That's cool about JERICHO and all. I have to admit, I never thought of JERICHO as a sci-fi series. I heard it once described as "24 meets LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE" and I think that's actually a good comparison. Yes it deals with the aftermath of a nuclear apocalypse and terrorism and has tons of action and all, but it also depicts what life is like in a small farm town fairly well. I've grown up in a town like that (although Jericho is more like Assiniboia than my actual hometown of Mossbank) and know people like that as well, so there's an extra level of familiarity to it for me.
But I am excited in seeing what they have in store for those seven episodes. Since they know they only have those seven eps to tell the rest of their story, I imagine that those last seven eps are going to be a high quality as FIREFLY in that they pack so much in one ep and get straight to the point instead of meandering around.
Anyways, getting back to THE 4400. I just saw the final ep. I know they kinda meandered a little bit with the 4th season, but they really kicked things into overtime with this ep. And the finale that's set to "Where is My Mind?" by The Pixies was so fucking perfect. Whereas I was a casual fan beforehand of the series, now I can't wait for next summer to see what happens now in Promise City.
