The 4400 is one badass show... I love it...

Can't believe there isn't more attention to it here in the forums...

bboisvert 06-20-05 10:29 AM

Does USA re-run these at other times?

I screwed up and missed this one... :(

nothing much happened after that. He stood in front of the mirrior and looked at himself. then we see this spooky time distortion thing where other images of him showing pain and agony are superimposed on top of the original one. then we see that he kind of has a flashback of the scene where he was at the party drinking and then flash forward to where he was in front of the store with the broken window.

I think they were implying that he may have some powers.

I liked the episode overall. I was obvious from the start that something like that was going to happen (referring to the people starving).

My only quib is that they are starting to make these situations tie up too nice and neat each episode. I man sure they have the story arc of the couple on the run, the one at the 4400 center and then the one with mya.

I hope they bring back some of the past stories with other 4400 people and tie them in somehow.

SmithsGuy 06-20-05 01:41 PM

Regarding the "couple on the run," are they basically running from the Cult not NTAC? But felt that NTAC registry would give them away to the Cult? That bit has me a little confused.

Also, I hope it doesn't become a "[krypto]freak...ah 4400 of the week" show. All wrapped up with two minutes on whether that person(s) power(s) helped or hurt the future...

Ciao,
Smithsguy

Yeah, I think the couple is pretty much just running from Jordan, but I'm not too sure why they would feel the need to run from NTAC.

Last night's show gave me a Thinner feel right from the beginning. My attention is starting to wander, hopefully there some more interesting storylines in the works, or the current arcs start to show a little interesting development.

Next week: The 4400 guy who can give you all cable channels....for free! But at what price?

In two weeks: The 4400 woman who can communicate telepathically....with gophers! But at what price?

runner001 06-20-05 04:10 PM

i'm sensing a bit of sarcasm...the price is gonna cost you!

Yes.. several times.
Make sure you pad it.
I have it padded to run 5 min longer and missed most of next weeks previews.

IamHydrogen1 06-20-05 06:42 PM

The Holographic Doctor makes an appearance!

Overall, I'd have to give a :thmbsdwn: to this episode after the great start to the season.

Manco 06-20-05 07:40 PM

Why didn't that guy just sick little Damien on that A**hole?

OH yeah, I just remembered that the ending scene where Kyle is looking into the mirrior there is a deep, distorted voice in the background. It kind of reminds me of Donnie Darko and the bunny.

Late to the party but I just watched the first 3 episodes. I'm hooked. Other than a few minor nuances, it is pretty solid so far. Not terribly original, it definitely has an Xfiles meets Xmen vibe. Tom & Diana are no Mulder & Scully.

Daniel-A 06-29-05 10:58 PM

Can someone care to tell me what happened at the very end of the last episode? My VCR didnt get it all. May have been seconds or minutes, but the last thing I saw was the violinist, right after woman (I suck with names) had just finished saying she thought Mya would like piano lessons.

They panned to a wide overhead shot of the house behind them with violen music from the kid playing to blackout and credits.

Guess it wasn't as much time as I thought it may have been. :) Unless there was something on the rooftop sayings "Spoilers for the rest of the season listed here." :) Thanks for the info.

riley_dude 06-30-05 11:16 AM

I liked last season but this season it underwhelming for me. At least they give you answers occasionally. "Lost" should take a hint.

bboisvert 07-18-05 10:27 AM

Is anybody watching/discussing The 4400?
 
I thought last night's episode was really great -- easily the best of this somewhat mediocre season.

I came here to read the thread, and there isn't one. :hscratch: Am I the only one still watching?

Chew 07-18-05 10:49 AM

I'm still watching, it's just not a show that inspires enough passion that I get annoyed if there isn't a thread.

I haven't watched last night's yet, but I still FF through all the "StarChild" subplots (I get visions of V: The Series).

kvrdave 07-18-05 10:50 AM

I have not found the season to be mediocre. I am loving it. Again, my biggest worry is that there are only about 4378 potential shows left. :(

runner001 07-18-05 10:52 AM

i still watch it, but since i'm away from home right now, i have all the shows saved up to catch up on later. can't wait to watch them marathon style.

Doc MacGyver 07-18-05 11:13 AM

I'm enjoying it, and while last night's ep was ok, I get sick of hackneyed sci-fi concepts rehashed all the time. How many times have we seen the main character of a show suddenly find that this fantastical reality that he lives in is actually a self-made delusion?

Buffy did it competantly. DS9 did it wonderfully, and TNG did it brilliantly. I feel it's been explored enough. No more.

I watch it, but discussing it is something else entirely. It's just so "meh" every week.

IamHydrogen1 07-18-05 11:55 AM

I'm watching it, but I thought it has been weak except for the 2-hour season premiere.

The sub-plot with Sean helping out the street urchin makes me want to scratch my eyes out.
