[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
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.
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.

absolutely.
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.)
Mind-blowingly brilliant Dead Zone vid from the Vividcon: [link] With the exception of Lum's "Scooby Road", I thought that was possibly the best vid of the con. It makes me wish the show were as good as the vid makes it look like.
I haven't watched most episodes this season--one I did watch was godawful (something about John and Sarah tracking down a musician from their youth or something. The coming apocalypse storyline in S2 was genuinely compelling. I wish they'd followed that momentum.
