The fourth series of Deep Space Nine can be summed up in one word: Klingons! The show's producers apparently felt beset from all sides. Babylon 5 was a huge hit, as was Star Trek: Voyager, the flagship of new channel UPN. Stepping up DS9's action quotient seemed to be the answer. Time would tell, however, whether doing so via Trek's tried-and-tested former bad guys was the best solution. Opening with a special two-hour extravaganza, the new year was immediately unfamiliar. Dennis McCarthy's original theme--despite winning an Emmy--had been deemed too subdued. As its upbeat new rendition kicked off, the station was seen in battle and swarming with activity. Moments later, we met old/new crewmember Worf, whose sudden appearance was the result of a brewing invasive strategy by the Klingons. This initiated the first of many loyalty shifts, as the Cardassians became the victims. With plenty of re-appearances by Gowron, Kor, and Kurn, it was clear that an ongoing space opera was being crafted. Dukat revealed a tragedy-ridden daughter; Odo's relationship with his people (and Kira) became increasingly melancholy; and even the Jem'Hadar foot soldiers were given a sympathetic angle by their drug addiction.
Adding to the layers of ambiguity about Earth's (read: the producers') position over being at war, was the "outing" of two recurring characters as rebel activists. Lest we forget the homely/spiritual side of the Captain, time was spent with a future version of Jake, with his father (Brock Peters), and on the nature of his role as "the Emissary." Avery Brooks worked behind the camera a couple of times, but this year the surprise was LeVar Burton directing five shows. There was still time for comedy: the Ferengi warped back to Roswell in 1947 and Bashir played James Bond. But the year will be remembered predominately for its violence. One of the episodes Burton directed had its fight scenes drastically cut, while the series as a whole won an Emmy for its space battle effects.--Paul Tonks

I'd put season 4 a notch above 2 and 3, which were both generally excellent. It's not quite at the "firing on all cylinders" brilliance of the final 3 seasons, but there are only a few duds and even the filler episodes are fairly strong.
Worf's arrival is of course the big surprise here - at times he feels a little grafted on and out of place, though by season 5 he would be an inseparable part of the cast. The first ten or so episodes are a very strong stretch - "The Way of the Warrior", ... Read More

Starting with Way of the Warrior with its introduction of Worf and its large scale battle scenes, the series really takes off this season. The Visitor may be DS9's best episode and certainly its most heartfelt. It also contains the fun episodes Little Green Men, Our Man Bashir, and Bar Association; the suspenseful Homefront/Paradise Lost two-parter; the tragic love stories Crossfire, Rejoined and For the Cause; and many other strong episodes. Season Four also ses the introduction of series regulars Martok, ... Read More

Great season. My husband is a ST junkie and has enjoyed this. Dvd arrived in tip top shape and super quick.

I am a huge Star Trek fan anyways, however Deep Space Nine engages more fully with any viewer's life and with society as a whole than any other ST series. "Rejoined," "Hard Time," "The Visitor" and many others in this season truly capture humanity at its best and worst.
Rating: -
If you have made it this far into this series let alone into the franchise you will understand every season has its exceptional episodes and its lackluster episodes and this one is no different. I have actually found episodes I have never seen and I thought that was impossible. I am no trekkie but as an engineer I love this series and have all of ST the next generation and am working to get all of ST DS9 and ST voyager.
