Okay after a very long week, I finally got home to see the [recorded tape] of this episode. So you all finally get my review!

One Of Us

1st Break

-Sweet, we got to see the future science lab! Have to say I loved that laser gun that the bad future human used. Now truly know it was the bad people to intervene with Richard & Lily. It gets me curious as to what would have happened had the guy not gotten killed.

-Ah, little Jordan (Isabelle)!!! She is so adorable and I love her little laugh- it's so cute.

-Okay and Tom having that "memory" of being the one to say Richard was about to be a father- very nice!

-Wahoo, Lily's back! How- that part I'm still trying to figure out.

-Look forward to more!

-And oh yeah, Tom sleeping with Megan- okay I think I've gotten used to that now.

2nd Break

-Okay now that's a lot to digest!

-Okay so 9 out of 10 left handed people who take the shot will survived?! That's crazy!

-Was it me or did Kevin look worried when Shawn said that stuff about making the announcement on people waiting a while to take the shot.

-I am lovin' Tom's hallucinations, they are really twisted!

-Is Rebecca Parish one of the marked? It seems that way considering she wants Tom to accept the changes within him.

-Nice of Di to cover for Tom while he went to have himself checked out by a private physician.

-I have to say that I do love the Richard & Lily moments.

-Aw, Lily seeing the pic of Richard and older Isabele- that was a little sad.

-Lovin' this epi though!

3rd Break

-Again, lovin' this episode!

-Ah, Tom is no longer Tom- how cool! Wonder how he'll act now.

-So it's official, Rebecca is one of the Marked!

-So that's how Lily was brought back- Byron is using his ability on Richard.

-I don't know why but for some reason Cassie seemed a little colder than usual. Why not just tell Kyle where Isabelle is?

-And little Jordan again! How adorable is that kid?!

-Damn Jordan (Collier)! Just listen to Shawn. Now I don't know who's side to choose anymore. Do I choose Shawn considering that there can be a possibility of fewer deaths or do I choose Jordan which if done things his way the deaths will be greater despite the new advantages?

4th Break

-Man this is intense!

-I agree with Diana, the joke that Tom/Evil Tom did was so not funny. And to top it off, the joke thing was so unlike the Tom Baldwin we know.

-I was near tears when Lily vanished. It was nice having her around.

-Cassie so works for the bad future! I mean she has to be since she wants Kyle to turn Isabelle over to Tom who is no longer the real Tom Baldwin anymore. I can't believe it! Don't think it's changed my view on her though- Cassie is still cool.

5th Break

-Man, oh man, oh man!

-Okay so Evil Tom has Isabelle but lies to Diana about her escaping. Evil Tom used so many tranquilizers on both Richard and Cora. When he did that to them I jumped out of my seat!

-I knew Richard would use his ability on Di: a gun vs. telechenesis- that is no contest; but 'ouch'- a chair to the hip at full force and a bump on the head to boot- again, 'ouch'!

-Wonder what Evil Tom plans to do about Isabelle- sure enough make her evil again, I fear.

End

-Wow, the last few moments were incredible!

-Evil Tom has Isablle at his house and wants her get her abilities back- NO!!!!!!!!

-I can't believe Cassie wants Kyle to stop Shawn. Hope Kyle figures out she's working for the wrong side.

-By the look in Diana's eyes, it's clear she knows something is off with Tom. Hope she gets to the bottom of it.

-Another thing, loved that x-ray machine that the future [Tom] used on Lily. That thing was awesome!

End Notes

-Overall this episode rocked!

-The storyline was well written, the acting was terrific and this one had many twists and turns so I never knew what direction it was going!

-To Joel G.: Great transition from "Being Tom Baldwin" to being the evil future human. Your acting was very sinister. It reminded me of your "Taken" days!

-To Laura A.: It was so fun to have you back. I can only wish that some next 4400 or P+ will find another way of having you return

-To Mar. Ali: Again, great job in this episode. It was fun to see you and Laura act along side each other once again

-To Little Jordan: It's always fun to watch kids grow up on a television show, especially when a fan is so involved in the show that you feel like you've grown up with them. It was fun having you around to play the role of infant Isabelle. I was so happy, thrilled, and proud to see you playing and running around and laughing and even saying a few lines! You girl, you own baby Isabelle so it was great having you get the role again!

This epi definately deserves a 10+ hands down!

Ok… I watched this one with kids in the room, but I still think I got most of it. And I read the first page of comments… I think my ‘first’ thoughts are gonna be covered in everyone else’s this time so I’ll just comment on comments. So I’m gonna read more and finish typing this out.

“a simple CAT Scan, eh? and exactly how are you going to test people in the 3rd World countries? because I don't think promicin distrobution is going to halt just because you can't find a CAT heading in that direction.”

Very close to my thoughts… at this point the shot is being taken by desperate people (although its becoming more mainstream) those people aren’t going to have access to a CAT Scan as quickly as others and as desperate as many are they will probably rather just take their chances. And so many people will have that ‘it will never happen to me’ mentality anyway. The test may reduce the deaths, but its not going to make it ‘all better’.

“granted, the change isn't as severe as with Jackman and Hyde...but even so, nobody notices anything?
(I bet Marco and Garitty have)”

Oooooo… I like that. What a cool possibility to use/see more of them! If the two of them ‘bond’ a bit after this joke thing and admit their concerns… fight the good fight together… I like it. (But since we haven’t seen them playing together… playing at all… before… the ‘just a joke’ scene was weird.)

“(maybe Tom's Marked personality is just himself - in the future)”

That would be cool too. Honestly, I like Marked Tom… and I hated Matthew Ross so that feels a bit odd. But I’ve always been kind of ‘eh’ on Tom… so this give me something to toss me one way or the other… and I liked it.

“If this gets him to reverse what he did to Isabelle, then I may have to join the Cassie-is-evil camp.”

I’m not sure how I feel about Cassie. Evil guide working for the Marked? Neutral guide who doesn’t completely know the consequences of what she ‘feels’ to be right? Good guide of the ‘ends justify the means’ type? <shrug> I just don’t know. And I don’t like the reaging of Izzy either… it may not have been the best answer, but I don’t think it was a bad thing to have her young again.

Wonder who made the choice to age her in the first place… and how it happened? Was it part of the original baby plan (set to ‘go off’ at a particular point)… Was it Lily’s power and if so how and why did it age her at that point?… Was she supposed to grow up normally and they decided they needed her early or what? Anyway… her aging early seems like it came from the wrong side… so her reaging doesn’t seem like a good thing to me.

“Yay! Diana suspects Tom!”

How could she not? You would have to really be slow to know about the mark and not suspect someone that had a mark and was saying ‘don’t worry I’m all better now and that mole is just a mole’ now without a second thought himself. Somebody has got to wise up on Tom reeeal soon.

“How is Tom going to explain Isabelle in his house to Doyle?”

Excellent question!

“Was it me or did Kevin look worried when Shawn said that stuff about making the announcement on people waiting a while to take the shot.”

Yeah!… I wondered if he was thinking “Why don’t you just put up neon signs that say ‘Dr. Burkoff is here working with me’ pal?”

Whew! Well... I guess that does it. :)

I knew Richard's heart would be broken as soon as I saw Lily. She had no soul. No chemistry. Just another cruel trick.

Kevin & Shaun want so much to find a non-lethal solution. To find a way to live in peace, without sacrifice. I want them to succeed. While Kyle is conflicted, I don't think he has the strength of will to resist Cassie & Jordan. There's just no reasoning with them.

The future is looking very bleak indeed. Especially if Tom really has turned evil. :blink:
