Two hour premiere June 11th
Season Premiere on June 18th

The obscure, but apparently popular series returns once again to the USA Network with much anticipated season three on June 11th. I've never seen this show, nor have I ever sought it out in spite of its unique plot. But "The 4400" a mix of "Taken", and utterly shameless elements ripped from "X-Men" rejoins the story once more as the government is seeking to warn America about the potential war about to brew with humans and the 4400, while they incorporate themselves into society with obvious supernatural powers such as telepathy, and underwater breathing.

You have to wonder what the plans are for these super humans and their inevitable fates in the world. Are they test subjects who found accidental side effects that would benefit them, or have they been equipped by other worldly beings with weapons that could aide in the destruction of civilization at any given moment? Even if the writers do shamelessly rip from other stories and better series, "The 4400" is a very intriguing series--once a mini-series--that understandably garners a large fan base. This isn't just a story of people whom were abducted and returned, these people were returned but with powers, and powers that could either spell doom for the world, or benefit them.

But it's really all up to the owner of the powers, and that makes this new season so much more enveloped in tension. Which one of these beings will decide that their newfound abilities can work in evil ways? Which brings us to Billy Campbell who is always at his best when playing the evil being. You'll have to understand though I've never seen the series, I can not point out who lived, who died, and any major story changes, so all I can tell you is that the fans will surely be in for many surprises.

But judging by this pilot--at its early stages of production, so we can't give anything away--many characters will experience tragic ends, and many theories I've posed come into fruition. Suffice it to say, as someone who went into the series without previous knowledge of the first seasons, it's a fascinating series that I was curious to get into, but for fans, I'm sure this will be a killer season premiere.
