The 4400's potential reboot sounds promising, but its plot is too "CW-esque"

The Mary Sue

"The abductees in the first run of the series were all of different ages," Kate Gardner says of the original 2004-07 USA sci-fi series. "The youngest was a little girl, while others were in their 50s and 60s at the least. (It’s been a while since I rewatched the show.) The different ages allowed for different dynamics to form. However, by making them all young adults and making it clear that they all are are their reproductive prime, it half gives the game away. The twist in season one that one of the returnees came back pregnant was supposed to be a surprise. Now it’s practically guaranteed that they’ll repeat that plot beat."
