"The 4400: The Ghost Season" is a new featurette on how the series was born. There’s an interesting little piece of information that Peters spills about the show’s title that I will not reveal here, but it’s pretty funny.
"Promicin: The Moral Choice" reminds me of the fake commercials Lost has for the Hanso Foundation. It’s a fictional advertisement for Promicin. It doesn’t really add much to the series as a whole, and seems oddly out of place.
The last special feature is a conglomeration of deleted scenes from the first three seasons. You’ll want to watch these deleted scenes with each season that they are associated to. I think it would’ve been better had these scenes been added onto the actual season discs, but that seems like too much to ask. You’ll have no idea where to fit in these scenes unless you watch them in order as you watch the season.
Ending Thoughts
The 4400 is one of the best sci-fi shows to ever grace our television screens. But, this set doesn’t really add anything new for the fans of the show. It offers us a bonus disc, but that’s hardly worth justifying the money you spent on the series set. But that’s not to say this set isn’t worth buying. If you’re like me you like to show the networks what a huge mistake they made in canceling certain shows. By buying a set like this, fans can truly get behind their show.
It’s still hard to believe this show is gone, and without a clear ending. The new special features don’t add much about where the show would’ve gone or how many more episodes were needed to finish it correctly. I guess we’ll never know.
