I just fast forwarded through that 4400 ep and couldn't find anything like the clip. There's one bit where she talks to somebody through a window, but I didn't notice any similar camera angles. Plus the window was gridded.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

I really don't think that is from 4400 in any way shape or form. It has to be a Universal marketing dealio. I'm not buying the denial, Kevin. That is definitely Summer and I think it is just a piece of viral marketing. Cool, though!

Your tag here.

Somebody on a board somewhere (I'm too lazy to go back and look it up) posited that they thought the psychologist was Nathan. Maybe I'm susceptible to suggestion, but on second and third viewings, it may well be. The physical build seems about right and some of the grunting is reminiscent of War Stories.

At what point did it get established the guy's a psychologist? From what I'm getting, he is a guy and that's about it. Same question as regards the psychicness. Blood seems to suggest his convulsing's the result of something sharp goin' in his torso.

Well, as far as the psychologist bit goes, for me it's 1) the "case study film" feel of the piece 2) white coat 3) pen and paper 4) two chairs at an interview-y table.

Same question as regards the psychicness.

Regarding the psychicness? I guess I may be reading a bit too much into it there, 'cause, you know, River. It does seem like he's struggling against an unseen force however.

Blood seems to suggest his convulsing's the result of something sharp goin' in his torso.

It appears from the film that he pulls his pen out of his neck or torso.

Edit: Also note River's bloody hand.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

It's not blood on Rivers hand, it is chocolate.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

River had just killed an Oompa Loompa.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Light. Light is good. Light enables you to see things.

Without light, all is emptiness. Or Radio, which is like emptiness.

Hee hee hee. Ah, Joss. That looks like something I want to get, Kevin. Thanks.

I may have to seize the cat.

It does sound like him. I heard a lot of people saying it looked like Joss, which seemed like wishful thinking to me - that guy wasn't shaped like Joss in any way, especially his head.

He does have a wedding ring on, though. I think, if it's anyone we've ever heard of, it might be Chris Buchanan.
