apocalypsosShawn and Isabelle in bed together after lots of sex.
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I WIN!
*flails*
Sorry, just had to get that out of the way. Isabelle's growing on me (okay, Megalyn's growing on me), so YAY! Yeah, like I wouldn't say that even if she weren't growing on me. She's still creepy as fuck, but that's the way I like her. Thank God and bring on more porn! WOO!
Matthew's slime factor continues to grow in leaps and bounds. He bought her lingerie? Like, an obscene amount of lingerie? GYAH.
Isabelle's Hands of Discontent are my new favorites, especially if they make Matthew choke like that.
And by the way, I'm wondering if Matthew influencing Isabelle and Isabelle growing a wee bit drunk with power are why the future's still screwed up according to Faux Sara. They sent Lily back pregnant with Isabelle for a reason, and I imagine it wasn't to be a superpowers hog and model lingerie for Shawn. (Of course, if that job's hiring, I am SO THERE.)
Okay, so the Maia-disappears plot. IS AWESOME.
Granted, I don't want Maia to leave Diana's brain, because ... well, she's her mom. But now she's gone and I'm all verklempt like, "ACK!", and if you were expecting any coherency about the whole thing out of me, you're going to miss out.
It really makes me wonder what they were doing with Lindsey, Olivia, Duncan and Tyler, though. Times like this, I really wish the main website still had the 4400 files up, because they didn't say what Lindsey's power was (I don't think, unless I missed it), and here's what we know:
1. Olivia and Duncan were taken first (or at least, that's what they implied with the parents thinking they were on a camping trip).
2. Then Lindsey gets taken, then Maia, then Tyler.
3. Olivia and Duncan can control water. Tyler can control electricity. Maia can see the future.
4. Lindsey was changed first, probably to keep from organizing the others.
5. Maia was the one who was chosen to get sent back, or at least sent back first.
So, okay. Let's figure that maybe they were given those abilities so that they would grow up with them and therefore know them better than other 4400s might who received their abilities as adults. If you think of it like that, it makes it seem like those might be more useful to stop whatever tragedy is coming. (Which makes me wonder what you can do with someone who knows the future and people who can control water and electricity that would save the planet.)
Yeah, okay, somebody who knows the future will come in handy for a group who wishes to succeed. Someone who's had years to hone that ability would be even more powerful. Think about someone who learns how to play piano as a child and takes lessons into adulthood put up against an adult who just started lessons six months ago. Children learn differently than adults do, plain and simple. They sent Maia back to the present day, but now they're sending her back earlier in the timeline. Not only will she be there before everything with the 4400 goes down, but she'll have much longer to "practice."
Plus, I know the Powers That Will Be can put someone forward in the timeline, but can they put someone in a timeline before they were taken? I'm starting to get the impression they can't. In which case, the other kids wouldn't be worth it. Olivia and Duncan were only taken a few years ago, it seems, as was Tyler. That wouldn't make much of a dent, if they're trying for long-lasting ramifications with the 4400. Lindsey was taken in the '70s, which may be why she was changed before Maia. Try her first, and if she doesn't work, then you have no choice but to change Maia.
So they put her earlier in the timeline (HOW MUCH earlier should be interesting to see), which gives her time to develop her abilities fully, get more control over them, and given enough time to get into a position to help, have more of an impact on future events than she will if they keep her here.
Okay, so maybe I had a little coherency left in me. ;)
Also, for the record, when Faux Sara told Maia that could make sure she forgets "your mom, Marco, all your friends," I squealed. Marco comes before her friends and right after Diana! Yes, I'm a total Marco fangirl. Sue me.
All of the Diana/Marco stuff (He gave her a ride home! They were having a pizza date at the end! MORE KISSING!) made me all kinds of giddy. Oh, and the fact that Marco's going to die both upsets me (NOOOO! I don't want Marco to die! EVER! He needs to stay cute and geeky for eternity!) and amsues me, because his manner of death's got to be amazing if Marco thinks it's cool.
Oh, criminy, it's raining hard AGAIN.
