Argh ... I didn't realize it was just a mini-series. Pretty good so far. I don't understand how they'll come to any sort of conclusion in 5 episodes.

July 23, 2004 -- USA has a hit on its hands with "The 4400" - and there could be more episodes on the way.

The six-episode, sci-fi-flavored series shattered cable records in its July 11 debut and did well in its second outing - leading network and show officials to begin thinking about a second season.

"The concept has legs and the story engine has a couple of cops on the case so we know where it goes after six episodes," says Jeff Wachtel, USA's executive VP of longform and series entertainment.

"Our intention was always to treat it as an 'event' and as an extended pilot for a series."



Although there's nothing definitive yet, it's also likely that, should USA renew "The 4400," it would also air on one of USA's sister networks in what's called "re-purposing."

USA is now part of the NBC-Universal family, whose other networks include SCI FI and Bravo. Bravo's "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" has been "re-purposed" on NBC, while USA's "The Dead Zone" also aired on SCI FI.

"The 4400" revolves around thousands of people who've vanished over the last 50 years - only to suddenly reappear after a brilliant flash of light near Mt. Rainier in Washington State.

The series averaged 7.4 million viewers in its premiere and was the highest-rated, most-watched new series premiere in basic-cable history.

Last Sunday's episode fell slightly to 5.6 million viewers, an average percentage dropoff for a new show's second episode.

"This is a clean and compelling concept so [the viewer] gets it right away," says Wachtel.

"And it's a big idea with a human face to it. Internally, we called the show 'Life Interrupted' ... it's the combination of a big concept and the humanity behind it that seems to be striking a chord."

"4400" executive producer Ira Behr says there's been some thought given as to where the show's plot could go if it's renewed for a full season.

"Of course, among ourselves, we theorized where we could go [with the show]," he says. "And there are certainly places I believe the show can go that are extremely interesting.

"If we felt it was 'six-and-out' [episodes] it would be difficult to get a jones for the show," he says. "But we could keep extrapolating various paths."

Behr feels the show's appeal to a more diverse audience - rather than only appealing to sci-fi fans - is a key to its success.

"It seems like everyone has an opinion on this subject," Behr says. "Basically it's about something that happens to people - there's not a lot of hardware and jargon involved and people don't feel gun-shy about tuning in ...they understand it."

SPOILERS BE HERE!

****** SPOILERS ******

So, that finale was awesome. I *so* wanted the fetus to kick ass in this episode, and it did!

My thought is that the baby will take the place of the "alien" liaison that was living in Kyle.

Also, did anyone notice in the third episode that the guy who was behind all the serial killings was abducted on the same date that Jordan Collier was? I thought that that was going to somehow be important, but they never mentioned it aside from showing the date on screen. Certainly the fact that he seems to be "evil" might mean that that date has some significance that we'll find out about later.

In any case, I definitely like the way things ended. Nothing wrapped up, paving the way for a full-blown series.

::MORE SPOILERS ALERT::

horiz you liked that ending? reminded me of that stupid fucking movie Contact where you wait the whole movie to find out the alien takes form of the dumb slut's dad. I thought the last episode could of been done so much better and actually came away rather disappointed by it. I was however overall impressed by the short series overly enjoying i'd say 3 out of the 5 episodes and am hoping that they make the next season worked. (if you watched the marathon to the final episode you would know between episode 4 and the last episode the announcer said something along the lines of "and now the 4400 season finale." So, I guess it's official now

tvtome lists it as a returning series. JOY

And that finale kicked ass... if we see a full blown series, that is..

Otherwize its not as much of the ass kicking type!

Well, I may as well bump this thread as I just started (and closed) a new one... The fucking show has only just aired in the UK but ep1 was pretty decent. Certainly very "X-Files" but that's no bad thing I suppose. I'm glad it's a miniseries though, it's not really original enough to warrant a full-blown TV series.

something strange, i still have the 5 episodes that aired on my dvr, but reading through this thread, someone from USA networks said there were six episodes... did i miss something or did he?

the person from the USA network is smokin a lil something good, only 5 eps have been aired, last i heard they were still considering the series or not.

There were 5 episodes, but the first one was 2 hours ... so that's 6 "hours" of television.

And Neversoft, regarding your post in that thread you closed ... no worries. It's not X-Files at all. It looks that way at the beginning ... but it's not. By the time you're done with all 5 episodes, you're going to want it to be a full-blown series. Which is good, because they'll probably be making one.
