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?
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.
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.
