Save The 4400 with seeds
Filed under: The 4400  Jericho fans saved that show by mailing tons of nuts to CBS, and now fans of The 4400 want you to try something similar to save that show.
They've set up SaveThe4400.com, where you can sign a petition to save the show and also buy a 1.75 oz bag of sunflower seeds from GiantSeeds.com. Then you send them (of course) to Bonnie Hammer at USA Network headquarters in New York City. I'm sure she'll be happy to get them (cough). Continue reading Save The 4400 with seeds

The 4400 canceled
Filed under: The 4400, Watercooler Talk, Cancellations  Since the Season four finale aired, fans (myself included) of USA Network's The 4400 have been waiting to hear the word "renewed." Usually, news of a renewal is announced about mid-season or before the finale. Even if it wasn't the case this time around, we all held hope that USA would renew the popular sci-fi series.
I'm unhappy to report that the cancellation ax fell on the show this week.Continue reading The 4400 canceled OpEd, The 4400, Episode Reviews  (S04E13) Well, the title of this episode wasn't kidding. It was indeed a giant leap forward for the episode. I was really looking forward to this finale because a) it was such a great season and b) because there were some excellent predictions last week and I wanted to see whether they came true. SPOILER ALERT: Some of them did, and some of them didn't. But seriously, if you haven't seen the episode yet, go watch it first and then come back. We'll wait. I'll knit or something.Continue reading The 4400: The Great Leap Forward (Season Finale)

The 4400: Tiny Machines
Filed under: OpEd, The 4400, Episode Reviews  (S04E12) My favorite line of this episode was when Diana told Tom, "You make a terrible Tom Baldwin." I had noticed during this episode that he wasn't even really trying to be Tom Baldwin anymore-- and I thought that was just more evidence of good acting from Joel Gresch. He was so subtle in the first two transition episodes, and now that transformation is complete. He has erased all traces of the real Tom Baldwin. I was surprised that Mia trusted him, actually.Continue reading The 4400: Tiny Machines OpEd, The 4400, Episode Reviews  (S04E11) Even though I thought this episode was more of a filler episode than anything else, it was still a solid episode with solid performances, particularly, once again from Joel Gretsch (Tom Baldwin). It also certainly laid the scene for a promising season finale (to come in two weeks, after the US Open). It was great to see more of Maia in this episode, though it is startling to see how grownup she is now. Last season, we had more Diana storylines, with her sister and then her romance with Ben. This season hasn't given her very much to do, but...

The 4400: One of Us
Filed under: OpEd, The 4400, Episode Reviews  (S04E11) This season continues to deliver more and more great performances. It was a terrific surprise to find Lily again in the very beginning moments of this episode, even though I was expecting to see her, based on the scenes previewing this week's story. I was so sorry when she died because I like the actress so much. She nailed the character with ease, and her chemistry with Mahershalalhashbaz Ali was wonderful all over again. But the best part of this episode (besides the guest appearance from Penny Johnson Jerald, who invented evil on 24 as David Palmer's ex-wife) was the...

The 4400: Daddy's Little Girl
Filed under: OpEd, The 4400, Episode Reviews  (S04E09) Have you ever wondered what ability you might have if you took the shot? I think I would be curious enough to think about taking it, but chicken enough not to take it. Maybe if I didn't have kids. We saw some seriously cool abilities in this episode (some of which we have seen before), and some of them seemed pretty great. For instance, one of my favorite lines of the whole episode was when Tess said, "Not if I don't want them to," in reference to people remembering dancing in a diner. Wow, it would be pretty...

The 4400: No Exit
Filed under: OpEd, The 4400, Episode Reviews  (S04E08) I love the multiple ways the title of this episode works: No Exit refers on the surface, and most basic level, to the scenario in which the characters find themselves. Many characters on both sides of the promicin issue wake up suddenly at NTAC when they started out asleep at home. Both sides think the other has brought them there for nefarious purposes, and they begin preparing to defend themselves when they realize that, like the Hotel California, they can't leave. So, of course, being bright people, they immediately start trying different scenarios that will help them leave despite...

The 4400: Till We Have Built Jerusalem
Filed under: OpEd, The 4400, Episode Reviews  (S04E07) If you ask me, this season is what Season Three should have been. In Season Two, Maia had visions about a war, about something coming, and then Season Three was a fundamental disappointment. However, it seems that Season Four is going to deliver. Juicy Tidbit: The title of this episode comes from William Blake's poem "Jerusalem." See what you can do with your English degree?
" And did the Countenance Divine/Shine forth upon our clouded hills?/And was Jerusalem builded here/Among these dark Satanic mills?" Very nice tie-in to the episode. Poetic even.Continue reading The...

Comic-Con: Women of Sci-Fi and The 4400 panel reports
Filed under: Industry, Battlestar Galactica, The 4400, Celebrities 
I'm combining Sunday's panel reports because neither the Women in Sci-Fi panel nor The 4400 panel was brimming with revelations unless you count as a revelation the fact that Lucy Lawless' fans bear a striking resemblance to the core audience of the WNBA, but you shouldn't.Continue reading Comic-Con: Women of Sci-Fi and The 4400 panel reports Permalink | Email this | |
