The 4400: Tom Baldwin’s Roving Eye
By stephanie - Monday, August 27th, 2007
After being initially lukewarm to The 4400, I found myself getting sucked in via DVD and now I’m looking forward to the show every week. It’s a sci-fi soap opera. And just when you think they’ve wound the story arc down, they find some new way to take it up a notch.
Spoiler Alert!
This season, though, I’ve been very disappointed with the way they’ve handled Tom Baldwin – up until Sunday night’s episode. Alana disappears and he just accepts it, only to bed his way-too-young blonde boss without blinking? Gimme a break. The whole thing was just way out of character and plain icky. The Tom Baldwin I knew would have fought tooth and nail to get Alana back, not just move on without nary a care and then shack up with the first pretty young thing to catch his attention.
But now we have a twist. Tom Baldwin is now bad Tom Baldwin. And I hope there’s some sort of gruesome outcome with this whole thing with his bland blonde boss. Because then I can experience some satisfying schadenfreude over the whole thing.
And bring Alana back, please!

Could not agree more. Enough said.
