Hot on the heels of the return of The 4400, this week brought new episodes of The Dead Zone to us. I've been a fan of this show for a while. Not from the very beginning, I admit, but USA's frequent reruns helped me get all caught up near the end of the first season.
The thing is, I really don't have much in the way of commentary on tonight's episode, other than to say: what the hell happened to the theme song?! They used to have the very cool, eerie, and interesting New Year's Prayer by Jeff Buckley. Now they have a rather uninteresting instrumental composition -- running over the exact same credits sequence. (I guess that's so you can hit "mute" and easily imagine the old song in its place.) What happened? Did the price for the rights to the song go up?
It's kind of the opposite of what went on with the theme song to Enterprise for four years. Just about everyone hated it right out of the gate, and begged the Powers That Be to change it out for something instrumental. Here, almost everyone who expressed any opinion about The Dead Zone's theme loved it, but now they've swapped it out for something instrumental.
The grass is always greener...?
