I thought that Piller was no longer doing the day to day showrunning. I could've sworn I read that somewhere.

But yes, he's incredibly fan friendly. I think the Dead Zone website is one of the best official sites out there. They have everything you could ever want. You can download shooting scripts! And the show bible!

ETA: I'd look it up on the message boards but the pre-new site threads are all gone.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I watched Dead Zone season one. Lost interest somewhere in the second season, though. It seemed to meander.

I agree with those who find The 4400 less than gripping. I watched one episode - sadly, not Summer Glau's - and felt like I was watching a torrid soap opera with some sci-fi trappings. There was something about a precious little girl getting adopted and some evil corporation, and my attention wandered away to the fridge.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dead Zone is okay -- but ambitious it certainly isn't. Less than The 4400, for sure.

Wasn't there a coming apocalypse in Dead Zone? Did they ever do anything with that, or is it still coming?

It's still lurking.

they kind of dropped the apocalypse for a while and are now working their way back to it.

I think I'll be borrowing those DVDs instead of buying them.

I've been a Dead Zone fan since the start, but it does seem to be treading water this season. Spreading the apocalypse arc over multiple seasons makes for a thin arc by season four.

I continue to be a big AMH fan, though.

Art Crawl!!!

Yeah, they drop in the occasional coming Apocalypse episode, but in the past I've preferred the non-arc DZ episodes better. It does seem to be meandering more than The 4400. (Both shows have their season finales tomorrow night.)
