I haven't seen anything much on it, but do you get the feeling that the 9 seems to be the
ota version of 4400?

Rob Jensen...
Saw an edited version of the pilot of Heroes at Comic-Con. IMO, it
has about as much to do with The 4400 as The Fantastic Four have to do
with Superman. They're simply both very much valid and different
takes on the superhero genre.

mikeha.ca...
We've only ever seen 1 4400 episode where the character acts like a
superhero (1x02 - The New & Improved Carl Morrissey).. I'm hoping
Heroes will have the characters acting more like traditional
superheroes than the 4400 does.

I think you might be thinking of NBC's "Heroes," which did make me
think of "The 4400" in terms of normal people suddenly getting
superhuman powers.

"The Nine" is a bank-robbery series and bears no resemblance to
anything in "The 4400."

~consul...
Oh, right. Heroes is the one I'm thinking of. Is The Nine seems to be like the cancelled
show about that one crime seen from multiple perspectives, the commercials had the guy
falling out of the window?
