Episode Discussion 3.01 & 3.02 "The New World" - Aired 6/11/06 (USA-US)

From the official "The 4400" website (http://www.the4400.com):

The 4400 returns Sunday, June 11 at 9/8C with a two-hour premiere event picking up mere seconds after baby Isabelle became a beautiful 20-year-old woman. Her father, Richard, must deal with her sudden transformation, and an even more surprising change in Lily. Meanwhile, Tom and Diana pursue a radical 4400 organization called the Nova Group that may also have ties to Shawn and The 4400 Center.

I really liked this episode, it was a good season opener.

One thing I hate, though, is how they got rid of Lily like that. I mean, I guess I can see why they did it, it will probably have an impact on the show and Isabelle, but Lily was my favorite 4400. So I'm a little pissed.

I do like Isabelle though. Great acting from that girl, and there's a lot of chemistry between her and Shawn. Plus she's hot. I do REALLY hate that guy who's there at the Center, helping Shawn. Dunno his name but his voice annoys the HELL outta me.

I agree it was a fantastic season opener! Yeah it's a pity Lilly can't return thanks to some "Business" thing, she was such a good character, but they did create a excellent storyline to cover it, Lilly getting older because Isabelle got older and having them linked like when Isabelle gets something Lilly looses it, I thought it went very well with the fact that her and Isabelle have been shown to be linked.

And definitely agree with you the actress playing Isabelle is great, shes a really good actress, and she is totally hot. I love that her character is trying to understand good and evil, and that she is going to struggle with that.

I'm not mad on that guy who is helping Shaw run the 4400 centre, his voice is really annoying, but I also can't figure out what he's after at all!!

I thought there was also some good twists on the storyline, I wasn't expecting Gary to have lead them in the wrong direction, and the "attack" that happened on the 19 was a excellent idea! there was also some good funny bits, I laughed a few times.

One thing though, what was that at the end that was happening to the mad scientist guy, did he pull out a tooth??

[prydain]

Yep he pulled out a tooth.

[Black Eye Guy]

Ah right! Well what about Isabelle not having any already formed ideas about what she has to do, cuz it seemed like when she was in the womb it appeared she knew what she was doing, manipulating people and all. I herd one person suggest that maybe it wasn't a vision from Isabelle that collier saw, but his own power?

[prydain]

That's an interesting theory....who knows though.

Isabelle seemed to get more naive now that she's older, lol. She seems very innocent and child-like to a point, but it could just be a farce. If I even used that word correctly...? haha

[Vilandra]

Agreed - Isabelle seems much different now. And what happened with the actress who played Lily? I was hoping they were going to do another back from the dead thing with her lol

And is that guy running the 4400 center an actual 4400?

There was a Sci Fi Wire story about that, there was a contract issue I think. Pretty sucky though, Lily is awesomeness.

And is that guy running the 4400 center an actual 4400?

I've been wondering that too.

[Black Eye Guy]

Yeah there were legal issues over Lilly's return, In the interview the guy who made it said he told the network what his plan for next season and they turned around and said, that Lilly was not returning.

I definitely think something is up with the adviser guy, He definitely knows more then he lets on, and it's never been said he was one of the 4400.
