Customer Reviews of Samurai Jack: Season 4

"He who runs with aggression walks without dignity."
Unpredictable. Illogical. Impossible. He is THE ONE! Samurai Jack--defender of truth, freedom, and talking dogs--is back for a fourth and final season of futuristic hacking and slashing. Set 4's two discs come in a cardboard slipcase, tastefully decorated in a gold honeycomb pattern with Aku's hideous likeness prominently featured on the front (unless your fold-out disc-holder is upside-down and backwards, as mine was). Disc 2 includes a nice selection of extras like promos, deleted scenes, and a very interesting visit with the show's creators entitled, `Genndy's Roundtable.' <
> <
>Among these thirteen stellar episodes is the hilarious two-parter, `The Scotsman Saves Jack,' in which we meet a goofy guy in a red jacket by the name of Brent Worthington, who just happens to look exactly like Jack. In episode XLII, Jack encounters a hip-hoppin', jive-talkin' "Sam-u-rai," and teaches him that, "You can never defeat another if you know not how to defeat yourself." <
> <
>In XLI, Jack traverses the devastated streets of Andromeda and is attacked by the awesome Mondo-bot. The frightened robotic Andromedan citizens lead the wandering samurai warrior to a Gundam-like mobile suit and Jack attacks the Mondo-bot Voltron style. <
> <
>Episode XLIII begins with yet another battle with the fiendish Aku. But this time, Aku calls the fight off early because he's afflicted with a nasty cold virus. Unfortunately, before leaving, the shape-shifting villain coughs up a piece of himself...a piece which Jack accidentally swallows! Our hero is slowly but surely possessed by the evil black spirit of all-enshrouding Akuness, and so he must travel to the watery temple of the lizard-monks for help. <
> <
>XLVII is an obvious homage to 'Star Wars,' featuring the butterfly-like Prince Astor and Princess Verbina of Alepidopterans. The insectoid siblings (along with their golden assistant, Chitron 6) are relentlessly pursued by Squoomian gunships as they leave their home on Chrysalis to search for their royal navy. They crash-land in Samurai Jack's world and are quickly captured by Aku's demonic minions. <
> <
>Episode L introduces an emotional robot hit man in a black trench coat and wingtip shoes who's pining for his little lost dog, Lulu, a.k.a. "sweet thing." The merciless Aku is holding Lulu hostage in order to coax her mechanized owner out of retirement. Aku wants Samurai Jack terminated, and the twin pistol-wielding dog-lover is more than willing to do the job...as soon as the rain stops. <
> <
>So, at long last, all of Jack's adventures are available on DVD. But, it is a bit disappointing to learn that, like `Lost in Space,' this spectacular series does not have a satisfactory finale. Genndy Tartakovsky says there might be a Samurai Jack movie someday. Let's hope that day comes very soon. In the meantime, the screaming baby episode will have to do.

THERE ARE NO WORDS....
I just got the set today and started watching immediately... it only took a few minutes to realize this show completely exceeds all expecations and totally blows you away. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW!!! What spectacular visuals, stories, and fighting scenes. I can't begin to describe just how well done the episodes are. This is truly the cream of the crop. I will watch this dozens of times more and never tire... If you are a fan of any sort of action or anime, pick this up!! Truly one of the best of all time.

The Final Jack-down
You knew this day would come eventually. It's the fourth, and sadly last, season of one of the greatest action series that has ever graced the airwaves of Cartoon Network: Samurai Jack. The series created by Genndy Tartakofsky (Of Clone Wars and Dexter's Lab fame) may have reached its end, but Jack's quest still continues nonetheless. As long as he has his powerful sword and his vengeance toward Aku, the story will never end. <
> <
>And now, here's my very last top five episodes from season four. Here goes. <
> <
>5. "Jack and the Baby" - Jack discovers a infant boy and takes the child along with him. Now he must find the baby's mother and fast. <
> <
>4. "Jack and the Four Seasons of Death" - Jack faces the dangers of winter, spring, summer, and autumn. And by dangers I mean the perils that each season spawns. <
> <
>3. "The Aku Infection" - An unwell Aku sneezes on Jack and pretty soon, Aku's evil has taken over Jack's body. <
> <
>2. "The Scotsman Saves Jack" (parts 1 & 2) - The Scotsman, one of Jack's allies, attempts to rescue Jack who has lost his memory. After rescuing his friend, the Scotsman and the Samurai challenge each other to see who's the best. <
> <
>1. "Jack vs. Aku" - It's the ultimate showdown as Jack and Aku go one-on-one with each other. <
> <
>Honorable mention: "Robo-Samurai vs. Mondo-Bot" - Jack has been proclaimed the "Chosen One" in a new city. He then enters the body of the Robo-Samurai and attempts to defeat the evil Mondo-Bot destroying the city. <
> <
>Don't forget to check out a couple of special features which are a commentary with the creators of the show and a cool how-to-draw featurette. <
> <
>Well, they say that all good things must come to an end. And a series as good as Samurai Jack might as well end, too. Jack's adventures still continue in Cartoon Network Action Pack comic books, but those won't compare to the brilliant award-winning series that won the hearts of many viewers. (And as weird as it seems, there was an episode of "Duck Dodgers" that was totally inspired by this series.) <
> <
>Either way, have faith in the Samurai. No matter what.
