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

True 4400 fan
I'm sorry, I plead addiction, but I have loved this series from its first episode. And I still remain true to it. The writing is excellent, the characters are believable and you can really connect with them. But the best part is the mystery of the whole thing. All the questions that bubble to the surface of your mind when you're watching the show. It keeps you on the edge of your seat, hungering for more. It is a show that really makes you think, and I love that. Some people didn't like this particular season as much as the first two because they didn't understand that the show is still climbling toward the climax. Things aren't picture perfect, but they ARE interesting. My only complaint is that it is too short, here is the list of episodes....
1. The New World, Part 1
2. The New World, Part 2
3. Being Tom Baldwin
4. Gone, Part 1
5. Gone, Part 2
6. Graduation Day
7. The Home Front
8. Blink
9. The Ballad of Kevin and Tess
10. The Starzl Mutation
11. The Gospel According to Collier
12. Terrible Swift Sword
13. Fifty-fifty

Set in stone
Season three was very good - though it made the writers theory set in stone (as in they are from the future, religious twist, etc)...
The first two were based more on ones perception on how the events unfolded, but the third was pretty clear where the writers were coming from.
It was a very intereseting season, and I am anxious for season 4.

Slow Start, but we are Really Moving Now
The 4400 started a little slow for me, but some how they got me hooked. The diverse characters and complimenting story lines have created a tantalizing drama. The twists are intense and have indeed caught me off guard. I look forward to the next installment in the series, and truly hope the writers will continue to throw a couple curve balls our way.
