The 4400

"The 4400 is the flipside to Taken, and not just because it has a creepy little girl with an old soul, and not just because it has Joel Gretsch (who was in Taken and who is William Shatner's son-in-law), and not just because it features returned alien abductees. The 4400 is the flipside of Taken because, so far, it avoids the cute suffered a stunning blow to the head and really leans may turn into the science fiction, albeit not very smartly.

If you haven't seen it, the programme is about the mysterious return of 4,400 people who have been abducted over the last 70 years without time passing for them, but it has for everybody else.

After seeing the second episode in this summer mini-series, I was obviously seeing more than is actually there. Really light-weight summer stuff which doesn't expect you to think, because if you think, you'll see how little there is to this show.

    About Kyle. is he really in a coma, or has he been abducted too? because last night, I saw the preview for the next that's coming up in a few days, It looked like Kyle was gonna be taken away. Maybe his soul or spirit got sucked and tooken away except his body. He's probably still in another world and didn't come back. And when Shawn was like doing resusitation on him, he only came back for a few seconds. Maybe kyle is not in his body, he's probably still out there missing and the only one who didn't come back,Usually when people are in a coma for a long time, they move a little and do communication through blinking, but kyle didn't do that. Like i said, Maybe he's been abducted too and didn't return, that's why he or his body are on a ventilator. And when people are out of their bodies, their body would still have pulse and not move at all. So let's just find out.

    When I heard this song I first thought it might be Dido too. It is actually "Worry About You" by Ivy, from the "Long Distance" album. After some further web-searching I found a free download of this song! The direct link is:

    If it doesn't work the main page is:

    ENJOY!!!
