Default The 4400, anyone see it?

Ive seen the pilot and second episode, I thought it was pretty good sci-fi.
Anyone else see the show?
Its not shown in Canada yet so you'll have to check it out via newsgroups or torrent.

www.the4400.com

Basically, people started disappearing in the 1930s. Then in 04, a comet does a flyby past Earth and suddenly veers course towards Seattle and hits the ground. When it does, all of these people appear and it turns out that 4400 people have disappeared over the last 60 years. None of them have aged a day since they were taken and some of them have superpowers(not as blatant as Xmen powers though). The two main characters are Homeland Security agents, kind of a Mulder/Scully thing and they are trying to figure out what is going on and each has a personal stake in finding out the truth behind what happened to the 4400.

Thats the basic premise in a nutshell, its worth the download so check out the pilot. It got the highest ratings ever for a cable show premier.

its not bad, kinda interesting, but i dunno what started off with a lot of promise in the first couple of episodes seems to be dragging in the third one. still its kills most of the stuff on the T.V these days so its fefinitely worth watching.

Too bad there's only 6 episodes in total - that's all they ordered. But I heard it does come to some type of conclusion then.

That and Battlestar Galactica 2k4.....why must we always wait? We don't get anything on our networks - I should stop paying for cable!

Haven't watched this yet, but might: have they explained why only some of the 4400 who returned got superpowers, and not all of them? That'd kind of suck if you came back without anything, eh?

Just watched the first 3 episodes...
First thing that came to mind: Lily's husband is a real bastard!
Second thing: Lily's eyes are kind of funny looking...but I really like that about her as well!
Third thing: The songs in the episodes are great! But I have no idea who sing them.

did a search on "the 4400" message board... and this is the results they yielded:

http://66.77.88.171/ubb/usa/cgi-bin/...sion&number=52

my original link didn't work as expected... so just search for "music"

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I just started watching this and it's pretty good. I had gotten the first three episodes when this thread was first posted but I never got around to watching them till now. I was starting to worry b/c I can't find episodes 4 & 5 anywhere, but fortunately, the Space Channel just started airing this show I think last week. Saturdays at 5pm pst. So tomorrow night is the 2nd half of the pilot.
