Product Description

Review
"Out of this world" - USA Today"

Product Description
The 4400 broke ratings records when it premiered and the sci-fi drama series continues to go from strength to strength, with the third season currently airing and a fourth commissioned. When 4400 missing people are returned all at once, apparently unchanged from the moments they vanished, the US government launches an investigation into the phenomenon. It gradually becomes clear that the 4400 have returned with strange new abilities, and that their presence will change the human race forever. This official in-depth companion to the first two seasons of the show is packed with behind-the-scenes interviews, exclusive pictures and a comprehensive episode guide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great episode guide, but I'd like even more of what's already here., 1 Nov 2007
By Iqbal Faizer "muldfeld" (Montreal to Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Terry J. Erdmann has chosen a great direction for exactly what he discusses in "The 4400: the Official Companion Seasons 1 and 2" that places this and his previous work for the official "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion" well above episode guides for any other series. This guide has all the right stuff. No offense to the crew, but it didn't waste time on technical details like special effects, stunt coordination, or location shoots. It just focussed on the writers' inspirations and difficulties, the actors' experiences, and the studio and network producers' thoughts. My one complaint about it was that there wasn't enough of what it already had. I just wanted more -- more stories and funny anecdotes from the actors and writers, more discussion by the writers about how they came up with certain ideas, who exactly came up with what, and who wrote what.

One aspect that either wasn't covered or was barely touched upon was the political exploration of the show. In Seasons 1 and 2, The 4400 discusses issues of religion, identity politics among a minority, and the conflict between freedom and security. Just as with Ira Steven Behr's guidance of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," we increasingly find here serious and fair illustration of historical issues that have only come to the fore of the mainstream US media's focus (and only superficially so) in the post-9/11 world. There are certain thematic links between that pre-9/11 series and this one. Later seasons of The 4400 additionally delve into the nature and causes of terrorism, torture, religious fundamentalism, religious and political revolutionary movements (including rarely-expressed doubt among leaders), the comlicated nature of faith (because it's complemented by pragmatism), and conflicting visions of the good society between socialist equality and hierarchical, unfettered capitalism.

Unlike most TV fiction that formulaically posits a conflict between our absolutely good heroes and some inherent evil in "the other," The 4400 increasingly succeeds in mimicking the real world by avoiding absolutes; all the heroes are fallible, and all adversaries have the potential for kindness. It shows quite brilliantly that conflict comes from varying perceptions and interests and not between good and evil, as some world leaders would have us believe. It might be a good idea to explore the political nature of The 4400 in future guides, especially for Seasons 3 and 4, and -- hopefully -- seasons beyond.

It's definitely as much a testament to the show as to Mr. Erdmann's wonderful work that has written a guide leaving me starving for even more insight into this dramatically-realistic and increasingly politically-insightful series.
