The 4400 Season 1 Disk 2

Episode 3: Becoming
The flavor of the week this week is serial killer. Not just ol' serial killer, but one who convinces others that they're the real serial killer, and all he has to do is talk to the person for a little bit.
We also get introduced to Jordan Collier, one of the 4400 who is using his gift to get rich and ostensibly help out everyone else from the 4400. Of course, being the good television viewer that I am, I can recognize this kind of setup a mile away. We know this Collier's good will turn to no good, and then in the next season, the no good will have been revealed through some secret to be good after all. That kind of thing.

Episode 4: Trial by Fire
There's a new sheriff in town, pilgrim. And he's here with carte blanche to do whatever the hell he wants. Like you might expect this character to be, youngish, good looking, a coldhearted prick, there was something added to show us this was not the character to root for, and that something is that he is completely incompetent. He's only seeing to further his career so he doesn't think much about the ramifications of his own actions. He can't quite seem to believe that the other agents aren't lining up to back him.

Episode 5: White Light
I'm not sure if I should be proud of the show for making us think that something was a red herring but it really wasn't and therefore my viewing enjoyment is enhanced incrementally in that area, or if I should be pissed off because I'm doing so much extra work to make the show interesting. Like he can't possibly be the answer because that's too obvious, so it must be a red herring. But then towards the end when it's obvious that the red herring is not a herring of any kind and I decide to credit the director and cast for making me think that something that wasn't a red herring actually was a red herring just to throw us off because it wan't a red herring at all. If none of this made sense to you, to not worry

The 4400 Season 1 Disk 1

Episode 1: The Pilot
The premise of the show is great, 4400 people who have disappeared between 1946 and the present day, suddenly reappear en masse. For each of the returning 4400, no time has passed at all. Now, let them loose back into the population, stir and you have a t.v. show. Plus, only five of the returnees had their story told, so, we could have 880 episodes of just the first bit of time back and we wouldn't even have to repeat a character. Considering that this season was only 5 episodes long, that's 126 seasons of the show right there.
Of course, that assumes that all of the characters are roughly the same when it comes to being interesting and what are the odds of that? Plus, they might actually follow one of the characters throughout their story.

Episode 2: The New and Improved Carl Morrissey
We're still following four of the five from the pilot episode, so much for my plan for how many shows they could get out of this concept. Does this also mean that each episode will have a new cast-member-of-the-week? And if so, are they all going to be redshirts?
We're following, Maya an eight year old clairvoyant who may or may not have had these tendencies before she was taken (maybe I'm reading too much into a scene with her in the pilot), we have Sean who is 17 and can heal with his touch, we have Lily a 30-something mom-to-be that has a baby who can take empathic readings of a place and convey them to Lily, and we have Richard who is a man in his mid-thirties and hasn't yet revealed his ability. The other two members of the 4400 that have been shown also have abilities. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the majority if not entirety of the 4400 have some kind of special power.
