I liked the season finale, though it didn't make sense to me at the end
Anyway, the ads for the season finale (which I watched AFTER the broadcast because of spoilers ) were totally misleading. Warning, spoilers on how I felt the episode didn't live up to the teaser ad, so details about the actual show are rampant.

Ok, Capt - I'll buy that, especially since I was making dinner while watching so I didn't see all of that. Did they say that stuff and my hearing is shot or was it visual (didn't "see" several parts of the ep). Either way, guess I'll have to dedicate a good 44 minutes to it if it repeats.
Edit to explain the only images of all those you described that I saw were
The rest of the connections you mentioned would be very interesting to see, and would improve the episode tremendously, not to mention negating my point of that question not being answered.

And this basically goes back to the roots of the original Dead Zone film, does it not? This season just expanded upon Johnny's experiences up until now, where he'll have to figure out how to short circuit Stillson's political aspiration without destroying himself (and his loved ones) in the process.

This is one of those shows that should be stupid and cheesy but somehow isn't. I'm not sure if Piller is the reason or Hall or a combination of many factors, but for whatever reason, it doesn't suck and is actually quite good.
I'm not sure I like how quickly they threw Johnny into his mental tailspin. It was only last week that we had the Shaman thing, and now he's gone all "don't talk to me" on us? I understand the motivation, it just seems rushed.
Anyway, the ads were most definitely misleading and the episode seemed a waste for me. Not because they didn't cover some ground, just that they needed to cover more. This should have been a two-hour episode that ended on a cliff-hanger. As it was, it seemed like they just rushed through a bunch of stuff to get us to this point. That's fine though ... now we're here.
As long as it remains on USA and doesn't move to USA2, I'll continue to watch it next season.
