Ds9 kicks off in feature film style in season 4 with "The Way of The Warrior" parts 1 and 2 interlinked. This was really well done. Putting every character including almost every guest character into the hole thing and all the characters linking the story together. Worf from "The Next Generation" makes his first appearance as a main character in this episode all the way to the final in season 7. The battle sqequences and interlinking of all the alien races and characters make this 2 parter work so well. Following this are 2 excellent episodes "The Visitor" with Jake as an old man in the future reflecting on the past that took his father. A very emotional episode indeed and the actors can be very proud of their work. The writers too. "Hippocratic Oath" sees Miles and Julian captured by Jem Hadar and both characters are in disagreement as to how to deal with a complex situation. On disc 2 "Indiscretion follows" on and is a very unlightly combination of focusing on Kira and Du Kat being partners to rescue some long lost crash victims. It gets more complex as the episode progreses. Nice to see ds9 using outdoor locations like the desert which was really convincing of an alien crash site in this episode.
"Little Green Men" Is a very imaginative funny episode involving Quark, Nog and Rom somhow being transported back in time to Roswell in 1947 - You know this is the real truth about Roswell, the proof is in the episode. "Starship Down" put me on edge when I saw it first as it seems 1 or more of the main character might have died becuase of the devastation done to the Defiant by the Dominion. "Sword Of Kahless" sees Jadzia, Worf and Kor go in search for the legendary Sword only to have other parties purse it too. Thers a James Bond style episode "Our Man Bashir" whcih interesting and entertaining seeing the main cast members and Garak play roles or maybe there alter egos? in the Holsuite. Rom forms A Union in "Bar Association" which I like now where as in previous years I would have overlooked this kind of episode a lot. A ferengi Episode involving mostly Rom, and other Ferengi and Lita. A lot of credit should go to Max Grodenchik for playing Rom. From the episode Rom suffers a bad ear ache "Brother am I still standing?" then keels over unconcious. "Lita to Quark, "Arent you going to do something?" Quark replies, " Yes I am, Im going to dock his pay" Rom tries to form a Workers Union. On disc 6 is "To The Death" You never thought youd see the federation and the Dominion team up, but they do for this episode and Wyoun makes his debut in ds9. Th actor actually played a 1 off character in season 1 and severeal other characters inlcuding Brunt and Shran in Enterprise. "Body Parts" sees Quark having to auction off his body parts in the second last episode of the season, Garaks in this 1 too. Then "Broken Link" is the final of season 4 and ends the Season well with but with Odo in trouble.
There are slightly more extras in season 4 than seasons 1-5. They are "Charting New Territory:DS9 Season 4", "Crew Dossier:LT Worf", "Michael Westmores Aliens Season 4", "DS9 Sketchbook: John Eaves"
"Bob Blackmans Designs of the Future", "Jim Martin Sketchbook", "DS9 Chronicles", "PHOTO GALLERY" And as always semi hidden section 31 hidden files/easter eggs to find and click on involving quick few minute inteviews with cast members or producers and artists of the show.

starting to live up to it's full potential

After a less than stellar start to deep space nine with seasons 1 & 2,followed by the signs of a great show emerging in season 3,season 4 sees the show living up to its potential as it opens with a stunning 2 parter way of the warrior which introduces a certain klingon officer to the crew as well as escalate tensions to the breaking point between the federation & klingon empire, the season carries on going from strength to strength with some fine episodes delving into mirror universes, combining forces with sworn enemies love that never dies, & traitorous officers. By this point the cast were all comfortable with their respective roles & the special effects rather good, from action orientated episodes like to the death, way of the warrior, for the uniform to the more dramatic touching episodes like the visitor, rejoined, the quickening this series boasts some of the best stand alone episodes of deep space nine & at this low price its definitely worth a look.
