Ok, so let's all take turns listing ONE problem that Tom Baldwin has faced over the last 4 years. They don't have to be in chronological order. This guy should be insane by now!

I'll start:

1. His son goes into a coma

2. He has to practically kill himself to save Maia and the other 4400 children

3. He lost Alana.

4. He got Marked.

5. His first wife divorced him.

6. He lost his sister and newphew within the same week.

7. He was put on a Psych hold twice (or was it three times?).

8. His dad was distant.

9. He killed people while he was Marked.

11. He woke up in Life Interrupted in a whole different world, very confused & upset.

He Marked Jordan. (I'm counting that because the first thing he wanted to do was go rescue him)

He was shot by his best bud.

14. He almost lost Diana in Gone 2

Finding out his son killed Jordan Collier.

His son joined Collier

17. Was instructed by TPFTF to kill Isabelle

Was kept prisoner in Evanston, and for a while was unable to see his son there.

19. Was 'kidnapped' for PJ's Game in "No Exit"

Had to stand there and listen to Parrish talk about how she sent Isabelle to kill Kyle.

He was injected with a lethal ammount of plumonium...which was probably one of the best things out of this list that happened to him!

22. Was demoted at work for pulling a gun on Lytell (sp?) in Season 2.

He was influenced by TJ Kim and pulled a gun on Diana

Framed for the murder of T. J. Kim by Boyd of the Nova Group.

25. Watched Lytell shoot Kyle (at Highland Beach).

26. Watched Kyle die on Highland Beach.

27. Influenced by Tess Dorner to build the machine

You know, I don't think we ever got an explanation why Tom was effected differently by Tess. If he was effected at all which he believed.

June: I was thinking the same thing. Because when it was over, he implied that he hadn’t been affected and Jarvis threatened to date his resignation letter if he had disobeyed her without influence.

28. Kyle left home at the end of Season 3 to work for Jordan (I think; it may have been to promote The 4400 Center).

29. Remembers everything that the marked Tom did.

30. Forced to admit he had a sexual fantasy about Diana. Is that a bad thing?

had his a$$ handed to him on a platter by the invisible guy ( im sure it was humiliating being a former FBI agent)

32. Diana left him at the end of season 3

33. Had to cope with Kyle not wanting to see him while Kyle was in jail.

34 had to sleep with his boss

Damned writers, making him do that!

35. Had to sit by for a year watching his son suffer unhappily in quaranteen (season 2).

Haha Phanta! Something tells me that wasn't exactly a bad thing for him though...

O right bad for Tom, I was thinking me, it was bad for me. LOL

oh just wait just imagine this

Doctor(said to Meghan & Tom): well congradulations your pregnant
Tom:
Meghan:
Doctor: but i have some really bad news...
Tom: bad news?
Doctor: yes well my ability is to see back up the genetic contributions of people to figure out their family tree and.. well i'm lost.
Meghan: but how could you be lost?
Doctor: well when i look into your past i can see your ancestor was a woman named Alana.. and
....

... him *points at Tom*

Meghan:
Tom: *faints*

LOL

Got a batch of tainted cookies in Blink.

37. He had to come to terms with his past in Blink
38. Tom had to confront his old boss (Ryland) to protect the 4400
39. Confront his nephew who became a leader for a cult NTAC wanted to remove

40 has to look at a painting anytime he wants to remember Alana.

got bitch-slapped by Isabelle when he tried to inject her with the inhibitor

LMAO!!

42. Had to betray Gary Navarro because of Nina & the 'big guns' at NTAC.

43. Alana had to go on the run for a while.

44 he had to watch his son enjoy "Naked sprinkler showers" in the back yard.

of course duh.. there was too much protein in that injection anyway....

...

*listens to someone whispering*

oh that was kyle's injection..


<.<


>.>


my bad.... *goes silent*

45. He has to wait in limbo for who-knows-how-long to see if he's returning for season 5.

Oh, yeah, that's Joel!

Official ruling--- Is having to wait in limbo to know whether or not he gets to return to NTAC for another season worth about twenty points or so?
