Trivia:

For advertising the show, stock images were purchased from various stock image agencies to create a variety of people to show as part of the 4400 missing people. This was most likely to avoid paying various actors to use their image for the advertisement purpose.

Goofs:

Errors in geography: In the pilot episode, Lily and Richard talk in a coffee shop. At one point, a TransLink trolley bus passes by the window. TransLink is the public transit authority of Vancouver, where this was filmed.

Quotes:

Richard Tyler: [to Lily] I'd give up another 53 years if it meant finding you again.

A Place in Time

Even better on the 4th go-round

Amending my statement as to the greatness of this show, which, I should point out, has been online since '05. Let me reiterate most vehemently: this was by far one of the best shows ever on TV. I think that Heroes is such a corporate fraud of this program. I liked Heroes for a while, but never forget that I knew from the beginning that it was a corporate takeover of the much better 4400. Now I can barely stand it. The plot is all twisted and crazy. The 4400 at least deserves a mini-series followup in which some of those tangled threads are sown up. This is by far one of the best shows ever. Take a look and see. The hero vs. villain plot was really fleshed out in season 4, only to end to abruptly. I know that the writers strike had a part in the shows demise, but still: NBC owns USA and thereby at least could grace us with a replay on SciFi, another NBC holding. They replayed KINGS or whatever its called, and it is no where near this caliber. I say again: mini-series of 4400 to resolve some stuff or else!
