The fourth and final season of THE 4400 pushed the series forward into new directions while leaving the viewers hanging
at the end as they wonder what would have come next if USA had brought the series back for a fifth season. THE MARKED,
NO EXIT, and the series finale are the high points of the season. The change in Jordan Collier is startling and yet
frightening. He wants tio advance the cause of The 4400 and people having the choice to have abilities (half fo the
people who take the shot die). We finally learn why NTAC Agent Diana Skouris never developed 4400 abilities. Isabelle
gets her powers back only to have make some choices which will change the future in one direction or the other. Too
bad NTAC Agent Tom Baldwin loses Alana- the love of his life (who ends up in the past)- and I wonder if he will take the shot.
