[edit] Date of Return

The date of return is debatable. The USA website gives July 11, 2004, however on the series August is sometimes mentioned. The writers should have created a fact sheet, among other things, to keep this from happeing. I believe July 11, 2004 was the day the Pilot originally aired.

[edit] Current Count

Can we attempt to figure out how many 4400 are still alive? After the promicin inhibitor scandal, Isabelle and other events, I think we should have a "running count" of alive 4400s. What does everyone else think? --GeoMike 12:49, 11 October 2006 (EDT)

Is there anywhere we can list their returnee #'s? We don't have them for everyone but for some we do. --GeoMike 20:26, 6 December 2006 (EST)

About the numbers - we could add a section to the character template. --The Radio Star 22:47, 6 December 2006 (EST)

[edit] The 4400 Story Arc

I think I'm going to merge the 4400 Story Arc into this article. --The Radio Star 22:52, 20 October 2006 (EDT)

Content of that article: The 4400 Story Arc is the extended and continuing storyline of the series. It encompasses the major points and themes of the series, essentially climaxing in the questions "Who are the 4400? Why were they returned?"

Technologies such as DVD and Tivo have allowed new series to have much longer story arcs than their previous episodic predecesors. Important Elements of the Story Arc

A group of people from the future took exactly 4,400 people from the years 1946 to 2004 and returned them to lake near Seattle, Washington in the summer of 2004.
None of the 4400 aged during this time period, and none remember where they were.
Every one of the 4400 has a 5th nuerotransmitter called promicin, which gives them extra-ordinary abilities.
There are at least two factions in the future fighting a "war for the future" in the past.
Jordan Collier, a relatively wealthy and powerful 4400, creates the 4400 Center, is assinated, and returns to life with a special knowledge of the future.
A large number of people, many of whom in the US government, are afraid of the 4400.
A division of the Department of Homeland Security called NTAC is created.
Isabelle Tyler, the daughter of 4400s Lily and Richard Tyler, is an ever unwrapping mystery.

[edit] Template

Which template should this article be in? I don't want it with Components. --The Radio Star 13:41, 8 November 2006 (EST)

[edit] Show v People

"Those links relate to the show, not the people"

Do we need another article which addresses the show as compared to the people? We certainly have enough material for one, with information from commentaries and special features. I could even merge a couple of the Component articles into it. The only problem would be how to specifically name it, as this article already has the name "The 4400." --The Radio Star 15:51, 9 November 2006 (EST)
