I couldn't find a thread for this show, so I thought I'd start one. I hope there are people here watching because this show is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I just caught up watching the first two seasons on DVD just in time to catch season three. This is a perfect show for summer.

What do you think will happen with Mia? The people from the future said something about sending her back to a time before she was born. I wonder what their plan is. I hope she ends up with Diane. The little girl who plays Mia did such a good job in the last night. She plays scared very well.

I hope Jordan Collier comes back soon. It'll be interesting to see his reaction to Isabell. Plus I wonder what is going on with the Dr. making that promicin (sp?) serum. It seemed to be having such an awful effect on his body.

I'm watching! :) I've been a fan since the show first started.

I'm enjoying season 3 so far, but don't care for the *suddenly* grown up Isabelle and Lily aging and dying so quickly. I'm also curious about Mya, the other 4400 children and WHY the future people took her and sent her to another time.

I'm hoping Jordan comes back, and I read somewhere he WILL be back later on in the season. The Jordan character brought a lot of spice & controversy to the shows characters, so I hope he comes soon!

So far I'm not feeling this third season. I think it's because Kyle is nowhere to be found, and Jordan isn't around to shake things up. I hope Jordan returns, with some powers of his own.

I also hope the show uses Richard more and we get to see his telekinesis he supposedly has.

Little Maia is adorable though. One of the best characters on the show.

I'm not feeling it as much either.

The show is missing its core without Laura Allen and Chad Faust.

I'm on the fence over Karina Lombard's character. I liked her last season, but there's no development in the Tom/Alana relationship. They seem to be kinda stuck this year.

I don't like Isabelle.

And I find they're going all X-Men on the 4400. There's even a team of evil mutants now.

I also don't like the evil mutant plot either Drew. Although I guess it's easier for the show to write long-running villians now than the ones they did every week in previous seasons.

There is one good thing the show is doing, and that's the Diana/Marco relationship. Tom and Alana happened so fast, it's nice that this pairing is being built up slowly. Diana is an interesting character, and I like when the show gets her out of the NTAC stuff and shows her being a mom and a girlfriend. Her scenes with the doctor are good too. I hope they don't kill Jeffrey Combs off, they need a good-guy eccentric.

I think the show only aged Isabelle so that Shawn could have a love interest and to beef up the stuff going on with Matt at the 4400 Center. There's really not much you can do with a baby, but baby Isabelle was a lot more interesting, more evil than adult Isabelle.

I like Diana and Marco a lot too. I hope the show keeps that relationship going. I wonder if Tom/Alana are going to drift apart because of her involvment with the center? I get that feeling, but I like both of them.

I heard that the actors who played Lily/Jordan/Kyle didn't get the money they were looking for and that's why they didn't come back. Not sure if that's true, but I did think it was odd that they had a new actress play Lily, instead of using makup. I'm glad Jordan is coming back. It'll be interesting to see where his character is headed.

I love the little girl who plays Maia. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with her.

I'm not sure what I think about the idea of sending Maia and the others even further back in time. How can the future people know what effect that will have? Seems like it could easily make things worse since there is no way to know every little action will change the time line. They got it wrong the first time, isn't it even less likely they'll be able to predict what will happen the further back they send people? I guess it's best not to think about that too deeply. :blink:

    • This is why they complain cause the other soaps got them brain washed into believing soap stories should drag and drag and drag
    • Bill is about to fall out, lol. Why would Hayley even feel like she had to prove that she was pregnant to Dani? Maybe she likes this non-stop roundabout of drama or perhaps she's triggered because Dani actually was on to something. Anita really was an opportunist and now it's caught up to her. 
    • She was a natural going all the way back to her audition reel.    It's a shame that Rauch and co really amped up the more OTT aspects of Tina's character in the 2nd half of the 80s because Evans proved she could play understated and vunerable without the theatrics. It's also why she was able to slip into playing a recast Patty Williams on Y & R a few short weeks before the climax of the story with Jack Abbott.  She had natural instincts, and knew when the dial it back and when to let loose.  
    • Wow, this was some amazing acting and amazing writing.  And who came up with the idea that Anita would have memorized the letter?  That person deserves an Emmy!  I love it when soap operas do very serious storylines.  So much in the last 40 years on soaps has been done for laughs or as camp.  Its good to see BTG is not afraid to hit the serious notes.  We all knew Anita had a secret, but I never expected this kind of tragedy was behind it.  
    • Finally... the show is giving TT some material to play and I like that Anita isn't coming off as so innocent.   Although I do think so far that the story is mirroring the Supremes just a bit too much with Tracy as Mary, Sharon as Florence, Anita as Diana, and Dante (name?) as Berry.  Andre... run far away from Dani because she isn't over Bill and you're far too good to settle for being second choice.  The fact that I've read comments on other forums stating that Dani just needs the love of a good man makes me think a double standard is at play here.   If the shoe was on the other foot, viewers would be telling Dani not to settle for being second best and to find someone who would put her first.... but since the person in that position is a man, that doesn't apply.   Misandry at it's best. That said, the twist of Naomi and Hayley both witnessing Bill's latest health flare up and being on the same side was nice.   I doubt this will repair their friendship... but it would be nice if the two learned to co-exist on a civil level.   The Dani/Hayley scene was not needed and was the writers attempt to prop Dani.  MVJ certainly  learned about character propping from the Bell soaps. And I guess that Andre/Derek/Ashley is still a thing... or it was at the time this episode was being filmed.  From what I understand.. both Derek and Ashley were one of the characters featured in MVJ's story bible and I'd be curious one day to see what the write ups for both characters were in the intial character pitches (we know that Vanessa was originally named Stacy and was supposed to be AA and more level headed.... so I wonder if perhaps Derek and Ashley had a different write up/vision that changed during casting).   In the 2nd episode of the series, it was established aht Leslie knew Ashley.  She was with Jan and Eva wishing Ashley good luck on her first day nursing.. and all were chummy.
    • Yep, another good episode with a powerful and emotional ending!   I'm really enjoying learning more about Anita's storyline, as they make small reveals each episode. It's also nice not being spoiled about these reveals! It was nice seeing Leslie interact with Derek/Ashley - keep mixing these characters and building a community, it's great. I had to LOL at Derek and Ashley studying the menu though, these people eat at Orphey Gene's every day, surely they have the menu memorized by now haha. Maybe these girls will finally make Bill figure out his problem.
    • There are couple of thoughts I would like to share.  I haven't been around for a while, so it's possible that other people have already addressed these matters. 1. The other day, Michael referred to Scout as his children's 2nd cousin.  That is not right.  Drew and AJ were half-brothers.  That means that AJ's son, Michael, and Drew's daughter, Scout, are half 1st cousins.  That, in turn, means that Scout is half 1st cousins, once removed to Wiley and Amelia.   2. I wonder if the show will have Monica and Lesley die on the same day, perhaps a few hours apart.  That would be an interesting end for their characters.  
    • I tend to lean into Nigel Campbell's work and lately, Ryan Quan, as well.
    • Outside of their headwriters, GH and BTG only credit the breakdown Writer and scriptwriter for each episode. Days credits their whole team daily with their breakdown writer listed after Ryan Quan. Their scriptwriter is the last writer listed. Hope Rena Sofer ain't gone for good
    • Thank you, that makes sense.  I do pay attention to the list when I watch.  I seem to like episodes where Charlotte Gibson is on the list.
