoff still hasn't gotten precise results yet- he's using her like a lab rat!

7:30-Oh man, this is good. I had forgotten how Shawn looked in "regular" clothes instead of those suits. Very hot! Especially the shirt that showed his pack!Poor Diana- gross how her finger nail fell off like that.It's clear that she and Marco are no longer together since there was that awkwardness at Burkhoff's apartment.What is Kevin turning Diana into? Whatever it is, it sure isn't good (or is it?)

7:40-Okay. Not much happened in these ten minutes but still good.So Shawn has acknowledged that he's getting married- poor him- having to do Isabelle's will.Okay so what is it that Tess is doing exactly? Can't figure it out yet. It seems like some kind of mind control or the like. I hope Diana gets better though, it's sad seeing her this way.

7:50-Oh man, oh man. Tess now controlled all of the NTAC agents. I can't believe she & Kevin are going to walk on through! Amazing ability though.Good going on Shawn's part for taking responsibility. He could've left it all behind but he didn't. I think on some level he still wants to live up to Collier's expectations.Now hopefully Diana will get better.

8:00-Oh man, oh man, oh man!!! What an intense ending!Glad to see that Kevin's face is back to normal (even though NTAC will still be looking for the beast version of him.)Sweet of Marco to ask Tom if Diana was okay.Aw, a little love happening between Kevin & Tess.Oh man, enough Promicin extraction from Isabelle to last 2 years! What the heck is Ryland doing?On another note: I feel so bad for Diana. She has suffered through so much this year and now it looks like she might end up developing some kind of 4400 ability unless NTAC can find a way to reverse the symptoms and side effects.One heck of an episode!!!!Scale of 1-10, I rate it the 10+ it deserves!!!

Blink

(7.23.06)

7:05-Oh man I all ready like this episode! A 4400 who uses promicine in drugs, that's cool, I mean different. Aw, I wanted to tear up when Tom was getting Alana's mail. I miss her!Tom & Diana are infected /c "blink"- things should get interesting.

7:20-Okay this is getting good. Poor Tom, just when you think things can't get any worse for him, his father turns out to be a drunk and never around. Diana used to be engaged to a guy named Josh- wow! I wonder what the argument was about that made her call it off? Uh-oh, I sense some bad news for Diana & Marco. Seems like she's pushing him away. Which is understanable since she needs to get things sorted out.

7:30-Okay I wasn't expected that- for a 4400 to be a near elderly woman who created the drug, pretty much by accident.Ahh!!! Isabelle purposed to Shawn. I was screaming!!! I am just so shocked. And now that Isabelle has gotten to know Mrs. Farrell, it makes me worry for her safety should something go wrong. Isabelle just won't let up will she.

7:40-Okay low blow- Josh cheated on Diana two weeks before the wedding. Guess she really hasn't gotten over it. Maybe an explanation as to why she was a little cold in season one.Okay now I feel sorry for Isabelle (as strange as that sounds.) She feels that Shawn will be the only one to control her from doing those bad things. I feel sorry but I don't like her methods. However, I do give her the benefit of the doubt since she's desperate. But still thats' no excuse.

7:50-Very cool episode.Aw, no more Diana & Marco I guess. Diana just sees Marco as a safety net. Josh really scarred her. For Di to be afraid of getting serious with a guy. Josh described it perfectly though, "the sweet guy who would do anything for you". Which is basically how we've all come to know [and love] Marco.Poor Tom. He felt it better if his father died without seeing him. However, it was Tom who was afraid to see his father since they wouldn't get the chance to patch up their relationship.

8:00-D**n it! Isabelle didn't die! I kind of knew she wouldn't though. When she opened her eyes and saw Shawn standing over her, I just thought to myself, "great Shawn, now you've done it! You've woken the beast and made her angry." I was hoping to have seen the talk with Diana and Marco. Oh well (that would make for some good fanfic.)Scale of 1-10, this episode definately gets a +10 (and hey, Maia was in the episode, even if it was only for a short scene.)Way to go cast & crew of the 4400

The Home Front

(7/16/06)

7:05-Okay a nice simple start. Good to see Navaro back. Why do I get the feeling that Isabel might do something to Nikki? Also now I'm started to get bothered with her since it's mainly about sex for that girl.Alana being charged for being associated with Nova?! This should be interesting.

7:15-The episode is okay so far (but it's only been 15 min.) Maybe Alana is working /c Nova afterall since Miss Tobey said she was the only one with a key to her office (other than janitorial.)Ryland just keeps turning out to be a manipulative character. And now he's working /c Isabelle; that's bad.

7:20-This episode is still okay so far. I can't wrap my head around what Alana did. Poor Tom- he trusted her and she betrayed him.Loved him telling Diana about Alana. Another show of how far their partnership has grown.The look Isabelle gave Nikki; it seemed like she wanted to squash her. Well it looks like Ryland won again since Alana confessed to him.

7:40-Okay now this is a cool episode. Loved the chase at the aquarium with Tom & Gary [and Diana]. Now I'm starting to like Isabelle- she just threatened Shawn & Nikki. When she did that, right away I though of Isabelle's ability and how she is able to turn the 4400s' abilities against them and I thought should Shawn go, behind Isabelle's back I guess you could say, then Isabelle would turn Shawn's healing ability against Nikki and kill ehr.Loved what Diana said to Tom, "Tom you saved my daughter, I owe you everything" or something of that nature. And then how she agreed to help him.

7:50-I'm not sure if I should be angry with Tom or feel good about his decision. Saving the woman he loves and literally sentencing a man to death. I get the feeling though that Tom & Diana'a actions are going to bite them in the rear. Guess we have to wait and see later on. And oh, loved how Diana pretty much blackmailed Ryland. Saying how he better not say anything about what happened if he wants to loose his job; loved how Diana played out the scene to Ryland- it did seem pretty choppy.Aw, poor Shawn. Isabelle is reall holding the leash tight on him. Bummed that he had to cancel his plans with Nikki. (gotta kind of love Isabelle though.)

8:00-I hadn't even expected for Tom & Diana to get back and rescue Navaro. Aw man, I didn't expect Alana to leave. I wanted to cry. Scale of 1-10 I would give it a 9 (only because there was no Maia in this episode).
