Unless, like me, your typing fingers turn into thumbs around brainy, sexy women, this Sunday August 6th at 9 p.m. Eastern you can join BuddyTV for a live chat with Jacqueline McKenzie -- NTAC Agent Diana Skouris -- on The 4400.

McKenzie also recently appeared as the wife of one of the William H. Macy's characters in the Nightmares and Dreamscapes episode: Umney's Last Case. You can ask her how she likes Vancouver, or whether she thinks the writers will give her a new romantic interest, now that she's dumped the kind-but-unsuitable Marco (I think Agent Diana prefers badder boys).

Now, a rotten idea would be an extended fling with Tom (or worse, an episode where some 4400's ability forces them to fall in love -- please no!) -- now that Tom has sent Alanna into hiding -- where he has forgotten her, apparently, as totally as he's forgotten his son in prison -- what is up with that? (Okay, okay, I do know he has mentioned his son once or twice this season. Eh, life goes on. I sort of lost respect for Tom while he spent so much time using Alanna as his personal holodeck). Seriously though, some of these budget-stretching half-season-long major character absences are getting hard to handle.

The chat coincides with this week's new episode of the show, so multi-tasking skills can be utilized, by those possessing them. If I'm reading the info right, there will be a separate live chat for east coast and west coast airings of the show. Sign up early to avoid the waitlist.
