4.11 Saved Johnny: "Fasten your seat belt. I think Hell's about to freeze over." And we're finally back at the Stillson arc, for which I am extremely grateful. There haven't been many good non-arc episodes so far in season four. I knew fairly early that Miranda had somehow faked her own death, but there was still an omigod moment: when Johnny touched Stillson and saw Armageddon actually reverse itself. I mean, wow. The scandal that could have saved the world and sunk Stillson... now it will never be. Bummer. They implied that she did it to protect people, including Johnny. Which still makes him the cause of Armageddon, doesn't it? Sort of? How circular can you get? That final scene with Janus leaving the Bible was extremely creepy. It appeared that Janus was offering Johnny power, the chance to be "the third ruler in the kingdom." (After Stillson and Purdy?) What I'm wondering is, will Johnny even consider saying yes? It would get him on the inside, and in a better position to stop the worst from happening. But it could be a trap. Maybe. Tough call. Bits and pieces: -- Does anyone else think that Miranda looks like a photographic negative of Sarah? I wonder... did they consider having Greg fall for Sarah? I thought there were some vibes going on there at some point. -- Proposing in front of reporters. Stillson is evil. -- Sean Patrick Flanery was good as always. But he doesn't look good, like he's ill or something. -- New Faith Heritage network. Now, in satellite! Reminding me of the vision with the satellite and the hand on the bed. -- The new, terrible theme music still bugs the crap out of me. I used to enjoy the credits, and now I can't wait for them to be over. -- The averted scandal mimicked Chappaquidic (I have no idea how to spell that), the incident that kept Ted Kennedy from following in John and Bobby's footsteps. I don't know a lot about it, but didn't his girlfriend drown? And didn't he fail to go back for her, or something? -- Johnny: "I think Stillson really is in love." Bruce: "Well, even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes." (I thought that was really funny.) -- Stillson to Johnny: "You really are creepy, you know that?" Geez, alert the media: Pot Calls Kettle Black. There were only eleven episodes in this summer season. According to the official Dead Zone site at USA, we'll be getting new episodes in 2006. This demi-season definitely had its ups and downs. Unfortunately, it was predominantly downs. I hope the second half of season four, or season five, whatever, is better. At least they went out with a bang. Three out of four stars, Billie |
