Star Trek: Enterprise - The Complete Fourth Season - BLU-RAY [6 Discs]

If you are a fan of Star Trek. I recommend that you add Enterprise Season 4 to your collection. We are introduced to the Mirror Universe in this season which ties into The Original Series.

The origins of the Federation, the reason Klingons looked different in The Original Series, genetic augments, even the mirror universe. Enterprise Season 4 should rank among the greatest seasons of Star Trek ever. A couple more episodes with more original plots may have benefited the season, as would have better development for Hoshi, Mayweather, and Reed, but there is so much good in this season that purchase is a must, even if you avoid the other three seasons. Beautiful in Blu-Ray, and some interesting special features round it out, the last season of Star Trek (hopefully, only to date) is a must buy.

Going into the fourth season they knew it was the end, so as the show runners said, they decided to just have fun with it and tell the stories they'd been wanting to tell. One of my favorites was the two-episode Mirror Universe...it was cleverly done to tie it into a seemingly insignificant part of another episode in another series. The Terra Prime story arc is where the series ended for me, with the last episode having some very creative writing and good intentions (again, sort of tying it into another episode from another series), but it was poorly executed which made it seem like a half-hearted attempt by Rick and Brannon (the writers of the last episode) and that they were just trying to get the show over with.

If you love Star Trek, you'll enjoy this season set. Although not near as good as the 3rd season, it is composed of many independent story lines that make for a nice deviation from the continuous season 3 story line and plot. When a show gets cancelled, they have to accelerate episodes and find a good ending. This is unfortunate but it has happened. Pick up this set and keep it for your collector's edition sets. Always remember the great run Star Trek has had and watch these episodes from time to time.

Nice video quality, better than the first 3 seasons. There are good short story arcs that span 2-4 episodes each. That's a nice contrast to the Xindi plot that spanned the entire 3rd season. I know the series is seen as weaker than its predecessors, but I think airing season 4 on Fridays helped kill the series. I know I forgot to watch it sometimes because it was on Fridays.
