just to counter ome of the review here on 4400 that have title like awesome and what more while this show be beyond terrible . i just finish the first 30 minute of the pilot . that may not be a lot and but it be quite enough . first off i see a bunch of actor deliver what appear to be script . the cliché ridden dialog range from i be worry about you tom and be it suppose to be that bright . the latter refer to a fastly close comet a if the character already saw the episode of this series and suspect it may not be a comet at all but rather an extra terrestrial ball of light make by a wannabe cgi expert who normally do the catering . the intergalactic marble be counter measure with ballistic cgi missile . in clear sight we see the missile hit the object somewhere beyond the moon . not only do it take these missile just a few second to get there and they must have be the size of a small african state to be visible that far away . despite their gigantic size and the sgi missile have no effect and the ball of light conveniently descend in the back garden of our protagonist observatory of stray alien object . it must have have a map . after the ball of light delivers a couple of thousand cgi produce actor and the contest for the bad wooden dialog award continue . some of the cgi actor turn out to be real people and they be hold hostage by homeland security for 3 week be thoroughly interview while none of the returnees remember a damn thing of their trip in the ball of light . i be sure this make for excellent conversation during those interview . eventually the returnees be set free . one of them be a woman who be go for 10 year and think it would be a good idea to visit her daughter and husband after so long . when she get to the house where her husband and daughter live and the screenwriter truly run out of inspiration and quickly down a six pack of tequila flavor beer . see his wife return after be go for ten year and be abduct by alien no less and the husband and in no more than 4 line and tell her that alas thing have change for him and add a hasty orry a if he be send some kid away who try to sell him cooky . without a single real life emotion and the woman turn around and departs . i do not know what the people that find this show even remotely enjoyable be on and but i wouldn not mind try some of it . this be consider good tv . astonishing .
