...including fitful pursuit by the dark forces from Quadris. One of this legion actually enrolls in Crestridge and shows her otherworldly qualities by unnatural rigidity of posture, persistent dilation of the pupils and a refusal to use contractions when speaking Earth talk. For all his telekinetic talents, though, the weirdest thing about The Powers of Matthew Star (NBC, Friday, 8-9 p.m. E.D.T.) is its portrait of adolescent America, all milk snacks and malt shops and homecoming games.

Within a day or two pieces were beginning to fit, even the weirdest. To the bare fact of the suspect's name, John W. Hinckley Jr., were added the details of a strangely American life, or half life.
