Kevin's Watch

Posted: **Mon Jun 05, 2006 2:15 am**

OK, so I got roped in by watching it the other night on NBC, and have spent the day watching the marathon on USA. I've only seen bits and pieces before, but Paul has watched it steadily.

Has anyone else gotten into this show?

Saw a fragment of it last night on Sci-Fi. I think I'll try watching it.

I saw the 4400 last year (or was it the year before??) then lost track of it. I didn't know it was still on the air. I thought it went off shortly after its debut!! The premise and acting hooked me, but I was dissapointed because it seemed to vanish from USA. I'll have to check for DVDs since I don't get sci-fi channel anymore.

It's on USA, Sunday nights at 9:00 PM EST.

For those watching, all I'll say is I don't trust Isabelle. She was manipulative even while still in the womb. I don't think her aging affect on Lily was accidental at all...

I've seen every episode. It has been running... um 3 years I think.

Great. I don't have USA anymore either. Since there are three years of episodes to catch up on, I'll definitely look for the DVDs.

Is Isabelle the little girl? I remember a creepy girl who seemed to be the most affected by the aliens. I think she had a lot in common with them.

Well, she was a little girl, but I think you're referring to Maia. Isabelle is the daughter of Lily.

Okay. I do remember Maia. Thanks!

I watched season one back in '04, and then it went off the air... for a year! So they've been doing one season a year. Went out and bought the DVDs of Season One a few months ago. I really do like the show.

Two things bother me of late:

Spoiler

1) Isabel, Matthew and Shawn (which sounds like an old '60s song)-- I was ready to applaud USA for having Shawn say to Isabel, "This isn't happening." I thought, Wow, for once, on TV, people actually decide not to have sex! (Don't get me wrong; I'm not a prude or anything... but how predictable would that have been, after the father talks to him and all?) It would be nice to see just one show where they decide not to.

So I tune in last week, and Isabel's all over Shawn. He pushes her away, and I'm thinking, Wow, maybe they didn't yet. Good for USA; there's still time... then he says, "No, I can't handle another round right now."

So, okay, predictable. Now he's gonna' have to explain to her dad. Blah.

2) What the heck is going on with the people who control the 4400 (from the future)? Why are they pulling these kids away from the people they just bonded with? I know, they explained it... but I have to admit, my stomach kind of turned when the show last week ended with Maia lying on a table with tears running from her eyes, scared to death, being told her mother will forget her and she'll forget her new mom... and her pitiful call of "Mommy!" I almost couldn't stand it. Now where's this gonna' go??

But I'm hooked, so you know I'll keep watching.

I do wonder what Isabel is supposed to do with her abilities, which seem stronger than anyone else's.

Holy thread resurection Batman!!

So I bought the box set with all four seasons anly to find out that the show was canclled at season 4 not concluded.
Bloody gutted!
When I first started watching this i thought it was just a poor mans X-Files but it really grew into its shoes and 2 episodes into season 4 is better than ever, much darker sexier show this final season.
The writers strike claims another victim

I watched this show until it 'disappeared'. They had a really good concept and some good storylines but as you said.. the writers strike I think did this one in.

Posted: **Wed Dec 03, 2008 5:32 pm**

Same thing happened to me right after I bought Season 4 on DVD. We got a cliffhanger ending and... that's all, folks.

Still, a good 4400-like show that I'm into these days is "Heroes". Check it out if you haven't. In fact, it was running while "The 4400" was still on, and I would sometimes get characters from the shows mixed up. No worries now! (I love Hiro Nakamura!!)
