Editorial Review:
Over the last century, thousands of people have gone missing. Suddenly and inexplicably, 4400 missing people are returned, all at once, exactly as they were on the day they vanished. Unclear what this world-altering event means, the government investigates the 4400 to piece together where they've been and why they've been returned. It quickly becomes apparent that their presence will change the human race in ways no one could have foreseen.
Description of The 4400 - The Complete Fourth Season:
There's nothing like a psych-out to shake things up. In The 4400's fourth season opener, everyone has taken the medicine Jordan Collier (Billy Campbell) distributed in year three, and all's right with the world. Then he wakes up from his dream. In truth, promicin helps some and harms others. Soon, Shawn (Patrick Flueger) emerges from his coma and Isabelle (Megalyn Echikunwoke), who tried to kill him, escapes from prison. As for NTAC, agents Tom (Joel Gretsch) still mourns the missing Alana, while Diana (Jacqueline McKenzie) returns to work when she finds out her sister, April (Natasha Gregson Wagner), has taken the shot. As the season continues, promicin-related strangeness accelerates, like the outcast (Cameron Bright) who becomes a messiah--and insists his followers only listen to TV on the radio--or the librarian (Constance Towers) who can astral project. An attractive new NTAC supervisor, Meghan Doyle (Jenni Baird), joins Tom and Diana to monitor the positives and those they affect, including Tom's son, Kyle (Chad Faust), who helps Collier establish Seattle's Promise City, an all-positive community. As ever, shades of grey dominate, and anyone can change at any time. Even an NTAC agent can become one of the Marked.
The fourth year ends with a viral outbreak, followed by the death of a key character. For the most part, though, the conclusion holds out hope for relations between the positives and the rest of the population--if they can stop the Marked in time. Because the USA Network chose not to renew the show, some questions may never be answered. Fortunately, The 4400 went out with both humor and heart. Extra features include deleted scenes, featurettes, a blooper reel, and commentary from creator Scott Peters on "Till We Have Built Jerusalem" and the director's cut of finalé "The Great Leap Forward." --Kathleen C.

The 4400 - The Complete Fourth Season Reviews:
great show 
2009-09-12 - this was a great show super interesting i dont understand how could it be canceled. The final chapter wastn that good i gues is because they had to ended in a rush i dont blame them, but this show deserved a great finale. its so sad. :(. Still i love 4400.
The 4400 Season 4 
2009-09-06 - You can tell this was the last season just btw they rushed it. Unfortunate because the first 3 season were excellent. Is a movie in the making to bring us some sort of closure?
A Powerful End to one of the most Brilliantly Created TV Shows
2009-08-30 - There are many television shows that will never be forgotten, and among these shows are Star Trek, Prison Break, House, Stargate, and 24. There are also groundbreaking, brilliant television shows that have left us too soon such as with Jericho, Journeyman, and Life on Mars, and the 4400 from start to end promised to be one of the most delivered tv shows of Science-Fiction with talented writers, cast, and crew. But this show was only aired for four years, but within those years are we captivated by the fate of the world, who rests with a group of people changed by the hands of the future. And as 4400 people returned to a pivotal time, they struggle with their fate and the challenges of their new lives, and in the face of new dangers and the possible end does this rollercoaster ride of suspense and drama reach its conclusion.
Slightly disappointing,
2009-08-29 - Still great effects, cinematography and all of that but I noticed the slip in storyline and dialogue quality in this season. To be honest, I am a few episodes off finishing the series because I can't bring myself to sit through the show anymore. And I bought this DVD over a year ago. I used to love this show but this season definitely slipped in narrative quality. I would recommend you buy this to add to your collection of 4400 DVD's if the price is good because the first half isn't so bad but you will notice your interest rapidly declines by the final disc possibly mostly due to character inconsistencies.
I'll be generous and give it a 5/10, although I am saddened to do so as it was once my favourite show.
Leaves you wanting more!!!!
2009-08-18 - I really enjoyed this entire series, which has complex characters and storylines that are unexpected and exciting. This last season is one of the best, though they are all good with GREAT writing!!! A must see for true science fiction fans!!
