I've been watching the show since the beginning. It starts back up in June on the USA Network. There's also recaps over at 4400guide.com. I like to read those to get caught up to speed. I think the character, Jordan Collier is very Christ-like in a way.

I don't think its better than LOST, but it's interesting.
