DVD Reviews of Babylon 5: The Complete Fourth Season (Repackage)
DVD Review: About as good as it gets
Summary: 5 Stars
As most people who are interested in the 4th season probably know, Babylon 5 is considered to be one of the better science fiction shows ever on TV. This seasons does not disappoint. A number of story lines are resolved in this season and the stage is set for a somewhat new direction for the show in the 5th season. The only somewhat odd aspect to the show was that it was sort of designed to be the last season when they thought it would be so everything left to tell was compacted into one season. This means that one of the major story lines of the series up to that point, namely the Shadow War, gets resolved somewhat abruptly right in the middle of the season and then the second major story line, the political situation on Earth, gets resolved in the second. This makes for a very packed schedule in which the action never seems to stop. Some of the episodes, especially near the end are very emotional.
I would say that there were only a couple of things I didn't like. The first was how Captain Sheridan seems to go missing and then come back from the dead not once, but twice only to carry on almost as if nothing happened. The other thing I didn't like was the Minbari Civil War. It seemed almost like an afterthought tacked on as a background for a story about Delenn and the creation of a new Grey Council. Some people may also be disappointed about the departure of two popular characters at the end of the season. In any case, all of these things are very minor. This season is really one that will keep you at the edge of your seat and wanting to see what happens next. It ends up with a not-so-well-liked substitute season finale which imagines the impact of the new alliance in the future, but I personally kind of like the episode. If you have watched the first three seasons, you won't want to miss this one.

Description of Babylon 5: The Complete Fourth Season (Repackage)
Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 06/16/2009Season 4 began on a high point with the Centauri Prime in the grip of the insane Emperor Cartagia (Wortham Krimmer) and a run of six shows leading to the climax of the war against the Shadows in "Into the Fire." If this colossal narrative was resolved a little too easily and the ultimate aim of the Shadows turned out to be a tad disappointing, it still proved to be the most powerful slice of space opera to ever grace the small screen. In the aftermath the sheer scale dropped back a little but the pace never slowed as the rest of the season played out in one relentless cycle of conspiracy, betrayal and conflict, Babylon 5 siding with the rebel Mars colony against the totalitarian Earth.
Meanwhile Delenn came increasingly into conflict with her own people and, paralleling her relationship with Sheridan, Garibaldi became involved with his ex-fiancée Lise Hampton (Denise Gentile), while an intense platonic love grew between Ivanova and Marcus Cole. On an unstoppable wave fuelled by roller-coaster plot twists and spectacular action shows from "No Surrender, No Retreat"--when Sheridan avows to overthrow EarthGov--to "Rising Star"--when the aim is realized--Babylon 5 achieved a consistent excellence rare in television. Yet within that run "Intersections in Real Time" stood out as a bold experiment; essentially a two-hand drama taking place entirely within one dimly lit room. Beyond this a major character died and Sheridan and Delenn married before the season finale again broke with expectation. In "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars," a future descendant of humanity one million years hence reviews excerpts from the history of Babylon 5. In one sequence set in 2762, a Brother is devoted to the preserving of history some time after the "Big Burn." A homage to Walter M. Miller's classic A Canticle for Leibowitz, Sheridan and Delenn have themselves become the stuff of legend. --Gary S. Dalkin
