Yeah, I just finished watching, and I'm seriously considering dropping

second choice.

While, from the viewer's perspective, it's rather obvious as to why
Isabelle must die, the in-series reasoning was given *way* too early in
the season (even if Tom was lied to by the PftF).

And Tom goes to what may be the most powerful and dangerous woman in the
world, and TELLS her he's supposed to kill her, and HOW, and hangs on to
the needle like he's gonna get another chance to use it. :\

I don't see how Tom can kill her without help from at least one other
4400 (either several gang up on her and he swoops in like a vulture
after they are dead and she is severely weakened, or a 4400 she trusts
utterly betrays her). Oh, there is the chance she kills herself, I
suppose.

I don't think it is that hard to kill Isabelle. While she's definitely
powerful it hasn't been shown that she's invulnerable to bullets. Even
if she could heal herself a few bullets would likely slow her down
enough to let people take other action. Imagine someone shooting at
her with a high powered rifle from some distance away. She wouldn't
know it was coming and there's no reason to believe that a bullet to
the head wouldn't kill her. There is the shot that the evil future
people might interfere, but probably not given that neither group
seems to get involved directly that often. Either the technology isn't
that reliable, or it takes a tremendous amount of resources to do so.

Seems like it would have been a hell of a lot smarter for Tom to put that
fluid in a tranqualizer gun now doesn't it? Without her help, it's not
likely he's gonna get her with the needle.
