KYLE XY SEASON 4 EPISODE LIST HOW TO
When Kyle wants to rush off to talk to the girl he has a crush on, the guy trying to teach him how to use his superpowers has a fit and they have a major fight. Kyle XY plays it's plots off one another. Yet it was all edited together in a random (annoying) manner. Sometimes on Friends the plots moved at different speeds so what was happening to one character took place over the run of a few hours and what was happening to someone else took days to play out.
You felt, sometimes, like you were watching two different shows spliced together. Desperate Housewives (which I used to watch) and Friends (which I watched from start to finish, and hope to watch again when I finish Seinfeld) were two of the worst offenders. Some shows with multiple plots are schizophrenic in the way they handle them. Some of them are hardcore sci-fi and some of them are pure family drama / soap opera. At this stage there are many, many plotlines in play. " The List is Life" One of the cleverest genre shows I have ever seen. The best scenes are the ones with Declan, and the best cast member is Marguerite MacIntyre. Kyle's web of lies - in an earnest attempt to put his life back together - has generated a whole new set of problems. I've seldom seen a show re-invent itself so well (House? Veronica Mars? Prison Break?). Having spent a season riding on the mystery of " Who Is Kyle XY?" the show doesn't miss a beat when it side-steps into a whole new world of tension and conflict. Largely because it is story-driven and character-driven, as opposed to event-driven.
And unlike the season premier, which was marred by low production values when it needed new sets and pyrotechnics, this is a flawless episode. " The Homecoming" Hot on the heels of it's best ever episode, the show raises the bar and delivers - once again - it's best ever episode. Best scene? Although the final scene was wonderful (the reunion between Kyle and his 'family') I think the highlight of the episode - for me - was when he explained to Tom Foss that he wanted to go back to the Tragers because. It's not often you meet a show that is equal parts cool and heartfelt. They are having a hard time learning to live without him (particularly the mom). Meanwhile, the other story follows life with the Tragers: the family that adopted Kyle during the first season.
As superhero origins go, it's a pretty cool one. Who he is, where he came from and why has has the powers that he has. First of all, Kyle finally learns his history.
This particular outing (the best so far in the series) has two stories to tell. It manages to walk the line between sci-fi action-adventure and heartwarming family-drama with an almost complete success rate. " The Prophet" Low production values and writing that can sometimes be too on-the-nose for my liking cannot take away from the fact that Kyle XY is an exceptional series.
