Shaman
gs: Adam Beach (Shaman)

While travelling out in the wilderness with Bruce, Johnny is plagued by visions of a meteor hitting a mountain and people vanishing. He's unable to direct an astronomer to find the meteorite so he goes out into the wilderness and injures his leg. Taking refuge in a cave, Johnny picks up an antler fragment and has a vision of an injured Indian shaman in the past...who can see Johnny as well! They soon establish a rough communication - the shaman also suffered a head injury that gave him a "dead zone". Johnny realizes the shaman will die during a meteorite strike and the people he saw vanishing are the man's descendents - Johnny manages to warn him to get him and his community clear of the blast radius in the past, and helps Johnny hold out long enough for Walt's rescue party to find him.

Love it! Specially enjoy the shaman and Johnny scenes. Love when the shaman see for the first time Johnny and when Johnny dissapear and he throws the knife imitating Johnny when he dissapears.

Also love how at the end it was the shaman people in the past the ones that needed to be save, and how Johnny have appear to the shaman since he was a little boy.

Very cool episode.

ooh ooh ooh, just got into Dead Zone recently. I like this episode the best (that's including the ones in S2 that have aired). I thought it was very well done & an interesting concept. Makes you wonder about greater purposes & other powers that be that exist ...
