Watching The 4400

Note: You know what happens when you’re hopped up on cold meds and spend most of the day sleeping? Yeah, you miss posting, or at least, dreamed that you posted but when you look through the logs, nothing’s there. Sorry about that.

Chad Faust, our own Kyle Baldwin, has been making the rounds when it comes to interviews, most recently over at Prime Time Pulse where he chatted with Matt Basilo about the fourth season, which just started airing in Canada on SPACE on September 26 and will air Wednesdays at 10pm ET/PT there.

MB: This season, we’ve also seen more about Kyle’s sense of loyalty, particularly towards his father and Jordan. What was it like jumping into the middle of the season’s major story arc?

CF: That was my favorite part of the season, that Kyle’s was in this classic struggle, a struggle between what he believes in as far as his outer world. His career, his ideology… between that and family. And I think that’s this classic thing to play. His contribution to the world, his grander scheme, his grail…or his family, his love, the people he cares about. It’s a struggle that I can personally relate to.

I felt this season the most connected I’ve been to Kyle, ever. I think in the past I kind of understood him, but I wasn’t necessarily going through that in my life. Whereas this year, this is stuff I’m going through.

He also says that he really has enjoyed where the fourth season has gone, as the Battle Over Promicin really isn’t a Good versus Bad, Black Hat versus White Hat struggle, which is how so many people can identify with the show and the story. It’s much more like real life than a lot of people expect a science fiction show to be, reflecting the current atmosphere of the world.

Chad talks about not only the fourth season of the 4400, but also the time leading up to this, and his recent work outside of the show, including his first leading man role in Descent with Rosario Dawson (Sin City) and that he’s currently shopping around four different screenplays, hoping to get some recognition outside of his impressive acting resume.

He also leaves us with a nugget about the possible renewal (or non-renewal) of the show by saying that we’ll just have to wait until sometime in October to hear from the network, as they don’t usually release that information until then.

Have I told y’all lately that I’m not terribly patient?
