Do you note similarities between Heroes and the 4400? It's just me or in both shows there are people that have special gifts and they try to ude them in order to save the world. The only difference i can tell is that in one show they get the powers from the future and in teh other is a kind of genetic evolution. Don't get wrong i love both shows but i think they are very similar as well.

I've been watching Heroes lately. I've heard of the 4400 and I've downloaded the whole seasons but I haven't had time to watch them yet. I heard that the 4400 is about people returning to earth from an alien abduction several decades later and turned out to have some kind of special powers. But some people say that Heroes is better than the 4400. I haven't watched the 4400 so I don't have the right to say so. But I'll find time to watch it though. =)

I hope you can watch both series, and compare them. Both series have their own charm, i think both are very good, i've followed both and i love both. The only point is that they are very similar. Once you watch everyone, you won't want to stop watching them. Greets

I agree that they are both similar. I began watching "The 4400" first, and then fell in love with "Heroes". I've always liked these kinds of sci-fi series, so I was definitely hooked from the first episodes. I miss "4400" when will it be back on?

I'm not sure what shows your talking about. I don't watch either of them. But I do know that there are a lot of shows that are almost the same. They may have the same writers. This happens quite often. I just wanted to respond to your discussion to help you earn some money. The more responses you get the more money you earn.

You are so right, quality is more important than quantity. Keep the good discussions coming and I will keep responding to them. Good luck, my friend.

Thank you for your concern. I'm gonna try to get more responses in this publication and try to start some other interesting others. I'm more concerned about quality rather than quantity. Thanks anyway, and we'll be trying to get into the money in time, discussions that generates polemic, public interest, hot issues, etc. are going to generate the responses we're looking for.

I do find the similarity of taking advantage of psychic abilities and utilizing them in destructive ways by an organization of people, both genders noted, and gald that the character developments go much further in Heroes than in the 4400. The alien kidnapping concept is old but valid, I don't deny that the people who claim some form of 'abduction' was experienced by them whom am I to say "naw it did not happen, your a liar". Not my place but this is: to expand on the idea that we are not alone and through the people with psychic gifts these ideas are manifesting into great mini-series says something about powers that be. Collective consciousness works in miraculous ways and look how the creation of each show has a number of people discussing its development . . .

I've been seen both seiries for a while, and i do like heroes the most, but if you get to understand the 4400, you're gonna find it very good. Greets

yeah i agree that the shows are very much alike but in 4400 they were taken by aliens so to speak and then when they came back everyone knew eventually that they had special powers and they were marked as a 4400 "freak" so to speak,in heroes its all about genetics and everyone is trying to hide their powers from everyone,except the bad guys of course

You've got a point. but think about this: In both series (if you don't take the fact of the abduction) the characters get their powers so suddenly, that it gets hard to believe that's genetics. In both cases people with powers try to hide them, the reason changes, but the facts are all the same. Greets

4400 is kinda slow paced and without lot of cool actions,Heroes is more like comic style,full of fight and chase. And,they both have lot of suspense.
