The 4400 Season 4 Episode 6 and Jesus Christ

Interesting that two series I'm currently watching (see previous post) deal with Christ like figures. Jordan Collier and John from Cincinnati, Both J.C. hmmmmm?

I said I was getting a bit bored by the 4400, but this latest episode has good things again. The reasons why I liked it are returning.

Will the series continue in this lovely uncertain way where you can be sure of nothing, where people can't even be sure who they are?

See, A film maker of hammy B-movie type flicks seems to have the ability to reveal all the worlds conspiracies, except he mysteriously gets snapped up by Hollywood and then recants all his earlier film making as made up fantasy.
A cabal of influential people including the Pope, this series' version of Bill Gates and perhaps one of our protagonists Tom the NTAC agent, are perhaps inhabited by forces from the future. The inhabitors leave behind a mark behind the ear, a result of surgical procedures.

So many questions. Is the head of NTAC one of the cabal set to "destroy" the 4400? How will Jordan bring paradise to Earth? Will Tom (as prophesied) end up taking promicin to counteract his having been interfered with? Who are these forces that took the 4400 in the first place? And who are those who have sent back this cabal to stop them, and what are they so afraid of? Is Jordan and starting to look like the good guy, is there coming a definite black and white in a show where everything was once grey?

It's all feeling very X-Filesian.

Though I still find the pace of the show too fast for its story, I am enjoying it again. Well, this episode at least.
