Kudos to USA for the ratings win and rightly so. The premiere was incredible.

Oh man, this show is AWESOME. It's the quickest hour I spend all week.

It's good but The Grid on TNT is better, I dont know why that isnt getting any recognition.

Last Sunday's episode was great, but during the previews, something was said to the effect of, "Next Sunday, the mystery will be solved."

Does anybody know if this is just the season finale, or is the entire series over? Could this have been just a miniseries? I sure hope not...I think The 4400 is the best show on TV right now.

More episodes may be ordered. It is more of a limited run series than a miniseries, really, considering the fact that it has been airing weekly, rather then in day after day routine for miniseries.

I heard on USA's boards that 13 more episodes are being ordered. Cross your fingers, fans.
