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  |
Yeah, that's cool, I really didn't think you were attackin the show or anything. I was just pointin out how original it is. And yeah, in a way I can see the similarity between NTAC and the FBI's X-Files. But I think the character and the thrust of the show is very different. I've only seen a handful of x-files episodes so I don't know, maybe it has more similarites than I know.
That really was the main reason I didn't watch heroes, I saw it as a copy of the 4400 and other shows like it and I don't expect it to measure up so I'm not really willing to give it a chance.
