Anyone else watching this show, or any thing else from the USA Network? Anyone else get the obvious religious slant to their programming? It's like 'religion lite', religious ideas but made fun and modern to appeal to today's audiences.

When I first saw the title, it reminded me of the Jehovah's Witnesses and 7th day Adventists who claim only 440000 people will ascend into heaven come judgement day.

There are other parallels on the show with modern cults. . .

Yes, I would love to hear what our resident cult expert has to say on the subject, but, alas his ass has been perma-banned. Evil or Very Mad

It is a real good take on cults and new agey stuff, as well as the "rapture" freaks. The beginning is like a reverse rapture.

But why did they kill off the guy who started the cultish 4400 center?

And what sort of demon seed will that little baby turn out to be?

POTENTIAL SPOILER - BUT MAINLY WHAT I THINK WILL HAPPEN












I think that Matt guy who showed up after the head honcho was killed is actually the head honcho...

Thanks. 3 episodes in on AXN and you're giving out spoilers.

Okay I was completely wrong on my prediction..

I watched the season finale earlier today.. decent.. yet I felt cheated that they threw SO MUCH in the ending musical montage..

that being said, ya, I will watch season three for sure...

I am pretty sure I like this show. It's so different. And it hasn't become boring yet, which I was worried about.
