Question: I have really been impressed by this season of The 4400 and I fear that it is being ignored. I'm tired of shows not getting the attention and recognition they deserve just because of the network they're on. Honestly, who cares about the network? While I doubted the fate of the show last year and wasn't even sure whether I would return as a viewer, this season has more than proved me wrong, with spectacular writing, acting and plot development. Even when I thought I couldn't be more impressed, the season finale managed to do just that: Watching Sean kill his brother and then reunite with his uncle, Tom, and cousin Kyle at the funeral was such a nice touch. The show reminds me of 1984 and other great novels where people learn to deal with a world of chaos. However, it's upsetting that this show, really a work of art, couldn't possibly be recognized at the Emmys next year.

See now I'm angry, and that's not good. For a while I thought I was the only one who was really angry about this. Angry that this Small Minority of Loud-Mouthed Bullies (SMLMB) had decided to take control over what you get to watch on your television. They don't trust that you'll be able to make the "right" decision. They might even have to keep an eye on what you're allowed to see in a movie theater. Or in a museum, even. Yup, freedom of choice can be a pretty scary thing — to the SMLMB. Soon they may have to step in and approve anything you might want to say out loud, in the privacy of your home. Or maybe what you might think in your mind. If it weren't 2006, I'd think it was 1984!
