Season two of The 4400 ended not with one, but two shockers. First, baby Isabelle turned into a 20-year-old overnight (now played by Megalyn Echikunwoke). Then, it was revealed that Jordan Collier (Billy Campbell), who was believed dead, is still alive. The third year begins with more surprises. While Isabelle was aging, so was her mother, Lily (Tippi Hedren, replacing Laura Allen), who fast-forwards several decades. Suffice to say, her husband, Richard (Mahershalalhashbaz Ali), is not pleased. Also, the Nova Group, a splinter organization within the 4400, has started to eliminate those they perceive as their enemies—including their own. The 4400's third season was widely considered its weakest, but solid ratings justified a fourth. The pace doesn't pick up until Jordan's return--in real life, Campbell took off 13 months to sail the world--but the concept and the characters remain intriguing. For instance, Shawn (Patrick Flueger), head of the 4400 Center, embarks on a relationship with Isabelle, while his uncle, NTAC agent Tom (Joel Gretsch), gets bad news about wife Alana (Karina Lombard) and good news about son Kyle (Chad Faust). Dennis Ryland (Peter Coyote), meanwhile, moves from the NTAC into the private sector where he continues to micro-manage the 4400. Recurring characters include Gary Navarro (Sharif Atkins), who joins the Nova Group, Dr. Burkoff (Jeffrey Combs), who injects himself with promicin--the mysterious substance associated with the 4400--and the sympathetic Tess (Summer Glau), who assists in his attempt to see if he can develop similar powers. Guest stars include Alice Krige (Star Trek: First Contact) as a woman with a special interest in Diana's adopted daughter Maia ("Gone") and Brian Dennehy (Cocoon) as Tom's father ("Blink"). As with season two, three features commentary from the cast and crew plus a trio of featurettes. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

 The 4400 - The Complete Third Season November 27, 2008
Marshall L. Royse
If you like the 4400 the 3rd season is a must have. It is probably the best season of the series.
 Every Bit As Good As Season Two November 16, 2008
Pat Shand (Freeport, NY USA)
In its third season, "The 4400" delivers another twelve compelling episodes filled with tension, drama, reveals, plot twists, and a whole lot of moral greyness. With the mysterious maturation of Isabelle, the death of Lily, the impending return of a resurrected Jordan Collier, Richard joining Shawn as head of the 4400 center, Kyle arrested, more of Tom's family in trouble with NTAC, and the now villainous Dennis Ryland as head of his own secret organization, it seems like all of the characters have suddenly become major players. Any of them could be fighting for good and any of them could be fighting for evil. At this point, all of the ideas of pure good and pure evil have been thrown out the window in favor of a theme of choices that runs through this season, and the characters do indeed have to make some hard ones.
The acting, which was admittedly pretty bad in the first season, continues to improve. The entire cast is at least competent, and at times excellent. Another improvement was the way that this season handled the long term story arc. The episodes in the second season were probably individually stronger, but this season excelled in executing the bigger, continuing arcs, such as the ever changing Isabelle story line, which was at once tragic and frightening. One thing I thought was a bit off was how they handled the Nova group. I thought they could have been great antagonists if they were more fleshed out, but instead they ended up being used as a plot device to show the true nature of Isabelle and, earlier, how Shawn has compromised the integrity of the 4400 Center. I did, however, think amends were made when Jordan Collier (who was shown to be alive at the end of the second season) finally returned.
Overall, this is a quality season of a very good show. I hope that, by the fourth season (which is also the last, as this series was cancelled) that we will get at least a few answers, because this is quickly becoming a story that I'm investing myself in.
8/10
The stakes are higher, and it's not over yet August 18, 2008
Viva (So. Cal.)
I watched this in spurts, but was still able to keep up with it pretty well. The storyline is as cohesive as ever, as the 4400s deal with various abilities, some of which are quite dangerous and can be easily exploited by them or by others.
The cast is solid, particularly Joel Gresch, as well as Jeffrey Combs and Summer Glau, better known for their previous work in Star Trek and Firefly/Serenity, respectively. The character of Isabelle grows so powerful that her own father must fear her, while Jordan Collier returns with what may be apocalyptic plans.
We are left hanging in the season finale as the neon green drug is handed out to anyone who wants it, with a 50/50 chance of it stirring up abilities in non-4400s.
Looking forward to the fourth season.
The 4400 second season July 6, 2008
Thingsextreme (Massachusetts)
The story was great, as the first season was, but the price was way too much for the very short, two disk, abbreviated season and ending to a series that should have kept running. And to add shipping to that was an insult.
Isabelle made this season!! July 4, 2008
Chuck Mengel (Tyrone, Pa.)
This was by far my favorite season. Not only are the sub-plots more entertaining, but it seemed they picked up on the lagging action of season 2.
The addition of Isabelle gave this series an amazing boost of energy, and I loved the story line about the inhibitors expanding the 4400's powers even more. Also, Jordan Collier returns from the future, and has a devious plan for human kind.
Everything about this season was perfect. Cant wait to watch 4.
