Will Dead Zone Be Worth Watching Anymore

In the season premiere of USA’s Dead Zone, not only was the Sheriff killed off but so it seems was the “Armageddon” storyline where a nebulous secret society was manipulating Rev. Purdy of the Faith Heritage Alliance (a character based somewhat on Jerry Falwell and the Moral Majority) into being the False Prophet and now Vice President Greg Stillson into being the Antichrist.

Most of the high points of the series thus far have dealt with reluctant precognitive Johnny Smith attempting to prevent Washington DC from being destroyed in a nuclear explosion. However, with Rev. Purdy accidentally killing Janus, his handler from the secret society, it seems Smith no longer sees visions of mass destruction when he touches Stillson.

Sounds like the only bomb may be this shows ratings from here on out.
