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).

Graduation Day


(7/9/06)
7:05-Okay good start. Loved Tom's dream about him believing how easy it would be to kill Isabel when in reality it won't be that easy.
7:20-Aye, poor Shawn! When I saw him all bloody like that, I wanted to go and use my medical knowledge to help him. Guess we now know what Maia meant when seh said Shawn would do something but it wouldn't be his fault; he nearly killed Maia! What is Armand doing? I thought this line that Maia said was sad, "Mommy, why would Shawn hurt me?"Oh man, aw Matthew's death was sick! His eyes totally grossed me out. I knew Isabelle was evil from the beginning. Now it's official. Her job is to "kill the 4400". Tom better kill her.I really like that Todd character. Love his ability too- how he can feel things within people and then get fragments of what happened. Really liking Alana in this episode as well.
7:30-Okay it's good. Damn it Richard! He is totally blind! He doesn't want to believe his daughter is evil. Glad that Diana is noticing something off about Isabelle. Okay and that was sick- the animals eating Jane's body. Wonder what Alana plans to do now that shhe's met the man that killed her family.
7:40-Loved this line by Diana, "Either that or Isabelle found another member of the Nova group."Isabelle is turning out to be a very cool villian. As much as I don't like her because shes' evil, I can't help but love her as well. So that's what she does: she turns the 4400 abilities against them. Now that her job is revealed it makes me worry about Maia!Aye, and I can't believe that Isabelle started that fire at the gas station, well technically. I wonder what she will do once she finds out Richard betrayed her? (finding out NTAC traced the call).7:50Well Tom & Diana do officially know Isabelle is up to no good. I shared the same feelings as them when they had to let her walk.When Richard had gone in to talk to Isabelle, for some reason I was hoping Isabelle would kill her father (strange, I know.) I now take it that it was the bad future people that messed with Lily and Richard. Speaking of Lily, I wonder what she would think of Isabelle's actions if she was alive.
8:00-Ah now I don't know what to believe! I'm back to thinking: Is Isabelle evil or is she good? Ah, Tom he should've used the syringe when he had the chance! He was right there in Isabelle's apt. And she was giving him the chance. But then again, it has that Star Wars feel to it (Palpatine gives Luke the chance to strike him down but he decides against it.)I take it Alana caused that guys car accident. My guess is by taking him into one of her fantasy worlds or something. I figured something like that would happen.And Isabelle making an appointment with Ryland?! Didn't see that one coming. That can only mean one thing: Ryland [and Isabelle] are up to no good. Ryland has hated the the 4400 since the beginning afterall. Oh yeah, and loved crazy Shawn! Although I wouldn't want him around since he kills.I really wish Tom would tell Diana about the mission though. This raises the question though: Is Sara an evil future human or is she a good one?

Gone (Pt. 2)


(7/2/06)

7:05- Interesting start. Loved the Diana/Marco moments. They were sweet. And then thought it was cool that Diana set three plates instead of two.- Awesome fantasy that Tom & Alana had. Okay now that no face Maia was weird, in a cool way.

7:15- Okay this epi. is sweet. Started to chuckle when out of know where Diana started to cry. Okay and that collage in Diana's apartment- very creepy. Real nice that Tom checked up on Diana when Jarvis had told him she called in sick.- Oh yeah and that 4400 who can smell pharamones, part of me was hoping he would smell something between Tom & Diana (don't know why.)- Way to go Shawn for being responsible & telling Richard what's been going on between him and Isabelle. And way to go Richard for blowing his top.

7:30- Awesome, awesome, awesome! Very cool how Alana was able to take Diana into a fantasy world- only in this case it ended up being a memory. Loved all of the recap memories between Diana & Maia! Oh and I loved the hug between Diana and Tom; I think it was the first one in the series.- The whole talk between Richard & Isabelle about sex was funny!- Oh this is cool! Strange how Maia died of smallpox when she was 25- terrible blow for Diana. Loved seeing her in desperate need of Alana's help when she arrived at Tom's house.- Interesting to see how Diana isn't willing to let go of the fantasy world.- Loving this Tom/Diana closeness. Very sweet how he placed a kiss on her forehead after he told her that he had to do something and it was almost like a goodbye.- Oh man, Tom was crazy by commiting suicide- well almost. The future must need him badly enough to save his life. Glad those future humans set the kids back into the timeline. Hopefully now Diana will wake up.- Oh man and when Sara was talking about how there was something bad unleashed into this timeline I was surely either thinking it was the Nova Group or Isabelle. And it turns out it is Isabelle! I knew she was evil!

8:00- Wow talk about a great episode! On a scale of 1-10 I definately give it a 10. Poor Tom though since he has to carry the burden and kill Isabelle.- Oh another sweet moment: This one between Tom and Maia. Loved it when Maia ran up to him and hugged him. And then Tom placed a kiss on her head.- The Maia/Diana moment at the end was sweet when she was trying to get her mom to wake up. Glad she did.- And all that stuff with Shawn now- Wow!Another score for the 4400 this week!

Gone (Pt. 1)


(6/25/06)


- Okay so the opening was good. Poor Tom- having to feeel so out of place at that gathering.- Cool. I was able to catch Jacqueline's Aussy accent slip in.-Interesting seeing Maia's sister. Somehow I had a feeling her name would be Sara. Oh man though, I thought I would be okay with Maia's younger sister being her older sister but yet it shocked me.-Okay this episode is sweet! Right when Sara showed up at Amy's house to get Maia, I knew something wasn't right. I am on the edge of my seat (7:20)-Tom's life just seems to be taking wrong turns now. It's understandable as to why he doesn't want Alana working at the Center. He's jealous. How cute!- The scenes with Isabelle were sweet. Love how she has that power over Matthew. Although now I'm starting to worry about Isabelle because now she seem's kind of a baddie- Okay now things are starting to get freaky (7:30) So Sara has a collection of 4400 children. How twisted is this lady? And what is the deal with Matthew? I still can't figure that guy out. Now he wants Richard to be Shawn's equal partner.- I really feel for Diana. She is going through so much right now. It's a good thing she has Marco [and Tom] to support her through it.- Very funny how Marco found out how he was going to die and he fount it to be interesting.- So glad to find out what the "I'll be in the circle with Tyler Downing" meant. (the circle created by Dian's coffee cup.)- Oh man! Oh man! Oh man! Oh Man!!! Talk about a wicked turn. Never was I expected that Sarah was from the future! Oh man! And then seeing that Maia [and the other kids] had actually been taken back to the future (so to speak). And then seeing those butterflies at the front gate that were in Maia's journals was cool.- That water ability that those kids had was so sweet! And draining the water out of the people was a very cool touch (seeing as how humans are 70% water).- The ending; I'm still in denile about that. Those humans miscalculated?! I thought they were supposed to be very far in advance in the future. And Maia is being erased from our time slot, I began to cry when Sara told her what would happen: how Maia would forget her mom, how she would forget Marco and her friends and everything in this life. And then seeing Maia's stuff being erased from our present just made me cry more.-Gotta hand it to the cast and crew of the 4400. They really out did themselves with this episode. Way to go!!!
