Why am I just finding out about this now? How did this news slip by me, AICN?
The 4400 was one of my favorite shows. A smarter version of Heroes with a liberal dose of X-Files.
Hopefully Sci-Fi will do the right thing and pick this show up.
The Alamo Village shows Heroes, Lost and Battlestar Galactica for free on the big screen. Of course, when it came to the season finale, I could not resist the call of this venue and its sweet promise of Losty goodness. Watching the Losties up there on a big screen in a theater packed with die hard fans is an experience not to be missed.
My faith in the show had been shaken earlier this season, what with all the filler and no real answers to anything. But after the finale, I was ready to pronounce it the savior of dramatic television. Though I had guessed the twist almost instantly, the game-changing final scene was up there with the BSG finale. Five seconds after the Bad Robot logo appeared, the internet erupted with speculation. I have heard incredibly smart theories and have cast my lot in with the more ambitious ones, hoping the writers are truly driving the bus out to the fringe.
This wait is going to be more agonizing than the hatch, so I will simply put it from my mind and pretend the show does not exist, a selective amnesia that served me well while waiting for Lord of the Rings to come out.
The season finale of Battlestar Galactica is the best episode ever produced in the series. At times I had to look away from its searing brilliance. It trumps even the shocking finale of Season 2.
Bravo, Ron. I can almost forgive you.
