The 4400 starts again soon

- May

So here’s a few tidbits from the first five episodes of my favorite summer show, “The 4400,” courtesy of SpoilerFix.com.
The Wrath of Graham: Airs June 17. A student named Graham is surprised when his classmates agree to play any sports he wants. Kyle gets a new job: helping out the 4400 as legal aid. Shawn is a patient at the hospital and has terrible convulsions.
Fear Itself: Airs June 24 (your humble writer’s birthday, which she shares with former Gov. George Pataki). People start seeing what they fear most, but no one else can see it. Tom’s investigation leads him to a bank as a few of the victims used the bank’s ATM before the attacks. Isabelle may get a better living situation if she agrees to be injected promicin.
Audrey Parker’s Come & Gone: Airs July 1? 70-year-old Audrey Parker, via voice over, explains her past and why she decided to take promicin at such a late age. She develops the power of astral projection, but can only project herself at 25 years old.
The Truth & Nothing But The Truth: Airs July 8? April Soukris (Diana’s sister), having been on the run for four months after taking promicin, comes back and uses her new power to help Tom and Diana on a case.
Try the Pie: Airs July 15? Shannon Reese has the ability to remove stress in people’s lives by listening to their problems, and teaches Tom about her neighbors, who all took promicin, courtesy of their town, Evanston, Ill. (home of my alma mater, Northwestern University)

Cannot wait for The 4400’s return! It’s one of my favorite shows… I love the concept, which NBCs Heroes seems errily similary to. I hope this season is abit of an improvement over last season, even though it was still better than most shows.
Yeah, Heroes definitely has that 4400/X-Men feel to it. I like the 4400’s conceit, though, that the reason these folks developed these powers is because some people were trying to avert disaster in the future. And that it wasn’t just the next stage in evolution, though that’s also an interesting idea.
We know exactly why these folks have these powers, but this season should be good as we see the spread of promicin and the powers it brings. One of the best things about the show is how each season has had a completely different underlying plot focus that’s tied up by the end of the season (i.e., Isabelle being incapacitated last season, learning why the 4400 were taken at the end of the first season).
