------POSSIBLE 4400 SPOILERS-------

Not to turn this into a discussion over the comparisons of one tv series to another Unclejack, i think i must point out that i did not say that the 4400 was the new x-files, i said that it was described as the new x-files, i.e. in other forums and in the media, perhaps i wasn't clear on that

I understand the differences between the shows but there is no arguing over the similarities of 2 government agents (male/female) investigating strange individuals across the country, yes i agree there is more to it than just that (especially in the new series, although we have had conspiracy theories and people from the future with marks behind their ears, not mention an episode called "Ghost in the Machine"!), but there was more to the x-files than alien abducation and in my opinion it's best stories had nothing to do with aliens and do have a similarity to many of the earlier 4400 episodes.

Don't get me wrong, the 4400 is one of the few shows i still really enjoy and i hope it continues to air. As for Heroes, well i can only say watch it then offer your view, don't want to spoil it for anyone but other than having "powers" i see no comparison at all with the 4400
