Hot damn. Lots of stuff happened tonight! And yet, it still feels like the pace of the episode was slow. How is that possible?
I've too many reactions, so a messy list:
- The scientist is injecting himself! I guess he'll be the first live subject of human-turned-4400. That would require a new name in and of itself.
- Richard's got powerzah!
- Okay, who had Jasmine/Jossverse flashbacks with the last scene? Anyone? Anyone? Spike? Bueller?
- Poor Isabel's mom. That woman's had a hard time. Actually, I'm surprised both parents have lived this long with an out of control godchild to raise.
- I wonder if the healing abilities in Sean and the psychic abilities in Maya will get stronger now without the inhibitor, or if they'll stay the same level?
- Marcoh gets some lovin'. I've been looking forward to that. They deserve it.
- The alien-extraction / blue lightning scene was pretty cool. I thought he was killing him at first, because Sean's really been played out as a moral character so far, but the really moral righteous ones can always go Darth Willow on your ass. I'm glad to see that didn't happen here.
- I also like that Sean finally did a miracle worthy of his abilities. So far he's been fairly piddly with its use... this time he got to really do something. And, on top of that, he got to use it to not only help so many strangers, but also to free someone he loves from a terrible burden. That's a day's work.
- a "war", huh? This is reminding me of the X Men movies, a little. Only, this is like a real-world [mostly] plausible version of how everything with mutants would go down.

Man, I loved this finale.
