John Doe (2002–2003)

John Doe yet another great series cancelled.

[10/10 · 4 May 2006]

I loved this series! John Doe's encyclopedic knowledge of... well, everything, is just fantastically amusing. He knows near everything, he can drive or fly everything - he's like a Matrix-esquire member of the world, and he makes the world in which the series occurs a highly amusing one. You'll laugh at the random things he'll say.

He may not know who he is, but he knows everything else. He helps the local police department solve missing persons cases, and every episode he learns a little fact that may help him figure out who he is, or where he came from, and that makes the series seem even more involving.

Well, just like most every series I'm fond of, it died out in one season. But thank the gods we still have SciFi to play it for us.

The 4400 (2004–2007)

Excellent ride

[4 March 2005]

I loved the first season, and I can't wait for the second. This series drew me in more because it reminded me of an abduction version of X-Men. Suddenly, these 4400 men, women, and children, who have disappeared from all different times - ranging from the 1930s until recently - are all returned at once. But to make it even more interesting, they are returned with different powers bestowed upon them. Some characters are good, and do good things with their power, some are evil, and what they do makes your skin crawl. But some of them - you just don't know if they're good or evil, and they creep you out the most. All of these different characters, all interacting with each other, and the everyday 'normal' people of Earth make for a very interesting ride, and I cannot get more excited about seeing all the differences in each of them, and how they handle their newfound power in this new world and new time.
