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

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

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

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
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.)

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
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.

I grew to hate the apocalypse. John was too shrill, and the politician too slickly untouchable.
