The Dead Zone: Denouement (season finale)

actually before tht episode it did show that his father had visions. he had teh vision of that building collapsing and he went into that little girls room because she was going to die when she was older. he was trying to have another vision so he could stop it. And also Johnny did have visions before he went into the coma. he had them when he was a little and he had the feelings like JJ too. I think the car crash just made his dead zone turn on completely. Instead before it was just half on or something because it is hereditary or something of that sort.

If everyone would remember that this is a science fiction show and maybe johnny's vision aren't as far as some people hoped. He can only see but so far ahead of his visions. Or at a current point according to the issue at hand. The issue at hand when Johnny shook Stillson hand wasn't about his father because he couldn't see that far ahead and didn't even know his father was alive. As far as JJ they could have waited to let him see more like his father in a two part episode in the next season. Oh well Its done now. The series is great and it should continue. The show is alot better than some of the stuff on television I have seen. The storyline can be tremendous now that him and his son can see visions. My advice for everyone is give this show another chance for the next season. The 4400 started off very slow but now I am looking forward to the next season. The Dead Zone now that Stillson is known to be a snake himself instead of his advisors should shape up next season. I can guarantee it so everyone don't give up there. Be open minded. This is fiction not true stories. Fiction stories can makeup off the wall ends.

If you all would remember. In the first episode of The Dead Zone. When Johnny was a kid on the ice, and he fell. He had a vision of the boy falling into the ice when it broke. And, as far as his dad having visions. Remember the episode that the building exploded. It was showing that his father had the little girls doll, and he went to the girl and told her that she had to stop it. His vision wasn't from then. It was of the future. That little girl was the woman in charge of the building crew.

Huh, I just realized that Tom Skerritt was in the original The Dead Zone movie. He played Sheriff Bannerman.

Tom did a fine job in the role, but seriously, how cool would it have been if Christopher Walken was Johnny's dad?

It's decent entertainment. It has a nice "love story". It's got key charactyers with all usual failings, but trying to do the right thing.
Thats' one heck of a lot better than the average show on TV these days. IMHO of course.

Ok, So the story line of Johhny's father having visions has been there for years. Johnny when he was a little boy, i think they showed it in the first or second season, hit his head skating on the ice and had his first vision...so the coma wasn't the only thing to trigger the coma. Johnny has had psychic potential the whole time, the coma just brought it back. This season finale set up season 7 to be the best one yet. Armeggedon is back, JJ has visions, Stillson is evil again (always knew the niceness wouldn't last). I can't wait, bring it back!!...except this time with less filler episodes...focus on dooms day every episode.

The fact that Johnny's father had visions was dicscussed in episode 53 titled "Babble On" in 2005. In that episode, Johnny discovered that his father was committed to an asylum for schrizophrenia due to recurring visions of a young girl dying in an explosion. His father wanted to prevent the accident but, of course, it was believed he was unstable. Turns out that the accident actually takes place in the future when the girl is an adult and Johnny prevents her and others from dying in the explosion. Herb had a doll belonging to the girl which he had hidden in the floor of his study. Due to contruction in Johnny's house, Johnny had visions of his father, the doll, and the explosion.

The best part is that the whole first paragraph can be used in The 4400 review too!

I have only seen a few episodes of this show, and from I have seen it sucks. They might as well call it "Visa!" Is there any other all plot to the show? All I know is that they like visa and the Vice President is in the show.

That essentially negates Johnny's coma, which is sort of the whole premise of the show.

Actually, even in the original Stephen King book, it was pretty clear that Johnny got visions even when he was a kid (I think the book had him "seeing" a classmate fall through the ice while playing hockey, but it's been years since I read it).

The accident only caused them to become more "focused" and frequent, rather than appear in the first place.
