Sci-Fi Sunday?

More uneven episodes of the USA networks attempt at Sci-Fi.
The 4400:
A nurse named Edwin Mayuya abducted Feb. 24, 1996 works at a hospital and has the power to heal babies in-utero and uses it until he gets caught. The press gets a hold of his story and plasters his picture everywhere. When an old African woman sees his face she screams and tells her granddaughter "that is the man who killed your parents" . The Agency takes Edwin and researches his background. He admits during a genocide in his nation he was in charge of a triage center and let the opposing troops come in and kill the enemy. After much debate with the self-righteous Agent Tom on what to do with him they find out he's dying with each child he genetically cures. The Agency ends up turning him over to the Collier-Cult and Edwin decides to keep using his gift even though it's killing him.
Richard Tyler gets the news that one of his old soldier buddies died. They meet up and reminisce over a Budweiser commercial for there retro cans and good old racism. The one guy who beat him up for being with a white woman on the night he disappeared is not there. He visits the racist and finds him lonely sick and still racist.
Also Kyle is about to crack and Agent Diana makes up with her sister after she used Maia last week.
The Dead Zone:
Bruce, Johnny's physical therapist, is happy to be on a date with a successfully black woman in Maine until Johnny ruins that. A car accident kills a mother leaving Johnny with a baby. The problem is the baby is Mexican and destined for the typical evil-gang-Mexican life if Johnny doesn't find his father. While trying to find the baby's daddy Johnny has to deal with an Evil-Mexican woman and her gang trying to continue their smuggling ring. As usual everything ends up great and daddy and baby reunite. Now if Johnny can only see a way to close the Mexican border that would be cool.
Lourdes Benedicto who is a proud New Yorker born of Filipino and Dominican parents is once again playing a dirty Mexican, if she ever comes across this please play a good Hispanic and stop playing those low Latina roles.

    I'm still enjoying The 4400. I was thinking about setting my TiVo for Dead Zone, but, sometimes, I wonder if I'm out of control with TiVo season passes...like, my TiVo hates me for making it work hard for the money.
