Does anyone see a resemblance between "The 4400" and "Heroes". Last week in The 4400 (lbt's timezone, UK Oct 2006 for the rest of you) we had a mind-reading 4400, a body-shifting 4400, a healing 4400, a time-travel 4400...

You do realize that the 4400 was on long before Heroes, right (about two years and two months)? Heroes is hardly the most original show that ever aired. If anything, the premise for the 4400 is far more creative and intriguing.

Of course Heroes is *so* much better but...

Debatable. The 4400 has some problems, but most of them come down to the fact that I dislike the low budget feel it has, which I'm sure is out of necessity. Thinking back on it, I think I like The 4400 more as a series, mostly for what Bitt said. Like the X-Men, it's more about acceptance than the mythology. Because of this and because of the premise of the show, the writers have thought of some very interesting powers. It's unlikely that Heroes will spend an entire episode on someone who can smell pheromones and tell whether two people were meant for each other.

There's also an episode of The 4400 that I like far more than any episode of Heroes, and that's the one where Tom is given an entire life in a split second. I watched that one a few times.

*edit*

Wait a minute, are you talking about a rerun of The 4400? The new season hasn't started yet. You had me freaked out because I had the premiere down on my calendar for this coming Sunday (June 17th).

So basically what you're saying is that The 4400 copied Heroes, even though the episode you're watching aired before Heroes premiered?
