anyone see "the 4400" last night

[Jasminesmommy]

I thought this movie was pretty good. I only seen the last hour but it was pretty good. I have to catch the first hour later this week. It was on USA network.

 

[sorcerormickey]

We watched it too. It wasn't quite as good as I hoped it would be from the commercials, but we're going to continue to watch. Very interesting concept.

I enjoyed it but missed the first 20 minutes. Could someone fill me in. We started watching at the part where Tom met the female scientist.

Is it being rebroadcast?

 

[minniepumpernickel]

I saw the whole thing. Lanshark, it is a series. I guess it's on again, next Sun.

Weird things start developing with the 4400. This leads us to believe that they aren't what they were when they left.

I like the concept too. Some of the acting was a bit hoaky though.

Oops, you said first twenty minutes.


It begins with the 4400 incarcerated in what looks like a prison for detainees. Homeland security is debating what to do with them. One of the HS officials talks to his nephew, who is one of them. He blames the nephew for his son's mysterious coma.

We also get some background on Lily, and the black guy. We find out that he dated her grandmother in the fifties. We also realize that no one has aged although a lot of time has passed for some. That scary little girl, had been missing the longest.

These are all times it will be on in Indianapolis. It will be on Wednesday at 11pm and Thursday at 7pm Friday at 1pm and Saturday at 11pm it on usa so check your local listings.

It was good-not great. I think Lily's pregnancy will be the interesting twist.

Thanks a bunch Minnie

 

[minniepumpernickel]

Your very welcome!

The only thing that I was really confused about was at the end where the boy visited his cousin. Did he harm the cousin, or cure him? Hopefully we'll find out next time.

 

[oogieboogie]

I think he sucked the life out of his cousin cause when he took his hand off the cousin, he fell back in his coma.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

I stayed up till 1am watching it. Interesting concept. Kind of like "Close Encounters Unleashed".

I don't believe they would release them that soon (IRL) but who knows?

I think the kid was trying to "see" what powers he had and so he could figure out what happened that night. He did wake up and look at him. Not sure if he would have revived or killed him.

 

[minniepumpernickel]

It would have been kind of nice if he had brought him back to life. Especially since one guy has destructive powers.

It was also kind of sad to see that life had really passed most of them by.

I can't believe that I really got into this show.

 

[workinggal]

I think he was reviving him. Remember the scene with the bird?

 

[Robinrs]

Glad to see this thread!

I fell asleep on the last hafl hour!

I was sort of surprised at all of th twists. This is the kind of story I wish I wrote! Imagine all of the stories that could come out of this.

Very Stephen Kingish...

Anything I missed in the last half hour???

 

[Lanshark]

Kind of a cross between X-Files and X-MEN. Looks like everyone had different powers.

Lanshark: Kind of a cross between X-Files and X-MEN. Looks like everyone had different powers.

I was thinking the same thing!!! When I saw Sean fight with the bully I thought to myself Sean is like Rouge except I think he can both take life force (the bully kid) and heal (the bird).

I just hope it doesn't get hoakey.....
