Sixth Sense - 
by J-Unit
We're a little more than halfway throught the latest season of The 4400 and I am sort of wondering where all of the Science Fiction geeks have gone on TVgasm. You shouldn't feel like you have to speak Klingon or have your own parking space at Comic-Con to enjoy a shows like this. I know I have been late with my recaps, but one comment? It's not THAT obsucre and it's not like I'm reviewing old DVDs of Dr. Who or something (no, I really don't like the new series that much if you have to ask). So, even if you don't watch the show, leave a comment and say you like boobies or something. It will make you feel better, and convince me I should spend two or three hours writing the recaps.
Now that my little pity party is over, we can back to the show which, as I have been saying, is actually pretty good. This week had something for everybody: drugs, arranged marriage, and, wait for it....Brian Dennehy!
The episode begins with a girl being chased by somebody on the roof of a building. The guy that is chasing her is calling her Erica, and is telling her that he doesn't want to hurt her, which is exactly the type of thing a psychopath says before he kills you and then wears your ears as a necklace. At this point, I am trying to figure out whether Erica, or this guy, who she calls Uncle Patrick, is the 4400. Whatever it is, Erica says that she is not going to let him touch her, and decides to jump off the roof of the building.
That's going to leave a mark
Tom and Diana show up at the crime scene, but are kind of confused why they were called by the DEA when there were no 4400 involved. As they get there, Tom thanks Diana for some cookies that she had delivered to his house, which is funny because she didn't send him any cookies, and was about to thank him for the cookies that he sent to her place.
Shrugging it off, the two of them learn why they were called in. The girl had a new drug in her called blink. It's the third suicide of a blink user in the last couple of weeks, which is not out of the ordinary, except that blink has been discovered to have traces of promycin(the thing that gives the 4400 their power). It's a powerful hallucinogen, and people see things I guess they don't want to see. For Erica, it was her uncle, who has been in prison for more than twelve years.
As Tom and Diana are leaving, Tom sees his father (played by Brian Dennehy!), who has been dead for nine years. But how could that be? Well, Tom did eat a cookie, and suddenly it's clear. Somebody wanted to get at Tom and Diana and gave them these cookies; at least that is what Tom thinks. Diana had a cookie, and she feels fine. She decides to take Tom to NTAC medical, where they find nothing wrong with him. And since promycin is so new, the toxicology screen doesn't show anything. They can't say how long it's going to last, but just to safe, Jarvis puts Tom and Diana on two day medical leave just in case.
