I missed an episode of The 4400 (spoilers requested)

Cafe Society

Specifically, the 8/14 episode. Jordan came back, Kyle got out of prison, Alana returned, and Isabelle left the center, and Diana stole her sister’s boyfriend.

Anyone catch me up? Oh, also, I get it…Jordan Collier returns from the dead to save mankind…JC…get it. Thanks for dropping the anvil on my head, by the way.

I want to continue to like this show. I really do. But it’s getting progressively harder.

Anyway, spoilers welcome.

Try this page. I only skimmed but it looks okay.

Thanks. That helped. I was hoping Alana wasn’t gone for good.

Now, if Isabelle is able to bulldoze over anyone who gets in her way (witness her “wedding” to Sean) how was Jordan able to kick her out? She didn’t pout and say “I need you to keep me good, so I’m going to stay?” And what did Sean and Richard say? Were they relieved? Saddened? And did Sean smoke anymore on that Fortune-Telling Cigar?

Isabelle could get away with whatever she wanted, but now her greatest triumph, killing JC, turns out to be a bust.

With his Macchiavellian disregard for the potential impending deathtoll, it’s by no means clear that this JC is an actual savior; he talks of saving the world, but he may, in fact be the cause of the Great Future Disaster.

This show has dropped false anvils before; it’s the unpredictability that keeps it interesting.

And USA has picked it up for Season 4! Yippeeee!!!

The more I watch the show the more I’m convinced that the 4400 are evil and should be killed. They are a threat. For example: Richard’s response when NTAC had Jordan Collier locked up.

“We can go in there and get him, and there’s nothing you can do to stop us.”

It’d be very interesting if our protagonists turn out to be the bad guys. I’d love it, but my experience with televison is that it’s rarely, if ever, that subtle. String us along for three (or four) seasons, keeping our fingers crossed only to find out we’d been rooting for the bad guys. Sadly, it’s not gonna happen.

I don’t think the 4400 can be judged as a group. Ultimately, they are a collection of individuals, put in extraordinary circumstances with extraordinary abilities. To what extent each of them is corrupted (or not) by their new powers is also part of what keeps this show interesting.
