[QUOTE=Lightray] Kyle _totally_ got screwed in the power department. I mean, Baltar already has that power, _and_ his Invisible Girlfriend is not only much hotter, but also looks like she paid more than $5 for her haircut and dyejob. [/QUOTE] I totally agree! How sad that his power is the same as 5 year olds: an imaginary friend :rolleyes: ---

[QUOTE=Omega Glory] I think Kyle’s brother is either going to die (most likely) or get involved with the dark side and have a sibling rivalry showdown. [/QUOTE] I’m going to root for the former. Kid is still as much of a whiney little pissant as he was when he was the “baby” brother. However, I’m wondering if Kyle might’ve given him a fake shot. ---

I’m thinking that promicin has a 50:50 chance of killing someone, and we’ve got _two_ whiny, annoying siblings ready to take the promicin shot… pretty much a foregone conclusion that either Sean or Diana is going to lose their lead weight sibling. ---

I don’t like the loose threads. I don’t like that Maia is left in Spain, and I miss Richard. Alana is gone too, and I thought she and Tom were good together. It looks like a lot of the actors didn’t want to come back for another season. ---

Very cool reveal at the end there. I never doubted Kyle would end up with an ability, but didn’t see that one coming. I practically forgot about Danny. What’s he doing back, other than being annoying? I’ll take April over Danny, if we have to lose an annoying promicin-taking sibling. No way has Isabelle completely lost her abilities. Not buying that for a second. Well, maybe she lost them temporarily, but she’s getting them back, and the shleps in suits holding her behind bars are going to be the first to go. ---

[/QUOTE] I still think they are the ones who will give her her abilities back! Who’s to say that test wasn’t to see if she could regain them, so that they could administer whatever will restore them? Of course, she might fry them anyway once she can. They’d be trying to use her one way or the other and she, surprisingly, doesn’t like that. 😛 ---

What did everyone think about last night? Not a great episode, with the ghost and all, but I like the idea of Kyle working with Isabelle. ---

I, in my infinite wisdom, unplugged my DVR a few days ago and forgot to plug it back in, so it didn’t record. ::emotear:: ---

Just watched this weeks episode. Who else thinks Meghan (the new ntac leader) is one of the marked? Shawn should’ve just let the senator(?) stay in his vegetative state. A guy like that is just as likely to stick with his agenda even though he did get help. ---

Woo hoo! Richard’s back! And he kicks ass! Go, Richard! What the heck do they have planned for Isabelle? I bet being reverted to childhood returns her powers. That new chick in charge of NTAC? Die, already. Evil! Sleep with your subordinate, say “it’s just friends” then keep sleeping with him??? Evil! Die already. ---

[QUOTE=levdrakon] Woo hoo! Richard’s back! And he kicks ass! Go, Richard! What the heck do they have planned for Isabelle? I bet being reverted to childhood returns her powers. [/QUOTE] Actually, turning Isabelle back ino a child without her consent seemed a bit more unethical than what I might expect from Richard. It makes me curious as to what he’s experienced since last we saw him. I agree, however, that it would be interesting to see Isabelle regain her powers, if that in fact would be a by-product of her new childhood. ---

[/QUOTE] Well, it was kind of unethical for the Future to mess with her development to begin with. I would be interested in knowing more about which 4400s he’s been hanging with. They aren’t Collier’s people. Richard said they could pay a visit to whomever this woman is who can reverse aging, and undue it. She’s got to get her powers back. I just hope she doesn’t get the “kill all 4400’s” thing going on again. Poor Tom, he’s really getting reamed. First he has to take the shot, then he’s “marked.” What next? ---

[QUOTE=levdrakon] Poor Tom, he’s really getting reamed. First he has to take the shot, then he’s “marked.” What next? [/QUOTE] Speaking of Tom taking the shot…Kyle has it in his head that “Dad’s on the list, so we _know_ he can take the shot and survive”. However, that was never really spelled out, was it? The prophecy says that everyone on the list has to take the shot, and then…well, God shows up, or heaven comes to Earth, or whatever. Something very nice, apparently. It doesn’t actually say that everyone on that list will _survive_ taking the shot though, does it? Side note from my over-the-shoulder Wife: “…and Megan is a dirty little whore who should keep her scummy hands off of Tom”. My rebuttal: Megan is eeeevil, yes…but you just don’t want her with Tom because you want him to keep pining for a woman who has _been dead for 150 years!_ Sheesh…women. ---

One other quick note: This show is so much fricking better than it has any right to be. Why it’s not more popular is beyond me.
