Movie Reviews
4400 Gets Back on Track and Then Gets Cancelled!!!!
Movie Mania | Southern Calfornia | 02/18/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)
"The 4400 had a great premise - the human race has destroyed the world. The future has found a way of going back in time and selecting 4400 people and enhance them with an ability that will help save the world. But it turns out that the 4400 has good abilities and evil abilities. So, the US government sets up a new agency, NTAC to oversee these returnees.
Well that was the original concept but in Season 3, USA decided to give it a darker edge and the show was all over the place. But I am happy say that in the Season 4 that the show started to get back on track. But I am sad to say that there will be no Season 5!
So enjoy the following and final episodes:
The Wrath of Graham - A promicin teenager gets the ability to make everyone like him.
Fear Itself - A person can make your worst fears come true or least make you think that it is true.
Audrey Parker's Come and Gone - A woman acquires the ability to astra project herself. But when she is murdered while projecting, her astral projection tries to lead Tom and Diana to her murderer.
The Truth and Nothing but the Truth - A woman acquires the ability to force people to tell the truth but this could kill her. (Natasha Gregson Wagner - daughter of Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner - guests)
Try the Pie - Tom finds out that Kyle is positive and Kyle flees to Collier's Evanston, a town where everyone is promicin positive.
The Marked - A film director has the ability to make acturate pictures about real life consiracies. But his latest film The Marked is too hot.
Till We Have Built Jerusalem - Collier's followers move to Seattle and build Promise City.
No Exit - NTAC is in shut down with Tom, Diana, Megan, Shawn, Kyle, Jordan, Isabelle, Maia, PJ, Marco and Brady. But no one has any recollection of how they got there. And even worse, the building seems to have a deadly mind of its own.
Daddy's Little Girl - Richard kidnaps his daughter Isabelle in hopes of starting a new life with her.
One of Us - NTAC is pressured to bring in Richard and Isabelle. Burkoff develops a test to determine who will be able to take promicin. Tom has a dream about the 4400. (Look for 24's Penny Johnson Jerald)
Ghost in the Machine - A computer virus invades a company run by a suspected member of The Marked.
Tiny Machines - Isabelle works with Tom to get to Collier. Shawn tries to break out Kevin from Promise City.
The Great Leap Forward - Anyone who meets Danny becomes positive but this leads to many deaths including Danny's mother.
It's too bad that USA decide to end the series here and not give the show a chance to end itself.
Enjoy the final episodes."
I wonder...

"I have to wonder if this show was cancelled because of the wild popularity of the show that directly ripped it off, i.e., Heroes. In my opinion, the WAY the 4400 came by their powers and the WHY of the whole thing is a way cooler storyline than Heroes - I like Heroes, but preferred the 4400. really wish it would've been given a chance to come to a REAL conclusion...."
Great show + fantastic season... Of course it's canceled

"I discovered this show during its 4th season, and was immediately hooked. I love the storyline, and the way they made the characters real and in-depth. I.e. I love the way not all those with powers do well...some suffer tragic ends.
I was really really happy to have found this show, and was looking forward to s5 but I guess that will never happen.
if you love character driven storylines, you should definitely consider this"
A Good Show Gone Before Its Time

"This is one show, like 'Firefly', that was canceled by bean-counters and not the lack of fans. I loved the show since early Season one.
And USA is NBC, so that'll tell you WHY the show was canceled - it was original and decidedly non-mainstream. And NBC can't have that."
The reason I cancelled my cable service.

"The title of this review may make it sound like I hated this show... not so, I found it far more enjoyable than the glut of cheaply made "Reality" shows that are flooding the network programming. I cancelled my Cable after this show was cancelled, due to the irresponsible way networks have been cancelling show after show that I enjoy (Dead like me, Serenity, Angel, Wonderfalls, Joey, Dark angel... add infinitum)with no Viable conclusion. It's like a constant slap in the face to invest a couple years in a show just to have it cancelled because the writers have written themselves into a corner.
I still watch all the shows I like, I just wait until they're on DVD and rent them from Netflix. I can then watch the entire show's run in a couple weekends and I don't have to see a single commercial.
This show was just starting to get really poignant with the new story arcs they opened up, but when they just cancelled it for no reason. I turned to alternatives. I doubt that the networks care that I cancelled my cable, but hopefully enough people will get tired of the networks thumbing their noses at them and follow suit. I understand the need to cancel shows, just do it responsibly. The shows are the network's product. If I continually received imcomplete products from a store, I would no longer shop there. It doesn't have to be a good conclusion, just some closure... Joss Whedon understands this better than anyone. Fox prematurly cancelled Firefly, so Joss made a movie and tied almost everything up. The same thing happened with Stargate Sg-1. ((Networks, pay attention: If you want people to continue to buy your products, quit slapping your customers in the face!)) That's my rant... I leave the fight in your capable hands, because I no longer care what the networks do. Fight the good fight and cancel your cable."
