I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Damn. I'll miss you, 4400. The Dead Zone has gotten less and less interesting, while The 4400 kept going in directions I didn't expect.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ha! This is from the TWoP recaplet of the Smallville episode before last week's:

Things taken an even stupider turn when we find out that Boy Editor is actually Lex's dead brother, Julian. Now, here's the thing: if Lex had cloned him from his dead brother's DNA, cool. That's interesting.

And now I'm watching last week's, and THANK GOD. The writers aren't completely antagonistic toward their own continuity.

ETA: I just finished! What the fuck?!

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

Hadn't he? I kinda watched an episode by mistake, and I thought that what was happened.

Yeah, TDZ got very flat for me, but 4400 had both interesting events and characters.

Yes, but we only found that out in the episode after. When it was first revealed, they wanted us to believe Julian had never died. Which was ridiculous and stupid and mildly infuriating.

Oh. Okay.

So....how long has Chloe had powers? Does she take on the injury/illness? And Lana knows everything?

Chloe got infected by meteor rock sometime last season but only exhibited powers at the beginning of this season and yeah - she takes on the injury. (Lois died and Chloe saved her with her tears and then Chloe died and came back to life in the hospital morgue.)

Chloe's had powers since...some time last season when they kidnapped her and injected her with meteor rock. And I think she does take on the injury/illness somehow, even though they didn't show it, because when she healed Lois with her phoenix tears in the season finale, she died.

Lana knows about Clark and stuff, but I don't think she knows about Chloe having powers, and I honestly can't even remember whether she knows that Chloe knows. I don't know why that would be a secret, but you never know with this show. They love their secrets.

She knows that Chloe was interested in that project so she must know that she has been somehow hurt by meteor rock experiments.

I think that Chloe was keeping it secret from Jimmy because Jimmy was being very anti-meteor freak.

This is all very weird.
