The Last Season? May 16, 2008 16 out of 18 found this review helpful
I've been a long time fan of this show and I have to admit that it was loosing some steam, but I dont think the network have that many good shows that was worth canceling this one. I always enjoyed the episodes that pushed the Stillson story line (this is with all the seasons), so I'm most upset that the show was canceled prior to tying that up. There are a few gems on this set, I only hope that they give us some good special features to make up for our lost. I hate when shows like this are not given the respect of a proper ending. Sad.
The Best Show They Cancelled Last Year June 3, 2008 12 out of 14 found this review helpful
This show was multidimensional and amazing. I didn't start watching until the second to last season. I didn't really get where they were going until I saw it for myself. I think alot more people would have watched from the beginning with better promotion - I couldn't see what it was with those Monk and John commercials. But I agree with the previous reviewer that USA network showed a lack of respect for the cast, crew and fans by now allowing them to tie up the loose ends. The only reason you can't really give this five stars is because so many questions were left unanswered. I don't want to give too much away in the review but as always I think it's worth watching.
So sad to see it's over June 19, 2008 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I enjoyed this show from the first season, and I'm sad it's over. I gave it three stars though, because it probably is a little weaker compared to the other seasons, and I agree with other reviewers that there were things left open-ended... you'd hope for another season.
I suppose I should place a spoiler alert warning here... First, although I was slightly bummed there was a different actor playing J.J., I really liked this kid. In all honesty, I think he was better than the original, had more personality. The whole thing with Stilson not being wrapped up didn't bother me.
I was sad to see Walt go, because I grew to like him, but I liked the irony of Sarah now giving birth to Walt's kid, and John being left behind to take care of them. The thing I disliked the most was how John and Sarah ended up. All this time passed, now they finally have a chance to be a real family, and I think the two characters never got the finale they deserved after so many years. For those of you who watched it, Sarah's issue with the lie John told her was ridiculous to me.
I liked the end scene in that it was hopeful, but I would have preferred to see them finally married off... at least J.J. finally accepted him as "Dad."
Hit and Miss September 23, 2008 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
First let me say that I have been with Johnny and crew from the very beginning. I count myself as a fan. I sat fascinated during the early episodes, marveling both at the storytelling and cool special effects. By Season 3, the series was slowly losing its way. The acting was spotty, but mostly it was the uneven writing that stood out. Seasons 4 and 5 continued the slide down.
I have mixed reviews of the sixth and final season. During this final installment, the new writers decided to just scrap the main Stilson story line and go off on one-show adventures. Each hour introduces some new dilemma that Johnny must confront. Unfortunately, all of the other cast except Sarah are essentially removed from the show after episode 1 (I don't want to spoil things, so I'll leave it at that). The loss of the supporting cast is unfortunate, because it was the character interaction (Bruce-Johnny, Rev. Purdy-Stillson, etc.) that gave the show depth.
There are some decent episodes (Big Top, Switch, Outcome, and Denouement) and some poor ones (Heritage, Ego, Re-entry, Interred). One thing I noticed was that anytime the new sheriff is on screen, the show suffers. I don't know if it is her acting or the terrible lines she was forced to mutter, but it is painful to watch. Also, Sarah's hot and cold behavior towards Johnny and God forbid Stillson is completely out of character. It makes her come off as a needy widow in search of a husband and father for her kids - I'm sorry to have to even say that, but it plays out that way. If anyone would have told me that she would kiss Stillson, I would have probably not even bothered with the season at all.
Overall, I think this final season is an improvement over the last one. But it ends with things basically where they all started - nothing resolved - the world's headed back towards armageddon, Stillson is still at the helm, and we the viewers are not quite sure what is going to happen next. Everyone looks a bit haggard, but I suppose the actors must feel that way after the ups and down the writers have put them through. I enjoyed the Dead Zone, but in truth I had hoped for something more from the final season.
Written by Arthur Bradley, author of "Process of Elimination," - an erotic thriller that pits a martial artist against a world-class sniper out to shape the Presidential election.

I Wish I Could Save You May 10, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
While it is too bad this is the last season, it was quite obvious that it would be because of the season finale (for those who've seen it you know what I mean). The first episode started itself even started off bad; no more Bruce, different JJ, no more Walt. Through-out the season they even had to progress the whole Johnny & Sarah thing even further, which was part of the ruination of the show; they also didn't have too much to do with the whole Stillson and end of the world thing. The worst part of this whole season WAS the very last scene of the season finale...too happy. However, I still enjoyed following the mystery of the whole season & playing the game; plus, the special effects never ceased to amaze me & Anthony Michael Hall is still a phenomenal actor.If you are a collector then it's worth buying, if not buy the first 5 seasons they were definitely better.
