A travel back in time. The marvel of the contemporary industrial expansion. How east met wet west.

Although the current season has moved on to introduce some new characters, season 4 had some of its best moments with some of the old ones. Of course, Cullen Bohannon, Doc Durant & The Swede are the steady regulars, I was really pleased with Elam's return episode and blown away with Ruth's showcase as her world gets turned upside down episode. INCREDIBLE! It should also go without saying that technical marks are all 9's & 10's across the board for audio & video presentation scores! For a show that people feared was looking at cancellation after the second season, it has returned better than ever. Westerns will always be here to stay when done right.

Even if you watched the show on cable, the box set is worth it just for the out takes and extras. It is a true story with some embellishments so the story does not become to dull with historical facts. My only regret is that the current season 5 is the last season. The story will be told and finished at the end in 2016. I now have all four seasons on Blue Ray, the scenes are fantastic, breathtaking sometimes. Great photography. And the story is also well worth watching over again.

As good, if not better than the first three seasons. The writing, acting and sets are spot on for the period. The bluray video is sharp and clear. Color is rich contrast and black level is excellent. Sound is very good, bass especially in frequent gun fire is realistic with appropriate punch. Only complaint is surround sound is only so so, but that is the case for a great many television series.

It is too bad they are only going with 5 seasons. But season 4 was one of the best yet. Yes, they have no reservations on who they kill off but the style and reasons (and revenge) along with a strong cast and story line make up for it. Episode Two Trains was absolutely awesome!
