Season two of The 4400 ended not with one, but two shockers. First, baby Isabelle turned into a 20-year-old overnight (now played by Megalyn Echikunwoke). Then, it was revealed that Jordan Collier (Billy Campbell), who was believed dead, is still alive. The third year begins with more surprises. While Isabelle was aging, so was her mother, Lily (Tippi Hedren, replacing Laura Allen), who fast-forwards several decades. Suffice to say, her husband, Richard (Mahershalalhashbaz Ali), is not pleased. Also, the Nova Group, a splinter organization within the 4400, has started to eliminate those they perceive as their enemies—including their own. The 4400's third season was widely considered its weakest, but solid ratings justified a fourth. The pace doesn't pick up until Jordan's return--in real life, Campbell took off 13 months to sail the world--but the concept and the characters remain intriguing. For instance, Shawn (Patrick Flueger), head of the 4400 Center, embarks on a relationship with Isabelle, while his uncle, NTAC agent Tom (Joel Gretsch), gets bad news about wife Alana (Karina Lombard) and good news about son Kyle (Chad Faust). Dennis Ryland (Peter Coyote), meanwhile, moves from the NTAC into the private sector where he continues to micro-manage the 4400.
Recurring characters include Gary Navarro (Sharif Atkins), who joins the Nova Group, Dr. Burkoff (Jeffrey Combs), who injects himself with promicin--the mysterious substance associated with the 4400--and the sympathetic Tess (Summer Glau), who assists in his attempt to see if he can develop similar powers. Guest stars include Alice Krige (Star Trek: First Contact) as a woman with a special interest in Diana's adopted daughter Maia ("Gone") and Brian Dennehy (Cocoon) as Tom's father ("Blink"). As with season two, three features commentary from the cast and crew plus a trio of featurettes. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

The stakes are higher, and it's not over yet
I watched this in spurts, but was still able to keep up with it pretty well. The storyline is as cohesive as ever, as the 4400s deal with various abilities, some of which are quite dangerous and can be easily exploited by them or by others.
The cast is solid, particularly Joel Gresch, as well as Jeffrey Combs and Summer Glau, better known for their previous work in Star Trek and Firefly/Serenity, respectively. The character of Isabelle grows so powerful that her own father must fear her, while Jordan Collier returns with what may be apocalyptic plans.
We are left hanging in the season finale as the neon green drug is handed out to anyone who wants it, with a 50/50 chance of it stirring up abilities in non-4400s.
Looking forward to the fourth season.
The 4400 second season
The story was great, as the first season was, but the price was way too much for the very short, two disk, abbreviated season and ending to a series that should have kept running. And to add shipping to that was an insult.
Isabelle made this season!!
This was by far my favorite season. Not only are the sub-plots more entertaining, but it seemed they picked up on the lagging action of season 2.
The addition of Isabelle gave this series an amazing boost of energy, and I loved the story line about the inhibitors expanding the 4400's powers even more. Also, Jordan Collier returns from the future, and has a devious plan for human kind.
Everything about this season was perfect. Cant wait to watch 4.
