(S03E13) Okay, that was a pretty cool season finale -- with one caveat. I hate it when TV shows (and movies for that matter) use plot devices simply for the purpose of setting things up for the next season (or movie). What if the series gets canceled? No closure. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

The 4400 has certainly evolved as a show. The first season was just cool because it introduced a new concept. But it kind of had that Star Trek Freak-of-the-Week thing going for it. The second season became more intense and started to further the plot. Unlike The Dead Zone, which I also review, there are few episodes of The 4400 that don't somehow have a point and drive the series toward the promised apocalypse. The third season has become darker, more sinister in ways, and more intense, like Lost.

Let's see what has happened since "Blink."
