A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I've been watching from the start and I sometimes get the feeling they took a sharp left at the end of season 1 and found themselves someplace entirely else, said the hell with it, and ran like hell towards some goal in the misty distance which they seem to have finally reached.
What I read back then was that initially, they were planning on saving the revelation that the 4400 were people abducted by the future and reseeded for much farther down the line, but USA wanted the miniseries to have some closure in case they didn't pick it up for series. So I think your assessment is pretty close. And it's bizarre because I can't imagine the series
without
us knowing about the future and the Catastrophe and whatever.
I do hope they get renewed. It doesn't look like the story's over. Because if it is, I suppose we can only assume that the entire world ends up p-positive. That Jordan Collier wins.
Yay, Eureka day!
And on the menu today? Hot Lunch!

Again, this is what I like about the show -- the underlying ambiguity about Collier's vision. Would it really be paradise on earth -- well, possibly. *If* everyone who is P+ is also a benign, altruistic presence wanting only to make things better. But then again, if we were all benign and altruistic we wouldn't need promycin or abilities to make a better world. And we all know that humans are -- sadly -- not all wonderful and that kind of power in certain hands would be indeed catastrophic. So maybe Collier's vision is ridiculously naive. Or maybe even quite evil and it's all a power play for an agenda that's not yet been revealed.
Heh. I hope we get to see, but I'm actually fairly happy with the open ending as well.
I'm wondering how many new nicknames Sheriff Grabass CFerg is going to have by the end of the episode.
Also, the whole ape thing? NOT TRUE FOR BONOBOS.
She rattled that crap off so fast, I'm going to have to go back and listen to it again. Bonobos are very different from common chimpanzees.
Bonobos are very different from common chimpanzees.
Yes indeed they are. The rattled-off crap was roughly "we're apes, and apes are all about the male dominance" -- so, yeah, bonobos, nsm.
Long setup. Cheap joke at the end. Still funny.
