    Save The 4400: The Campaign

    Like This Thread!
    I found this blurb courtesy of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:

    Apart from online petitions and fan mail, there's a seed campaign. The link I provided will lead you those sites dedicated to saving The 4400.

    A) I never equated sunflower seeds with The 4400. If Kevin Burkoff did snack on them quite a bit, it pretty much never made an impression on me.

    B) Too similar to the Jericho campaign. An idea like that might get the network's attention once, but I doubt it'd work a second time.

    Cool I don't remember ever seeing sun flower seeds, anyways hope it gets put back on. Or at least make a mini series to end it maybe 3 2 hour episodes to end it so they can split them up and call them season 5.

    I dunno, I liked the show but the unofficial ending was probably good enough. I would watch more but they really needed a bigger budget.

    I'd rather see SciFi's The Lost Room get jump-started into a new series. I think that mini-series had a lot of potential as a regular series.

    Well, I sent some seeds (probably won't do any good, but it's worth a shot). I don't remember Dr.Berkoff eating lots of sunflower seeds in the show, but I guess they had to find something cheap that they could flood the USA Network mail room with.

    ....personally, I would have chosen green syringes for the campaign!

    The season four finale is alright. But it sure was a downer.
    I'd like another season and/or a finale TV movie to wrap the show up because I'd like to see at least one character get a happy ending.

    They should have done more X-Files-style episodes like they did in season one. Some of their best stories were the ones that had Tom and Diana investigating a new 4400. I did like their multi-story arcs but for those, they really needed a larger budget than they obviously had.

    I guess a movie would be okay if they could somehow answer the big question about the future. But I think it would take at least a mini-series or another season to wrap things up properly.

    As for happy endings:

    Spoiler:

    I was always hoping that Tom would get his wife back before the end.
